You’re Doing It Wrong Video: How Not To Fire Up a Refurbished Turbine
Posted in MISC September 23, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’re not qualified to comment on the proper way to start a refurbished turbine engine hanging off the wing of a Boeing 737, but we do know wrong when we see it. For instance, it is wrong to have massive flames blow-torching a wing full of aviation fuel. No expertise required to form that opinion. [...]
Wet Wreckage Video: How to Destroy an Off Shore Racing Boat and Laugh It Off
Posted in CRASH & BURN September 22, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Motorized boat racing on nearly every level is insane. Hurtling across a constantly variable surface with as little of the actual vessel touching the water as possible can lead to some humongous carnage. This multi-angle footage of a big off-shore racing boat wrecking in grand fashion proves it. The boat suffers the same problem that [...]
Wreckage Video: Early 1980′s Demo Footage From Deep in the Heart of New Jersey
Posted in CRASH & BURN September 21, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’re so confused about this video. On the one hand, there is the brilliant unintentional comedy provided by a cast of characters participating in this demo derby. Then there’s the uncomfortable interviews provided by a reporter who appears to have never been to a race track before, but the real confusion starts when we saw [...]
Low Power Dyno Video: A Y-Block Ford on the Pump
Posted in ENGINES September 21, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Normally we bring you dyno videos of motors revving to the moon, motors making huge power, and motors that we could only dream of owning. This one is totally different! The owner of the engine said that he had this Y-Block built for a rat rot so major horsepower was not a requirement, just enough [...]
Wreckage Video: A Stolen Truck Plows Through Traffic

Imagine yourself as the driver of the truck in this video. He’s a car thief who made off with the big truck only to drive into heavy traffic and total gridlock. Rather than seek an alternate route the driver took matters into his own hands and simply hammered down on the pedal and tried to [...]

More and more footage from the vintage “Car and Track” TV show seems to be finding its way onto the internet every week. This time we’re showing you road test footage from an episode where the guys too a 1971 AMX Javelien equipped with a 401cid motor and a three speed auto transmission. They proceed [...]
The Parting Shift: Bangin’ A Converted Six-Speed Dakota R/T
Posted in MISC September 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The Dodge Dakota R/T was a neat little truck that never quite eeked itself into legit “muscle” territory. They were decently quick, but not the blazing hot rod truck that many expected them to be. In fact, we road in and thrashed a couple of 318ci, 5-speed trucks, that seemed to haul as much mail [...]
In Car Video Action: When Larson’s Nova Was Pink and Sporting a Huffer!
Posted in RACING & ACTION September 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Well isn’t this retro? We found some awesome in-car footage from back when Larry Larson’s Nova was all-pink and sporting a screamin’ 14-71 blower atop a 555ci big block Chevy. The Lenco was still present and accounted for but the elapsed times were far slower than they are today. One thing we really love about [...]
Hot Rod Drag Week Video: Thursday Action From Milan, Rolling in the Rain, Thrashing on the Roadside!
Posted in DRAG RACES September 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Thursday was an epic day on Hor Rod Drag Week 2010 presented by Gear Vendors Under/Overdrive. There were big numbers on the strip, insane weather, close calls and near misses on the highway, and even some good road side thrashing. All those elements were captured by our pal Kyle at 1320Video. He did his usual [...]

Wheelstands, big numbers, and smiles were the order of the day on Drag Week 2010 when the band of traveling drag race minstrels raced on the hallowed ground of Indy during day two action. Kyle of 1320Video fame was on hand to shoot the action and conduct some pit interviews with the racers. You’ll see [...]
Vintage NASCAR Wreckage Video: Johnny Allen Crash and Fire at Darlington Circa 1962
Posted in CRASH & BURN September 16, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
As much as we loathe the modern iteration what a racing “stock car” is, they are a vastly improved piece, on the safety front than their older brothers. Proof of this comes in the form of the video below. It features a scary wreck involving Johnny Allen at the 1962 Southern 500 held at Darlington [...]

Epic Video Bonanza: Bus Jumps!
Posted in CRASH & BURN September 15, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

We tend to get fixated on stuff every now and again. Recently we have become obsessed with people jumping school buses over stuff. Judging by the comments of our previous items featuring flying passenger buses, you all dig it in reader-land too. We knuckled down, and by tha we mean we popped a few beers [...]

Jump Video: Lunatic Dare Devil Flies a Bus Super Far
Posted in RACING & ACTION September 14, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Bus jumping has become our second favorite spectator motorsport. We’re not telling you what’s first. The whole concept of flying a passenger bus over a large number of objects appeals to us. We’d never actually drive the bus, but damn, watching some other lunatic try it is big fun. This video is proof that nothing [...]
Crunch Video: A Hot Rod Pile-up
Posted in CRASH & BURN September 13, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Hot rods that get driven occasionally get crashed. This is a sad but unavoidable fact. We’ve all seen a guy who got a little nuts with his car on the street and hit a tree or pole. One thing we’ve never seen is a legit chain reaction rear-end collision like the one in this video. [...]
