This F-350 puts together a great collection of burnouts, but the drone footage makes the smoke show even more impressive.
This week’s “Tire Smokin’ Tuesday” video comes to us from the YouTube channel of William Boom and it features a 3rd generation Ford F-350 Super Duty smoking its huge rear tires. There are no details on this F-Series pickup, but we can tell by looking at it that it is powered by the 6.7L PowerStroke V8. The ease with which it smokes the aftermarket wheels and tires, coupled with the thick, black smoke pouring from the exhaust suggests that this big Ford is making more than stock power. Also, the ride height looks a bit taller than stock, so it seems likely that this Super Duty has aftermarket suspension, wheels, tires, and some engine upgrades–all of which allow it to do some awesome burnouts.
‘Farmer Pete’ in Action
We don’t know who “Farmer Pete” is, but he and his F-350 know how to put on a great smoke show. The video begins with a pair of rolling burnouts filmed from ground level, the second of which turns into a smoky donut. At that point, the footage switches to drone-view and the burnout action is accompanied by some music which really doesn’t fit for a burnout video, but the tire slaying action isn’t hindered by the odd music choice.
Over the course of the final minute of this video, the high-riding F-350 creates tons of tire smoke, and several sets of dark, black lines on the road. From time to time, the white tire smoke is joined by some diesel soot and it is all artfully captured from a birds-eye view.
The video ends with the Ford F-350 Super Duty racing off into the sunset as Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again plays in the background.
"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.
