Since the market is flush with relatively inexpensive and portable LED options, why settle for heavy, expensive shop lights?
Here are some of our favorites from the Classic Motorsports workshop. What are you faves for the shop? Presented by CRC Industries.
One of the most American things to come out of Australia just might be the burnout contest, where the key is to—you guessed it—make the biggest and baddest burnout possible.
Perhaps in the name of science, or out of sheer curiosity, someone brought a few thermal imaging cameras to one such event, giving us not only a view through the smoke but also a glimpse of just how much abuse the tires go through.
The Titan Fuel Tanks Sidekick allows our Ford F-250 tow rig to carry extra fuel to the track without sacrificing any space in the bed—useful since we added a slide-in camper.
Not only that, but the Sidekick also bolts right in, includes grounding hardware—meaning you don’t have to remove it when you fill up—and comes with an easy-to-use siphon for simple fill-ups at the track. Presented by CRC Industries.
When you think of a Hollywood car chase, you probably picture a fastback Mustang plowing its way through San Francisco or a bright red Subaru Impreza WRX running from the police following a bank heist, but the car chase goes back to almost the beginning of film as we know it.
This is how the iconic trope has evolved over the past 100 years or so, from Buster Keaton dodging trains to Dominic Toretto outrunning a submarine in a Dodge Charger.
And while we’re all here, what’s your favorite car chase?

Ever wanted to sit and watch an hour or two of old-school car commercials from Japan? Apparently, you aren’t alone, as we came across this video that is just that: two full hours of Japanese car commercials from 1975-’85.

Inspired by artists Judy Onofrio and Jackson Pollack, Abby Hempy and her team created a budget homage of the iconic BMW art cars out of cast-off 528i for the $2000 Challenge.
After the Challenge, the team’s efforts were featured in the Wall Street Journal. The BMW was later auctioned off on eBay Motors for $1250, with half of the profit donated to the Superior School of Dance. Learn more about the $2000 Challenge at 2000challenge.com Presented by CRC Industries.
Regardless of the project car in question, these are the chemicals that we keep nearby in order to make the process just a little easier.
What are some of your favorite cleaners, degreasers, lubricants and penetrants? Presented by CRC Industries.
If you like the AW11-chassis MR2, gymkhana, mid-engined cars or just the noise of a Toyota 4AGE engine at full tilt, then this video is for you.
According to the video description, this MR2 was specially prepared to compete in the All Japan Gymkhana Series and was good for more than 200 horsepower from its upgraded 1.7-liter powerplant.

Want to turn heads at our Ultimate Track Car Challenge? Try showing up in an imported Japanese performance icon like the R32 GT-R—just like Gary Burris did last year.
What does it take to make a GT-R a capable track machine? We’ll let Gary explain, but it’s safe to say it doesn’t take much. Presented by CRC Industries.
Don’t let the “blasting” in the name make you think that media blasting is potentially harmful to bodywork. If done correctly, the process can easily clean away years of dirt, grime and old paint to reveal the true condition of the bodywork on your project.
In fact, media blasting is one of our go-to steps when it comes to restoring cars, like our 1960 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite. Presented by CRC Industries.
