The dudes that ride Top Fuel Harleys have giant stainless steel balls. Seriously, their testicles are bullet proof and you can hear them clank when they walk. Some would argue that all the cells normally reserved for your brain have moved farther south because nobody in their right mind would ride one of these beasts. [...]
In my conversations with Bill Caswell and a few other guys who have participated in desert races like the Baja 1000 and others, the subject of spectator booby traps has come up. Mostly they are mounds of sand or dirt designed to launch cars as jumps or whatnot. In this case it goes to a [...]
We were tipped off to this video by multiple BS readers were were left as slack jawed as we were once viewing it. We have no idea what the hell caused this car to hit a barrier at an amazing rate of speed and launch skyward like it is part of a movie stunt. We’ve [...]
Whoever the hell Mick Brasher is, he rules all. Every time Brian leaves town I have to run some Australian burnout video, and this one rules more than any other burnout video ever. The best part is the fact that this “event” is held in Mick’s backyard. Seriously.They have helicopter footage, on car footage and [...]
There’s been some recent discussion in our BangShift forum are about DeLorean cars. I don’t have a whole lot of good stuff to say about them, but after watching this video, I can say that they fold up magically when involved in a crash at 40mph. We’re talking budget basement Chinese economy car levels of [...]
The Ford F-150 Raptor is one bad ass truck. Having thoroughly worked one off road and even jumped in it, I can say that they’re capable of standing up to almost everything a sane person could throw at them. Then there’s the insane people. This video is one of several from the same incident that [...]
This is one of the craziest videos we have ever seen involving a top fuel dragster. Larry Dixon, who is racing both here in the USA and in Australia this year was piloting the Santo’s Cranes fuel dragster at Willowbank Raceway and appears to shear off all the wheel studs on one of the rear [...]
Yes, it is late to be posting stuff on a Friday, but frankly when we first saw this video we knew it would be something that BangShifters would want to see and we aim to please. We feel pretty bad for this chap in his newish looking Corvette Z06. He’s at the drag strip, traction [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Some videos are instant classics, this is one. Shot at Houston Motorsports Park by NitroArtVideo, it shows a fatally flawed Camaro making one hit on the starting line that results in him slapping the wall, which would probably discourage a lot of racers from running again, but not this one. The next time he stands [...]
When we think about Top Fuel Dragsters blowing over backward our thoughts usually hone in on the infamous mid-1980s Garlits blow over at Englishtown or Eddie Hill’s horrifying wreck at the 1989 Winternationals. Fact is, this is something that dragster pilots have been fighting since the early 1970s. Yes, there were instances of sling shots [...]
I’ll readily admit to using some hyperbole now and again to juice up a headline, but this nitrous explosion, filmed at the Yas Marina Circuit drag strip in Abu Dhabi is the most massive and violent one I have ever seen. The concussion literally blows the front of the car to pieces and it was [...]
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 [...]
The northern parts of the country have been smacked pretty well with snow recently. That means lots of traffic, crashes, and people who have no business driving getting exposed as the no talent drones that they are. This video was shot by a guy from the front yard of his house during a snow storm in Utah. [...]
We’ve showed you plenty of video from circle tracks across the country, especially those that run so-called “spectator drags”. The premise is pretty simple. Two cars are lined up side by side and they run around the track. Presumably, these are street cars that people have driven to the track. Lots of times adrenaline and [...]
