Hanson is embarking on a new Chevelle project and this one is all about bang for the buck spending with, junkyard, Craigslist, and [...]

Posted in OTHER TECH February 7, 2013 by Brian Lohnes

Every time I watch or post video from Icelandic Formula Off Road events, I lament the fact that I’ve never seen one of these gatherings in person yet. I added the yet because I am going to get there one of these years. You all know the drill. These are tube frame machines that pack [...]
Video: The Most Insane Thing You’ll See All Day — Para-Sledding Or, How To Potentially Die From High Altitude On A Snow Machine
Posted in OTHER TECH January 15, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We have to thank BS tipster Toni Scholz for the lead on this video featuring a guy named Eric Oddy who has seemingly created a new adventure sport called para-sledding. The concept seems fairly simple. You hook a huge ass parachute to a snowmobile, get up a good head of steam, catch a breeze, and [...]

One of the things I have been quietly looking forward to is the upcoming film, “Snake and Mongoose” which tells the story of Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen, their rise to fame with the famous Mattel deal, their trials and tribulations on and off the track, and their enduring friendship. This is really one of [...]

As gearheads, we’re all a little weird. We see the world in a different way than the average person on the street. There’s a reason that the tears flow like water at the awards ceremony that closes out Drag Week, or why grown men become weeping puddles when awarded a simple red hat on the [...]

Our pal and video maven Jason Lewis is back with another great piece of work. We’ve showed you Jason’s kick ass V10 Maverick project, some of the work he has done with stuntman Mike Ryan and his wacko Freightliner truck, and other cool video work from his portfolio before. This time Jason has focused on [...]
Video: Ridetech Shows You How They Can Evaluate Your Suspension And Improve It
Posted in OTHER TECH August 23, 2012 by Chad Reynolds

We spend a lot of time on the road with hot rodders, racers, and fans and can tell you that for every car that is at a show or race and gets driven 100 miles or more per month there are literally dozens that get driven 100 miles per year. That’s usually because the owner [...]

We dig it when folks test things hmmmm how should we put it…”thoroughly”. Or for you guys that don’t get innuendo, that means we dig it when people try to tear the crap out of stuff in order to tell if it’s worth a crap. Turns out that Alex Sanders from Salem, Arkansas is one [...]
Awesome Video: An In-Depth Look at RideTech and “Why Shocks Matter”
Posted in OTHER TECH July 12, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

This video from RideTech is pretty damned cool for a number of reasons. The first is that it is filmed in a killer documentary style that we really like, the second is that it is chock full of really good information from the company about their products and about their history, and third because it [...]

When the guys at Airtex told me that Route2Media was coming to shoot a shop tour of their place in Fairfield Illinois, and that they wanted me to come be the host of the video, I was all in. Let’s face it, sounds like a recipe for trouble, and I’m a big big fan of [...]
Basic Tech Video: How to Shim a GM Starter for Proper Fitment
Posted in ENGINES May 25, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

Starter shimming is one of those operations that we should all be participating in at some level, but few of us do. Normally when you are swapping a starter, you are stuck somewhere, annoyed that you are doing it, or generally in no mood to take extra time to do anything but jam ass the [...]

Video guy Jason Lewis’s Ford Maverick that has been repowered with a Viper V10 is one of the nastiest home crafted projects we have seen in a while. Jason is a regular schmo like the rest of us, so he isn’t tearing through the build at light speed, but with the recent generosity of a [...]
Watch the Most Hellaciously Bad Ass Brake Test on Earth – Incredible Forces at Work
Posted in MISC April 10, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

We saw lots of hot brakes and clamping forces at work during the 2012 Run to the Shore, but even the big binders on the pro touring cars have nothing on the stoppers air liners use. Hauling all that weight down to a stop in the amount of time you have before running off the [...]

We’ve been talking a lot about tires around here over the last couple weeks. Mostly we’ve been talking about high performance road tires as that’s what we’ll be bolting under the Caprice project to enhance the handling of the car.
