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 [...]
Watch the World’s Fastest Hybrid Big Rig Set Land Speed Records
Posted in RACING & ACTION May 3, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

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 [...]

We’re still smarting from the news of the Michigan Madman’s passing. In his memory, here’s the best video you’ll ever see of EJ Potter atop his legendary V8 Chevy bike, known as the Widow Maker. This video was shot in the mid to late 1990s when EJ came out of retirement to ride his restored [...]

When Jason Lewis is not wrenching on his Viper V10 powered Maverick project, he is out making killer videos like this piece that he shot and edited from Laguna Seca Raceway. In it, you’ll see Tanner Foust in a drift prepped Ford Mustang and Mike Ryan in his giant Freightliner big rig drifting around the [...]
FNG: My Weekend in the Trench With Peter Farber’s NHRA/ADRL Pro Mod Team PLUS VIDEO
Posted in General News April 25, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

I have seen drag races through several different angles during my time in the sport. I have seen them as a racer in a street car or bracket bomber, I have seen them as an announcer and race director, and I have seen them as a fan. Up until last weekend, I had never seen [...]

For those of you who weren’t watching during our huge LIVE broadcast at the 2011 PSCA Street Car Super Nationals, you missed an amazingly scary crash.

Watch a Triple Turbocharged DT466 Diesel Powered Dragster Run Down the Strip – Smoke A-Plenty!
Posted in ENGINES April 16, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

We saw a link to this video posted over at YellowBullet and thought that the BS world would want to get a look at one of the weirdest and wildest dragsters we have laid eyes on in a good, long time. The traditional rear engine dragster looks to be about the length of a “normal” [...]
Watch the Most Insane Mud Truck Run We Have Ever Seen
Posted in RACING & ACTION April 16, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

We have showed plenty of videos in the past of mud trucks pulling big wheelies on the launch or hanging the front end on the way through a pit. This is the first time we have ever seen a guy stand his truck on a non-existent bumper TWICE on the same run. If this were [...]
The Parting Shift: A Bad Ass and Drama Free Stick Box Strip Pass
Posted in RACING & ACTION April 13, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Yeah, we’re late with this week’s Parting Shift, but that is OK. The video of this expertly driven, slickly shifted Mustang is worth it. Normally I like to hunt down huge wheelies, or insane RPM screaming small blocks, but this time I am saving the drama for your mamma. The dude driving this Mustang hits [...]
Watch a Toyota Supra Start a Drag Strip Pass on the Tires and Cross the Traps on the Roof!

Supras have been dying at a high rate on drag strips in both Europe and North America. A couple of weeks ago we showed you one blowing up and turning the strip at Englishtown into a hibachi grill. Today we’re heading across the Atlantic ocean and back to our favorite English drag strip, Santa Pod. [...]

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. On the other end of the performance tire spectrum is the venerable drag slick. Invented [...]
Action Video: Cars Drag Racing on Dirt in Mexico!
Posted in RACING & ACTION April 5, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

This is not drag racing on sand. It isn’t drag racing through mud. This is freakin’ drag racing on dirt! It’s held in Naco Sonora, Mexico, south of Bizbee, Arizona, but that’s about all we can tell you since we can’t find any more information online that isn’t in Spanish, but we know that “cuarto [...]
