AutoTrader Find: A Real Deal Original 1962 Pontiac Catalina Super Duty
Back in 1962 if you really wanted to dominate the action on the drag strip, this was the car you needed to have. A 421ci Super Duty Catalina with all of the lightweight aluminum body components, a hand built engine that while rated at 405hp really made more like 450hp and only 179 were produced. [...]
Watch the Most Spectacular Motorcycle Save We Have Ever Seen – Rider Thrown But Clings to Bike!
This is bar none, the craziest and most spectacular motorcycle save we have ever seen. The rider is Genki Hagata and the place is Infineon Raceway in California during a recent AMA race.

Watch John Hall’s Massive and Scary Pro Mod Crash From NMRA Bradenton Earlier This Year
Back in March, Pro Mod racer John Hall suffered a massive wreck during the NMRA race in Bradenton, Florida. Hall was there testing his nitrous Camaro in preparation for the then upcoming ADRL season opener in Houston, Texas. As you’ll see in this video, the car launches and covers the eighth-mile in 3.99 seconds and [...]
Watch a Fourth Gen Camaro Snap All 10 Wheel Studs and Lose Both Rear Wheels at the Strip!
Wheel hop is one of the most violent sensations that you can experience in a relatively stock car. Anyone who has owned a Mustang Cobra of the SN195 variety has probably lived through it on the street or the strip. We sure know that we have. Instead of a Mustang, this video features a fourth [...]

Drag racers in Europe are hard core because they have to be. As we understand the scene, there aren’t a lot (or any) tracks that run weekly test-n-tune sessions, grudge nights, or most of the normal junk we’re used to here in the USA. That being said, racers need to get the most out of [...]

Hanging out a car shows is a fun part of the hobby. 99% of people at the show are there for the same reason you are, which is to hang out, oogle cool cars, bench race wacky ideas, and enjoy the atmosphere. Then there is the other 1% which is there to act like numb-skulls. [...]
Cruise Gallery: The Mass. Cruisers Bass Pro Cruise – May 2012
I finally got my lazy ass back to the biggest and baddest cruise night on the East Coast of the USA. The Mass. Cruisers Association bi-monthly cruise night at the Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro, Massachusetts is alive and well with more than 2,000 cars packing in the massive lot last night. I patrolled the [...]

We have no idea what the hell happened to the driver of the truck in this video, if the steering failed, or if the guy just decided enough was enough and he was going to finally answer the question regarding the jumping capability of ancient Mercedes trucks. We also have no idea how the man [...]

The march of progress means that things do not stay the same for very long, especially in the automotive realm. Something that is the hot ticket one day is relegated to the scrap heap the next. Yesterday’s high tech is today’s door stop and the cycle repeats over and over again. Being the hot roddy [...]
Gearhead Guys You Should Know: Larry Minor

Racing and motorsports in general are both populated by lots of rich guys. That can be a bad thing because frankly, in our experience, a large percentage of rich guys are jerks. Larry Minor is certainly a rich guy, but he’s definitely not a jerk. In fact, he is one of the neatest horsepower junkies [...]

Watch an Ancient, Blown Cadillac Flathead Snarl Out 500hp on John Beck’s Dyno!
It seems as though we touched off a flathead horsepower war! Yesterday we ran video of a blown, Ardun headed Ford flattie making about 450hp on a dyno and then we got tipped off to a video from John Beck’s Pro Machine engine building shop in California with an even more pissed Caddie flathead. Beck’s [...]
