FE Race And Reunion Photos: Muscle Cars, Trucks, Gassers, And More From Beaver Springs

Joe Grippo does a fine job finding all the cool events to visit and shoot photos at. Of course for anyone that likes engines, the unique and cool Ford FE is one that deserves some cool attention. Thankfully this cool event at Beaver Springs Dragway celebrates all that is FE so check out Joe’s write-up and photos below.

(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) The FE Ford engine has been obviously out of production for, what, 40 plus years? Yet there is a group the hardest of hardcore devotees who once a year gather in the hills of Central Pennsylvania at a quaint little dragstrip, to celebrate all variants of this famed FoMoCo mill. From 352’s to 390’s to the mighty Cobra Jets and Cammers, plus all the other displacements were in the house, at Beaver Springs Dragway.

The FE’s were smoking the rear tires and yanking the fronts skyward for like 3 days straight! Big mid-century 60’s muscle, Fairlane’s, Mustangs and trucks filled the pits and the show field right alongside a bunch of late model Fords with the venerable big block transplanted into them. It’s truly Nirvana for Ford fanatics, it is a sight to behold. A few Ford legends who made their bones with the FE Ford were in the house and holding court. Ohio George Montgomery, Al Joniec and John Vermeersch among others were telling stories and answering questions non-stop. The swap meet was robust with blocks, heads, intakes, cranks and everything else FE related just waiting to get scarfed up for the next build.

If you even remotely dig Fords and if you own an FE, you owe it to yourself to be on the Beaver property in 2022 for the 10th (TENTH!) annual FE Race and Reunion. You will not regret it, but don’t take our word for it, check out the galleries and see for yourself.

Motion Raceworks Rocky Mountain Race Week Daily Coverage: Day One Action From Thunder Valley

Rocky Mountain Race Week is in the books, and we were traveling the route with all these folks so we could bring you the FREE livestream that we had going all week long. It was a week full of fun, adventures, carnage, and more, but even if you were there you wouldn’t have been able to see it all. There is that much going on! But thanks to the folks at Motion Raceworks we’ve got more cool video coverage from the entire week and we’re going to share it all with you one day at a time. They were on-site with their parts merch trailer and were helping people out with great stuff all week long. This is the first video from Day One at Thunder Valley in Noble Oklahoma, which means everyone is racing and there is no on road carnage or anything yet. This is the day where everyone thinks everything is great and that they can win this whole thing. Spirits are high. At least until the racing gets going.

Why? Because some of these poor folks are going to tear their stuff up before they ever get to leave the first track. The good news is that they have all night to work on them because we don’t leave for the next track until the next morning, and the drive isn’t horrible from Thunder Valley to the Texas Motorplex in Ennis. Plus, there is the World’s Largest Summit Racing Equipment store on the way and it’s full of great parts to fix most anything.

Between Summit and the Motion Raceworks trailer full of parts, there was no shortage of new stuff going on hot rods Sunday night.

Class Racer Nationals Photos: Small Tire Drag Racers And More With The Wheels In The Air!

(Words by Joe Grippo, Photos by Dan Grippo) A new trend in drag racing and some other motorsports in the last few years has been racers trying their hand and promoting their own races. Most have been successful, and they have been able to really tailor these events to a particular audience. These niche races are proving to be very popular. NHRA Sportsman racers have had a few specialized events to choose from recently throughout the country. Stock Eliminator racer Ken Miele is the latest to jump into the promotion waters by putting on the Class Racer Nationals at picturesque Numidia Raceway in the hills of central Pennsylvania over the weekend.

The very loose definition of a Class Racer is basically a driver who competes in the Stock and Super Stock Eliminator categories, which are highly scienced out mostly vintage and modern muscle cars with pretty strict adherence to the rule book and utilizing many factory spec parts. These cars and trucks are classified into a variety of automatic and stick shift classes by shipping weight and factored horsepower. These were the only classes held at the race and that was all that was needed.

