It may be the heart of winter right now, but before we know it, birds will be chirping and the bulbs will be blooming. Warmer weather brings less clothing and, of course, the end of hibernation for the nation’s hottest diesel events and shows. Since calendars fill up fast, here are a few diesel activities to pencil into your schedule so you can ready your truck or plan a family adventure to check out the show ’n shine, drag racing, burnout, and dyno action. It’s bound to be a year of broken records and on the flip-side, broken egos.
