If we have proven anything over the last couple days, it is that the English have a hammerlock on weird when it comes to the drags. Weird not being used in a bad way, but as a term of endearment. If the little postal van was too big for you, how about a freaking mobility [...]

The only thing we know about this sport is that it involves teams of firemen, high performance cars and trucks, high speeds, and ladders. Some of the teams use cars that look like circle track modifieds and others use seriously modified old trucks. As best we can tell, this sport is limited to the greater [...]

What’s the ultimate monster truck fail, you ask? How about wrecking your truck when hitting the cars and failing to crush a single one. That’s what happens in this video and that pretty much defines it for us. This footage was shot at (we think) Tulsa Raceway Park (the beginning and end of Drag Week [...]

Horsing around at the shop has long been a staple of the high performance and hot rodding community. In fact, lots of awesome stuff has come from such sessions of mechanical debauchery. Outside of the normal stuff like igniting acetylene filled trash bags, zapping people with charged condensers, and other such booby traps, there’s also the whole…umm…non [...]

Mazda recently announced that they were finally putting a bullet into their rotary engine program, marking the beginning of the end for the weirdo little engines.
