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


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!

LSFest 2021 Photos: Here Is Our Last LSFest Gallery From Bowling Green. See Every Photo Right Here!


LSFest 2021 Photos: Here Is Our Last LSFest Gallery From Bowling Green. See Every Photo Right Here!

(Photos by Wes Allison) This is it, our last photo gallery from LSFest 2021. It’s our final batch of photos from the show, where every single car is a potentially awesome LS Swap or customization. Since LSFest is the celebration of the LS engine, and anything you might want to put it in, it stands to reason that we would have a photo gallery that is nothing but ls swapped rides from the show at LSFest 2021. There are no shortage of killer installs at LSFest, in all kinds of rides you wouldn’t necessarily expect them in, along with all kinds of rides you would. But each one has something different so we decided we’d share some of the ones we spotted.

Holley’s LSFest is the biggest and baddest LS Party on the planet and we love being a part of it all. With covered grandstands, epic history, and killer staff, this is one place you just have to put on the list of places to visit. We dig it and cant’ wait to get back there again! Check out all the photos, and if you missed any of our previous galleries use the link below to check them all out.

Holley’s LSFest shows celebrate all that is LS engine related, along with their newer LT siblings, and that means not only all the late model cars and trucks that came with them from the factory but also every single swap you can imagine. And trust me, people imagine some pretty amazing things. Hell, there is a Dodge Daytona or Plymouth Superbird winged car here that is on a modern NASCAR chassis with an LS engine in it. No, seriously! It’s sitting in front of the QA1 booth looking all badass. It’s weird, and it’s cool, and it has an LS in it, which is all that matters.

Like I said, we’ll be bringing you all kinds of galleries from the event and they will include Drag Racing, Drifting, Autocross, Burnout Contest, Power Wheels Racing, and so much more. This is an event like none other and we can’t begin to tell you just how much we love it. This is the kind of event you want to be a part of. Check out the photos, and plan to be here next year!

Here is all the info from the event video description:

The Jim Harrington Bracket Nationals was named after Jim because of his love of the sport, the racers, and the competition. He gave so much to the sport it’s only fitting to name the races in his memory. This is the first year we’ve broadcast the event on MMTV, we are looking forward to adding this race to our stellar lineup of big dollar bracket events!

Photo Blast: More Epic Fords From The 2021 Carlisle Ford Nationals


Photo Blast: More Epic Fords From The 2021 Carlisle Ford Nationals

(Photos by Joe Grippo) –  We have to give big ups to our man Joe Grippo for sending us loads of great images from his personal field of dreams known as the 2021 Carlisle Ford Nationals. The event was sprawling, it was fun, it was packed with stuff to see, and it was in so many ways a great return to “normal” (for the most part). He pounded the ground with his camera and the result is that you have been able to see more of this show at BangShift than anywhere else. We may have nearly come to the end of his photo contributions but we love the fact that it’s just barely summer and huge shows like this are rocking all over the nation.

The spread of stuff to see here is great. From original GT40 race cars to a host of 1970s Mustangs, Mustang II examples, and Pintos, there’s a niche profiled for every Ford lover.

We’re done yapping, here’s the good stuff!

Omaha Autorama Car Show Photos Continue Right Here!


Omaha Autorama Car Show Photos Continue Right Here!

We told you we were going to share all of Scott’s photos from the Omaha Autorama, and here they are! If you missed any of our previous galleries, click the link below!

(Words and Photos by Scott Liggett) On the one year anniversary of Covid shutting down everything to “flatten the curve” we hit up the Omaha Autorama to get back into the reopening of car show season here in Nebraska. If you remember, we were at this show last year when everything was going crazy with the Covid virus running rampant. The governor of Nebraska called to have this show shut down the day we were there. It was a surreal experience last year and we were not able to go to another car show until October.

It’s a year later, Covid is getting under control. People are itching to get out and live again. The people who love classic and custom cars are no different. This year’s turn out was definitely proof of that. So, we donned our masks, grabbed our camera and headed down to CHI Heath Center in downtown Omaha, Nebraska to check out a bunch of beautiful automobiles.

This particular auto show has a lot of meaning to your author as this was the World of Wheels Omaha Autorama was the first custom car show I ever went to way back as a budding gearhead in the 1970’s. And, I continued to go to this show until the late 1980’s when my family moved to California. The Omaha Autorama officially kicks off the car show season in Nebraska, and we are hoping to go to a lot more this year. And, we will share those experiences with you here.

Southeast Gassers Last Blast: More Great Drag Racing Photos From Mooresville Dagway!


Southeast Gassers Last Blast: More Great Drag Racing Photos From Mooresville Dagway!

(Photos by David Whealon) – This is our last and finally installment of killer David Whealon action photos featuring the Southeast Gassers at Mooresville Dragway in North Carolina. The event drew and awesome crowd of spectators and a mondo crowd of gassers with dozens and dozens of the period correct screamers taking to the track. We love how the tracks are always decorated with the starting line pennants and other small touches to really give that retro-look that people love to see and be around.

You’ll see wheelies, burnouts, and more in this collection of photos. It should be mentioned that the Southeast Gassers have been one of the only traveling series moving around and running with fans in the stands at this point in 2020. That’s starting to change around the sport, but these guys and girls have been doing it a while.

You gotta love drag racers!
