Remember Hot Wheels Tracks – Double Loop Record

Yes, you remember the plastic strips and setting up the loop for your Hot Wheels track and watching your favorite car do a loop (or sometimes just drop on it’s top) after you released it on the track.

You’ll love this video, even if you only had a Easy Bake Oven and didn’t have a Hot Wheels track set.

Tanner Foust has made a career out of driving little cars in a tight circle – (yawn).  Just kidding….the guy has some great skills…..so check out this life size Hot Wheel Double Loop.

Todd Carlson’s Awesome 2011 Mustang Runs 9′s And Knocks Down 23MPG – StangTV.com

This what a sleeper is suppose to look like…but WOW!!!

Todd Carlson’s Awesome 2011 Mustang Runs 9′s And Knocks Down 23MPG – StangTV.com.

The 2011+ Mustang platform has already proven itself to be a hell of a performer, both on the street and at the track. Livernois Motorsports customer Todd Carlson has one of the cleanest examples we’ve seen to date, outfitted with a number of upgrades including a Livernois Motorsports engine and 2.9L Whipple supercharger. The best part? Todd drives this car every chance he gets, except for in the rain.

San Francisco 49ers Coach to Drive C7 Pace Car at Indy 500

 

2014CorvetteStingrayIndyPaceCar06-mediumFor football players, there is no bigger event than the Super Bowl. Some men strive their entire lives to get to the Big Game, though just a select few have ever earned a Super Bowl title. San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh fell three points short of winning his Super Bowl bid this year, falling to his brother, John, who coached the Baltimore Ravens to victory.

indy-500But even being a Super Bowl loser has its perks. One of them is the privilege of driving the 2014 Corvette Stingray Pace Car at this year’s Indianapolis 500 event, becoming one of the first “civilians” to drive this brand new American icon.

It’s a bit of a homecoming for Jim Harbaugh, who quarterbacked for the Indianapolis Colts during the 1990s. In addition to being a fervent football city, Indianapolis has a rich racing history, including the iconic Indy 500. GM has had numerous cars pace the Indy 500, including the Corvette, but with hundreds of thousands of fans in attendance, this is the first time many of them will see a Corvette C7 up close and personal.

In fact, this is the 12th time the Corvette has paced the Indy 500, including appearances that dominated most of the past decade. But this arguably the biggest Corvette pace car event of them all, a radical redesign from the “safer” look of the Corvette C6. Painted in Laguna Blue, this stunning ‘Vette will certainly draw a lot of looks when it makes its pace car debut this Sunday.

A Shelby – TRUCK!!! Yeah!!! Shelby Raptor

Well there were the Cobras and the Mustangs, even a Lancer and an Omni, why not a Shelby pick up truck….and naturally it would be a Ford.

The Ford Rapture was a formidable 4 by 4 at it’s inception with gobs of horsepower and not a badly appointed interior.

But we expect more from a Shelby and you are going to get with this monster truck.

Yeah...It's a Shelby
