If you’ve ever wondered what happens when 40,000 pounds of chrome, diesel smoke, and pure horsepower line up on a drag strip — welcome to St. Thomas Dragway’s big rig Test & Tune night.

This wasn’t just your average evening of cars blasting down the track. Nope. This was semis. Big rigs. Working-class legends turned weekend warriors, showing up in everything from classic square-nose beasts to newer rigs that looked like they just left a long-haul delivery.

The burnouts? Absolutely ridiculous. Tires screaming, smoke clouds rolling, and the kind of noise that makes you question if your eardrums have health insurance. The crowd loved it. Every launch down the strip got people cheering, pointing, and filming like their phone memory wasn’t already full.

It wasn’t just about racing — it was about the vibe. Families, gearheads, and truckers all standing shoulder to shoulder, watching rigs that usually haul freight go head-to-head just for bragging rights.

Big chrome stacks. Boosted diesels. Smoke everywhere. And yeah… it was glorious.

Here are some photos and a video I grabbed from the night. Trust me, you’re gonna want the volume up for this one.
