Posted in RACING & ACTION January 26, 2012  by  Brian Lohnes > > 

Yesterday we showed you video of a dirt bike rider scaling a huge “mountain” of dirt and rocks.

MONDO WHEELSTAND VIDEO: A TWIN TURBO CAMARO SCRAPES THE BUMPER AND SMASHES THE HEADERS!

Big tires, a sticky drag strip, and big power are the perfect equation for a big wheelstand. This Camaro proves that theory by climbing the ring gear right on the hit of the throttle. We’re guessing on the twin turbos because when the front end goes all Apollo 13, there looks to be a pair [...]

Posted in CRASH & BURN January 11, 2012  by  Brian Lohnes > > 

Shifter kart racing is pretty serious business. These little demon like mechanical creatures own the track records at many road courses, are blindingly fast, and can corner like no one’s business.
