Alberta Diesel Day Introduces the Super 66 Drag Race Class

Alberta Diesel Day Introduces the Super 66 Drag Race Class

Alberta Diesel Day is adding something new for racers who want real competition without taking things to the extreme.

Introducing the Super 66 Drag Race Class – a purpose-built diesel pickup class designed for approachable, heads-up racing and tight competition.

This class is for the diesel enthusiast who wants to line up, race hard, and be part of a level field without needing a roll cage, exotic fuel, or an all-out build. The focus is simple: consistent performance, controlled hardware, and races that come down to execution rather than excess.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d race if there was a class that made sense for my truck,” this is that class.

 

Built for Real Diesel Truck Owners

The Super 66 class was developed with everyday diesel pickups in mind. It creates a competitive environment where more trucks can participate without turning into full-time race vehicles.

By using a spec-turbo format and an 11.50-second quarter-mile target, the class keeps costs under control while delivering the kind of close, heads-up racing fans want to see. It’s fast enough to be exciting, but structured enough to stay accessible.

Both 4WD and 2WD trucks are welcome, with balancing measures in place so neither platform has an unfair advantage.

 

Why Super 66 Matters

This class represents a shift toward sustainable diesel racing – one that rewards:

  • Smart setups

  • Clean tuning

  • Driver consistency

  • Attention to detail

Instead of chasing ever-higher horsepower numbers, Super 66 puts the emphasis back on racing. For competitors, it opens the door to participation. For spectators, it means tighter races and more trucks on track.

 

Limited Field, High Interest

The Super 66 Drag Race Class will be capped to maintain quality competition and smooth event flow. With strong interest already building, this is expected to be one of the most talked-about additions to Alberta Diesel Day.

Full class structure, technical requirements, and registration details are available now.
