A Chevrolet S10, a few Camaros and a few imports with GM V8s flex their muscles in some fantastic dig racing action.
This week’s featured Kill Stories video showcases a wide variety of Chevrolet performance vehicles showing off their ability to get down on the street. This video was originally shared to the forum in a thread by KFC_Or_Bust from the YouTube channel that shares that screen name. This ten-minute video is jam-packed with a plethora of boosted LS-powered vehicles.
The Competitors
During the course of this ten-minute video, we get to watch a great many vehicles participate in some high-powered dig racing somewhere in Mexico. There are too many competitors for us to list them all here, but before each race, the information on the vehicles is displayed above them.
For example, the first race on the video pits a 5th gen Chevrolet Camaro with an LSA supercharged V8, a TH400 transmission and 700 wheel horsepower against a Chevy S10 pickup with a blown and bottled 5.3L V8 (as shown above) – with the pickup taking the win.
Other key competitors include a 2nd gen Camaro with an LS2 and four turbochargers from an EcoBoost engine (known as the Junkyard Bugatti), a 1967 Camaro with a 408 LSX, a Nissan with a supercharged 5.3L GM V8, a bottled 2nd gen, a big block square-body Chevy truck, an RX7 with a small block Chevy V8 and a whole bunch of Ford Mustangs.
The Action
Each race in this video begins with a burnout and a look at the starting line as the two vehicles leave. As they race away, the footage switches to a camera on the top end of the track so that we can get a good look at who crosses the finish line first. Each run has vehicle introductions and in the event of a close race, slow motion views of the finish line.
The racing action in this video is great, so if you are looking to kill ten minutes today, grab a drink, crank up your speakers and enjoy this Chevy-heavy street racing video.
"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.
