Penn College Diesel Performance Club
Message from the Club
After 25-plus years of combined efforts from many students and alumni, with the support of our corporate partners, the Penn College Drag Truck, "Accelerated Learning" has achieved its major goal of roaring down the Strip at 100 mph! This past academic year the club has made numerous visits to Beaver Springs, Numidia, Maple Grove, and Island Dragway. After extensive modification and tuning, we developed 869 rear wheel horsepower and 8018 ft/lbs. of rear wheel torque the 12,000 lb Mack and TJ Buck ran its fastest pass of 13.30 at 106 MPH! Our current efforts are focused on exhaust system efficiency, rear sustention modification, and a full-time electric real-time on-board data acquisition system.
We invite your support this year!
Our People
"Motorama, an annual motorsports extravaganza held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, has been a great experience. I had the privilege of talking to alumni who come by our booth and high school students who are interested in the diesel programs. With more than 5,000 participants and 50,000 motorsport spectators, there was plenty of networking to do."
