Diesel Trucks For Children's Charities - Desert Thunder

Pulling For CharityDiesel truck pulling has evolved into a pretty serious sport. Top competitors are running $50,000 engines and changing parts almost every weekend, but every once in a while there are grassroots-style events that remind us where the sport came from. One such event occurred on June 14th in Palmdale, California. The sled pull was part of a larger event called Thunder on the Lot, an event that focuses on helping children's charities-everything from helping fight muscular dystrophy to providing adequate dental care for children in the area. The event features a car and bike show, a burnout contest, and more. This year saw the addition of diesel sled pulling to the lineup, which helped raise more than $300,000 for children.
