For the first time in the history of the event The Hot Rod Revolution was held in Austin, Texas this year. After gaining a great reputation in Southern California, event organizers decided to switch it up and the results were a spectacular show in Texas. Charles Wickam was on hand for BangShift to shoot photos [...]
Now we’re just rubbing it in. The Goodguys 21st annual Autumn Get Together went down November 13-14 and since there was an autocross as part of the event, our man Chad was there as the announcer. We duct tape a camera to his hand and send him around the show during lunch break to blast [...]
While junk weather and cold temperatures have ended car show season in most parts of the country, hot rodders in California are still having fun every weekend. We recently attended the first Surf City Beach Cruise held on the city beach in Huntington Beach, CA. The show drew a great mix and variety of cars [...]
As we finally begin to run out of photos and stuff related to the 2010 SEMA show, we thought that showing you the underbelly of the experience was necessary. For every totally bitchin’ car at the show, there are five that’ll make your stomach flop. For every cool product there is 10 totally horrendous pieces [...]
Since you’ve just checked out the gallery dedicated to the residents at Fleming’s Auto Parts in Egg Harbor, NJ, we thought that we should show you the other 250 photos from the 2010 Pumpkin Run car show. This monster of a fall show pulls more than 2,000 cars, trucks, vans, hot rods, rat rods, tractors, [...]
Intrepid BangShift photo contributor Joe Grippo recently attended the infamous Pumpkin Run car show which takes place in the totally awesome Fleming’s Junkyard located in Egg Harbor, NJ. He shot a ton of photos of the show, but he also took the time to roam the rotting junkyard and document the contents. You’ll not find [...]
One of the neater parts of the whole SEMA experience is watching the myriad of cars, trucks, race vehicles, hot rods, kustoms, and other SEMA show vehicles pour out of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the close of the show on Friday. Hell, monster trucks are driving, unaided, down public roads. We took up [...]
Lots of serious business goes down at the SEMA show every year. Hell, we conducted some of our own. That being said, by the end of the week virtually everyone is looped out on a lack of sleep, overload of automotive conversation, or products designed to combat the lack of sleep. We still have loads [...]
We’re here, we’re working, and we’re reveling on what looks to be a mighty good 2010 SEMA show. Everyone who is everyone is here at SEMA 2010, there are new parts and cars galore, and on top of all that, there is the sheer vastness of the convention center here in Las Vegas. We’ll continue [...]
The 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas officially opens today, and after weeks of preparation and setup, the top manufacturers in the industry are ready to show off the latest and greatest the automotive aftermarket has to offer. Typically the Monday night before the SEMA show opens is a chance for folks to get into [...]
2010 marks the 17th running of the Good Guys Southeastern Nationals, and since we were going to be there announcing the Good Guys Street Challenge Autocross, we decided to bring you a gallery of photos as well. Held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, this show featured 3500 hot rods, street rods, muscle cars, and street machines [...]
Detroit Speed’s Open House and BBQ is a must attend event each year during the Good Guys South Eastern Nationals. Since we were at Charlotte Motor Speedway to announce the Good Guys Street Challenge Autocross, and we wanted to see Dale Jr’s Camaro in person, we decided we would head over for some good BBQ, [...]
The Shelby American Automobile Club holds shows all over the country and the world, but when they decided to hold a “Mini Meet” at the site of the 2010 AACA Hershey Show, Joe Grippo couldn’t stay away. From perfect Cobra restorations to unrestored and perfectly patinad GT350s, this show had it all. And for those [...]
As BangShifter Joe Grippo put it, the 2010 AACA Car Show in Hershey Pennsylvania is one of the most eclectic and diverse car shows around. From Hemi ‘Cudas to Duesenbergs, you’ll see it all in our galleries. How about a gasser Mustang for those of you who like to see hacked Ford quarter panels? And [...]
We’ve been semi-regular visitors to the Mass Cruisers humongous car show that runs on a bi-weekly schedule at the Bass Pro Shops store in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Most recently, after a harrowing day of mid-Autumn weather, we were certain that no one was showing up. Luckily for us, we were wrong and a few hundred diehards [...]
If you saw our live broadcast of all the racing action at the 19th Annual NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion presented by Auto Club of Southern California, and Justice Brothers, you know that Nostalgia Drag Racing is alive and well. And while watching Top Fuel and Funny Cars run is an amazing blow to the [...]
