Murder Nova’s LS/Procharged 1955 Chevy Maiden Voyage! This Thing Is ROWDY!

 


Murder Nova’s LS/Procharged 1955 Chevy Maiden Voyage! This Thing Is ROWDY!

I like Rowdy. Especially ProCharged rowdy. I know what that is like because I have a small block with one on it and the thing is just plain nasty, in all the right ways. Shawn and the rest of the Murder Nova gang have been working on this ’55 Chevy for a while now and every time they get something else done on it there seems to be a little more excitement about actually getting to drive it. Well, this is the video. The one where driving the ’55 actually happens! Shawn last drove this car 11 years ago, and while it was driven on the street a bit then, it was definitely not a “street car”.

Hang out with the guys as they build a set of headers for this thing, button up the rest of the little stuff, figure out why one hole isn’t firing, and then light this bad boy off and take it for a cruise around town. Remember, street car, so they are running this one on E85 straight from the pump.  I don’t know how good that E85 is that they are putting in, but it is certainly good enough for cruising around town. I can’t wait to see the first street hits and the fun they have while perfecting their shenaniganary.

Watch The American Door Slammer Nationals LIVE Right Here!


Watch The American Door Slammer Nationals LIVE Right Here!

I’ve driven dragsters, but my first love are door cars. They are fun, can be as quick as you want to go, and they just feel right. I do like the occasional roadster as well, but prefer those with the driver on one side or the other instead of sitting in the middle like a funny car or altered. Good thing for me that the American Door Slammer Nationals are LIVE this weekend thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. Any door car. Any left hand drive roadster. Any reason to have fun. This is a must watch event that you won’t want to miss this weekend.

Held at the famed Piedmont Dragway, this Loose Rocker Promotions event is one of the highlights of 2020. During a year where we have all been cooped up and have had so many cancelled events, this is one of those that feels really good to see happening before we get into the final weekends of racing for 2020. This is going to be a year to remember for sure, and whoever wins this event is going to remember it because of the real money they got to put into their pocket.

Watch all the racing LIVE today and tomorrow right here. And thanks again to MotorManiaTV for sharing this great action with the world for FREE!

SDBA Drag Boat Races Will Be LIVE Here On BANGshift Starting Sunday Morning!


SDBA Drag Boat Races Will Be LIVE Here On BANGshift Starting Sunday Morning!

That’s right folks, we’ve got more Southern Drag Boat Association racing coming to you live right here at BANGshift.com. We were live Saturday morning and will be live again Sunday morning around 9 am Central Time. We had an awesome time bringing you their Paris Texas event a few months ago and are happy to announce that their El Reno Oklahoma event this Saturday and Sunday will be LIVE in it’s entirety right here! We cannot stress enough just how cool it is to watch the drag boats hauling ass across the water. We’re talking 3 second 1/8 mile boats, and all kinds of combinations. Hydros, Jets, Flat bottoms, Pro Mods, Super Stock, and so much more. The racing action is fun, the scenery is cool, and the people are an absolute riot.

When we did the event in Paris, the welcome that we got from everyone at the SDBA, and the racers in general, was absolutely amazing. They treated us like family, fed us, welcomed us with open arms, and were so genuinely thrilled to have us on site that most were acting like kids in a candy store.

This weekend is supposed to be in the low 80’s, with great conditions for racing on the water, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of record breaking runs we might see. Tune in Saturday morning, at 8 am Central, as we kick off the racing action. You won’t want to miss it.

1320 Video’s Coverage From Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020 2.0 Starts Here!


1320 Video’s Coverage From Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020 2.0 Starts Here!

2020 has been one hell of a strange one, with events cancelled, quarantine’s happening, and people being ordered to stay at home. But thanks to the determination and fortitude of a few drag racers in Colorado, the only drive and drag event of 2020 happened not just once, but twice. We are of course talking about 1320Video Rocky Mountain Race Week, which is by far the best one ever conceived. Don’t get me wrong, we dig Drag Week and Mid-West Drags, but RMRW is where it is at. When Matt Frost announced that RMRW 2020 was in fact happening, and we all met in Colorado for a great week of road tripping and drag racing, there were many that thought it was amazing that he was able to pull it off. And we all understand why. But RMRW 2020 did happen, was epic, and went off smooth as silk. So when Hot Rod Magazine announced that Drag Week 2020 wouldn’t be happening, Matt jumped in to offer an event for those guys and gals that had already taken time off work and were ready for some racing vacation.

Just days after Drag Week was cancelled, Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020 2.0 was announced to be happening the same week and would be starting and ending in Tulsa with stops at Heartland Park Topeka, Thunder Valley Oklahoma, and SRCA in Great Bend Kansas. We streamed the every minute of racing action live, and then the guys at 1320Video made sure that all the on road and dramatic moments were caught so you could enjoy them. This was one epic adventure, and here are the 1320Video Daily Updates for the entire event.

New Project Alert! Motion Raceworks Kick Off The Drag Week/Rocky Mountain Race Week Extreme Blazer Project!

 


New Project Alert! Motion Raceworks Kick Off The Drag Week/Rocky Mountain Race Week Extreme Blazer Project!

Before too long everyone at Motion Raceworks is going to have a car ready to run on Rocky Mountain Race Week and Drag Week! They’ve been getting Novas and GTOs ready and now it’s time for the S10 contingent to get some more love. The guys at Motion have been building S10 parts for some time, but the are putting even more work into them and using this test bed to develop new parts, give tech lesson on their Tech Tuesday video series, and more. Plus it’s going to be rad and fun! What’s not to love about that? I mean isn’t that enough reason to build something? We think so, and so do they and since we have our own S1o Blazer project in the works it will be fun to have both of them out there running the Motion M on the side and having some wheelstanding fun at the drag strip.

In this video the guys introduce the project, argue about how much it weighs, how much it will weigh, talk about getting skinnier themselves, and overall have some fun tearing into the new project. I LOVE this video because most of it happened while Doug and Andy were on Rocky Mountain Race Week a few weeks ago and it gives you an awesome look into the other guys of Motion Race Works. I am super glad to call these dudes friends, have a great time traveling to events and shows with them, and can tell you that I laughed a bunch while watching this one because it reminds me of every time I’m with them.

So, watch the video, have fun, and be inspired!
