If this isn’t a video documenting every possible wrong, misguided, and potentially lethal thing to do with a project car in your shop we don’t know what is. Basically, a 23-year old kid is building a project drift car. He’s never done anything like this before and in this video he has the motor mocked [...]
In racing, no driver ever wants to come up short. This is especially true in Swedish Formula Off Road competition and these two videos below explain why. See, if you come up short in Formula Off Road like these guys, you end up flipping end over end (one truck does it stylishly backwards while the [...]
If this video doesn’t make you cringe or gasp in horror, you’ve got ice water in your veins because we did both the first time we watched it. We’re not sure what country it was filmed in, but judging by the cars, this seems to be in Europe somewhere. As you’ll see this video starts [...]
One of my favorite cars at the ECTA’s season opening meet at the famed Ohio Mile in Wilmington was the belly tank lakester of Ron San Giovanni. Powered by a flathead V8 that appears to be wearing a hat which looks very similar to an 8-71 blower, it sounds the business and can wick up [...]
Every year while we are standing up on the scaffolding bringing you all the LIVE March Meet racing action you can handle, Les Mayhew is running around getting sexy shots and killer video that he puts together into what we believe is the finest nostalgia drag racing videos you will find anywhere. His March Meet [...]
OH MY GOD!!!! This is awesome. If it wasn’t cell phone video it would be slightly cooler, but only a little. Take two dudes, one Ford truck, copious amounts of gumption, and some ingenuity, and this is what happens. They send the Ford on a trip without driver and it becomes the world’s largest lawn [...]
This is a pretty amazing video. It was shot in 1970 at the Adenauer Forest section of Germany’s famed Nurburgring and it features a non-stop reel of amateur drivers wrecking their vintage junk in one series of turns. To say some of these crashes are horrifying would be the understatement of the week. The ‘Ring [...]
Call me names if you want but drag boat racing terrifies me. I’d sooner sit in the co-driver seat of a World Rally Car hurtling through the Finnish woods than I would strap myself into a high horsepower drag boat. This video is further proof of the sanity these racers are lacking. Lloyd Bell is [...]
The other day I had a long conversation with a highly respected friend about the proliferation of drag racing around the world and just how many drag strips there are dotting the far corners of this globe. Fact is, a “drag strip” can be ready made just about anywhere. It doesn’t need to be zMax [...]
Joe Grippo, the dude who normally shares awesome photos with us here dropped this nugget of absolute BangShift insane perfection onto my Facebook page a couple of days back. What you are about to watch is an attempt at setting the world’s record for the longest big rig jump. Let’s just say that it ends [...]
Wanton destruction is largely pointless but always hilarious in our book. Take these guys over in Europe somewhere with a sad sack little VW, a logging chain, and someone ballsy enough to be the test pilot. As best we can tell, this is a new video because we pay attention to these things and frankly, [...]
Laying the hammer down while leaving a car show, the burger joint, an ice cream stand, or your parents’ driveway is part of the fun of snotty car ownership but that move isn’t without its perils. This guy found that out first hand when he attempted to do a burnout in his Mustang while leaving [...]
We had to save what may be the best snow jump ever, for last. In fact, we are certain that we have never seen a better snow jump. Which is somehow fitting since Rabbits haul ass in the snow and jump gracefully through the puffy white stuff. So does this Rabbit, although the landing is [...]
Here is definitive proof that real Rabbits, just like Bugs Bunny, really do like their holes. Of course this one comes with Redneck music that would make Elmer Fudd proud, but the entertainment value is there. The next video takes off roading a Rabbit to another level however. This one cracks me up though because [...]
It’s Easter Sunday, so what better way to celebrate the commercialization of said holiday than to further promote the Easter Bunny. Of course, we are doing so with a bit of BangShift.com flair. Yep, all Rabbits, all day long. We’ve got them jumping, smoking, going down holes, and more. It’s just like Bugs Bunny! For [...]
Yesterday we showed you down track footage of Larry Dixon’s hair raising incident from Australia where his dragster apparently sheared an axle off and proceeded to blow a full 360 in the middle of the track without hitting anything! The car was turned around in three hours and proceeded to go 4.68 in the final [...]
