The American Powertrain Parting Shift: Second-Gear Air With a Jerico Four-Speed!

As we wrestle through another BangShify “work” week,  we’re going to give you our traditional “Parting Shift” blog item today and it’s a dandy.

This time we’re looking at a late 1970s Chevy Monte Carlo with a Jerico four speed, a 408ci small block Chevy, a propensity to rev, and second gear air, baby! Tonight at the Throwdown at T-Town you’ll see pro mods and other insane cars assault the strip in Tulsa and we’re not sure you’ll see any gear jamming action so that’s why we figured we’d give you this last shot in the manual shifting arm for the week.

We have both in-car and out of car video of this Monte making a run and both of the videos rule for their own reasons. We’d recommend watching the in-car first and then watching the car itself get to work. You don’t have to like G-Bodies or even Chevrolets to enjoy this because the dude is a ninja with a shifter and the car sounds all kinds of bad ass revved to the moon!

First we have the in-car, then scroll down for a view of the overall scene

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

Image
It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

Image
I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
