This week’s Tire Smokin’ feature features a fairly new Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup powered by the PowerStroke diesel engine that is doing some crazy, smokey burnouts with a nice mix of black diesel soot as a bonus.
It is unclear what modifications have been made to this F-350 and its 6.7L PowerStroke diesel engine, but I would guess that at least a few dollars have been spent to make one of America’s strongest trucks even tougher.
The burnout performed by this diesel F-350 is an unusual one with the amount of slide…as this borders on what the import crowd might call “drifting”.
After the Super Duty wiggles its way past the cameraman moving from left to right with the rear end moving away from the camera, the driver whips the end all of the way around and spins the truck to point back from whence it came.
After that, the driver does another nice smokey burnout with this diesel F-350 – packing in a little more awesomeness before the clip comes to an end.
This PowerStroke diesel F-350 sounds great as it is destroying the tires so crank up your speakers 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.
