The 2008 DHRA Indiana Diesel Nationals are now known as the FASS Diesel Nationals, the event takes place at O’Reilly Raceway Park (ORP) in Indianapolis, Indiana, over the weekend of May 31st and June 1st, 2008.
The event is organized and operated by DieselSport Promotions and DHRA, Inc.
The event was born as Thunder in Muncie in June of 2000 at Dave’s Diesel, in Muncie, and moved to the Gaston Lions Club Fairgrounds and the Muncie Dragway in 2001. Having grown too large for the local venues, we moved it to O’Reilly Raceway Park in 2005.
In 2005, there were 1500 diesels at ORP, with almost 300 participating in the Show-n-Shine, Pulls, Dyno and Drags.
As of 2007 9,960 diesel enthusiasts attended the event that has gained notoriety in the Indianapolis area.

Who is FASS?
Fuel Air Separation System, known as the FASS, and our High Performance Fuel Pumps, known as the HPFP, have had the privilege to be part of some of America’s favorite racing, pulling and off-road teams! Our company became incorporated in April of 2003. We started in a garage selling 30-40 units per months. We have now grown to about 1,300 units per month. We pride ourselves on the excellence of our product as well as the reputation of our company.
The FASS products were invented by Brad Ekstam, president of Diesel Performance Products, Inc. Brad knew there was a problem with a diesel engine’s performance. Through many tests and discoveries the FASS product line was born.
As the product grew in demand, there were more opportunities to discover the full potential of our product. Through countless hours of research and development we have improved our products to be the best of their kind in our growing industry.
