As our weekly Black Friday segment goes, this week’s video doesn’t offer quite as much thick, black diesel soot as many of the Cummins powered Rams that we typically feature but the burnout performed by this 3rd gen Ram Heavy Duty is just too awesome to pass up. I originally found this nasty Cummins Ram burnout video while hunting for a Tire Shredding Tuesday clip but with the copious amounts of soot at the beginning of the video followed by an absolutely awesome burnout – this is a piece that we had to feature on Black Friday.
As an interesting note, the 3rd generation Cummins Ram doing to massive smokey burnout in the video below is fitted with a manual transmission and the driver starts in 4th gear (talk about monster torque!) to ensure the best possible attempt at a long, rolling burnout. I would say that the owner succeeded as this is surely one of the biggest, smokiest burnouts Ive seen online so crank up your speakers and enjoy this video of a Cummins Turbo Diesel Ram obliterating the rear tires.
"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.
