Watch the Woodward Dream Cruise video.

"The world's largest one-day automotive event runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. along Woodward Avenue, through nine host communities, from Ferndale to Pontiac."

If you're in the Detroit area Saturday make sure to check out the cruise and look for the StreetFire staff! We will be out there bringing you the latest coverage from this year's event.

"On Saturday, August 16, at 7:30 a.m., more than 100 GM classic and iconic vehicles will travel in parade formation up Woodward Avenue during the GM Century Cruise. Lead by an E85 ethanol powered Corvette Z06, cars and trucks from every era of GM’s history will travel from the foot of Woodward Avenue at the GM Global Headquarters at the Renaissance Center and cruise north through the heart of Detroit to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak and its surrounding suburbs. Upon arrival, these vehicles can be viewed at three locations: the Chevy Triangle and South Triangle in Birmingham, and Athens Coney Island in Royal Oak."

Inside Mission Control with Corvette Racing Team at 12 Hours of Sebring

Brought to you by IGotShotgun.

This is a fast-paced video with great visuals that also gives insider information on what goes on behind the scenes during the American LeMans Series endurance race held each year in Sebring, Florida. You see what goes on inside the Pit Box and told what happens up top.

Inside the Pit Box 'is' like mission control with monitors scanning the track as well as giving data on tire pressure, engine temperature, and etc. There is also a neat map that shows vehicle positions on the track. Lead mechanics from each team are positioned on top of the Pit Box watching the race and communicating with drivers about car performance and giving advice on vehicle adjustments.

A few race facts: Chevrolet Corvette C6.R made its debut in 2005 in the GT-1 class. The C5.R dominated the class the three years prior to the C6.R entry. 2008 C6.R came away with the GT1 victory this year giving Johnny O'Connell his seventh victory and setting a record of the most wins in race history.

For the sixth time in the last seven years, Corvette Racing took the GT1 class checkered flag at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring this past weekend.

The podium was represented well with both the No. 3 and No. 4 C6.R's in first and second. It was a good day for Corvette racing as they finished 8th and 10th overall for the event. With the exception of the No. 4 C6.R losing "the inner tripod joint on the right side," it was a clean race for the pair of bow ties.

I'm still pretty partial to Bad Boy Vette's version of the C6.R. There's something about the "TAKE NO PRISONERS" mentality that Jake (the skull) brought to the cars.

Check out some of the pictures that our friends at I GOT SHOTGUN took while hanging out with the Corvette Racing team.

Want Some Dirt?

Here is a video brought to you by Mix939.

I regularly BLOG about cars on the track so I thought it would be an appropriate time for a change. The guys at IGotShotgun have some great footage of the 2007 BAJA 500. What's more exciting than a lot of high horsepower offroad masterpieces ripping through the desert?
