Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, or Independents, none of it matters if you are a real car guy. In the video below you’ll see Jay Leno and President Joe Biden take a ride through SoCal in Joe’s 1967 Corvette Convertible. He’s had it since it was new, and has kept it despite being told he can’t drive it on public roads. I know there are a lot of guys that own 1967 Corvettes and don’t drive them, but if you watch this video I think you’ll agree that we should all be driving our old cars. This

If you aren’t familiar with Super Modified circle track cars, then you are missing out. This year at PRI, my buddy Bigun and I walked all around one drooling the whole time. While they do have some that are small block powered, the ones I love most are big block Chevrolet powered and that engine is leaned over and hanging as far off the left side of the car as the rules will allow. Getting all that weight low and inside makes these thing handle way better than they would otherwise. And in the vi

Here’s the Rocky Mountain Race Week 2026 Day Five video and boy is it a fun one. We’re talking on the road, on the track and more! Day Three AND Four were both at Pueblo Motorsports Park and then we hit the road for Great Bend. And after a full day or driving, trailer burnouts, bench racing, and squirt gun fights, we made it in time for some parking lot beers as well. The route was fun, with plenty of local interaction, and we enjoyed the break before a long day of racing on Friday. Check it all

We’re spoiled nowadays by mandrel bent tubing that is available for just about any project at any radius you can imagine. Some of it is really affordable too. But not always. And every shape and size you can imaging is out there, but that doesn’t always mean they are right for the project you are working on. If you are building an old school, traditional, hot rod or race car then you might want to do it the way they did back in the day anyway, and that’s where the sand bending method comes into

Here’s our first gallery of lost photos from Day 2 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. (Photos by Neal Sabo) When BANGshifter Neal Sabo said he was going to head down to Buckeye Skips 2025 Drag and Drive, to snap pictures and check out the cool stuff going on, we were like “Hell yeah!” He hit all three days, at Darana Dragway at Dragway 42, Quaker Dragway, and Kuhnle Mo

Shannon is back at the fab work on the FJ40, and man this thing is really coming along. In this installment we are sharing three videos that cover everything from the Vintage Air A/C, the Atlas Twin-Stick transfer case, the new custom grill, and more. There is a lot of fabrication going on in this project, so we hope it inspires you to get out there and start cutting and welding something on your ride this week. Shannon and Jess are moving right along on the FJ40 and things just keep getting be

I can’t wait to see Project 508 in person in Sweden in a few weeks! This project is in full swing and we are super excited about what is going on with this machine. We’ve got another couple videos to share below and will be bringing you more in the coming weeks as well. 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 8HP90 transmission bein

While Bonneville gets most of the attention in Land Speed Racing, because it clearly is home to the biggest and baddest land speed racing events of the year, most land speed racers will tell you that El Mirage is the most challenging and rewarding land speed racing venue anywhere. And if you have been there, you understand that. If you haven’t been there though, you’ll need to see it to believe it. Thankfully, you can watch this weekend’s SCTA races from El Mirage right here. Check out all the

Years and years ago I built a 1987 Toyota FJ-62 for my buddy Sean and I loved it. We painted it, lifted it, improved a bunch of suspension and drivetrain, and then he drove the hell out of it. It was awesome. They are like a miniature Suburban, or a big Four Runner. But these OG rides have bulletproof Toyota solid axles front and rear, are comfortable to haul you and your friends and the dog on the trails, and there are jillions of parts available for them. So it’s no wonder that Fred was excite

These things are siiiccckkkkk. Yes, I love the EG hatch a bit more than the S13, but that’s because I have one at home. This one here looks absolutely insane and I love it. But so does the S13 and both come from a show that might surprise some. This show is called the Elite Showcase, in Jakarta Indonesia, and it has become tradition for Larry to feature the top cars from the show. This EG Hatch won best of show, and when you see what is done to it you’ll understand why. This show is really somet

In Part 3 of the series, this beast went for its first test drive. Now it’s actually being put through its paces! Here’s the Part 4 video in the series, and that means actual testing! Yes, this thing is going down the road in this one with the body on it, and showing what it is made of on track as well. I love donor vehicle builds like this one. What I mean by that is when you buy a car, or parts from the wrecking yard, to build something new and exciting in a way it never was before. My 1956 Ch

