Real Live Horse Takes On Camaro In Off-Road Drag Race

As major drag racing fans and people who make it their business to look into everything that has to do with drag racing, we have definitely seen a lot of unique matchups. With people building all sorts of sleepers in different types of vehicles, we thought that we had seen it all. From a Cadillac Escalade that is able haul the mail with the fastest of today’s modern sports cars all the way to a golf cart that certainly provides no shortage of excitement, it really seemed like we left no stone unturned in exploring every last corner of the drag racing universe.

However, to our surprise, while stumbling along through our Facebook newsfeeds, we have discovered that we were, in fact, wrong. Now, this seems to be something that even the most fierce of drag racing enthusiasts would have never seen coming, even miles away. The battle is unlike any that we have ever seen before as the racers behind this one took the liberty of taking a vehicle in a Chevrolet Camaro and taking into an off-road drag racing course where it would go up against the purest form of horsepower that there is in, well, an actual horse!

If you follow along in the video below, you’ll be able to witness this animal versus machine battle that actually ends up being a lot closer than you would expect. We’re pretty surprised that the living, breathing horse was able to keep pace with the mechanical machine and do so with a vengeance. Now that we have seen this, we’re absolutely dying to see more. I’m not sure how many other people have decided to put a car up against a horse in a race but this is definitely a genre of racing that we could see ourselves watching more of.
