Big motor plus small car always equals fun but when the small car is a cool little old school Japanese job and the engine is a 420ci Cleveland headed  Ford small block, we’re talking real fun! This video was made in Australia at a dyno/tuning day for this race car which can normally be found [...]

Jim Pace is our adopted maniac road racer here at BangShift. Pace is always wheeling something awesome and lots of times it is vintage or historic. In this video he is running an old Lola T70 Spyder Can-Am car around the Sebring road course. The track is being run in its 12-hour configuration and that [...]

Yeah, this is pretty much the greatest thing you are going to see today and potentially all week. This video is on board footage with driver Wayne McPeek at Ohio Valley Speedway. The track is a 3/8-mile semi-banked clay oval. Watching this guy wheel a sprint car around this track is like watching an airplane [...]

(Editor’s note: If you are going straight to the video, skip to 2:00! That’s when the action starts!) I’ve often said that part of the attraction of watching truck and/or tractor pulling is that the pulls themselves are like protracted dyno pulls that seem to go on forever. Case in point is this video which [...]

Spring is here and racing season in on with a fury. That means local circle tracks are running their great “Saturday Night Thunder” style programs that mix in fast cars, enduro style cars, and even spectator on spectator racing to keep the crowds happy. I love the spectator drags because it places to people on [...]

As we’ve said many times before here on the electronic pages of BangShift, we’ve got all the respect in the world for drift drivers. It isn’t easy, and they make it look like no sweat. Meanwhile inside the cars, those dudes are working the throttle, brakes, and steering like mad men to keep their cars [...]

From the guys that brought you Overhaulin’, Rides, Hot Rod TV, OUSCI, and many many more, comes a new special on Travel Channel called Doomsday on Wheels. Much like the show Doomsday Preppers, this one will feature some “interesting” characters who have prepared for the end of the world as we know it. Instead of [...]

Every year while we are standing up on the scaffolding bringing you all the LIVE March Meet racing action you can handle, Les Mayhew is running around getting sexy shots and killer video that he puts together into what we believe is the finest nostalgia drag racing videos you will find anywhere. His March Meet [...]

You know that we’re suckers for great in-car drag racing video, especially when it involves the expert operation of a manual transmission equipped race car. This video fits that description to a T as we get to ride shotgun with NHRA competition eliminator racer Matt Harris as he makes a recent quarter mile blast. The [...]

You know a guy is a hardcore drag racer with a name like Gonzo Travalini and he proved it with a driving performance for the ages at the Perth Motorplex recently. Travalini was competing in the Top Comp category which seems like an an awesome deal because he was in his Ford bodied top doorslammer [...]

Another day, another small tire insanity video! Our buddy Mark Walter was at Holly Springs Drag Strip last weekend filming their famed Shootout race. During one round of X275 action, racer Shane Fischer got his Mustang hooked to the strip like freaking velcro and the front end started climbing to the sky.The single turbo Mustang [...]

Here’s further proof that turbos are pretty much the cure for all of the world’s ills and that the make every damned thing better. This video is from Australia and it shows a really clean (and pretty new looking) Ford ‘Ute with a 3.7L (destroked 4L) inline six that has been heavily modified and equipped [...]

Outlaw 10.5 cars are completely nuts. Teams that run these cars walk the razors edge on ever run with regard to chassis tuning and traction. One hit may result in near instant tire smoke while the next could turn out like this lap for the Motis Racing crew down in Australia. The car basically dead [...]

“Ballistic” BJ Baldwin is a bad ass, and we like him even more after watching this video of him drifting his Monster Energy Chevy Trophy Truck on the street, and on the dirt. Oh, and we forgot to mention he also jumps a girl, and her Nissan GTR, before picking her up for a little [...]

(Editor’s Note: I ran this video on Saturday as part of our weekend content but  it is so damned good I’m running it again today to help you perk up on a Monday morning!) It is Saturday, hopefully the man is not keeping you down with work and you’re enjoying your weekend. If you are [...]

OH MY GOD!!!! This is awesome. If it wasn’t cell phone video it would be slightly cooler, but only a little. Take two dudes, one Ford truck, copious amounts of gumption, and some ingenuity, and this is what happens. They send the Ford on a trip without driver and it becomes the world’s largest lawn [...]
