How many pickup trucks participated last year?

Three trucks from the Kalispell area (including myself) went down to participate. I'm thinking that there were probably 20-25 trucks (diesels) that dynoed and probably 20 or so that raced (those are my best guess - I didn't count and probably forgot a few!). The dyno ran all day and was still running when we left (it wasn't limited to diesels only, they ran some gassers later in the day). The drags were fun and the track there is really nice!

It was worth the 450 mile drive IMO and I believe that all of us from here that went last year are going again, plus one or two...

I really wanted to make this one.... My daughter's end of the school year activities prevent me from attending... Wish it was a week later....

FYI - There ended up being somewhere between 15 and 20 trucks that dynoed. $25 for a regular run, $40 for a money run (top dyno # took the pot). 20 trucks entered the drag races; $150 for the winner of the brackets, $50 for the runner-up. It was $25 to race.

I didn't stay for the sled pulls on Sunday, so cannot say how those turned out.

It was a fun weekend and for the second year in a row I am glad that I made the trip.
