Last week we showed you video of a fourth generation Camaro spitting both rear wheels out on the starting line at Beaver Springs Dragway in Pennsylvania. This week it is a 1957 Chevy on the starting line of  an unknown drag strip. The ’57 looks like a full on drag car with the huge by [...]

This is bar none, the craziest and most spectacular motorcycle save we have ever seen. The rider is Genki Hagata and the place is Infineon Raceway in California during a recent AMA race. Hagata was on track qualifying in the Supersport class when he came as close as we have ever seen to crashing without [...]

No matter what type of organized automotive activity that you’re into, there are bragging rights involved. The bragging rights are probably no bigger or more completely over the top than in the world of mud bogging and giant competition trucks. The proof of this statement comes in the form of the video below which shows [...]

Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park (formerly Norwalk Raceway Park) in Ohio is one of the fastest, nicest, and hardest hooking drag strips in the country. We’ve been there back when it was the IHRA’s home track, after NHRA took it over, and we’ve even spent a week there for the awesome and infamous Halloween Classic [...]

Back in March, Pro Mod racer John Hall suffered a massive wreck during the NMRA race in Bradenton, Florida. Hall was there testing his nitrous Camaro in preparation for the then upcoming ADRL season opener in Houston, Texas. As you’ll see in this video, the car launches and covers the eighth-mile in 3.99 seconds and [...]

Some videos aren’t cool because of trick camera work, killer sound, or zooty stuff like that. Take this one for example. It shows drag racing legend Jim Oddy firing up the very Austin gasser he raced all over the country in the 1960s. The car has been painstakingly restored by New York resident John Cassiol [...]

Regular BangShift readers know Jamey Smith. He’s the stunt driver and gearhead that has appeared in Hot Rod  and a bunch of videos on both the internet and big screens of your local cinema. Smith is really good at driving cars up on two wheels and he recently decided to try and do something no [...]

The men who race in the crazy Norwegian Formula Off Road series are a breed apart. Piloting trucks that are hybrids of mud boggers, sand rails, rock buggies, and dragsters, these paddle tired world beaters can climb near vertical slopes, skip across the surface of water, and throw pea gravel into the upper reaches of [...]

The hotly awaited 2013 Ford Mustang GT500 has been spotted and captured on video making laps around the famed Nurburgring in Germany. The car sounds 100% bad ass when wailing along, that is for sure. Since the track was wet and it was raining on the day this video was shot, there have been no [...]

Any gearhead who has had access to both a front wheel drive and plastic lunch trays has combined the two for magical parking lot hilarity. Skidding a car around like this is really fun and so long as the cops do not show up, there’s not harm in it. Now imagine taking that parking lot [...]

Big Red is one of if not the single greatest road legal 1969 Camaro in history. Built by Dan and RJ Gottlieb and used to compete in dozens of different events, the car can run 220mph flat out during the Silver State Classic, clip 215mph at the Texas Mile, and haul the mail up a mountain [...]

We got tipped off to some sweet video from the 2012 Goodguys Del Mar, California event that focuses on the autocross, and specifically some of the hottest iron on it, the Hotchkis Camaro, Challenger, and vintage C10 truck. The video is a celebration of the Goodguys Autocross and what it has grown to become. While [...]

We got tipped off to this video by the guys at ReplayXD cameras. A ReplayXD was mounted at ankle height during the burnout contest at the NMCA Nationals in Commerce, Georgia. The camera captured a SN197 Mustang absolutely melting the hides off the back of itself and belching tire smoke everywhere. It also happened to [...]

Well, we know at least one guy now who we have to believe when he tells us that his car can pull wheelies on the street and that’s the owner of this Chevy Malibu station wagon! This small tire drag machine hooks hard on the strip as evidenced by his other videos, but that rear [...]

While we think that hybrid cars are a complete and utter farce that ultimately do more harm than good for the world, the idea of a hybrid big rig makes a lot of sense to us. Easing the fuel costs of truckers would have a cascading effect on prices of stuff and it would make [...]
