Race Week 2.0 – Day Three – Tulsa, Oklahoma – Andy Doesn’t Get The Passes He Wants, But Still Leads!

Rocky Mountain Race Week is in the books, and we were traveling the route with all these folks so we could bring you the FREE livestream that we had going all week long. It was a week full of fun, adventures, carnage, and more, but even if you were there you wouldn’t have been able to see it all. There is that much going on! But thanks to the folks at Motion Raceworks we’ve got more cool video coverage from the entire week and we’re going to share it all with you one day at a time. They were on-site with their parts merch trailer and were helping people out with great stuff all week long. This is the third video from Day Three at Tulsa Raceway Park in Tulsa Oklahoma, which means lots of cars are racing but carnage is starting to become a problem for some racers. It’s hump day and that means there are a lot of people who need to be good today or their week will be over.

You have to finish the drives, the racing, AND stay consistent if you want the win and that is much harder than it might look, especially if you are in one of the faster classes.

Motion Raceworks Rocky Mountain Race Week Daily Coverage: Day One Action From Thunder Valley

Rocky Mountain Race Week is in the books, and we were traveling the route with all these folks so we could bring you the FREE livestream that we had going all week long. It was a week full of fun, adventures, carnage, and more, but even if you were there you wouldn’t have been able to see it all. There is that much going on! But thanks to the folks at Motion Raceworks we’ve got more cool video coverage from the entire week and we’re going to share it all with you one day at a time. They were on-site with their parts merch trailer and were helping people out with great stuff all week long. This is the first video from Day One at Thunder Valley in Noble Oklahoma, which means everyone is racing and there is no on road carnage or anything yet. This is the day where everyone thinks everything is great and that they can win this whole thing. Spirits are high. At least until the racing gets going.

Why? Because some of these poor folks are going to tear their stuff up before they ever get to leave the first track. The good news is that they have all night to work on them because we don’t leave for the next track until the next morning, and the drive isn’t horrible from Thunder Valley to the Texas Motorplex in Ennis. Plus, there is the World’s Largest Summit Racing Equipment store on the way and it’s full of great parts to fix most anything.

Between Summit and the Motion Raceworks trailer full of parts, there was no shortage of new stuff going on hot rods Sunday night.

FREE LIVE BRACKET RACING: The BTE Labor Day $250K Is On! The Richest Footbrake Purse In History!

It’s on like Donkey Kong this weekend, with big payouts at the Yellow Bullet Nationals and here at the BTE Labor Day $250K. Whether you like heads-up drag racing or the ultra-tight margins of victory you see at the big money bracket races, you’ll have plenty to watch this weekend. Right here, all weekend long, you’ll get to see some of the baddest bracket racers in the country ripping it up on the strip at Bristol’s Thunder Valley in search of the big money. And as the title says, there are no trans brakes or delay boxes here, this is all footbrake racing and that means tons of great door car action.

We’re excited to see just how all this pans out, but are just as excited to see a purse this big for footbrake racers. Last year’s race was worth $100k, and they stepped it up in a REALLY big way this year by going all the way to $250K. Man, this is going to be fun to watch.

That’s right folks, we’re SUPER excited to be bringing you 5 days of awesome bracket racing from The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the 2021 K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries. While the big show starts on Wednesday, we’ll be live on Tuesday afternoon for the American Race Cars, Todd’s Extreme Custom Paint, Dragster Shootout Race. The winner will take home a rolling American Race Cars 240″ Dragster chassis with a complete custom paint job by Todd’s. This is a big shootout for 32 cars and will be the perfect way to start off the weekend here in Vegas.

We will be live Tuesday afternoon, and then all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for all the racing action. Check out the flyer below for details on the payout and event prizes, but know that Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday racers will be going after $30,000 to win. Friday is the big money Million race which has a guaranteed purse of $250,000 to the winner regardless of entries. We’re pretty sure this race is going to be off the hook based on our last west coast race this year. Given the fact that all the heavy hitters are heading cross country for it as well, this promises to be one hell of an event.

Mid West Drag Racing Series Xtreme Texas Nationals LIVE Qualifying Starts Right Here!

Mid West Drag Racing Series Xtreme Texas Nationals LIVE Qualifying Starts Right Here!

While this year’s Mid West Drag Racing Series is kicking off their season in a big way, with a new TV package from MAVTV and streaming from MAVTVPlus, there will still be a little taste of the old at this event as the streaming coverage with MAV will not include Round 3 and 4 of qualifying on Saturday. Because of this the MWDRS has asked us to stream the remaining qualifying sessions and that means you’ll be able to watch for free from about 11 am central to the end of qualifying around 3 pm central today. This will be an abbreviated version of our normal coverage, because Chad is also announcing this event with Al Tucci, but we’ll bring you all the action before eliminations.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH FOR FREE RIGHT HERE ON BANGSHIFT.COM

If you are joining us for eliminations, you’ll have to go to MAVTVPLUS.COM to subscribe and watch.

We’re back with our last installment of killer photos from the 2021 February SoCal Quarantine Cruise.

Long Lost Film Of ’66 Winternationals Found! Sunday Eliminations With Packed Pomona Grandstands!

Long Lost Film Of ’66 Winternationals Found! Sunday Eliminations With Packed Pomona Grandstands!

(Film and Words by Darr Hawthorne ) In 1965 Santa brought me a new 16mm Bolex film camera, rather than using my dad’s cameras any-longer. The first opportunity I had to use it was on the Pomona Raceway starting line at the 1966 NHRA Winternationals, I’d been granted an NHRA photo/media credential with my best friend, at 14 years of age, lucky I know. It was my third time on the line at the Big Go West.

