FREE Livestream: The Million Dollar Bracket Race Is LIVE Right Here!

Big Money Bracket Racing LIVE baby! There are a couple of “Million” Dollar bracket races now, but the original is still just referred to as “The Million” and you can watch it all live right here all weekend. There has never been a better time to be a bracket racer, or a bracket racing fan, as there are more races and more money on the line than ever before. And for fans there have never been more opportunities to watch than there are right now.

All week, and into the weekend, you’ll be able to watch the entire race thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. All the action will come to you each day starting at 10 am.

Video Description:

It’s been around for 26 years and has become the oldest continuous big money bracket race on the planet. The racers and fans call it the ‘OG Million’ because it’s the original million-dollar bracket race. With the move to the exceptional facility at South Georgia Motorsports Park, it’s one you don’t want to miss either in person or online!

What To Pack In Your Drag Week Or Race Week Trailer: Motion Raceworks Thought They Might Show Us How It’s Done

What To Pack In Your Drag Week Or Race Week Trailer: Motion Raceworks Thought They Might Show Us How It’s Done

With both Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 and Drag Week coming up in the next couple of weeks, there is a lot of thrashing going on around the country as folks get ready to go and race. And besides the building of cars, finishing of engines, and all that goes into making a car ready to both drive and race, there is then the loading of all the crap you have to haul in order to be self sufficient. Yes, you can stop and buy parts, yes you can stay in a hotel, yes you can ask strangers and fellow competitors for help, but you can’t have anyone carry anything you need to keep you or the car alive otherwise. That means you have to haul your own spares, tools, luggage, etc. regardless of what kind of vehicle you are in. For many folks that means a trailer is in order, and with a rule mandating a maximum trailer size of 4 feet by 8 feet, you have to be smart with what you bring and how you pack it.

Because of these challenges, there are a lot of different ideas on what makes the best Race Week trailer setup, but one thing that never changes is the need to pack 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. Here are some tips and tricks from Doug at Motion Raceworks on how to do it right, and make sure you bring the right things, as he packs his trailer for his 7 second Nova.

FREE LIVESTREAM: It’s About Time! SFG Brings Big Money Bracket Racing To The Upper Mid-West In A Big Way

Big applause for the SFG Promotions crew as they do something you almost never see, which is to bring big money bracket racing to the upper mid-west. This weekend’s racing at the SFG Promotions FTI 350 starts Thursday and is bringing big money racing to Cedar Falls Iowa’s Cedar Falls Motorsports Park. This is the third annual event, and is limited to just 350 entries so the money is for real and will go to one of these 350 entries. With $25,000 on the line Thursday, and $50,000 up for grabs both Friday and Saturday, someone is going to go home with a lot more money than when they left the house. Big thanks to FTI and SFG, as well as all the other sponsors, because this weekend is going to be great.

Here is the info from MotorManiaTV:

With almost no big money bracket races in the upper mid-west, the team at SFG Promotions struck a deal with the great folks at Cedar Falls Motorsports Park to bring the SFG brand to their pristine facility. This is the 3rd running of the event and is limited to 350 entries. Look for the best of the best to be on hand for another great weekend of racing! The action starts Thursday at noon central time.

This 1966 Chevrolet Nova Wagon Is LSA Swapped Goodness And Is Ready For Rocky Mountain Race Week Or Drag Week!

Okay, so it probably needs some shakedowns, because we don’t know the car personally, but man is this 1966 Nova wagon awesome. The listing for this one sounds like the good stuff has been used throughout the build, and man does it have the look. With a 6.2 with a new LSA supercharger on it, and a 6L90e transmission, this should be a car that really drives nice down the road AND hauls ass on the track. I laughed when I saw it because this would be the perfect Plan C or D for someone thrashing to get ready for Rocky Mountain Race Week 1.0 which starts in a couple weeks. Or, it’s the right car for someone to buy instead of thrashing to get something else done for Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 and Drag Week later in the year.

Stock And Super Stock Extravaganza: The Class Racer’s Revival Comes To St. Louis – WATCH HERE LIVE!

While big money bracket racing has been growing with leaps and bounds the past few years, the Stock Eliminator and Super Stock Eliminator racers have been finding themselves with less and less NHRA and IHRA races to compete in. Thankfully, events like the recent Southern Sportsman Showdown and this week’s Class Racer’s Revival, are throwing big prize money on the table for those same NHRA and IHRA Stock and Super Stock racers. This is wheels up, no delay box, muscle car drag racing at its finest and we can’t wait to see more events like this one pop up. Thanks to our friends at MotormaniaTV you can watch all the action LIVE and FREE this week starting this morning!

This is NOT your average big money bracket race, this is a Stock Eliminator and Super Stock only event that is paying $25,000 to win each day and will also feature a couple different shoot outs and consolation races.

NHRA and IHRA cars are legal and this is going to be an event to watch. All NHRA and IHRA rules will be in effect, cars from the same class (ie SS/BA vs SS/BA) will run heads up just like an NHRA event. This is going to be rad! Seriously. this is epic racing right here folks and I’m only sad I’m going to miss it! You’ll have to watch it online with me.

The New Year Nationals Are LIVE! The Final Race Of 2020 And The First Bracket Race Of The 2021 Season All In One!

2020 can suck it, but we are welcoming 2021 with open arms with hope that it will be everything 2020 wasn’t. But we can’t think of a better way to send 2020 packing and welcome 2021, than to hold a big money bracket race. Can you? Thankfully, our friends at MotorManiaTV are providing FREE live streaming video from this RTPromotions race at Palm Beach International Raceway. With $10,000 up for grabs each day, in each class, there are plenty of reasons for folks to have spent their New Years in Florida going for the cash.

With 2020 sucking so bad, what better way to end it than with a 64 car shootout win on Thursday night worth $5,000. And how about starting 2021 out with $10,000 or more in your pocket? I know I’d be racing if I was there. And with great Florida weather, there are a lot worse places to be on January 1. I know a lot of racers who are down in Florida thanking their lucky stars as freezing temps and big snow are hammering the folks back home.

Today is the final day, with $10,000 up for grabs in both Box and No Box, so lets see who takes it home and starts of 2021 the right way!

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.
