Seen this on CompD. Figured it was only a matter of time before Banks came back for the records. I didn't realize they were releasing a billet Duramax head either. Anyone have insight on that part?
"Today, Friday Nov 8th, 2013, straight from the Banks booth at the Sema show in Las Vegas, NV. Gale Banks and company announced they will attend the NHRDA season opener in Bakersfield, CA on Mar 22nd, 2014 at Famoso Dragstrip. Banks will bring out the super efficient twin-screw supercharged dragster to showcase their new billet Duramax heads. Gale wants to capture the NHRDA Top Diesel ET record from Scheid and the MPH record from Hypermax. With a new billet head and Bosch Motorsports directly working on fuel delivery, they plan to have the HP necessary to de-throne the kings of the diesel mechanical injection world.
Also coming out of retirement is the Banks S-10 Sidewinder Prostock truck which will also attend and compete in the NHRDA event. The S-10 Sidewinder will also feature a new Duramax based power plant with Bank's billet heads, the forced induction system is yet to be determined but will likely retain a parallel twin turbo setup. Gale wants to re-capture both the ET record and MPH record currently held by the Flo-Pro Prostock truck owned and operated by The Wade Moody.
Banks specifically wanted see Scheid, Hypermax, and Wade/Flo-Pro in attendance to see their records fall. If anyone has insider connections with Scheid, Hypermax, & Wade, let them know this is a real call out, Banks wants the best of the best to be there to compete.
There are exactly 19 weeks and 12 hours before the event, bring your "A" game!"