Beautifully detailed machines doing big burnouts and massive wheelstands are the norm for these racers and they did not disappoint. In this drag racing fanatic’s warped mind, stockers and super stockers are the greatest things going down the strip today. And while that’s just this writer’s opinion, look at the gallery my brother Dan Grippo captured and tell me I’m wrong.

B. FORCE, DEJORIA, ANDERSON AND GLADSTONE TAKE NO. 1 SPOTS AT NHRA FOUR-WIDE NATIONALS AT ZMAX DURING Q1

May 15, 2021 in Uncategorized | Permalink

Here’s the results of Pro Qualifying during the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte Friday night. NHRA sent out the results, including provisional number one qualifiers, and we’ll see if they can hang one after Saturday qualifying as well. Here is all the info from NHRA.

CHARLOTTE – A pair of women ruled qualifying on Friday at zMAX Dragway, as Brittany Force and Alexis DeJoria powered to the provisional No. 1 spot in Top Fuel and Funny Car, respectively, during the opening round of qualifying at the NGK NTK NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte. 

Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Joey Gladstone (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are also provisional No. 1 qualifiers in their respective categories at the fourth race of the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season. Qualifying continues on Saturday and zMAX Dragway will be able to operate at full capacity. After an executive order from Gov. Roy Cooper on Friday, grandstand limitations were lifted, allowing fans to return to zMAX Dragway without limitation.

Force put on a show under the lights on Friday in her 11,000-horsepower Flav-R-Pac dragster, going 3.662-seconds at 333.08 mph to make the quickest and fastest runs in zMAX Dragway history. Force, who also owns both ends of the national record, is in line to grab her second No. 1 qualifier of the 2021 season and 22nd in her career.

“I’m just pumped after a run like that,” Force said. “The four-wide race can be tough and tricky, and I just have to keep my focus. (Crew chief David) Grubnic said we were going to have a killer run, and Grubnic, Mac Savage, and all of my guys, I’m just so proud of them.”

Defending three-time world champ Steve Torrence is second, following Force’s blast with a pass of 3.683 at 316.97. Leah Pruett rounds out the top three after going 3.718 at 324.59. Six drivers made three-second runs under the lights on Friday.

After struggling in Atlanta, DeJoria redeemed herself in a major way in Funny Car, going 3.930 at 301.74 in her 11,000-horsepower ROKit Toyota Camry. If it holds, it would give DeJoria her first No. 1 qualifier this season and fifth in her career. DeJoria was the only driver in the class to make a three-second run on Friday, with drivers getting two more chances on Saturday. DeJoria will look to build on her run as well, while Mike McIntire is currently qualified second after his solid run of 4.019 at 313.15. Dave Richards is in the third spot. DeJoria and McIntire were the only drivers to make 300-mph runs as well.

Pro Stock points leader Anderson raced to the provisional No. 1 spot with a run of 6.524 at 210.50 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. Should it hold, it would continue Anderson’s torrid start to the 2021 campaign and give him four straight No. 1 qualifiers this season and 110 in his standout career. Anderson, a four-time world champ, is also after his third win of the season in four races. Aaron Stanfield was a spot behind with a solid pass of 6.533 at 210.67 and Kyle Koretsky is currently third after going 6.535 at 210.87.

Joey Gladstone put on an impressive display in Pro Stock Motorcycle and is in line for his first career No. 1 qualifier. He went a career-best 6.763 at 198.58 on his Precision Service Equipment Suzuki, setting the track record at zMAX Dragway and giving him a great chance for his first top spot. Defending world champ and points leader Matt Smith broke the track speed record en route to the No. 2 spot, going 6.778 at 201.10. It also gives him the fifth-fastest run in Pro Stock Motorcycle history. Eddie Krawiec was a spot behind after his run of 6.828 at 201.07.

In E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series action, points leader Justin Bond is the current No. 1 qualifier after his run of 5.631 at 253.75. It is the second-quickest pass in class history. 

Qualifying continues Saturday at the NGK NTK NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at 1:15 p.m. ET.

