The NHRA is in Charlotte this weekend, for the NHRA Dollar General 4-Wide Nationals at ZMax Dragway, and while we dig watching our friends in the Fuel cars and Pro Stock, it’s Stock and Super Stock Eliminator that really get our blood rolling. After all, these dudes are going fast with very little in cars [...]
We learned of this video from our friend Dawn Mazi-Hovsepain and it rules all! Shot at Miami Hollywood Speedway in 1975 it features some of the best Pro Stock drag racing footage of the era, unfortunately it doesn’t feature sound, but the visuals are flippin’ awesome! You’ll see Dyno Don, Bob Glidden, Gapp and Roush, [...]
There’s something awesome about a full tilt car built from original period steel. Such is the case with this radical 1934 Ford which was built by the guys at Eddie’s Chop Shop in California recently. The car just started turning tires on the track last weekend, so even this dyno video is fresh fish because [...]
Check it out. BangShift sponsor and dude of dudes Bret Voelkel was interviewed at the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals a couple weeks ago, and here is the video. He talks about autocross, racing the Lambo for Hot Rod Magazine, and just how fast everyone is getting out on the track. Of course he is with [...]
Aussie BangShifter John Tearle tipped us off to this video of a Commodore Ute not only burning the tires off, but also nearly burning to the ground during an Aussie “power skid” contest. At points during this video, you can see plastic body panels melting off of the car…seriously! John believes that it probably has [...]
We’ve all seen a lot of really fast 5th Gen Camaros, but when you start talking about big power like this, it’s a whole other world. The StangKilr Camaro has enough turbo for 1500+ Horsepower, but the owner, who shall remain nameless, says he’s got 1200 with the current combo. It’s got all the good [...]
We’ve seen just about every kind of burnout imaginable. We have done most of them ourselves! But this one made us shake our heads. Unfortunately the car doing the burnout is front wheel drive, but at least it’s domestic. You will laugh as you watch this one, unless you are dead. Click play to watch. [...]
If you haven’t heard about Cash Days, then you are missing out on one of the greatest street races ANYWHERE. And before you start whining about street racing being illegal and dangerous, and all that blah blah blah stuff, let me say that we here at BangShift.com know that it is illegal, know that it [...]
Lightning’s have been Ford’s baddest truck for a long long time, but there are a lot of them out there with turbos instead of the factory installed supercharger. The whole Turbo vs Supercharger argument is never going to be decided, but there are plenty of bench racing sessions each and every week about which is [...]
Kyle Loftis, owner and brain child behind 1320Video is a good friend of ours, and the real deal all the way. It’s 1320 Video Sunday boys and girls. This first video rules because who do you know that has an 8 second anything, let alone an 8 second ’36 CHEVY PICKUP!!! Oh, and did we [...]
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 [...]
To build a little old Toyota Corolla that runs in the elevens on the strip and looks like something an old woman would be driving is devious and awesome. The car is down in Australia where weird and cool drag cars seem to be growing on trees. From the plumbing van with the 632ci BBC [...]
There are sleepers and then there are sleepers. We got tipped off to a thread over on YellowBullet that started off featuring a wild Dodge Ramcharger truck down in Louisiana and quickly filled up with other great sleepers vehicles. For the purposes of this exercise, we’ll stick to the Dodge. The lead photo and video [...]
You don’t have to like rock buggies, trucks, off roading, or nature to appreciate the sheer levels of massive balls and complete insanity you’ll see in this two minute video. Quick synopsis: A rock buggy climbs a near sheer cliff not once, but freaking twice. The second time, it actually goes over the top. Oh, [...]
No joke, although you cannot see the scoreboards at the end of this video the “winning” bus is capable of running in the 13-second time zone. How do we know that? We’re including an extra video of that same bus running at an eighth-mile strip in Puerto Rico and cranking off an 8.75/80 mph run. [...]
Oh, there is lots and lots of win happening here. If you want to skip the warm up laps you can jump to the 1:00 mark but we suggest watching the whole thing because it gives you the full sensation of how this thing acts and accelerates (on dirt) when the driver starts dipping his [...]
