There are a lot of different motorsports, and all have their challenges, personalities, and history, but the guys and gals that go out and race off-road, on two wheels, in motorcycle enduro style races are some of the most hard core. When you see the kind of terrain and conditions that these folks are racing in during the 30th running of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo in Austria you will be blown away. While a bunch of riders start this race, only a handful will actually finish! And when you see the

Road racing classic cars on modern tracks, as they would have been raced in the past, is truly something special. Races like the Monaco Vintage Grand Prix and the Le Mans Classic Series really help drive home the fact that these vintage race cars still haul ass, are still sexy and beautiful, and people really want to watch them. They may not be as fast as modern racers when comparing lap times, but the racing is as close or closer than anything else you are going to see, and man do some of these

Truck and Tractor pulling, like most racing formats, have advanced dramatically in the last few years and that has made the competition at events even closer and closer. This weekend the first, of five, Fendt High Stakes Pulling Event is going down and that means some of the baddest truck and tractor pullers around are going to battle it out for cold hard cash. We’re talking $10,000 per night! The post The Inaugural Fendt High Stakes Pulling Event Kicks Off This Weekend! Night 1 and 2 – D

Desert off-road racing is some of my favorite off-road action, and having been to Ensenada for the BAJA 1000, the BAJA 500 is near and dear to my heart as well. If you dig desert off-road racing as much as we do, then you’ll dig this livestream from the 2026 Baja 500. There are several classes of competition that SCORE incorporates into both the BAJA 500 and 1000, and you’ll see several of them in the stream below as qualifying is underway for this historic race.

I own just two vehicles that are not Chevrolets, and those two are both Japanese imports. They are my 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max and my 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback. And while my plan is to build the Mighty Max into the mini truck I wish I could have built as a kid, the Honda has more sedate aspirations. It’s an EG Hatch, which makes it very desirable obviously, but it’s also a VX which was Honda’s hmileage model and that means I’m not doing anything to it but cleaning it up and making it look nic

For several years there have been people using custom bolt on adapters to mount dog dish hubcaps onto Weld Draglite wheels, and while it sounds weird, it really does work. The dog dish caps cover the holes in the wheels, and after a quick paint job they look like steelies but are way lighter. I dig the look, and have a project I am planning to outfit with a set. But there is more than one way to skin a cat, and this trick here is pretty cool, if a little more high tech than some others. Take a l

It’s time for the 2nd Formula Offroad race of the 2026 Season in Iceland and here’s the video coverage. If you haven’t watched this kind of racing before, you are in for a treat. It’s all big power, big noise, crash and burn, and high flying action in an environment unlike any other. If you are new around there then you might not know that we seriously dig Formula Off-Road racing here at BANGshift.com. This is high flying, loud, and intense racing that involves what look to be impossible hillcl

(Words by Jim McIlvaine, Photos by Kaleb Kelley) The third stop of the 2026 season of OPTIMA’s Ultimate Street Car series took competitors to their first West coast event at historic Willow Springs International Raceway. The full field was stacked with a variety of vehicles that spanned eight decades and competitive cars across a multitude of classes, including the After Dark Speed GTS Class, where Tony Prutch’s 2021 Corvette took home the class win, his first in the series. Prutch was aided in

You may not have heard of RJ Fab, but you’ve probably seen something they have built. When Rob Lindsay started RJ Fab a few decades ago I doubt he thought he’d build a brand that covered so many cool builds in so many different disciplines, but this guy can do it all. From Pro Mods to Pre-Runners, Pro Touring machines to custom UTVs, and everything in between, if it needs custom fabrication then Rob has got it handled. And man do they build some sexy stuff. If you like weld porn and quality with

Lil Gangstas just keeps on keeping on, and at Street Car Bragging Rights at Rockingham Dragway they not only put on a hell of a show, but also put up the biggest payout in LG history at $30,000 for the winner. That’s some serious cheddar and we love it. Index No Time racing, who would have thought it would end up where it is? This is another great video from 1320Video and we thank them for their continued passion and coverage. This video was filmed before the loss of our dear friend Kyle Loftis,

Every Southeast Gassers Association race is a flashback to the 1960’s, which is why everyone loves going to their races so much. These races are all about the showmanship and the fun and excitement that drag racing fans want to experience. With wheels up attitudes, and launches, these cars really do stand out from the crowd and offer fans something they won’t often see anywhere else. And with an insane number of different cars, with totally different combos, there is something for everyone. It’s

Cheap car and truck paint jobs have always been popular, whether in DIY stories in magazines, on the internet, or with companies like Earl Sheib and Maaco. Hell, Earl Sheib would paint any car for $19.95 when they first started in the late 1930’s and were still only charging $99.95 in the 1990’s! Maaco still offers cheap paint jobs, but the ultimate low buck spray job is going to come from home usually. That means that if you are DIYer then you need to pay attention to this one, but keep in mind

Going fast in slow cars, thrashing on junk, and jumping things that shouldn’t be jumped are always a good time and the folks at Hudson Speedway sure know it. For their Memorial Day Thrill Show this year they had all kinds of stuff going on, but one of those things was the Ramp Contest and boy is this one good. Participants, we hesitate to refer to them as racers, take whatever they’ve got and run it around the racetrack and through the figure 8 at two different steel ramps. The big one, and the

Mike and Joe are back at it, working on the Cadillac to get it on the road this year. There is a lot to do, but they keep chipping away at it and in the video below it’s time for the floors to come together. Finnegan’s Cadillac is arguably one of the most talked about drag and drive projects in recent years and while he’s been working on building his Lexus LC500 into a genuinely fast drag and drive car, it’s the Caddy that grabs everyone’s attention. We all know the project has had some setback

I love vintage RVs, and especially eyebrow Winnebago RV’s. I know several people who have built custom versions of these, and also love them when they are just a survivor or restoration. But this one here is really something special. Built to be the ultimate hot rod hauler ramp truck, this thing is really something special. They call it the Rampabago which is funny but fitting. Check it out in the photos below and let us know what you think. Video Description: The RAMPABAGO Winnebago Car Haule

Everyone loves a big elaborate custom build, but I have to say that I also really love the simple, quick, and budget friendly builds like this one from Puddin’s Fab Shop. I wish more of my unfinished projects had stayed simple and budget friendly so I could be driving more of them right now. This video below is all about the fun 1984 S10 pickup that Puddin recently bought and spent just three days making into something special. I totally approve, as the end result really is something that would

US 131 has been throwing one hell of a drag race with both the Mid West Drag Racing Series and Radial Outlaws Racing Series during the Shakedown at US131. Both sanctioning bodies on the grounds for one weekend of amazing action is really something special, and in the NC Pro Moder video below we’ve got Limited Drag Radial, Pro 275, and RvW action. I’ve raced there a few times and can tell you that this facility is really nice, in a beautiful setting, and draws lots of racers. We we’re excited to

It is kind of amazing how differently engine combos can sound at full song.You can take the same long block and top it with five different induction setups and get some very different sounding engines. A turbo combo will be amazingly powerful, but quiet in comparison to say the same engine but with a ProCharger. Change it to a roots blower, and it will sounds completely different again, and even different than a screw style blower. And forget about a carbureted naturally aspirated combo, because
