There’s not much like a good old fashioned farm tractor pull to satisfy your gearhead soul. It is the most basic form of mechanical competition on Earth and it is the internally combusted evolution of the horse and oxen team pulling contests farmers have been competing in for hundreds of years. Yes, there are more [...]

So, the Monday before the Long Beach Grand Prix our guy Jimi Day, with Optima Batteries, calls and says “Hey bud, Optima is a sponsor of the World Challenge Series and I have some credentials for the Long Beach Grand Prix if you, Daphne and the kids want to come down and hang out.” My [...]

(Photos by Hotchkis Sport Suspension) – While rain certainly did its best to dampen the drag strip action at last weekend’s Mopars at the Strip event in Las Vegas, the Hotchkis autocross was a hive of activity. As one would expect, there were Mopars a-plenty but now that the event has been opened up to [...]

(Photos by Charles Wickam) – Last weekend, the ever intrepid Charles Wickam went to Battleground Speedway in Texas to take in some of the wildest four wheeled machines in the world, winged sprint cars. These direct drive, alky burning, V8 beasts hook to dirt tracks so hard and pull so hard out of corners that [...]

(Photos by Doug Garrison) – While lots of guys like to ring the “eBay killed the swap meet” bell, we’re not 100% buying it yet. Between the swap we hit in Connecticut and this gallery of photos from the 2012 Maple Grove Spring Swap Meet, out faith in the good ol’ swap meet remains strong. [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – The great photos keep on coming from the 2012 Run to the Shore. This time we’re focused on the “Start Stop Squared” event which was held to cap off the event on Saturday afternoon. If you are familiar with SCCA Pro Solo, than you know what the magic is here. [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – While the NJ Motorsports Park road course gave the participants in the 2012 Run to the Shore some high speed thrills, it was the autocross that truly tested the agility and mettle of their cars. The course was laid out by members of the SCCA’s south New Jersey region and [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – We had a ball at the 2012 Run to the Shore Pro Touring event last weekend in New Jersey. We had a great crowd tune in for our live broadcast which highlighted the autocross and totally bitchin’ speed stop squared events. While the video camera was rolling on that stuff, [...]

We’re here at the 2012 American Street Car Series Run to the Shore event in New Jersey. Some of the region’s coolest Pro Touring cars are getting prepared to hit the autocross and the road course tomorrow at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Vineland. As expected, we’ve seen some totally bitchin’ iron already and there’s [...]

(Photos by Khan Media) – One of the coolest aspects of working for a company that designs and builds high performance suspension systems is the fact that those components need to be tested and sorted out. That means track time, baby! Each year, the team and Hotchkis hits the track to develop new ideas and [...]

We told you we would be bringing you more Pro Touring action in 2012, and it starts tomorrow! Black Ink Media and No Limit Engineering have brought together a killer cast of characters, including our own Chad Reynolds on the mic, for a fun day of racing action at Adams Motorsports Park in Riverside California [...]

When BangShift reader Eric contacted the home office and asked if we would be interested in a load of photos from the 2012 Keystone National truck and tractor pull held in Harrisburg, PA we jumped at the chance. There’s nothing neater than the wretched horsepower excesses of this sport and when you add all that [...]

(Photos by Elana Scherr) – The rave reviews and fun stories continue to come in from last weekend’s “Run to the Coast” pro touring event, held at the old El Toro Air Base in California.
