Ram Parada Breaks Record - Ram Dealer NY - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Ram announced that they wanted to break some records to coincide with the Academy of Country Music.  That record being the largest parade of Ram trucks.  They put out the call and needed 451 truck drivers to show up.  And show up they did, helping Ram to break the record.

“Our hard-working Ram truck owners are passionate and loyal, and today they proved once again that everything is always bigger in Texas,” said Roberto Hegbloom, The President and CEO of Ram Truck Brand.

The drivers who signed up to participate in the event weren’t there just to break records.  As a thank-you for those who helped the truck company break the record, they were given numerous treats.  They were fed and given the chance to see the Raminator monster truck as well as the driver.  Also included in the ticket price for the parade was an invite to the ACM Party for a Cause Festival where they could enjoy live music.

“Ram is the fastest growing truck brand in Texas, where trucks are king, and it was great to see 451 Ram owners travel far and wide for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of a special recording-breaking rally and pickup parade.”

Wonder how many trucks Ram will want to have next year to break the record.  A part of me hopes they simply raise it by one truck every year.

Raminator Monster Truck Sets Speed Record!

A Ram truck is not what one would consider fast in comparison to other vehicles in the Chrysler family.  The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is already pushing 707 horsepower.  Yet a Ram truck broke a speed record.  It was the record for Monster Trucks.

The Raminator is a monster truck sponsored by Ram.  It now holds the record for the Fastest Speed for a Monter Truck at Circuit of the Americas located in Austin, Texas.  The speed it hit that got its name in the record books is 99.10 miles per hour!  I can’t even image what that looked like.  I can’t even picture a monster truck hitting that speed.

The previous record was 96.8 mph.  It is a question of just how fast can one get such monstrosities to go.  I feel like that is plenty fast enough, but records are made to be broken.  So maybe in the future, either near or far, we’ll see a monster truck racing down the circuit at over a hundred miles per hour.

Mark Hall was the driver of the Raminator.  He’s been named the Monster Truck Racing Association’s “Driver of the Year” nine times.  He said about the achievement, “Taking on the challenge of breaking a world record has been an experience we will never forget.  With the support of Ram and Mopar, we continue to add to our achievements and are honored to now be a Guinness World Records holder.”
