On paper, drag racing full-size trucks doesn’t make much sense, but we don’t race on paper and I LOVE drag racing trucks. The RedRum OBS Chevy pickup is one bad ass ride and we dig it. This thing is not only quick as hell but also as clean as they come. This is a killer ride for sure. A six second ride as a matter of fact, and we’re talking quarter mile racing here. This one was at World Cup Finals, where it would run the quarter for the first time ever, and show just how good the track was when it climbed up in the air under power and ultimate hopped all four wheels off the ground. Fun to watch!
Check it out.

Who doesn’t love a full size race truck? Red Rum just might be THE MOST badass full size race truck we have ever seen. Believe it or not, World Cup Finals was the very first time this truck ran in the quarter mile! Not only that, it ran 6’s! Absolutely insane to watch this truck battle with vehicles that LOOK much faster, but in reality just aren’t! The cherry on top, as you can tell from the thumbnail, is that it popped one of the NASTIEST wheelies we have ever seen! Yes, a full size truck got all 4 wheels on the ground!
Phil Bonner’s “Georgia Peach” Ford Falcon would pull all four wheels off the ground at the drop of the clutch, three wheels on the 1-2 shift, and pull the fronts on the 2-3 shift. Modern cars ar blindingly fast, but not nearly as exciting as the old ones…
