Video: Drag Car hits wall, comes apart, and almost takes out the camera man.

Sean Melton, one of our loyal BangShift Forum members, sent us a link to video that he shot at Immokalee Dragstrip in January of 2010. The video is pretty crazy to watch as Sean found himself watching a crash unfold right before his eyes. In fact, it got so close that Sean jumped the fence [...]
Video: More Aussie fun at the 2010 Spring Nationals in Victoria
Posted in CRASH & BURN December 1, 2010 by Chad Reynolds
> >
While most of us are bundling up for a cold Fall season, our friends down under are enjoying Spring which means the 18th Annual Spring Nationals in Melbourne Victoria. And when we think Spring Nationals and Aussies, we think big boy burnouts. The videos we have for you this time show a Ford Ute, otherwise [...]
Horrifying Video: The Creepiest Crash Video We’ve Ever Seen
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 30, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This is the most breathtaking crash video we have ever seen. Featuring a massive truck in a mud bog, somewhere down south we’re guessing, it looks like the driver is dead a couple of times. Turns out he isn’t but by all rights he should be. Anyone who lives through this probably takes stock of [...]
Insane Wreck Video: The First Doorslammer Blow Over We Have Ever Seen
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 26, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Mention the term “blow over” to any drag racing fan and visions of Top Fuel dragsters flying through the air upside down fill their heads. After watching this video, that vision may be edited to add Ford Mustangs. In one of the most unbelievable pieces of footage we have ever seen, a Mustang actually catches [...]
Dummy Video: A Dirt Path Is Not a Drag Strip
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 24, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’ve long been of the opinion that street racing is dumb. Racing on public streets where innocent people and bystanders can be hurt isn’t smart. Because of this video we found, we now have to add a caveat to our opinion. Street racing on dirt paths behind garages in the countryside is also dumb. The [...]
Crazy Wreck Video: Guy Crashes Go Kart Into the Christmas Tree at Kinston Drag Strip
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 24, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This video is freaking nuts. Shot at Kinston Dragstrip in North Carolina, it features a guy launching what appears to be a hot rodded go kart. This baby doesn’t look to be at the legendary “Gixxer Kart” level but it has plenty of snot. You’ll see it leave, wheels-up, accelerating very hard. Milliseconds later it [...]
Harley Show Off Fail Video: Best Surprise Ending Ever
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 15, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
People never learn, plain and simple. We’ll say it slowly, but no one will listen. If you own a race car, racing motorcycle, racing mini-bike, racing anything, do not ever put it on a public street to show off. Nothing, and we mean nothing good can come of it. Time and time again videos and [...]
Incredible Wreck Video: In Car With Danny Thompson When His Mustang Flies at 260mph!
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 11, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This is some amazing footage. We’re riding along with Danny Thompson in his Mustang as he hauls the mail down the Bonneville Salt Flats. Things are going along really well until he crests 260mph. At that point, the Ford Mustang pretends that it is a P-51 Mustang and the landing really sucks. You’ll know it [...]
Dyno Video: Everything Was Fine Until He Hit the Gas
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 8, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This dyno video starts with lots of promise. Seeing what looks to be a Pro Mod style car with twin turbos bolted to the front of it guarantees some type of entertainment. There’s lots of footage of the car idling, and it sounds nice burbling away on the rollers. The problems begin when the dyno [...]
Crash Test Video: A Lamborghini Diablo Gets Totally Pummeled
Posted in CRASH & BURN November 2, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
All cars get crash tested, even the exotic Italian ones. This crash testing video of a Lamborghini Diablo probably represents the most fun the dudes at the crash lab have in their lives. The car gets absolutely destroyed in the process. We’re sure a dude in a lab coat is gleefully pushing a red button [...]
Video: The Winged Express pulls off its craziest burnout yet!
Posted in CRASH & BURN October 25, 2010 by Chad Reynolds
> >
Wild Willie Borsch and his famed Winged Express Fuel Altered were always known for smokey, sidewall deflecting, sideways burnouts, so it’s only fitting that the legend continues today. At this years 19th NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion, BangShift.com was lucky enough to bring the Winged Express and all its antics to you live. For those [...]
More Diesel Death Video: A Land Rover Smoke Machine
Posted in CRASH & BURN October 21, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

We can’t help ourselves. After seeing the Toyota van run itself to death we kept on searching for videos and found one featuring a Land Rover that had just been started for the first time after a restoration. Let’s just say that the party was short lived as the engine immediately began to run out [...]
Not Green: A Runaway Toyota Diesel Dies In a Massive Cloud of Smoke
Posted in CRASH & BURN October 21, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The runaway diesel engine is an interesting thing. The condition can be brought on by a number of factors. In this case it was apparently caused by overfilling the engine with oil. With no throttle to vary engine speed and a motor literally consuming its own oil, death is imminent. This poor van’s engine most [...]
Truck Smash Video: A Crazed, Violent, Truck Demo Derby From Utah
Posted in CRASH & BURN October 19, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We thought there were laws against stuff like this! This demo derby, which happened in Delta, Utah, featured trucks. Not little weenie trucks, but large half and three-quarter ton jobs. There’s a bad ass Suburban thrown in the mix as well. The hits are major league, especially the finale at about 1:10 into the film. [...]
Wild Video: The 2010 World Power Wheel Standing Championship From Byron Dragway

The 16th annual World Power Wheel Standing Championship is in the books. The brain child of Byron Dragway owner/operator Ron Leek, the contest has grown from small freak show to massive drag racing event, replete with television coverage and blown out grandstands. This year’s contest had a purse of $60,000, more then enough to encourage [...]

The 2010 Shakedown at E-Town produced a raft of amazing performances as well as some truly scary wreckage. The most major crash involved Benny Alphonso who was on a solo run and impacted the wall at top speed passing through the traps at the top end of the track. The last report we heard had [...]
