Earlier we showed you some Indy 500 competitors spinning out their junk during the parade laps before the race started. That was comical, but this footage from the 1982 Indy 500 is downright wild. Kevin Cogan who started the race in the front row suffered some sort of failure and caused an incredible wreck before [...]
Spinning your race car out on a pace lap is bad. Spinning your car out on a parade lap is way worse. Spinning your car out on the parade lap when you are the pole sitter for the Indy 500? Absolute epic fail. Well we found footage of not only pole sitter Roberto Guerrero spinning [...]
It is Indy 500 weekend and since today is my day for weekend content, I am going all Indy-centric! My favorite driver of all time is AJ Foyt. The man is a living legend and the videos below prove why. AJ Foyt is a man who can rightfully be considered one of the best race [...]
The 1971 Indy 500 Pace Car situation was screwy from the start, but no one in their right mind could have predicted the stunning crescendo to the story that would take place on the opening lap of the race. We’ve heard the story told but never actually seen the carnage. Luckily for us, we found [...]
I don’t know how I missed this one but I did. Elana Scherr from Hot Rod visited Aadlen Brothers Auto Wrecking which is in Los Angeles and got the whole tour and a look at the process cars go through once they enter their end of life stages at a junkyard. There are LOTS of EPA [...]
Aussie drag racer Gary Phillips had a violent ride recently when he let the clutch out of his virtually new Camaro Top Doorslammer machine at Sydney Dragway. As you’ll see in the video Phillips got a few hundred feet down the track when fluid got under the tires and pitched the car completely sideways. Despite [...]
It’s Thursday boys and girls and that means PowerShift is on! Last week we couldn’t have the show because our south of the border internet connection wasn’t fast enough, but this week we are in Tulsa Oklahoma for the Throwdown in T-Town drag race and have lots to talk about at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern. We’ve [...]
Lots of racers out there use front mounted fuel cells in their cars. The small cells can hold a few gallons of fuel, eliminate the weight of a tank in the rear and they also allow for better fuel deliver in some cases where the pump isn’t trying to “push” fuel in the wrong direction [...]
I don’t know lots about boat racing, but when there is a “Formula One” class, I’m going to assume it is pretty serious business. From what I can gather about the engine that serves as the centerpiece of this video, it is a highly modified 2.5L Mercury Marine used in the Formula class to power [...]
That blurry figure you see flying through the air in the lead photo is not a super hero although after you see what he lived through in this disaster of a failed motorcycle jump, you’ll think he is invincible. The man’s name is Jumpin’ John Holland and he became a bit of a local hero [...]
This is video that’s sure to put a big smile on your face! We saw this posted on Facebook and thought that the BS readership would totally be into seeing a group of guys in the 1960s push starting their altered on a residential street where they live. They apparently had just installed a brand [...]
We were tipped off to this video by multiple BS readers were were left as slack jawed as we were once viewing it. We have no idea what the hell caused this car to hit a barrier at an amazing rate of speed and launch skyward like it is part of a movie stunt. We’ve [...]
It has been a while since we’ve shown you a good old fashioned, all four wheels off the ground wheelstand video. This is racer Chris Evans competing in his great looking X275 Mustang at the always fast Maryland International Raceway. As you’ll see, the car hooks and starts climbing the ring gear very quickly. It [...]
This is one of the gnarliest crashes we have seen in a while, and we’ve seen a lot. Here is three videos, including in-car, of Sam “The Godfather” Sadek, in his stunningly beautiful, and scary fast, Mazda RX3 Turbo car as it blows an intercooler at about 1000ft at the last Australian Pro Street Association [...]
We’ve showed you video of Dan Mundy’s insane Chevy truck before but here’s some new footage of “Air Mundy” getting it done and in fine fashion. The truck was out tearing up the Earth at the West Georgia Mud Park recently (we need a mud park near BS eastern HQ!) and really did some spectacular [...]
The Mustang Shop in Washington state is in the final stages of completing a 2008 Mustang the likes of which we have never seen for the NASA American Iron Extreme class. What was their build plan? Essentially it was to take a Mustag road race car and shove a 358ci NASCAR Sprint Cup engine into [...]
