PRI 2024: Paul Vasko's Record-Setting Diesel Dragster

Diesel-powered vehicles are good for more than towing. Paul Vasko's dragster became the first five-second diesel-powered vehicle.

If that is the same car/driver, I think I saw him up at Bandimere the last time I went up there.

I like the diesel stuff, import stuff, jets and various exhibition cars. Drag racing doesn't revolve around 6th Gen Camaros. A few years back, a team out of the DFW area brought an X-Pro Stock Dakota (Matt Hartford) to our track (all-concrete 1/8 mile), retrofitted with a Cummins and compound turbos shoving a ton of wind down its throat. Ran 5.50s.
