LS3 power is on display as this Camaro puts on a pair of smoke shows.
This two-day burnout-a-thon comes to us from the YouTube channel of Joseph Proctor Jr. and it features a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS thoroughly roasting its rear tires. We get to watch as this Chevy smokes the tires first in the dark and then in the daylight, both of which are excellent examples of a proper muscle car burnout.
The Artful Burnout
Most burnout videos show nothing more than a car like a Camaro or Corvette sitting still or drifting around while smoking the rear tires. The person who made this burnout video put some time and effort into it, putting together a nicely produced 48-second film that showcases his Chevy muscle car in fine fashion.
Tire-Slaying Fun
In addition to some intro music, we get a panning look at the 2014 Camaro SS while stationary, but as the music fades away, we see the Chevy sitting on a dark, country road. As the car rolls forward, the driver kicks the clutch and gets the rear wheels spinning, quickly hitting the brakes to keep the Camaro in place while the tires smolder.
After that night time burnout, we get another panning shot of the 2014 Camaro, this time from the side, before the video jumps to the next tire-slaying fun. In this second clip, the car is sitting on a desolate country road, with unique color effects providing an old timey feel as the LS3 works with the rear tires to make a massive cloud of smoke.
In the daylight burnout clip, we can see the beautiful burnout marks on the road as the smoke clears, with the Camaro painted at least a hundred feet of black stripes on the pavement.
"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.
