Pro-Drifter Chelsea DeNofa Slides His Tuned Dodge Ram Diesel Truck

How sideways can DeNofa get wheeling his tow rig Ram Diesel?

Drifting is one of the best ways to burn off a set of old tires. It’s also a fun way to spend an afternoon in an empty wet or snowy parking lot. And real drift professionals can slide just about anything with wheels, from a go-kart up to a semi-truck.

Chelsea DeNofa Ram Diesel Drift

The ability to slide and control a car at speed is a skill that’s earned through hours of going sideways.

In this video, professional drifter Chelsea DeNofa heads out to Pat’s Acres Racing Complex to drive some go-karts. Being in the Pacific Northwest, it’s no surprise the track was a bit wet. In an effort to dry out the track, Chelsea grabs his tow rig, a Dodge Ram EcoDiesel, and drifts it around.

His truck is much like his drift car: It’s far from stock. He has an RK Tunes ECU tune and a Bully Dog tuner stacked. It has a 3.5-inch exhaust, which has an intake on the other end of the engine to match. The fun begins after Chelsea figures out how to pull the ABS fuse in order to turn off the factory stability control.

We’re pretty sure this is the most fun someone can have in a full-size truck, aside from doing large jumps. And because the track surface is wet you could drift all day without burning up your tires. Chelsea’s ability to control the larger Ram truck is impressive.

Let us know if you’ve ever taken your truck drifting in the comments.
