LETTER FROM THE EDITOR TUCKER HARRIS

This month we’ve been planning our SEMA content and getting “Stock to Not” going so we are ready for the Daytona Turkey Rod Run! (Check out the January 2024 issue for our introduction to this project.) As with most projects, most things don’t go as planned, and there are absolutely more costs and parts involved than originally anticipated—and this one is no exception to that.

The SEMA process is super stressful and laborious to most, but luckily, this year the builds that are in our scope are some of the best (in my humble opinion) out of the past few years—so it’s been an easy time picking out what we feel needs to be featured in the upcoming months.

Speaking of The ’24 show season, don’t forget to check out our current event list and put all of those events in your plans for this year!

Thanks for grabbing another issue of Diesel World. See you next month.
