This week’s Tire Shredding Tuesday video features a Dodge Ram SRT10 whose owner is planning on buying new tires. However, before having the new rubber installed on his 600 horsepower Ram 1500, he is going to make sure to get every last mile off of those old tires and he aims to get those last few hundred miles over the course of about 50 feet. In other words, this Ram SRT10 owner is going to do burnout after burnout and with the help of some friends, he is going to do it all on video.
This is a Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab, which means that it has the Viper V10 engine mated to an automatic transmission. Those weren’t the quickest of the Viper-powered Ram trucks, but all of that torque going through the self-shifting transmission makes the SRT10 pickup one wicked tire slayer. Over the course of this two minute video, the owner of this 600hp Ram does 7 burnouts, but I think the first and the last are the best.
The purr of the Viper V10 engine makes this Ram SRT10 burnout video even better so crank up your speakers and enjoy more than two minutes of nasty Dodge truck burnouts.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
