For St. Patricks Day, we were going to share a traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. But we can’t cook–and we didn’t know where to send your invitation. Instead, we opted to whip up something everyone can appreciate: a St. Patrick’s photo gallery of some of our favorite green hot rods from various shows

Spring is in the air—which means a couple things here at OnAllCylinders: Racing season is ramping up. And… It’s fashion season! You guys are totally into fashion, too, right!? Of course you are. Summit Racing doesn’t carry any Dolce & Gabbana or Christian Dior lines we were able to find, so we’re just going to

Summit Racing Pro Stock driver Greg Anderson continued his impressive start to the 2012 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing season, scoring a runner-up finish at Monday’s rain-delayed Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, FL.  Starting third, Anderson eliminated noted leaver Greg Stanfield and Rickie Jones in the early rounds Sunday before persistent showers forced NHRA

Take one oval dirt track; add in a few thousand gallons of water; top it off with a generous serving of speed, torque, and horsepower; and you’ve got the recipe for some serious mayhem.  Sounds like the perfect wake up call for the morning blahs! Grab a cup of coffee, watch the video (from our
