TEMPLE OF SPEED>> ORIGINAL AUTOBAHN RACING: AVUS
Speed Month on Speedhunters just wouldn’t be complete without a look at the one and only German race track built for the purpose of all-out top speed: Avus. This is a temple of speed which will forever be linked with the pre-WWII era Auto Union and Mercedes Silver Arrows streamline Grand Prix cars and even [...]
EVENT>>FD SONOMA WRAP UP
Although there’s nothing funner than traveling around shooting pictures of cool cars, I have to admit I’m looking forward to the break I’ll have this weekend after five consecutive weeks of events. Perhaps my Miata will get a much-needed wash? Maybe a drive in the hills? Anyways, before the end of the week, I wanted [...]
RANDOM SNAP>> PROJECT ZED
We haven't seen a lot of drag racing cars on Speedhunters, but still it is a vital part of the car community. So I thought I would pay tribute by showing you this new car that was just finished in the UK. It belongs to John Bradshaw who became famous with his Skyline R33 GTST [...]
More...GALLERY>>RUNNING THE TEXAS MILE
When it comes to high speed events in North America, the hallowed salt at Bonneville is what comes to most people's minds, or maybe the Silver State Classic held on an empty stretch of highway in Nevada. Besides those storied events, there's another top speed gathering which has been gaining popularity this decade – the [...]
CAR FEATURE>> TOP SECRET COMPETIZIONE R – THE REBIRTH
At the beginning of this month I picked a very special Skyline GT-R to feature for the current Speed theme we are having here on Speedhunters. When Gio, the owner, commissioned Top Secret with creating his ultimate GT-R, speed and monster power were at the top of his agenda. He had envisioned the car as a daily [...]
CAR FEATURE>>ROYAL PURPLE #998 STREAMLINER
The engines have stopped and silence returns to the Salt Flats once again, at least until the next round of speed and madness spills off Interstate 80 on the Utah/Nevada Stateline. Actually madness is an inappropriate word, at least in the case of Nish Motorsport. Certainly it is the case that many of the people [...]
EVENT>> MSC CHALLENGE RD.8 – PT2
I'm glad the first part of the MSC Round 8 coverage went down well, so I've compiled another selection of crazy drift cars from Honjyo circuit. These grassroots events ooze the right kind of atmosphere, unlike more professional oriented series, which is precisely why I enjoy covering them so much. Here is the Team Magician [...]
RANDOM SNAP>>CENTERLINED MIATA IN SONOMA
As I was walking back to my car last Thursday at FD Sonoma, I caught this crazy looking NA Miata sitting the parking lot. As a fellow Roadster owner, I couldn't help feeling that the 7.5 inch wide wheels on my own car are pretty whimpy compared to these. As you can see, this NA [...]
More...EVENT>>SUPER GT ’09 RD. 6 SUZUKA
I'm really finding it hard to believe that we're already way past the half point of the 2009 racing season, to me it seems like just a bit ago we were working on our preview stories for the season. Anyways, the Super GT series was in action last weekend during its annual summertime trip to [...]
GALLERY>> THE BOILER OF ASB ’09
As we start to wind-down the summer of 2009, and gear ourselves up for the autumn and holiday season to come, let’s take a look back at one of the greatest ricer events this year: the Just Drift/Ziptied All Star Bash ’09! This event is more than just a mere drift event. All Star Bash [...]
CAR SPOTLIGHT>>THE BIG RED CAMARO
Even if you aren't into muscle cars, chances are you're familiar with the '69 Camaro. It's one of the most popular American cars of all time – right up there with legends the '55 Chevy and the '32 Ford. The machine you are looking at here is the famous "Big Red" Camaro – a car [...]
TEMPLE OF SPEED>> REIMS: THE HOME OF SLIPSTREAMING
For the pioneering speedhunters of the early 20th century, the dusty roads of France is where it all started. A burgeoning auto industry, plenty of long, empty roads and little concern for health and safety meant tracks sprung up all over the country, and the period between the First and Second World Wars proved to [...]
