It’s time for our final coverage from the 2nd Formula Offroad race of the 2026 Season in Iceland and here’s the video coverage.

Road America is known as the “National Park of Speed” and for good reason. Anyone who has ever set foot at this historic race track knows that this place is truly something special. I’ll never forget the first time I came to this track or the first time I made a lap here. Road America is a bucket list racetrack for many people and seeing Indy Cars running around it really is something else. In the video below you’ll see the entire livestream from the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America so you can te

Larry Chen has been to some of the coolest automotive events in the world and has been doing this for a while now, so when he says that a show is epic, I believe it.

When you think there isn’t anything new they can do to an end wrench, they change the game. In recent years the Non-Slip wrenches have become the thing and as usual they are available in a variety of brands and price points. While Harbor Freight has become the largest tool seller in the country, Walmart has been hot on their heals trying to grab as much of that market as possible and doing a great job at it with brands like Hyper Tough and Hart really making a statement. But now the competition

I can’t wait to see Project 508 in person in Sweden in a few weeks! This drag and drive Camaro project sure has go some seriously sick fabrication going on and I can’t wait to see it all in person during Street Week 2026. In this installment we’ve got video showing the new driveshaft enclosure going together and being installed before this beast finally sits on its own wheels! Yep, first look at this thing actually on the ground is in this video! I love new drag and drive builds, and because I’

Sick Summer was last week and we’ve got video to share from Alex Taylor Racing and the Taylor Gang in general. They are visiting cool tracks, have relatively short routes, and some heavy hitters which means it is going to be a great week of Drag and Drive action to watch! Alex has already been talking about how tough this one started out, so lets see how she makes out by the end of Day 1. The post Sick Summer 2026 is HERE! Day One was Rough Alex and the Taylor Gang Take On Sick Summer Drag a

Rockingham Dragway’s Blood Warz presented by Carolina No Time is a heck of a race with tons of great racing action featuring all kinds of small tire classes. The Outlaw 275 class is clearly one of the baddest classes out there, and thanks to the gang at Spoold, we’ve got all of the head to head racing on video right here. There were other classes at Blood Warz 2026 as well, but this video is all about the bad boys in Outlaw 275. We’ve got more coming. Stay tuned. Video Description: We returne

(Words by Scott Liggett) Several years ago, Bangshift Chad and I started doing live reviews of movie car chases on social media. It was very much like what podcasts have become today. We would pick a movie’s chase scene and go over what we liked and didn’t like. We also stayed away from the ones that every gearhead knew and had seen eleventy jillion times. So, no Bullitt or Vanishing Point. The object was to bring light to ones that maybe you haven’t seen. I had been watching a bunch of chase s

(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

The cordless tool game is just that, a game, because several brands are made in the same factories and owned by the same companies which means that if the sales of one brand hurts sales of another that might not be good. This was the case with Hart Tools, the white and blue brand from Walmart, that took everyone by surprise when it had some tools that were better than the Red, Yellow, and Green brands. So when Hart sales started taking away from other house brands like Milwaukee, they decided th

Anyone who’s been around here much knows that we love chop tops and love videos showing tops being chopped. We’ve featured a ton of video from Bello’s Kustoms over the years, but they have been so busy that their YouTube channel has slowed down quite a bit. So when I saw this Mackey and Machine video, where they take the chop of a shoebox Ford and condense it down into just 15 minutes, I knew I had to watch it and share. These guys are good and do a nice job on this one for sure. It’s fun to wat

Every year at Hot Rod Power Tour the folks at American Powertrain partner with TREMEC to give away a free American Powertrain Transmission Kit for one lucky winner. It’s free to enter and you get tickets at both the American Powertrain and TREMEC booths, and you must be present to win so that’s always fun. There have been folks who’s names were called and weren’t there, just like this year! There were a couple of numbers called that were NOT there, but when the winner was finally on site he sure
