Cool Video: A Top Fuel Hydroplane Throwing Header Flames on the Water
Posted in MISC March 30, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Top Fuel Hydros are the baddest mothers on the water. Take all the aspects of a fuel dragster or Funny Car, smoosh it down into a swoopy looking boat, and voila! You’ll be doing 250 mph on the water in less than five seconds. The coolest part of this video is the fact that it [...]
Pulling Video: A Vintage Ford Sporting V8 Power
Posted in MISC March 30, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Since BangShift.com first got off the ground, we’ve not been shy of our affection for old tractors. We happened to be surfing YouTube as we do far too often and found some footage of an old Ford 9N (don’t believe the title of the video) that’s been muscled up with a big ol’ V8. This [...]
Killer Video: The Priapism Speed Buggy Burning Tires and Hauling Ass
Posted in MISC March 25, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The (as named by Hot Rod Magazine) Priapism has been a bit of a sensation since hitting the pages of the magazine. The tube chassis, twin V8 powered rod is a master work of fabrication and has a power to weight ratio akin to a rocket powered roller skate. With eight header tubes plumbed together [...]
Video: More Mud-Based Bad-Assery From Bithlo Motorsports Park
Posted in MISC March 22, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Last week we dropped some killer video of huge trucks flying through the air at Orlando, Florida’s Bithlo Motorsports Park. There’s no hang time in this video but there is one kick ass Ford-bodied mud-bogger hauling ass through the slop. Paddle tires make our knees weak. We tried to find some specs on this truck, [...]

The Parting Shift: A Stroked Mope Bangin’ Gears in ‘Bama
Posted in MISC March 19, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This footage from Huntsville Dragway, featuring a slammed Dodge Challenger equipped with an A-833 4-speed, is good stuff. The car has got the good looks of an early Pro Stocker, and with 451ci of bored and stroked Mopar wedge under the hood, it moves out. The person who posted this on YouTube claims that [...]
Friday Nitro Video: Don Prudhomme Fires Up His Hot Wheels ‘Cuda Flopper
Posted in MISC March 19, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Don Prudhomme hung up his drag racing spurs prior to the 2010 NHRA season. Without a major sponsor to support his racing operation, the Snake wasn’t going to run a sub-standard team, so he’s been out at nostalgia events more often than ever. One of the Prudhomme’s cooler tricks of late was the restoration of [...]
Burnout Video: Crazy Aussie Smokes the Tires For a Quarter-Mile
Posted in MISC March 18, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This quarter mile burnout is cool for a couple reasons, the first is because it’s done by a 440 Ambassador. The second is because that Ambassador is a wagon. While it appears that the driver is using a line lock and backing the pressure off of the front tires to maintain control of the car, [...]
Carnage Video: Dude Crashes in Street Race, Posts Video, Gets Hit For Insurance Fraud
Posted in MISC March 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
If you’re not familiar with the Nissan GT-R supercar, it’s an import-car legend that, in 2009 US trim, is packing a twin turbo V6 with 480 hp. It weighs 3,800 pounds and can run 190 mph. They also cost nearly $100,000 out the door. That might explain how brother and sister Jay and Tracy Chen [...]
Awesome Video: Huge Trucks Flying Through the Air At Crazy Mud Bogging Event
Posted in MISC March 16, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We think we know about all types of racing and wild motorsports events, but on a pretty regular basis we’re slapped with something incredible we’ve never seen before. This video of the “Hill-N-Hole” competition held at Orlando Florida’s Bithlo Motorsports Park blew our minds. There are huge trucks jumping 15-20 feet into the air at [...]
Hilarious Video: Trucks Climbing Each Other
Posted in MISC March 15, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’ve seen magazine covers and other other static photos of massive trucks perched up on another truck’s tire, we’ve just never seen it done in moving pictures. We’re hoping the guy knew the owner of the truck he decided to climb up. These trucks make our C50 project Goliath look like a 2WD S10. One [...]
Neat Video: Buddies Horsing Around With Their Jag-Powered Slingshot, Dry Hops Included
Posted in MISC March 11, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This video struck us as very cool in a subtle way. It’s basically a few guys tuning on a vintage slingshot dragster powered by a DOHC Jag engine. The thing sounds cool as hell, and the fact that they are pulling dry hops in an alley behind their shop of house is even cooler. We [...]
Cool Video: A Huge Custom Unimog Struts Its Stuff
Posted in MISC March 11, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Unimogs are bad ass 4x4s, and modified Unimogs are even better than that. This video shows a totally tricked out Unimog built by Couch Off Road Engineering for the firearms company Magpul Industries. The truck has been converted into a bus of sorts and rides on massive tires, has a worked over diesel motor, and [...]
Video: Ridetech Now Thrashes on UTV Suspension, Too
Posted in MISC February 18, 2010 by Chad Reynolds
> >
Our friends at BangShift.com sponsor Ridetech are always up for a good time, and “good time” at home base in Jasper, Indiana, usually means thrashing on new products and taking fun video at the same time. That plan has now been applied to the latest parts from Ridetech, which is actually ShockWave air suspension for [...]
Killer Video: Stacey David Tools on the Cherry Bomb Dodge Truck
Posted in MISC February 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’re envious of the guys over at Cherry Bomb. First they unveil the kick ass “Disturbing the Peace” Camaro project renderings, and then they drop their newest TV spot on us. It features the Hemi-powered 1964 Dodge D-100 truck that we love to love. Just to prove that it isn’t a show circuit star, Stacey [...]
Scots Test Out Amphibious Bus, We’ll Watch From Shore
Posted in MISC February 12, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Human beings have the strange ability to continually develop new and fascinating ways of transportation. We also have the ability to create modes of transportation that could lead to the grisly demise of their passengers. Enter the “Amfibus,” a passenger bus that also doubles as a ferry boat. They are built in Holland and Glasgow, [...]
Video Bonanza: Old Engines From the Gearhead Past
Posted in MISC February 9, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Engines are the life force of the gearhead world. We like to think about them in hot rods, trucks, and muscle cars, but there is a much broader scope that needs to be considered. Engines powered far more than cars in the days of old. Often factories would be powered by massive stationary engines used [...]
