Methanol makes for one hell of a race fuel. Engines can make big power and run cooler, the fuel works as a natural intercooler for boosted applications, and in naturally aspirated mills, you can run compression galore with far less chance of detonation. There are a couple drawbacks though and one of them is the [...]
This video is from the Targa Tasmania, a race three times as wild as the name would suggest. You’ll see what happens when a codriver and driver lose communication for only just a half a second. This car gets some serious hang time, and the landing is not pillow soft. Make sure to wait for [...]
We are all used to seeing Trophy Trucks flying over whoops, and throwing big rooster tails of dust as they haul ass through Baja for the San Felipe 250, Baja 500, or Baja 1000. And we’re used to seeing the booby traps and crazy stunts that fans will perform in order to either crash vehicles [...]
We’ve showed you some off the wall crashes from the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series before but this is the capper. Racers Casey Currie amd RJ Anderson get into one another while flying through the air in their trucks and land with violent consequences. Trucks tumble, endo, and eventually end up on top of [...]
Les Mayhew, the dude who creates all of the totally awesome NitroAmerica videos has begun to release some of this footage from the 2013 March Meet. His first video from the race is a look at Wayne Mellinger’s scary wall slapping hit during the qualifying of nostalgia nitro funny cars on Saturday. Wayne and the [...]
This is a wild video that we found taken in-car at a Polish rally. It is obviously not recent because the trees are green and the weather seems to indicate that is isn’t winter time. Rally wreck videos are always crazy because you never know what the car is going to smash into. Maybe it [...]
When this happened right before our eyes during our LIVE broadcast of the 2013 March Meet at Famoso’s famed Auto Club Famoso Raceway, we couldn’t believe our eyes. It’s not that we hadn’t seen cars do such big wheelstands that they got all four wheels off the ground, but the fact that it was a [...]
The boys on the crew of the Mr Boston nostalgia top fuel car had a rough go of it in Bakersfield last weekend. The car never did what they wanted it to do and ultimately they suffered a major league blower explosion that put a monkey wrench in their works. This video is cool because [...]
While we were at the March Meet, some drag racing history was being made down in Rockingham, North Carolina. This was the first race of the new Kenny Nowling era of ADRL drag racing. By all accounts the track had a solid crowd and the racing was good. An inescapable fact with respect to big [...]
We are fully addicted to the “Where They Raced” video series now. Episode 3 is a two parter, and here is Part 1 for you to enjoy. Not only do we enjoy the hell out of each one, but we learn stuff too! This episode talks all about the Santa Monica Road Races, which happened [...]
So as you can see by the lead photo, I’m not stretching the truth when I tell you that the tractor in this video (a mid-1960s Farmall 1206) is literally broken in half by the end of this video. The culprit? A flywheel explosion that is bizarre in its own right. As you will see, [...]
One of the wildest motorsports in the world is jetsprint boat racing. These tiny boats have two guys in them, engines that make nearly 1,000hp and they run around what is essentially an aquatic autocross course. They accelerate, turn, and move like nothing else on Earth. These are boats with freaking roll cages. Read that [...]
This is one of the more death-defying top end incidents that we’ve ever seen. In one lane is the bonafide six second Rafaelito Mazda RX-8 that’s powered by a turbocharged 13B rotary engine and in the other lane is a fourth gen Camaro with a pair of mondo turbos mounted front and center in the [...]
The Saudis take car stunts to new levels, and we’ve all seen them driving down highways on two wheels with dudes changing seats, climbing onto running boards, and all kinds of antics. But this is the first time we’ve seen them try to change a tire on what appears to be a Toyota SUV, while [...]
This is easily the craziest drag racing video we have seen in a very long time. The footage comes from the YouTube channel of ProLine Racing Engines and it features racer Jere Etheridge and his Mustang literally taking flight at the end of a run. It is amazing how long this thing stays standing in [...]
This has to be one of the most brutal truck jump landings since Travis Pastrana thought that backflipping a monster truck would be just like doing it on a motorcyle. Dumb ass. Anyway, despite sticking the landing, and then going for some incredible style points, including the arm out the window holding the door frame [...]
