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

If reigning NHRA Rookie of the Year Spencer Hyde had to pick a home track, the Canadian’s first choice would be Summit Motorsports Park, the site of this weekend’s fan-favorite 20th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. If Hyde’s tuner and team owner, Jim Head, had to select a home track, the Columbus, Ohio native would also absolutely pick the standout facility in Norwalk, which makes this weekend’s NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series event incredibly important for both on severa

One year ago, Mark Pawuk arrived at Summit Motorsports Park pursuing a victory that had eluded him throughout his NHRA career. After decades of racing at the famed Ohio facility, the longtime fan favorite finally captured his first NHRA national event win at his home track, a triumph that helped propel him to a second consecutive Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown championship. As the series returns to Norwalk this weekend for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, Pawuk hopes the place that sp

Former NHRA sportsman racer J.C. Beattie Jr.’s venture into Pro 632 presented by Mark Williams Enterprises in the Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series is finally showing the rewards for the team’s hard work over the last few seasons. Beattie recently switched to a new nitrous-fed powerplant under the hood scoop in his ATI Performance Products ’18 Camaro, and when you combine that with Beattie’s driving and Dave Hanlon’s tuning, you end up with a dominant start to the 2026 season.  Editor’s N

(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

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

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

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

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
