Some diesel events chase a theme. Weekend on the Edge chases horsepower, and it has for a quarter century. What started in 2001 as a customer appreciation day for Ogden-based Edge Products has grown into one of the biggest diesel gatherings in the Mountain West, routinely drawing 3,000 to 3,500 people to the Golden Spike Event Center. On Saturday, September 19, the 2026 edition ran from morning to well past sundown: a Northwest Dyno Series chassis-dyno competition from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., a Show N’ Shine angle-parked along the horse-track rails, vendor row, and an evening of sled pulling under the lights.
Edge capped dyno pre-registration at 65 trucks to keep the day moving, then opened leftover slots at the event trailer that morning. By the time the SuperFlow cooled off, 72 trucks had made pulls across nine classes for a combined 53,537 horsepower. For perspective, more than a decade ago Diesel World reported it took exactly 100 trucks to crest 53,000 horsepower at this same event. The field got smaller; the numbers did not.
The Main Event: Myer Stump’s 4,280
Myer Stump showed up to Ogden with momentum. In June, he won the 2026 Ultimate Callout Challenge with a record 3,393 points, the first competitor to break 3,000. A week before Weekend on the Edge, he put 4,029 hp on the board at Diesels in the Mountains. At Golden Spike, a more aggressive tune-up pushed his common-rail-swapped, second-gen Ram even further: 4,280 hp corrected and 3,503 hp uncorrected.
The data from the run reads like a spec sheet from another planet: 6,200 rpm, 133 psi of boost, a favorable 118 psi of drive pressure, and 8.5 pounds of nitrous. Under the hood sits a Power Driven Diesel 6.4L deck-plate Cummins, and, remarkably, the power still goes through an owner-built 48RE using Goerend Transmission’s captive clutch system.
Stump took the Unlimited class by nearly 1,000 hp over runner-up Chase (3,286 hp), with Levi Sharp third at 2,017 hp, Maeson Voorhees fourth at 1,719 hp, and Cole Reary fifth at 913 hp. For the record keepers, the Northwest Dyno Series Unlimited mark still belongs to Josh McCormick at 4,461 hp from 2025, which means there is still a target on the wall for next year.
Busy Days And Big Twins
If there was an award for most time spent strapped to the rollers, Levi Sharp would have a strong case. Sharp won Stock Dodge at 567 hp, took second in Big Twin at 1,690 hp, and finished third in Unlimited. Trevor Lee was nearly as busy, winning Stock Ford with 650 hp and turning up in the Large Single, Small Twin and Misc/Gas results as well.
Big Twin belonged to Wes Beaman, whose 1,869-hp pull led Sharp by nearly 180 hp. It’s a notable number for Beaman, who won last year’s Unlimited class with 1,797 hp. This year he made more power in a class below it.
The single-turbo classes delivered the closest racing of the day. Small Single was the deepest field on the property with 19 trucks, and Brooks Bybee topped it at 679 hp, with just 94 hp separating first from tenth. In Large Single, Blake Miller led at 950 hp, ahead of Payton Morris (897 hp) and Colby Foreman (860 hp). Preston Lee won Small Twin with 968 hp, edging Tyson Johnson’s 919.
On the stock side, Street Build Performance led Stock Chevy at 589 hp, and Tarrie Orton won Misc/Gas with 745 hp. Every dyno class winner took home cash plus an Edge Insight CTS3, with the Unlimited winner collecting $500 on top.
The Shown n’ Shine Glowed Brightly
While the dyno roared in the infield, the Show N’ Shine gave the crowd a reason to wander. Entrants backed their rigs in at an angle along both rails of the horse track, right between the concessions and the dyno action, so spectators could stroll the lineup and talk shop with owners. Edge kept the field wide open: show trucks, work trucks, new trucks and old trucks were all welcome, and the trucks sat in the dirt. In true Weekend on the Edge fashion, the organizers promised not to dock points for dusty wheels, since these are diesel trucks, not mall crawlers. The stakes were brand loyalty, with Edge awarding an Insight CTS3 monitor for Best Ford, Best GM and Best Dodge.
Sled Pulling Under The Lights
When the gates closed on the infield at 5 p.m., the crowd moved to the grandstands for the sled pull, run by Thain Motorsports on the 300-foot dirt track at Golden Spike. The 2026 card covered 11 classes, from Work Stock Diesel daily drivers to Super Stock Diesel pickups, tractors and Super Modified 2WD, with $1,000 to win in the top classes. June’s Mountain West Pulling Nationals at the same venue counted toward qualifying for the Edge pull, giving regional pullers a season-long reason to circle September 19.
As the dust settled on the Work Stock class, it was Wayne Yates in “Chief” that took the top prize by pulling 293.27 feet. Cody Malan in “Dumpster Fire” came in second with 277.29 feet while Tom Humphreys in “Alimony” rounded out the podium with a 277.10-foot showing.
The Outlaw Street Diesel class was won by Levi Sharp in “Dirt Thrower” with a staggering 371.70-foot pull. In second was Lyle Richmond and “Daily Driven” with 329.35 feet. Will Richards in “Always Behind” finished in third with a 270.84-foot attempt.
Why Weekend on the Edge Matters
Plenty of diesel events are built to sell tickets. Weekend on the Edge was built to thank customers, and it still feels that way: a free-to-spectate dyno day, a dusty Show N’ Shine where nobody docks points for dirty wheels, and a hometown sled pull to close out the Mountain West season. This year, it also happened to host the biggest dyno number in the West. With Stump within striking distance of the series record and Beaman stepping up in twin-turbo form, the 2027 edition already has storylines.