We’ve Got All The Door Car Drag Racing Action Photos You Can Stand! Small Tire, Big Tire, Radials, And No Time From The Street Car Super Nationals

(Photos by Wes Allison) This should have been called the Street Wheelstanding Car Super Nationals because everything from Pro Mod to Radials to bracket cars were running with the wheels high in the air and putting on a hell of a show for the fans in Las Vegas. While we were on limited spectator admission, there is plenty of room in Las Vegas so fans still got to come see a great show in a safe environment where they could easily socially distance. Unfortunately for a few racers there was plenty of carnage and drama happening on the race track and that meant winning this event was not only about being quick, but also about having a combo that can survive the entire weekend. Check out all the photos we’ve got, and if you missed any of our previous Street Car Super Nationals galleries please click the link below to see them all.

With perfect weather, and racers who haven’t been able to race in many western states, the atmosphere in Las Vegas was even more electric than normal. This is a year to remember and one that the competitors and winners will likely not forget. This is an event that will go down in history as it is all about 2020.

B. Torrence, Capps, Anderson & Krawiec Lead Qualifying For NHRA Finals At Vegas!

November 1, 2020 in Uncategorized | Permalink

(Photos by Mike & Jeff Burghardt and Timothy Heather – Words courtesy of NHRA Communications) – Billy and Steve Torrence powered to the top two spots in Top Fuel on Saturday during qualifying at the 20th annual Dodge NHRA Finals presented by Pennzoil at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, bringing S. Torrence a step closer to his third straight world championship. 

 

Ron Capps (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also No. 1 qualifiers at the Dodge NHRA Finals presented by Pennzoil, which is the final race of the 2020 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season. 

Torrence went 3.728-seconds at 325.30 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Capco Contractors dragster, with his son, Steve, a step behind at 3.731 at 330.39. It is B. Torrence’s third career No. 1 qualifier and first this season. Should S. Torrence win his first-round matchup on Sunday against Kebin Kinsley, he will claim a Top Fuel world title for the third consecutive year. He clinched his first world title at Las Vegas two years ago and now has an opportunity to do it again in 2020 to keep his incredible run going.

“I saw my old man keep on rolling down through there, so I knew it was on a good run, but we’ll just go out and do what we need to do tomorrow,” S. Torrence said. “We need to go rounds. We don’t need to worry about what the points are and who we have. We just need to go rounds tomorrow.” 

 

Doug Kalitta qualified third with a run of 3.746 at 327.74. To claim his first world championship, he’ll need to win the race and have S. Torrence lose in the opening round. 

In Funny Car, Ron Capps picked up his first No. 1 qualifier of 2020 and 25th in his career, powering to the top spot with a run of 3.902 at 327.98 in his 11,000-horsepower NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. He will take on rookie Chris Morel (above) in the first round of eliminations as Don Schumacher Racing seeks its 14th straight victory in the class and a sweep of the 2020 season.  

 

His strong run bumped teammate Matt Hagan to the second spot, as the points leader looks to claim his third career world title. Hagan ran 3.911 at 327.82 and he’ll meet Cruz Pedregon to start raceday. He leads DSR teammates Tommy Johnson Jr. and Jack Beckman by 45 and 52 points, respectively, heading into eliminations. Johnson qualified fourth with a 3.915 at 319.14 and Beckman starts raceday from the 10th position. With the race being a points-and-a-half scenario, a round win is worth 30 points, meaning Johnson or Beckman would have to finish two rounds ahead of Hagan to win a title. 

 

The Summit Racing Equipment/KB Racing Pro Stock team of Greg Anderson and Jason Line impressed during qualifying on Saturday, with Anderson taking the top spot and Line, who has championship aspirations in the final race of his Pro Stock career, following in second. Anderson went 6.601 at 206.73 in his Chevrolet Camaro to claim his second No. 1 qualifier this season and 106th in his standout career. He’s also an eight-time Vegas winner and opens eliminations against Aaron Strong.  

