Featuring a Show and Shine, burnout pit, bikini contest, dyno competitions, and more, there is something for everyone.
Burn Out Pit
This year the burnout pit at AC Truck Meet was bigger and better than in years past. Divided into three distinct classes – bro (yes, you read that right), pro, and open. These competitions offered a mix of skill, power, and of smoke from the tires. It brought a real level of excitement to Bader Field. The bro class kicked off the adrenaline rush around noon, setting a high bar for the rest of the event. Following this, the pro class took to the course, displaying a higher level of expertise and vehicular prowess.
Each class brought its own unique flair to the event, allowing diesel truck owners to either showcase their vehicles’ capabilities or simply enjoy the show from the sidelines. The spectator field for this event was stacked deep all day long. Enthusiasts did whatever they could to get the perfect view. The raw energy of engines roaring, tires screeching, and crowds cheering created an unforgettable atmosphere, emphasizing the sheer power and performance trucks are capable of. This thrilling component of the Atlantic City Truck Meet underscored the community’s passion for trucks. It definitely was a highlight for all who attended.
Dyno Competition
Another element of the show at the Atlantic City Truck Meet, the dyno competition offered a thrilling display of horsepower and torque from a wide range of trucks. Each dyno class catered to various performance levels and modifications, ensuring a diverse and competitive environment.
Participants had the opportunity to strap their trucks onto the dyno. This not only provided a benchmark for owners to gauge their truck’s performance, but also created a competitive yet friendly atmosphere among participants. The crowd stood in anticipation as each truck was rolled on, strapped down, and then made their dyno pull in an attempt to put down their best numbers.
The dyno competition had a continuous draw throughout the day. It attracted huge crowds eager to see which trucks would come out on top. It was not just about the numbers; it was a chance for owners to share modifications, strategies, and stories behind their builds. This exchange of knowledge and experience is vital, especially for enthusiasts looking to enhance their truck’s performance. The dyno competitions stood as a testament to the power and potential these trucks hold. This is a must-watch event for any enthusiast attending the meet.

Adjacent to the fun at the dyno, the vendor area provided a wide range of options for attendees. Here, one could navigate booths filled with the latest truck parts, accessories, and tech advancements.
