  • Real BioDiesel Power

    For those that think Diesels are slow, Have a look at the Cummins DIESEL Dragster. It runs a 7 sec ET on Biodiesel using a 6 Cyl 5.9L Dodge truck engine!

    For some great Video clips of the DHRA ( Diesel hot rod association) championships, Have a look at the rest of the clips on the Video page. The Drag racing is great but you just got to be impressed by how much smoke those tractor Pullers belch out. Hope they are running clean, enviromentaly friendly Bio too!

    This is a link to the Diesel hot rod associations web Site. Lots of fast oil burners there!

    They have the F-350/ GMC type " Pickups" running 10 sec quarters and they are street registered. Getting into the 10's is an achievement with any street car let alone a big, heavy brick of a diesel ute!
    I'd be real happy with even a 13 second car which would be faster off the lights than 95% of the cars on the road.

    Next time you come across someone that thinks biodiesel is bogus or diesels are slow, Show them one of these clips and tell them this is how you are going to be modifing YOUR Diesel vechicle.

    Reminds me of some of one of Shaun's episodes. One of our members, Shaun Murphy, did a TV series where he went around the US in alternatively fueled vehicles. Of course, biodiesel played a major part in this. I did see a snippet on a biodiesel dragster. The series is not yet released here, but we were hoping to have a screening of it if we can ever get ourselves together for a social gathering.
    You can find the biodiesel dragster here: http://www.ecotrekker.com/technology.htm
