Drag Racing on Ice

March 12th, 2025

Who would ever dream of drag racing in the middle of a frozen lake? Much less holding a drag racing event on the same slippery surface? Well, the gearheads in Merril, Wisconsin have been getting down like this for more than 70-years with no end in sight. Shall we tag along with the 1320 crew as they check out some of the cool competitors? First up is a familiar combo. Competing in the Outlaw and Open-Door Slammer Classes, this pre-war Ford has been upgraded with a twin turbocharged LS motor. It’s capable of making 960whp 1,005 lb.-ft. of toque – Read More

Full Size Truck Shootout – No Cars Allowed

January 15th, 2025

The 1320 Video crew ran across a Trucks Only Drag Race in Alabama. That’s how we roll in the deep south. The venue is a converted airstrip called Jake’s Drag Strip and the competition is stiff. This will be eight-mile, No Prep with water burnouts. A Pro Tree will be in use.  Classes include N/A Street, Power Adder Street, Hard Tire and Extreme Street. Let’s take a look at some of this pig iron. The first subject is a RAM 4WD long bed with a fully built 6.1-liter Cummins diesel, compound turbochargers and two kits of nitrous. This beast is Read More

Duel in the Desert – Mojave Cash Days

October 28th, 2024

It’s sandy, hot, slick and it gets cold at night. It’s the desert and these cats are set to throwdown on the streets in this unpredictable environment. Hold on to your hats – it’s about to be pandemonium on these desert thoroughfares as Mojave Cash Days roll into town. Hers’s the scenario: We’ve got 20 small tire street monsters (and approximately 300 spectators) converged on a single two-lane strip of blacktop. The buy-in is $300 and it’s winner-take-all. Time to see what shakes out. In the first contest, we have Boogeyman (Gen 3 F-Body Chevy Camaro) vs Moneytrain in his Read More

1320 Video Takes on Powercruise in Modified Corvette ZR1

October 1st, 2024

First things first: let’s talk Powercruise. This unique event comes to the USA from Australia. The feature of this affair is a freestyle roll racing opportunity on an oval shaped track with long straightaways. It’s sort of a run-what-you-brung situation with some (500) pretty capable cars in the mix. Here it goes. The focal point of the video is the Corvette ZR1 owned by 1320 Video. Built by CT Performance, this Chevy is more than a handful (affectionately called SPNK BNK). Modifications to the 1320 Corvette include a ported blower and snout, an E85 tune, and an RPM built manual Read More

Alaska No Prep Shootout

September 11th, 2024

What would one expect to find amid the panoramic backdrops of the great Alaskan wilderness? A No Prep Drag Race, right? That’s precisely what the 1320 Video crew stumbled upon as they frolicked among the giant Kodiak bear, plentiful moose and beautiful caribou.

The entry fee is $100 and typical No Prep rules apply. The first encounter is an all-wheel drive 1989 Honda CRX with a turbocharged 2.4-liter motor. With the ability to produce 700hp Read More

Texas Mini Cash Days – 10 Car Street Digs

May 13th, 2024

South of the border is where the action is for this clip from 1320 Video. A field of 10 dedicated street racers have made the trip to see who can claim cash and bragging rights in a single elimination shootout. Let’s get a look at some of this pig iron. Right outta the gate, we meet El Gringo. This is an all-wheel drive Chevy Silverado with a pair of Garrett turbochargers feeding a 7.0-liter LS motor. The owner is claiming 1,400 to 1,500hp and – yes – that is a rusty wrap. Next up, we have a “King Ranch” Ford Read More

KC Cash Days – Fifteen Car Field

April 30th, 2024

This one is for Toby Vitatoe – the king of Kansas City street racing. Toby passed away a few years ago but his memory lives on in the heart of these competitors. With that in mind, let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road – in Mexico. Immediately following the driver’s meeting, the lone Tesla P100 D Plaid was matched up against Carole Baskin in his Ford F-150 with a big block motor and twin turbochargers. The all-wheel drive (electric) Tesla took the early advantage and won by a car length over the rear-wheel drive pickup that failed 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. That massive mill is a 585 cubic-inch Ford big block with a pair of 80-millimeter turbochargers. Yep, that’s an Read More
