Street-Legal Diesel Cars to Meet in 2007 ATS mountain/Truck Fest

Aimed at changing the perception of today's diesel trucks and sponsored by Bandimere Speedway, the 5th Annual ATS Diesels on the Mountain/Truck Fest will be held on July 21-22.



Featuring street legal diesel powered automobiles; this two day gathering is one of USA's biggest diesel truck events. Coming from all over the country, the street legal diesel powered vehicles can run the quarter mile faster than most sports cars can do. This event is for individuals fond of diesel and racing.



Dustin Bentz's Cummins Racing, an ATS diesel dragster, will once again be featured in the said event. Dustin was the first diesel racer to finish the quarter mile in just, believe this, seven seconds. Dustin's dragster runs with Blue Sun Bio Diesel unlike the regular diesel fuel powered car. The Blue Sun Bio Diesel is a mixture of traditional fuels and vegetable oil giving the exhaust a pleasant smell. Ideally all exhaust like an Ansa exhaust should have a pleasant smell.



According to Scott Bentz, owner of the bio diesel race car, the ATS diesel dragster has proven that the Cummins "B" engine is reliable and can give nearly unlimited performance potential. He further said they are at present building a second car with a Common Rail Cummins ISB which is expected to go even faster, with less smoke, yet more power.

The event will not only feature the diesel dragster. Further features include street legal diesel powered cars competing in bracket format racing, special truck exhibitions, truck show, rock crawlers. Midway will be a vendor that features products for improved performance for both gas and diesel vehicles.

All truck owners are invited to join the said event. Being open to any type of truck from diesel big rigs and concrete haulers to compact gas powered trucks, all diesel vehicle owners can have the chance to compete.



Admission cost for two days is $26.00, while a participant will only pay half ($13.00) for a single day admission. Children with ages 12 years old and below will get free admission provided their chaperone adult will pay the aforementioned price. Discount coupons are available at ATS Diesel Performance.



In lieu with the forthcoming Diesels on the Mountain, ATS Diesel will sponsor an open house/dealer tech conference a day before the big event (July 20). The technical seminar is scheduled in the morning while the open house will start in the afternoon.



A manufacturer and installer of after-market performance auto products for light duty Ford, Dodge and General Motor diesel trucks, ATS Diesel Performance features products like turbo chargers, air intake and exhausts.
