The Dodge Ram SRT10 was without question one of the coolest pickup trucks of all time. While we frequently feature the Viper powered Ram 1500 for our Truckin Fast Wednesday segment – this week’s video is special. It is not just one Ram SRT10 roaring down the quarter mile but instead, it is a longer video featuring a bunch of different V10 pickups in action ranging from what appears to be fully stock trucks to obviously modded Rams.
After the first minute or so of plugs for various businesses and websites, the videographer spends some time walking around the trucks about to take to the track before opening with a Ram versus Ram battle. The video continues this way throughout with garage area and staging lane clips of the trucks at rest of being worked on followed by quarter mile runs against other Ram SRT10 pickups and some other Dodge products including a Magnum and a newer Charger R/T. My personal favorite truck in this video is the Ram RCSB (shown above) that has some work done to bang through the gears to the tune of the 11.70 range.
Best of all, the video ends with the super quick red Ram SRT10 RCSB in action against a Ford SVT Lightning F150 that amounts to a serious beating for the blown Ford. The music is a bit on the lame side but the video footage is worth the watch so grab a drink and a snack…turn up your speakers to hear the trucks in action and enjoy!
"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.
