Our friends over at Drag Racing Online added something to [...]
(Photos by Joe Grippo) – Joe Grippo appreciates cool iron of all shapes, sizes, and brand identity, but we know he’s a Ford loving dude deep down. There were lots of Cobra Jets on the grounds at Maple Grove last weekend as we showed you yesterday but there was even more classic Ford iron running [...]
(Photos by Joe Grippo) – Yesterday we showed you a gallery that featured just COPO Camaros and Mustang Cobra Jets. We got some hate mail from the Mopar crowd that we didn’t put the Drag Pack Challengers in there but we saved them for today. This is a gallery featuring only Mopar products that competed [...]

Indy is one of the most iconic dragstrips in the country, and when the NMCA rolled in for the LSX Shootout and World Street Finals this past weekend, the place was packed with bitchin big and small tire cars of all kinds. Brian Wagner was on hand helping out with a couple teams, and also [...]

We should have dubbed this “Week of the Drags” here at BangShift because we’ve had so much great coverage from the Koninentals Day of the Drags event this week, and we’re not done yet! Chris Graves with Max Cackle Photos, who send us super sexy race shots all the time, just sent another cool collection [...]
(Words and Photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) - Don’t be fooled by the title of this event—it’s not just a standard bracket race.

(Words and Photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – This past weekend, a couple of events in North Georgia kept Tommy Lee Byrd busy, as he pulled a double shift with two great drag racing events.

These dudes are nuts. I mean we love watching wheelstands, and nothing is more fun than driving a car that pulls the wheels hard, but given the incredible wheelstand it takes to win the Byron World Power Wheelstanding Championships, you have got to have no fear or destroying your race car. We haven’t been there [...]
