You’ve got to give the guys and girls at the ADRL credit, they know how to put on one hell of a show. They pulled out all the stops at their final race of the season by having two monster trucks from the Bigfoot stable come to Texas and race side-by-side for an eighth mile. [...]

Longtime Pro Mod standout and NHRA national event winning Funny Car racer and Top Fuel Team Owner Mike Ashley is in some serious trouble with the federal government. Ashley worked as the “chief business strategist” at New York’s Lend America, a mortgage lender. The government is alleging all kinds of bad stuff with respect to [...]
New IHRA Pro Fuel Class Looks Cool, Veale/Brown Motorsports Digger will be there

The IHRA announced some major league format changes for the 2010 season, and they also announced some new classes that will be contested. One of them is being called “Pro Fuel” and is essentially a wide open, injected nitro dragster class. We think it is bitchin’ because these injected nitro cars have been handicapped for [...]

Saab has been a hot potato for GM as of late. The company started a deal to sell the brand to a Swedish sports car manufacturer but it fell apart in the late innings, then there was discussion with the Swedish government that ultimately went nowhere, and now there is talk the Chinese may be [...]

We hope there are no black helicopters circling the east coast BangShift.com HQ or any strange oil company representatives knocking at our door for reporting this story. A group of kids and a professor at the University of Wisconsin have developed a self-generating hydrogen system that has shown 20 percent fuel economy increases on vehicles [...]

The 2009 Performance Racing Industry trade show is up and running in Orlando, Florida. Due to other commitments we could not attend the very cool gathering of hard core vendors from all genres of the racing industry. The PRI show is different from SEMA in the fact that you’ll not see any mud flaps, neon [...]
Drag Racing in Paradise: St. Lucia Hosts a straight line shindig
Posted in General News December 10, 2009 by Brian Lohnes

Sometimes we take for granted that most of us live within a couple hour drive of the local drag strip. You can be-bop to the strip on a Sunday and see a couple hundred cars reeling off laps all day. There’s lots of places in the world where that is an impossibility, like on the [...]
Horror Story: Man Escapes Death in a Bad Wreck While Towing a ’69 Camaro Pace Car
Posted in General News December 10, 2009 by Brian Lohnes

We were tipped to loo at a thread over at Yenko.net by BangShift forum member antmnte. The story is awful. A man purchased a pristine 1969 Camaro Pace Car at the massive Turkey Rod Run that is held in Daytona, Florida. While towing it home he had an accident and slid the truck and trailer [...]
Tourism by Go Kart: Would you do this?
Posted in General News December 10, 2009 by Brian Lohnes

We love seeing new places, but we’re not sure we want to do it in a go kart. A company in San Diego, California, allows you to tour the city in what amounts to a GPS equipped, amusement park go kart. This seems like it will be a big hit until someone is squashed by [...]
Virgin’s New Craft Uses Nitrous Oxide to Launch Private Parties Into Space
Posted in General News December 9, 2009 by Brian Lohnes

If you think our headline sounds funny, you should see the one that caught our eye at England’s The Enterprise. It said, “Virgin joins 70-mile-high club with launch of spaceship.” They, and we, mean Virgin Galactic (yes, Galactic) and the company’s Sir Richard Branson. Yesterday he unveiled the VSS Enterprise (get it?) that aims to [...]
