Westgate Plymouth Belvedere Makes a Quick Pass

Kyle Moran Avatar

The Belvedere is a car that was manufactured by Plymouth from 1954 to 1970. For the majority of the time it was a full size car, but changed in 1965 to a midsize.

It came with a number of engines though out the years, but some of the more coveted models came with a 426 hemi. While they aren’t considered to be the baddest Mopars on the street, they have a storied NASCAR history and are extensively used in drag racing. National Trail Raceway is an NHRA member track that began life back in 1964. The complex sits on 320 acres, and back when it was built it was the fifth largest track of its kind in the united states. It plays host to a number of very popular events every year, some of them being Night of Thunder, the Mopar Nationals, Import Face-Off, and Jegs ET Series. Drag Racing is probably one of our favorite events to go record. There is just something about being down on the burnout pad with the drag cars and the different crew members running around while the racers are staging their cars and tearing down the strip. It’s the best kind of chaos to be around because it is so coordinated. RPM Army (previously known as Wrench Moran Motorsports) has been around for several years. Here at RPM Army on YouTube we focus on local motorsports events. The goal is to provide the best local coverage of racing events in the central Ohio area. The events usually involve drag racing, tractor pulling, tough truck, off road racing, and mudding. The goal of recording the events we visit is to create shareable videos for the racers and fans of specific cars. Because of that, we usually don’t produce longer videos. Instead we create videos of single runs so the drive or crew can share it across social platforms. While our exclusive content on YouTube only covers events in the Ohio Valley area, we invite subscribers to come and visit the site or email us to share pictures and stories about your own rides so we can, in turn, share your projects with the world. If you have a cool video or anything else you feel is worth sharing navigate to the about section on the channel and drop us a line or go to www.rpmarmy.com and submit your story to the sharing section! Our videos have been featured on a number of websites and TV shows over the years. One of the more interesting projects was being a contributor to Fat ‘N Furious on the Discovery Channel over the course of two seasons. Typically the contributions were clips for their introduction for each project car.
