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

The trip to New England Dragway has proven to be a very strong outing for Greg Anderson and the HendickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro so far this weekend, and eliminations for the 13th annual NHRA New England Nationals haven’t even begun.

Jordan Vandergriff and the Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS Funny Car team waited until the final run of the fourth and final qualifying session of the NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway to set low elapsed time and, in doing so, the Funny Car rookie captured both his first career No. 1 qualifying award and second career NHRA Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge.

Jumping into a loaded Top Fuel field is never easy, but Will Smith couldn’t be more thrilled with the opportunity and he’s starting to make the most of it heading into this weekend’s 13th annual NHRA New England Nationals presented by bproauto at New England Dragway.

For two-time defending NHRA funny car champion Austin Prock, the final round of the inaugural NHRA Potomac Nationals presented by JEGS at Maryland International Raceway nearly came apart before he ever fired the engine.  After a routine servicing of the car following the semifinals, things appeared to unravel as the Tasca Racing team rolled their PPG Ford Mustang to the staging lanes for their first final-round appearance in 2026.   “It was chaotic. [The] parachute box falls off the righ

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.

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.

The program brings together race engineers, teams, manufacturers, and emerging engineering talent in a working forum focused on real-world motorsports performance and innovation. Rather than a traditional seminar, the symposium emphasizes engineering challenges, performance solut

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
