Frank will get these competitors set up to go “full send” with all the camera angles and audio you crave. Prepare yourself for 60 to 150 mph roll racing action.

Ported Blower Corvette Z06 vs. Tesla Model X Plaid – Street Hits

April 22nd, 2024

Tonight, we have competitors representing two contrasting styles of transportation. In the first lane, the car is loud and obnoxious. It is belching race gas fumes and slinging bits of burnt rubber everywhere. The exhaust note from this car is deafening. In the opposite lane is a vehicle that requires no traction optimizing burnout. There are no exhaust fumes and – most riveting – it makes virtually no sound. Let’s get a closer look at these sleds. The beautifully loud and menacing automobile is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. It’s a C7, or seventh generation, if you are curious. Under the Read More

Yee-Haw! It’s Uncle Jessie – Twin Turbo 1969 Ford F100

April 19th, 2024

The very mention of Uncle Jessie brings back images of the General Lee Mopar flattening the hills and straightening the curves. Well, this Uncle Jessie Ford F100 ain’t taking any quick curves but he will blister the asphalt in a straight line. Get ready for this rambunctious restomod purpose built for drag racing. Nothing fancy here. Uncle Jessie is a 1969 Ford F100 with an all-steel body (and glass) on a custom fab chassis. It’s a different story under the hood.

Down South Jukin’ – Texas Cash Days

April 17th, 2024

Speaking with an accent akin to my own, the iconic band known as Lynyrd Skynyrd said they were headed “Down South Jukin’ and looking for some peace of mind”. These crazy South Texas gearheads are after anything but peace. It’s pandemonium they seek in the form of a Mini Texas Cash Days (about a dozen cars) on the streets (of Mexico). Shall we investigate further? Walking past a turbo LS swapped BMW, our initial encounter is with a man in a Silverado pickup. He’s running a 408 cubic-inch V8 motor with aftermarket cylinder heads and a 98-millimeter turbocharger. The automatic Read More

ROADKILL – 1955 Chevy vs. 1931 Ford Model A – Drag Race

April 15th, 2024

Nothing has spurned more street races than the timeless battle of brand loyalty between Ford and Chevy. This video takes a look at a grudge match between a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1931 Ford Model A. Both vehicles have been dramatically altered for drag racing purposes. Since both cruisers have the potential to lay down 8-second quarter-mile passes, they are each considered pretty fast. Let’s have a closer look. With a ton of new parts installed, Finnegan takes to the interstate in his Chevy. After a pit stop at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, the Chevy Read More

Griffin is running a 370 cubic-inch GM overhead cam LS V8 engine. It’s professionally built by Hustler Read More

Vehicles must weigh more than 4,200-pounds to compete in the Heavyweight Class at Street Car Takeover (SCT) Denver. As you can imagine, this class will draw many trucks, SUVs and all-wheel drive vehicles that tend to be a bit viscous. Let’s take a look at the roster as the First Round begins.
