Funny Cars 2

Funny Cars 2

We're LOL at this compilation from Deecome although we're not sure it's funny so much as scary!

This video is full of near - and not so near- misses, big crashes, airborne cars, racing school buses, runaway tires and, of course, a lot of stupid people.

Get ready for some not-so-serious entertainment in Funny Cars 2.

For more idiots (and, of course, more crashes) see how well these bikers got on before they became good

New M3 ALMS Racer Breaks Cover

New M3 ALMS Racer Breaks Cover

rawky takes us behind the scenes to check out the progress of BMW's new M3 racer, destined for the ALMS (American Le Mans Series).

Question: how many engineers, mechanics and generally automotively-minded guys does it take to get the new M3 running smoothly on the track? Answer: a lot!

This car has been in development for over a year and we're sure that represents a lot of $$$ in R & D...but then no one ever said that's racing's cheap.

BAD NASCAR CRASH

View Video

CraigB uploads another look at the Michael McDowell wreck that occurred Friday during NASCAR qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway. McDowell, a relatively unknown rookie at the time of the accident, was qualifying for his second Sprint Cup Series race. There is no way a person walks away from a wreck like that unless it's on a Hollywood set, but, McDowell not only walked away, he finished 26th in NASCARS Samsung 500 Sunday.

A tip of the cap goes to engineers who continue to bring new safety technology to NASCAR. Since the death of Dale Earnhardt in 2001, safety restraints for drivers and barriers on race track walls that are stiff yet energy absorbent have been implemented.

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

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.

Honda S2000 Top Speed

View Video
Brought to you by 300zxttracer.

Sit back and listen to the Honda S2000 go through gear changes as the speedometer climbs. When you get to 1:10 and the car hits maximum speed, 281 km/h (174.61 mph), hold on tight and hope the driver of the transfer truck the S2000 roadster is approaching decides to stay in the slow lane.

Evilways Chevy Corvette C6 vs Dodge Charger SRT8

View VideoBrought to you by Evilways.

This Corvette walks the walk and talks the talk, and don't blink----
especially if you're driving a Dodge Charger SRT8. That the C6 out-muscled the Charger wasn't a difficult assumption, but that's not what makes this video a must see. The moment you click on the video you hear some pretty sweet muscle car music, ten seconds in there's a burnout accompanied by the same music, and of course there's the race.

1200hp Supra vs. Lambo LP640

View VideoThis is just the sickest Supra. It's unbelievable how quickly the Supra walks away from the LP640. I'm laughing at all the smack talk on the boards about how the owner of the LP640 got owned. The same guy owns both cars. LOL. Hopefully he uploads more videos!

A motorcycle holding up a car around the Nurburgring

I love fast cars and fast bikes, and have first hand experience of how the two differ. Indeed bikes are better at some things, worse at others, so when you mix cars and bikes on the track, both tend to get frustrated with the other. Here is a great video from the Nurburgring in Germany that illustrates this more clearly than any I've seen before. The Car overtakes the bike in the corners, the bike overtakes the car on the straights. They both take separate lines causing one to lift when normally it would stay flat. Great Video! Thank you w00sher for the upload!
