One of the great benefits of drag racing in New England is the fall weather. Cool air and moderate temperatures create situations where motors can be set on kill and the track hooks like it is coated in velcro. Racer Jason Calderon found out how true those words can be at a recent event at [...]
We had no idea what to expect when we headed north with two of our photographer buddies to cover the 2010 Goldenchild Nationals, an eighth-mile snowmobile drag race held on a frozen lake in Vermont. It blew our mental doors off. We also froze our gearhead asses off, but that was a small price to [...]
This weekend was the 2010 Mooneyes Christmas Party which is held every December at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale. We have been going to this show for the past couple of years, but were hit with really bad weather last December and had to wait until July for the event to be completed. Not so this [...]
December means more than car parts under the tree for Southern California residents, it also means it’s time for the John Force Racing Holiday Car Show and Toy Drive 2010. Yorba Linda, home to John Force Racing, is packed with traffic control officers, hot rods, and race cars of all kinds in preparation for the [...]
The 2010 Houston Autorama went down last weekend and Charles Wickam was there to snap more than 600 photos of the humongous affair. There are so many photos from the Houston Autorama that we busted them into two galleries. This is the second collection of nearly 300 photos. The Houston Autorama is a part of [...]
The 2010 Houston Autorama went down last weekend and Charles Wickam was there to snap more than 600 photos of the humongous affair. There are so many photos from the Houston Autorama that we’re busting them into two galleries and spreading the love over two days. Indoor show season is officially here! The Houston Autorama [...]
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 [...]
