F-250 probably didn’t win the burnout competition with this short outing, but it made for some good selfies.
Burnout competitions are a whole lot of fun, provided that you have something like a newer Ford F-250 that will put on a big smoke show. Unfortunately, not everyone has a tire-slaying torque monster like a new Super Duty, but in this video from the YouTube channel of Duane Tucker, an F-Series owner helps a few young women get the firsthand burnout competition experience in a way that some event organizers might frown upon.
Fortunately, we are guessing that this event didn’t have to worry about the input of an insurance company.
Modern F-250 Power
There are no details on this Ford F-250, but we can tell from the styling that is from the fourth-and-current generation, which means that it is a 2017 or newer truck. It appears to have a badge for the 6.7-liter PowerStroke dieselengine option on the door, which offered either 440 horsepower and 925 lb-ft of torque or 450 horsepower and 935 lb-ft of torque.
In either case, it packs more than enough torque to spin the beefy rear tires, offering more power than any Ford F-Series truck in the company’s history. That makes it as good of a burnout competition machine as you will find in the pickup world, even without any sort of modifications.
Burnout with Friends
According to the title, this Ford F-250 is participating in a burnout competition, but we don’t know where this event is being held. It does not appear to be particularly formal, with what appears to be steel plates laying in the grass serving as the burnout box and there is no hint of safety precautions, with orange pylons separating the spectators from the action.
The loose rules likely allowed this Super Duty driver to take a few ladies along for the fun, but rather than having them sit in the seats, they are sitting in the open windows, hanging out of the truck during the smoke show. That falls under the “don’t try this at home” category of burnout fun, but it still makes for a cool video.
In looking through the other videos from this burnout competition on the YouTube channel, we would guess that this F-250 did not win, as several vehicles smoked the tires until they exploded, but for a modern truck, it is an excellent effort. More importantly, the passengers surely enjoyed themselves 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.
