When the first comment on a YouTube video is, “Do you like having steel balls?” you know something cool is contained in that digital footage. The fact is, anyone loony enough to (a) build a freaking go kart with a Gixxer engine on it and then (b) skilled enough to actually drive it at any [...]

The blow over is one of drag racing’s most violent and spectacular sights. While front engine sling shots have been power wheelie-ing themselves over backward for ages (see the King and Marshall caster wheel), the “blow over” as we know it seems to have been birthed with the advent of the “modern” rear engine dragster. [...]

The Hayes family is all about FE powered 4 speed racing, and we are glad to know it! Earl and Dave sent us this great video of their ’67 427 Fairlane at I-57 Dragstrip a couple weekends ago, as it’s being expertly rowed through the gears. We aren’t sure, but we think it is Earl [...]

While looking up another funny video that we will show later this week, we stumbled across this one. It’s title is Best Burnout Ever! Indoors!. Well, there isn’t much smoke, but we can’t really fault the dude for that, considering that all the tire spin is happening on polished wood floors. Yep, wood floors. Oh, [...]

There are few things more fun to watch than a well tuned vintage race car in the hands of a talented driver. This video is an example of just that as racer Craig Davies handles a 1966 Mustang GT350 like an artist with a brush during a vintage road racing event at Brands Hatch road [...]

Any Taub was competing at Atco Dragway recently in her rear engine sportsman dragster. From the looks of the dial in board, this is a very low 7-second dragster, so we can safely assume that the car runs about 200mph and that means we can also assume that by half track it is making about [...]

Hot rodders are all a little on the screwy side and when you combine that with our seemingly limitless level of need to know how powerful, fast, and otherwise performance oriented stuff is, this video makes sense…or not. Anyway, a shop owner bought a new Mustang Barbie edition Power Wheels for his kiddo and after [...]

When Mark Walter, with MotormaniaTV, sent us the link to this one on Friday after he recorded this at the X-DRL Gateway Shootout, we were mesmerized. After all, it’s not very often that you see a Top Dragster do more than a small wheelstand on launch, let alone one that drives up into a big [...]

Firstly we have to thank BangShifter Arild Guldbrandsen for the tip on this video and secondly we have to thank two tenacious mo fo’s down in Brazil who refused to let common sense, physics, and/or a fear of their creator get in the way of finishing the job. What you’ll see in this video is a [...]

There are not many old Dodge big rigs left on the road. They were pretty limited in quantity to start with an when you take into consideration time and abuse, you can see why their numbers are so small. Thankfully, at least one has been restored and converted into a big rig puller. This truck, [...]

Ulegal tearing it up means insane Australian burnout action ladies and gentlemen, although they call them skids. We still don’t get that part, but they are Australian after all so we’ll cut them some slack. If you want to see great action, click the play button below and be taken in by the 10,000 rpm [...]

Check this one out! Formula Offroad, which has to be one of the most insane kinds of racing ever, is in full swing in Norway. In this video you are going to see some of the highest flying, biggest rollover action ever on the gravel pile thanks to Bjorn Michaelsen who sent us the video. [...]

Greg Mann sent us this Content Submission saying “I know, I know, it’s a motorcycle, but it may have the best sounding engine I’ve ever heard!”, and we have to agree, it’s one bitchin powerplant. That powerplant is a Rotec Radial out of Australia, and is one super smooth torque monster that also seems to [...]

Man this is some good stuff. It’s a piece of a ’60s drag documentary called “7-Second Love Affair” that’s an awesome flick to score via DVD. If you are a late-’60s dragophile like us, it’s must-have material. This clip finds us at the legendary Lions Drag Strip with Top Fuel racer Rick Stewart suiting up [...]

Short story long, a new unofficial world record for the biggest burnout ever done has been set by 73 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour participants at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina. Previously, the Aussies have laid claim to the largest simultaneous smoker in the world but we’ve wrested the title back again (pending certification [...]

Happy National Donut Day from a couple of guys who know how to get their eat on. We also know a lot about the other kind of donuts. The tire smoke, fun in parking lots kind. Oh and the ones in the dirt too. Hmmmm, there are lots of donuts. Anyway, the guys from Chevrolet [...]
