Fire and smoke ended up being the theme for the 1st annual Little River Diesel Throwdown in Texas and we are sure it will continue for the second annual. Last year there were over 80 trucks participating and 1500 people watching the one day event, which is pretty fantastic and a good sign that this year will be even bigger!

It will be hard to top Zach Gadwaw in his Duramax which actually caught the tires on fire during the burnout competition, but we are sure that there will be a few people up to the task. On the drag racing side of things, there is already some keyboard battling going on within the forums. So, you know “it’s on” at the track!

In addition to the burnout competition, there will be a mobile dyno on hand to dyno anyone willing to hook up. Whether you own a diesel or not, there will be lots to do and see, throughout the whole day.
