2017 Valley Blackout

$22,000 Up For Grabs

- Chris Tobin

May 13, 2017, was a great day for diesel truck racing with bright blue skies and warm temperatures gracing the Ohio Valley Dragway near Louisville, Kentucky. Fortunately for diesel fans and competitors, the All Diesel Day Valley Blackout crew of Banean Woosley, Marty Schindler and Jimmy McIntosh hosted the fourth annual event on that beautiful day, drawing in more than 150 competitors and nearly 2,000 spectators.

Of course, central to the activities were four classes of drag racing down the 1/8-mile track, but there was also a large dyno competition on the Diesel Doctor mobile chassis dyno, a show-n-shine competition and tons of diesel performance vendors on site showing off their latest and greatest products. A total of $22,000 was up for grabs at the event with great diesel trucks trying to take home as much of the cash as possible.