These ten minutes of original footage shows off some of the Top Fuel legends like the Greek, Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen and Tony Nancy and event winner Mike Snively in Roland Leong’s Hawaiian. Leong recently said of the win, “Thats my wagon (at the end of the video). Must be 1966 and yes we won.” Leong added, “ After that we were on our way out of town going on tour to our first date and a ’55 Chevy towing a ’55 Chevy racecar side swiped a short bridge (while) passing us and then served into us. Wagon ended up upside down, trailer broke off and went about 1/4 mile into the desert. Both ’55 Chevy’s ended up upside down. Thankfully NO ONE got hurt.” Adding, “Thats my story and I’m sticking to it”. 

1966 also presented a showcase to the early evolution from stock-bodied cars into nitro funny cars; Jack Chrisman’s red Comet, Gas Ronda’s Mustang, Maynard Rupp’s rear-engined Hemi-Powered Chevelle, Don Gay’s blown GTO, Steve Bovan’s altered wheelbase Nova, Joe Davis’ Colt 45 Mustang, Preston Honea’s Marlin and Bob Davis in the Jolly Green Giant Impala. These lumbering giants were relegated to the dragster classes, since NHRA had not yet recognized a true funny car class.

Along with them, was Super Stocker Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins in his ’66 Nova and event winner Shirley Shahan’s “Drag-on Lady” Plymouth Fury, the first woman to win a National Eliminator, at this Winternationals. 

There’s Big John Mazmanian and Stone Woods & Cook with a bunch of AA/Gas Supercharged monsters as well as some early Modified and Comp Eliminator cars too, in front of the packed Pomona Raceway grandstands. 

Grab a hot dog and a cold one for ten minutes in the Way Back machine for some long misplaced film from the ’66 Winternationals.

Holley Intergalactic Ford Fest 2020: Welcome To The Blue Oval’s Burndown!

Holley Intergalactic Ford Fest 2020: Welcome To The Blue Oval’s Burndown!

LS Fest came and went. MoParty had it’s first showing. That means that it’s time for Mustangs, for Cobras, for Broncos, and every other thing that wears the legacy of Henry Ford on it’s sleeve. Holley’s Ford Fest is on and going strong in Kentucky, and we’re on hand to take care of things. Chad is doing what Chad does best, which is to entertain crowds in the circle pit with his infectious delivery, and I’m running around shooting photos in-between trips to the swap meet to look for parts for two Mustangs that keep pestering me for attention. And it’s a good thing that the swap meet was there, because parts are comin’ home with me! But enough about that, you’re probably just here to see what was going on at the show. Well, I don’t blame you one bit. Only in it’s second year, the Intergalactic Ford Fest is proving once again to be wildly popular. You don’t suppose that it’s because Bigfoot V, the behemoth with the 10-foot-tall tires on it, was around and about, do you?

We’ve got plenty of photos coming, so just stay tuned…there’s lots of good stuff to come!

Be sure to click on a photo below to check out the first gallery from the 2020 Ford Fest!

LIVE Big Money Bracket Racing For Juniors! The Summer Blast Race Is A Junior Dragsters Only Event With Big Money On The Line.

LIVE Big Money Bracket Racing For Juniors! The Summer Blast Race Is A Junior Dragsters Only Event With Big Money On The Line.

For the last few years people have been talking about putting on big money bracket races just for the Jr. Dragster crowd, and to answer that call is The Summer Blast race at Beaver Springs Dragway where Jr. Dragster racers will be going after $10,000! Can you imagine winning $10,000 at 10 years old? Or even at 15? Hell no, but these kids are going for it. We’re talking big stakes, killer reaction times, and family for for the weekend. It’s The Summer Blast and all the action is live right here thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. Watch all the action below, and don’t forget to like and share and subscibe and ring the bell and rub your belly and whatever else they tell you to do for YouTube videos!

What I love about this race is that there is nothing else going down the track that the Jr. Dragster drivers have to play second fiddle to. This is their chance to be the stars, outside of the Jr. Finals and those kinds of points races. This is all about them, the way it should be, and I imagine the energy there is intense and fun. I bet the parent crew chiefs are feeling the pressure today too!

FREE LIVE STREAMING Drag Racing: The Xtreme Texas Nationals Featuring The Mid-West Drag Racing Series

Saturday: Racing scheduled for 6 P.M. Central!

No, your eyes didn’t deceive you, the name is accurate: the Summit Racing Equipment Mid-West Drag Racing Series, the former Mid-West Pro Mod Series, is throwing down big-time at Xtreme Raceway Park in Ferris, Texas and BangShift.com will be bringing you the action LIVE starting Friday afternoon! So, what’s with the name change? Well, it’s because more than just Pro Mods will be taking part! In addition to the howlers we’ve been showing you since day one, there is now a $20,000 to win Funny Car class that will battle it out for a hell of a pot. How many will be contesting for the cash? Hopefully more than a few…if there are more than 13 cars in the field, there’s money in the semi-finals and the quarters! X275 will also be on the grounds, running the event as a 2020 points race. Dragsters, Top Sportsman, Outlaw Big Tire (no time) and Junior Dragsers will be running as well.

BangShiftChad will be our man on the ground for the event, so tune in starting Friday evening for the noise from the south. Keith Haney and the crew are back in business, and business is GOOD!
