If you’re a fan of pre-1963 era customs and rat rods, Las Vegas is the place to be in April. The Orleans Hotel played host to this year’s Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, an annual event which drew more than 800 cars and 20,000 attendees. This one-of-a-kind show features some of the best hot-rodding creativity and ingenuity anywhere
The weather’s getting colder in many parts of the country, and the amount of car shows left are dwindling. With less shows to look forward to this year, we’re glad to look back at cars from earlier shows. The Chrysler Carlisle Nationals is one of them. The Chrysler Carlisle Nationals is a huge gathering of—you guessed
The NSRA (National Street Rod Association) rolled into Louisville, KY for its 46th annual Street Rod Nationals. The show is one of the larger and more well known national events, drawing around 11,000 pre-1986 vehicles from all over. While we like the spirit of including newer vehicles, we’ve most often identified street rods as pre-1970ish vehicles. Our friends at
The fight is officially on to see who can build the best junkyard racer. The guys from the popular web series Roadkill threw out a challenge to the Gas Monkey Garage team (as seen on Discovery’s Fast & Loud) to see who can build the best junkyard racer and take it 1,000 miles. It took a couple
It’s that time of the year when us Midwesterners begin to long for warmth and sunshine. We’ve got a long haul ahead of us (we haven’t even hit the first official day of winter yet!), so we thought we’d do a little California dreamin’ courtesy of our friends at BangShift. As you might know, nobody
Larry Larson became the first person to make a five-second pass in a street-legal vehicle, making a 5.95-second pass in his 1998 Chevy S10 Pro Mod truck at the Street Car Super Nationals in Las Vegas, NV. Officially, the pass was clocked at 5.95 seconds at 244.43 miles-per-hour. As you probably remember, Larson’s S10 became the fastest street-legal car in
A couple weeks ago, we told you about Reason #8, Larry Larson’s 1998 Chevy S10. Larson, along with BangShift’s Chad Reynolds, built the truck to not only compete in Hot Rod Drag Week, but set a new mark for fastest street-legal, street-driven vehicle. Mission accomplished. Larson’s Chevy S-10 blasted a 6.16-second pass at 219.81 miles-per-hour run during the
How will Larry Larson’s highly anticipated Pro Mod S10 do at Hot Rod Drag Week? What about defending Drag Week champ Tom Bailey and his 1969 Camaro? And what about guys like Jeff Lutz and Doug Cline? There’s always plenty of drama during Drag Week, which explains why the event has exploded in popularity. It also
[portfolio_slideshow id=27781] It’s roughly zero degrees here in Ohio. In Southern California, it’s—well, Southern California. While we’ve been staring mostly at snow plows and non-descript, road salt-covered SUVs and sedans, our friends over at BangShift spent the weekend looking at beautiful roadsters, customs, and classics of all kinds. As we’ve mentioned before, the BangShift crew
The guys at Bangshift must either: A) live in parallel universe with 50-hour days and 10-day weeks, or B) stay hooked to a continuous Red Bull I.V. drip. We can’t be certain which is the case, but we are certain that they’re superior at criss-crossing the country to cover the coolest shows, races, and events. And that includes
