Amsoil exhibit. Central Hall. SEMA. Be there. After a 10-month transformation of a rusty, ’66 C20 into a frame-laying hot-rod with a supercharged L5P Duramax under the hood and an Allison 1000 handling the shifts, Banks is revealing Project LokJaw to the public. The 3.8L Gen-5 Whipple supercharger sitting atop the L5P Duramax is intended to showcase the company’s forthcoming line of turnkey crate engines. The supercharged version will be available to consumers first, followed by a twin-turbo Duramax, and finally a supercharged and turbocharged configuration. If you’re headed to the SEMA Show, you can even catch Gale Banks fielding questions about the build on Tuesday and Wednesday at 2 pm from the AMSOIL Booth.

Domestic race. He and his ’93 first-gen coined “The Fossil” are locked in to the True Street class. The 32-car field should be a good way to get compression-ignition on display in front of the masses, and do it old-school style. Logan’s P-pumped, Scheid-built Cummins is rumored to be capable of turning out at least 1,800 hp. We’ll find out how much of that power Logan is able to use on November 3-7 at Maryland International Raceway.

Now, after months of repairs and updates, it’s inching closer and closer to being track-ready again. The welds are perfect, the aluminum anodizing is top-shelf, and the Cummins looks to be sporting plenty of billet. Once a record-holder for being the world’s fastest diesel door-slammer, we can’t wait to see Daniel’s Nova moving under its own power once more. As soon as it’s back out in the wild, we’ll give you a full update.

Recent testing has shown their standard cab Silverado is capable of running 6.70s like clockwork. Other racing classes on the docket at Diesel Truck Wars include ET Bracket, 7.70 Index, Outlaw, and Singles Elite, a single turbo, no-nitrous, heads-up category that should be interesting to watch. It all goes down Saturday October 30 at Northeast Dragway in Hertford, North Carolina.

This year, one of the fastest Duramax-powered trucks in existence will be on hand, with the potential to put up 8-second passes. How fitting is it that Brett Deutsch’s wheels-up ’69 C10 will be competing at the site of the World Power Wheel Standing Championships… Awards will be handed out to the top three Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke performers, along with the fastest manual transmission racer in attendance.

Magnesium is an integral alloying material used in producing steel, aluminum, and many other metals—and the European Union depends on China for 95-percent of its magnesium supply. As a result of ongoing coal and electric power shortages in China, the Chinese government has all but halted magnesium production in an effort to curb its domestic power consumption. Europe is on track to exhaust its current magnesium stocks by the end of November.
