If you like heart-pounding, diesel-powered action, then Bowling Green, Kentucky, in May is the place to be. Home to both TS Performance and the annual TS Performance Outlaw event, Bowling Green plays hosts to the biggest and most fun diesel drags and sled pulls in the eastern part of the United States. Fierce competition can be found as the biggest names in the business compete for the top prize in both the drag races and sled pulls. The show ’n’ shine has grown each year to the point where it’s a definite must for those with shiny trucks. The magazine editors turn out in droves for this event, so the chances of seeing your truck in print are very good—hence a whole lot of people make the trek to Kentucky.

A big, grassy area at Jim Franklin Community Park in Franklin, Kentucky, serves as the show ’n’ shine area. We noticed a sizable increase in the amount of show trucks entered—as well as a boost in the quality of the trucks.
