8sec Thailand Turbo Diesel Trucks (video)

Thailand, a country known for its rich culture and picturesque landscapes, is also home to one of the most exhilarating turbo diesel drag events: King Drag. This event is not just any drag race; it's a showcase of Thailand's unique automotive culture, blending speed with style.
 
At King Drag, you'll find a mix of purpose-built drag trucks capable of running into the eights and show trucks that exude a style unparalleled anywhere else on Earth. Most of these showstoppers are based on the Isuzu D-Max, a popular choice in Thailand. These trucks are not just for show; they're a testament to the country's love for four-cylinder turbo diesels.

 
One of the most intriguing aspects of these trucks is their engine bays. The turbos, though small in size, pack a punch, making these trucks a force to be reckoned with on the drag strip.
 
The event also highlighted the 55mm turbo class, a popular race series in Thailand. Trucks in this class are divided based on their tires: some sport a proper drag slick, while others run on a 275 street tire. Regardless of the class, these trucks are a testament to the skill and passion of Thai automotive enthusiasts.

 
As the sun set on Bangkok drag avenue, the atmosphere was electric. The fast trucks took to the track, leaving behind plumes of black diesel smoke. The roar of the engines, the thrill of the race, and the camaraderie among participants and spectators alike made King Drag an event to remember.
 
If you're an automotive enthusiast looking for a unique experience, Thailand's King Drag is a must-visit. It's not just a race; it's a celebration of speed, style, and the spirit of the Thai automotive community.
