We’ve shared some live track testing going on at Maryland International Raceway where PDRA’s top teams were on hand to see what kind of improvements they can make as they got ready for this past weekend’s PDRA North vs South Shootout at MIR. Once the racing weekend started the official PDRA livestream took over, but if you didn’t pay for the pay per view to watch, you can still catch all the qualifying action right here thanks to NCProModer and Straight Line Media who were both on hand and have

We share all kinds of live racing action from the 24 Hours of SPA this weekend, but if you missed any of that we’ve got great highlight video below that shows the best racing action from the weekend. We’re talking 24 Hour Endurance Road Racing, which is not for the weak of heart. This is racing that tests teams, drivers, crews, strategies, and more. It’s a never ending battle, in often changing conditions, and that means the racing action can something get a little dicey. But don’t worrry, you g

Doorwarz at Mission Raceway Park in British Columbia, Canada is one of the most talked about events north of the border every year. I don’t know that I’ve ever been told to go to any event more than Doorwarz. This event is not only an awesome door car race, but also happens to be at one of the prettiest race tracks on the planet. I mean just look at this thing! It’s on the Fraser River, just north of the border from Washington State, and it is a gem of south western Canada. When I say on the riv

IIHS crash testing is something else. The destruction that happens in a bad car wreck is amazing and the offset head on collision scenario is more common than you think. This is the kind of crash that can take someones life or severely injure them. This testing is what has led to more airbags, more structural engineering for passenger safety, and a ton of other interior details you may not even realize are there for you safety in a crash. When you see the damage in this video, and the dynamics g

It is endurance racing season, and boy is it in full swing! There have been more 24 hour races in the last few weeks than we could imagine, and there are even more to come. It’s summertime racing and we love it. Today and tomorrow it’s the 24 Hours of Spa race which is presented by CrowdStrike and is part of the GT World Challenge in Europe. Watch all 24 hours LIVE right here thanks to the GTWorld Channel. Video Description: The last track session ahead of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa and t

This video couldn’t be more timely, as I had to put together a bed frame, four bar stools, and some lights in the last couple of days. All three used allen, or hex key, fasteners. Of course the hex keys in my Kobalt 1/4 inch drive ratchet set were SAE and all these things had “metric” fasteners, but I made it work. The trick was to use the ratchet and hex key socket to get them snug and then give them a bit more with the hex key that came in the box with the fasteners. In theory that should help

Here’s our last gallery of lost photos from Day 3 of Buckeye Skip’s Drag and Drive, and we’ve got plenty more where that came from! Plus, if you missed the previous photos we’ve got a link to those below as well. This is our last gallery from the 2025 event and we’re looking forward to 2026!

If you are like me you are going to watch this video and think how much fun it seems it would be to be driving, and also that this dude could have been going even faster. Yeah, that’s not a criticism. Watch until the end and you’ll see what I’m talking about as Robin Shutes takes his Pikes Peak machine up the mountain quicker than anyone has ever done with a rear wheel drive car, and next year he’ll be back going even quicker I’m sure. The weather looked amazing, the car sounds good, and it sure

I know I’m not alone in saying that the Tyrrell P34 is one of the coolest looking F1 cars ever produced, not only because the lines are good on it, but also because it’s a freak show with 4 front wheels. And the idea behind it was genius. Little wheels and tires have less drag and that means the front could be lower and let all that good air go over the car, through the rear wing where it provided great downforce. And while they were a freak show looking car, they did well. It actually worked. U

There are going to be some of the most epic Ferrari’s in Formula 1 history at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and this right here is one of them. The crew caught up with this car at the Monaco Historics race and man we couldn’t be happier that they did. Ferrari has been racing in F1 for 75 years now, and that mean’s they have seen some things and done some things. But while all these Ferraris are epic and cool, some definitely stand out from the rest. These cars were from a different era

Randy Pobst can wheel a race car, and on too many occasions to count we’ve seen him do it. But he also enjoys a quick and fast street car which means that upgrades are often in order. In this video series we’ll see his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am get some suspension love. But don’t think that this is some old original worn out machine that is getting the upgrades so they can show a huge improvement. No, this car has had a bunch of work done to it to get it into ship shape, and now it’s time for more.

Heres our final gallery of photos from Richard Pasley’s coverage of the NHRA New England Nationals in Epping New Hampshire. If you missed any of the previous photos, use the link below to check them out too! (Photos by Richard Pasley) – When the NHRA brought National Event Drag Racing back to the northeast a few years ago, the crowds at the New England Nationals in Epping were off the hook. More people were crammed into the track than ever and it is no different today. With just a few NHRA Nati

Here’s our second gallery of lost photos from Day 3 of Buckeye Skip’s Drag and Drive, and we’ve got plenty more where that came from!

While we were on Rocky Mountain Race Week a couple of weeks ago, we passed a train derailment that had happened in the not too distant past. The tracks were repaired, and some of the train wreckage was cleaned up and moved out of the way of other train traffic, but seeing these train cars on their sides in the dirt made you really wonder how the heck they would get these things out of there. We realized that the train cars that were on site still were laying on their sides and had no “trucks” ak

Vintage Air has been cooling hot rods, customs, and race cars for decades now and is continually reimagining and developing new systems. But that doesn’t mean they have forgotten their tried and true applications, it just means they are finding more and more newer projects that can benefit from all the features and technology that is built into systems like the new Gen 5 that is going into this 4-eye Fox Body Mustang. The great thing with Vintage Air is that they have many direct fit Sure-Fit sy

He’s back at it, and because I’ve done a similar type of chassis swap myself, I can’t fault him for the idea or the execution. Would I do some stuff different, sure. But I guarantee someone else would do it different than I would. So who cares as long as it works! Watch this video and you’ll see just how much tedious work there is to do a project like this. There are a ton of ways to skin this cat, but it all takes work. Lots and lots of work. If this is the video that makes you think Dylan has

(Photos by Richard Pasley) – When the NHRA brought National Event Drag Racing back to the northeast a few years ago, the crowds at the New England Nationals in Epping were off the hook. More people were crammed into the track than ever and it is no different today. With just a few NHRA National Events selling out each year, it is something special that Epping was one of them again this year. Thankfully, our friend Richard Pasley was on hand to shoot some really great photos from the event and we