We’ve shared plenty of Goodwood videos and livestreams over the years, but some of my favorites are those where former champions from different series battle it out side by side. Sometimes this is the only way you are ever going to see them on the same track at the same time and man it can be exciting. In the video below you’ll find legends from Le Mans, Formula 1, and the British Touring Car Championships going at it door handle to door handle in some of the best side by side racing that you’ll

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Matt Hartford (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the ninth of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. Brown went 3.788-seconds at 331.61 mph in his Matco Tools dragster, holding off Langdon’s 3.

Here’s the Rocky Mountain Race Week 2026 Day Four video and boy is it a fun one. We’re talking on the road, on the track and more! Day Three AND Four are both at Pueblo Motorsports Park and I can tell you that the action is hot, the drive was epic fun, and there are a lot of folks who have some catching up to do. The route was awesome, and once we got into the mountains the temps were in the mid 70’s instead of the mid 90’s and that meant everyone was having fun and in a good mood. The drive was

We’ve shared War in the Woods coverage for years, but over the past couple of years the racing at Brown County has gotten more and more famous and sketchier than ever. With some of the quickest and fastest small tire cars on the planet attending, it’s no wonder the limits of this race track are being tested each and every event. 2026 was no different, with our friends from 1320Video on site to capture all the action. We shared the livestream, but if you want just the best highlights and action t

In the mini truckin’ world, air suspension is king. While static drops and hydraulics certainly suspend a huge portion of the custom trucks you see at shows, the preferred adjustable suspension has been air ride for several decades. We won’t get into which is better, hydros or air, because we’re going to let Marcel and Jason discuss the history of air ride first. I currently own two vehicles on air ride, and have owned several others over the years, and I love it. If you want to make your vehicl

It’s time for more from Mecum, but this time instead of showing their video feed or highlights from the auction, we’re sharing video from our friend Chad Ehrlich at Nobody Else’s Auto and Nobody’s Show on YouTube. Chad was on site with friends, including Jim Wick, to walk around and see what’s up in the collector car world. If you aren’t familiar, Chad’s wrecking yard in Great Bend Kansas is one of the finest classic car and truck junkyards in the world. We were there just last week for Rocky Mo

Here’s a livestream replay from the Southeast Gassers Association’s third race of 2026 at Brainerd Motorsports Park. If you like traditional nose high gassers that still row the gears, still have names on the side, and still have backup girls, then this is the racing for you. Their whole mantra is to race like it’s 1967 and if you haven’t seen their races yet, you are going to want to grab a snack and a drink and click play. This is some awesome racing action. Video Description: Race three of

While Mike Finnegan has gotten famous over the past few years for his turbocharged Jet Boats, the truth is that Mike’s history in jet boat racing revolves around nitrous combos. His first really bad ass boat, built nearly entirely by himself in his little shop space in SoCal, featured a Pro Stock style Chevrolet with a nice toot of nitrous for good measure. This thing was fast. Way faster than most people will want to go on the water, that’s for sure. So when Mike decided that the 711 cubic inch

The request was simple enough: I needed a distributor ignition pickup for a small-block, Duraspark-era Ford. For you counter folks, that would be a Dorman F107. Should be a non-event: just go to the store, either buy the part or place the order and buy the part when it shows up. It shouldn’t warrant writing a story about at all, right? You must be new here. Welcome. Enjoy your stay and be sure to look around a bit. After working with the green-and-white guys and getting nowhere fast, I placed

Kil-Kare Raceway is home to some awesome events, including the 21st annual Ultimate 64 Big Money Bracket Races this weekend. This is one of the older events in the mid west and racers flock to this one to try and take home real money each and every year. What makes it special is that there are not only three big days of big money races, but also a bunch of separate shootouts. That’s always fun for racers and at this one there is something for everyone. Check it out live all weekend long thanks t

Maryland International Raceway is home to the King of the Creek, and this weekend’s spring event is as big and competitive as always. With classes for everyone, and some of the Mid-Atlantic’s hottest bracket racers, the competition is fierce and the payouts are there to motivate.