 

Line, meanwhile, will head into race day second after going 6.635 at 206.39. That brings him to within 47 points of leader and defending world champ Erica Enders heading into eliminations. Enders struggled on Saturday and qualified 12th, and will take on Elite Motorsports teammate Alex Laughlin in the first round as she seeks back-to-back world titles. The third championship contender, Jeg Coughlin Jr., qualified ninth and is 55 points behind Enders heading into Sunday, which is also his final race in his storied Pro Stock career. 

 

Following his win last weekend, Eddie Krawiec continues to stay hot in Pro Stock Motorcycle, vaulting to the No. 1 spot with a track record run of 6.818 at 198.12 on his Harley-Davidson FXDR. It is Krawiec’s second No. 1 qualifier — his first came at the opening race of the season — and the 48th in his career. The victory last weekend in Houston kept him in championship contention and he’ll open eliminations against Cory Reed, trailing leader Matt Smith by 80 points.  

Smith (above) qualified second with a 6.821 at 198.38 and he’ll take on Krawiec’s teammate, three-time champion Angelle Sampey, in the first round. Joey Gladstone qualified third with a 6.893 at 195.56. Scotty Pollacheck, who is 86 points behind teammate Smith, remains in contention as well after taking the fourth spot with a run of 6.900 at 196.04.  

In the E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by J&A Service, Khalid alBalooshi qualified No. 1 for the third time in 2020, going 5.755 at 248.34 in his ProCharger-powered Bahrain 1 Racing Camaro. Points leader Brandon Snider took the second spot at the race, which is presented by Strutmasters.com, with a run of 5.766 at 248.71. He’ll open eliminations against Brandon Pesz and started the weekend with a 26-point lead over defending world champion Stevie “Fast” Jackson, who qualified fifth. Should both Snider and Jackson win their first-round matchups, they would meet in the second round with the winner getting a bye to the final round. 

 

Eliminations for the Dodge NHRA Finals presented by Pennzoil begin at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday. Live television coverage, with host Brian Lohnes, starts at 4 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1 (FS1).

No Mercy 11 Action Photo Coverage: More Awesome Cars, Awesome Launches, and Awesome Images From SGMP

(Photos by Wes Allison) – It does not take a doctorate degree to figure out why people love drag radial style drag racing. Simply flip through these photos and you will see a load of killer cars that look…LIKE CARS. From Tommy Youman’s Pontiac GTO to Shane Stack’s Monte Carlo and a host of others, this are identifiable cars and they are all that plus they’re haul ass fast.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the original running of the Sweet 16 was pushed back to effectively butt right up against No Mercy so it was dubbed “Duck Week” at SGMP and all indications are that a good time was had by all. Lots of competitors stayed to run both races and by doing that, got a lot of runs in through test sessions and qualifying for the two events.

We were there for the No Mercy portion of the extravaganza and as you’ll see here, the cars were flying, the track was prepped, and drag radial fans sure got their money’s worth from the stands. Good stuff!

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.

The 2nd Annual Working Man’s Ten Grand Race Is On And LIVE Right Now! $10,000 To Win Saturday

August 29, 2020 in Uncategorized | Permalink

The 2nd Annual Working Man’s Ten Grand Race $10,000 To Win Sunday

The Working Man’s Ten Grand is a great drag racing event. In it’s second year, this event has been moved to Kil-Kare Raceway just outside of Dayton, Ohio and is drawing the best and the brightest this weekend to see who can throw down and take home today’s $10,000 winner’s prize. In a time when a few races a year have hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars on the line, the $10,000 to $50,000 bracket races sometimes don’t grab the public’s attention as much, but $10,000 is no chump change. I remember when the biggest hitters in the bracket racing world first started making over $100,000 per year by winning $10,000 – $25,000 races throughout the year. You have to remember, that in the bracket racing world it is a crap shoot as to whether or not the pot gets split and when. Some guys may split with 8 cars left and the winner only get’s $5,000 or something. There is a lot going on besides all the talent and action on the race track and that makes it interesting that’s for sure.
