NHRDA Oklahoma Diesel Nationals

On May 19th and 20th, XDP headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the annual Oklahoma Diesel Nationals at Tulsa Raceway Park. This was supposed to be a 2 day event, with sled pulls on Friday, and racing on Saturday. Unfortunately, due to severe storms and tornadoes in the area, the Friday sled pull had too be cancelled. Thankfully, everything cleared up on Saturday and was warm, sunny, and with a slight breeze. Which was desperately needed to dry out the mud pit of a sled pull track.

Saturday’s drag racing event went off without a hitch with several records being broken that day.  Lavon Miller from Firepunk Diesel ran a 7.993et at 174.75mph in Pro Street qualifying. Both would be new records if he was able to back them up within 1% on his next race. Unfortunately, he was unable to back up the 7.993et to make it the record, but did set a new record at 8.121et. He did set the new record for MPH at 174.75 though, because his next race his MPH was within 1% of that.

 Due to the sunshine and breeze, the track crew for the sled pulls was able to dry out the track enough to run the sled pull event on Saturday Night.

XDP thanks the NHRDA and all it’s sponsors for another great Oklahoma Diesel Nationals event and we look forward to going back next year.
