This is probably the only time you’ll ever see video of a Honda SUV on BangShift, unless it is under the wheels of a monster truck, being blasted by a machine gun, melted by a jet car, or falling off a lift and squashing another Honda, like the one in this clip is. Mechanics arrived [...]

Posted in CRASH & BURN March 21, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Dale Emery’s backside darkened the seats of an amazing array of drag race cars during his long and storied career. The Texan drove everything from the Pure Hell fuel altered to slingshot fuel dragsters, and ultimately a pile of nitro floppers. Obviously, not every run in his career ended well, but we’d say that none [...]

Here’s a video that shows how one can go from hero to bone crushing failure in about half a second. In the film, you’ll see a snowmobile launch off to skip across a creek somewhere out in the wilderness. Obviously another rider has made this trip as you can see a rut in the snow [...]
Video Bonanza: When the Wheels Literally Fall Off
Posted in CRASH & BURN March 10, 2011 by Brian Lohnes

Of all the types of failures race cars and high performance cars in general can have, losing the wheels ranks pretty high up on the list. We’ve seen race cars sheer off wheel studs and send tires off into the wilderness, there are instances of people forgetting to tighten, or even install lug nuts, and [...]

Drag Race Carnage Video: A Flying Camaro Wipes Out a Camera Platform at a Strip in Kuwait
Posted in CRASH & BURN March 8, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
There’s lots of reasons why race tracks do not have top end spectator bridges or fixed, overhanging camera stands at the finish line anymore like they used to. This video illustrates just about all of them at one time. An out of control Camaro climbs the barrier wall on the side of the Salem Al-Sabah [...]

This video will have you cringing and wincing all the way through. It is an amazing collection of racing crashes from the earliest days of motorized competition through the 1950s. For many years, really just up until modern times, death and racing were words that fell together like peanut butter and jelly. Huge percentages of [...]

THIS VIDEO IS NOT WORK SAFE, THERE IS SWEARING A-PLENTY! Having told you that, we’ll move onto the true meat of this video. A GM truck ended up in a frozen lake, boobs up somehow. In order to remove the truck from it’s current watery grave, people enlisted the help of what we think is [...]
Splosion Video: A Mud Bogging Lincoln Trar Literally Grenades a Transmission
Posted in CRASH & BURN March 2, 2011 by Brian Lohnes

Transmissions really bear the brunt of a lot of automotive abuse. Mud bogging may be one of the harshest environs for a slush box to operate in. This video proves that statement in a damned graphic manner. It featured a large Lincoln bodied trar attempting to slog though a pretty deep mud pit. After making [...]

Jay Upton is a Top Fuel motorcycle rider down in Australia. He rides a wild 1500cc Honda machine that wears a totally streamlined body. It is one fearsome looking rig, especially when under power and shooting a jet of flame out of the up swept exhaust right behind his seat. This video shows he and [...]

We’ve been to and competed at more than a couple autocross events during our time as amateur stunt drivers. None of those events have presented a competitor with the option of smashing his car into a tree. This video will prove that some venues do offer that opportunity. This video shows a dude in a [...]

Wreckage Video: How Drag Racing Your Truck Across a Meadow Can End Really Bad
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 8, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
High speed antics with friends are best left to the drag strip, especially the paved drag strip. This video shows why driving full tilt across a field in a drag race with your buddy ain’t the best thing, especially if you decide to monkey around when approaching terminal velocity. There are about two dozen things [...]
Wreckage Video: Two Cars Tangle Badly at the Top End of the Strip

This is a very violent wreck that illustrates some of the dangers that lurk at tracks which are not constructed to modern safety standards. When this pair of four second, eighth-mile door slammers careened down the strip, everything looked ok. The major trouble in this video starts when the cars enter the shut down area. [...]
