🏁 CLASS ACT IS BACK! 🏁

After what felt like a long time away from the track, Class Act finally got the chance to hook again at the Portage County Fair OSTPA pull!

To say this season has been a lot of trial and error would probably be an understatement. Our crew has spent countless hours working on this truck, changing things, testing things, scratching their heads, changing them again… and occasionally wondering if our ideas were ever going to cooperate.

We decided Portage was the perfect place to finally test out what our mad engine scientists have been working on.

And well… the science experiment seemed to have work. 🧪🔬

We went into the night simply hoping to make a good pass, learn something, and see how the truck responded. We certainly weren’t expecting to come out on top — especially by only about half a foot! It doesn’t get much closer than that!

We are incredibly grateful and feel very blessed to have walked away with the win. More than anything, we’re proud to see all of the work our crew has put into Class Act this season finally show itself on the track. These guys have worked tirelessly behind the scenes all year, through the good, the bad, and plenty of frustrating moments. This one belongs to every person who has turned a wrench, offered an idea, lent a hand, or simply kept encouraging us to keep going. We couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to OSTPA, Cyclone Diesel Performance, Unleaded 88, other sponsors, the Portage County Fair, the officials, volunteers, fellow competitors, and everyone who came out to watch and support the sport we love. We’re just grateful to have the opportunity to be out there doing it again.

Onto the next one. 💙

The first weekend of the Fendt High Stakes Series is officially in the books!

While Class Act didn't come home with the win last weekend, we're proud to have finished with a 2nd place on Friday night and a 3rd place on Saturday before the rain brought things to an early end.

What we did bring home was valuable data, a truck that continues to run strong, and confidence that all of the hard work put in during the offseason is moving us in the right direction. There were a lot of adjustments made to get ready for the 2026 season, and we're proud of how Class Act performed against some of the toughest competition in the country.

Most importantly, we're grateful for our amazing team behind the truck. The countless hours spent in the shop, the late nights, the problem-solving, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get to the track ready to compete never go unnoticed. This sport takes a village, and we're fortunate to have a great one.

A huge thank you to our sponsors for making it possible for us to do what we love: IHRA, Fendt, Hot Shot's Secret, Rural King, MAC Trailer, Summit Racing Equipment, and so many others who support our team throughout the season. And of course, our amazing fans that are there for us, rain or shine! Thank you for your support, it truly means the world to us!

We also want to thank Darana Dragway 42 for hosting an outstanding event. The entire weekend was first-class, and everything ran incredibly smoothly despite the weather challenges.

And finally, congratulations to RJ Simon and the Drivers Wanted team on sweeping the weekend. That's an impressive accomplishment, and they put on one heck of a show for the fans.

We're motivated, thankful, and already looking ahead to the next stop in Farley, Iowa June 19th and 20th. See you there! 💨🚛 And if you cannot be there, you can catch the pulls live for FREE on Speed Sport 1 and propulling.tv!

🦖 THROWBACK THURSDAY 🦖

While digging through some old team stuff, we uncovered this relic of a shirt. And when we say old… we mean dinosaurs-might-have-been-sponsors old. 🦕😂

This thing has seen more seasons than we can count, survived countless hooks, and somehow managed to stick around long enough to become a certified piece of Class Act history.

But enough about ancient artifacts…

🔥 ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP UNTIL THE FIRST HOOK OF THE Fendt High Stakes Series! 🔥

Tomorrow night, we'll roll into Darana Dragway ready to kick off a brand-new series against some of the toughest competition in the country.

The caliber of competition headed to West Salem is second to none, and we’re looking forward to lining up with some of the best in the sport. Whether you’re pulling, wrenching, cheering from the stands, or just there for the smell of diesel and dirt, this weekend is shaping up to be something special.

New series. 👀
New look on the truck. 👀
What's next...

New team shirts...? 😏
New fan shirts. 🤩 (jk, but we are working on them)

You'll just have to wait and see.

So enjoy this blast from the past… and then get ready to make some new memories.

We're looking forward to seeing friends we haven't seen since last season, meeting fans old and new, hearing the roar of the engines, feeling the ground shake, and getting to do what we love.

The Hot Rod Semi class is loaded with talent, and we know every team rolling through the gate has put in the work to be here. That's what makes this sport so special.

At the end of the weekend, if we can load up, head home, and say, "Man, that was fun," we'll call it a successful start to the season.

Safe travels to all the teams making their way to West Salem, and thank you to the fans who make events like this possible.

And if you hear someone say, "I almost went..." next week, feel free to remind them they had two full days to make a better decision. 😉

🚨 THREE. MORE. SLEEPS. 🚨

That’s right… in just THREE more sleeps, history will be made at Darana Dragway (formerly Dragway 42) in West Salem, Ohio! 🔥🏁

🚜🚛 120 of the best competitors in the country
🔥 Two nights of nonstop action
🎟️ IHRA.com/pulling

Honestly, we’re not sure how much more excitement they could pack into one weekend. If they add anything else, the place might just launch into orbit.

Whether you’re a lifelong pulling fan or you’ve never seen a Hot Rod Semi throw dirt before, this is one of those events you’ll be talking about long after the final hook.

So grab your friends, grab your family, grab that neighbor who’s always mowing at 7 AM on Saturday, and head to West Salem.

Because if you’re not there… you’ll be sitting at home watching everyone else’s photos and wishing you were. And that’s a tough way to spend a weekend. 😏

We’ll be there with Class Act and IHRA Pro Pulling League is ready to put on a show. See you Friday and Saturday night!
