TX2K Day 1 From 1320Video: 200mph races, Kyle’s FIRST R8 passes, & MORE!


TX2K Day 1 From 1320Video: 200mph races, Kyle’s FIRST R8 passes, & MORE!

TX2K is a huge event nowadays, but I remember the early days when almost all of the coverage you’d see from the event was coming from 1320Video and most people hadn’t even heard of it. It’s one of Kyle’s favorite events of the year, and with good reason as they helped so much to make it the monster event that it is today. But I know that Kyle’s favorite thing about going to TX2K in 2021 was getting to roll race his newly finished twin turbo R8, because not only did the car look great and put a big smile on his face, but it also kicked ass at the event. It was cool to see just how well he did with it, and we’re super thankful for all the cool coverage he and the boys put together for this year.

Watch the video below and we’ll bring you the rest of them over the next couple of days.

In this first video you are going to see 200mph runs, Kyle Roll Racing his R8, and so much more. Enjoy.

How To Chop The Top On A Hot Rod: These Videos Have Us Inspired To Find Something To Cut Up!

A couple different BANGshifters actually put us onto Half Ass Kustoms on YouTube and their recently started series on chopping a top. In this case the willing victim happens to be a 1951 Dodge Crusader 4 Door, but the principles and tips and tricks would all work on pretty much anything. One thing I especially like about this chop, and the entire video series, is that neither is too fancy, but everything seems to be very effective. Now to be 100% honest, I’ve never chopped a top before. I’ve seen them done, but never been there for the whole process, so while I think I’ve got a good understanding on what needs to happen, I’m no expert. What’s cool is the fact that this particular project isn’t a show car, but rather a beater hot rod. The perfect kind to do a demo series on. If something doesn’t go quite right, he just cuts it back out and works it again. I like that, and I want to do this on my own round hot rod of some kind.

This series has 7 parts so far, and is all the way up to the filler application and finishing. There has been a lot of work that has gone into this one, and the commentary will make you laugh, but again I think you could do this yourself after watching this video and few others on YouTube.

Here are all 7 videos in the series.
