UK Comp Eliminator racer Jordan Payne was recently crowned The FIA European Finals event Champion at Britain’s historic Santa Pod Raceway driving the family Corvette. 

Driving any kind of American V-8-powered car in the UK is an expensive proposition. Nevertheless, die-hard enthusiasts such as Adam Chodosh are not about to give up on their passion.

There’s something about early Mustangs that just grabs ya.

I spent my teen years growing up in southern California but drag racing was never part of my life. For decades I raised four kids and knew nothing about burning up the asphalt. Then, in 2019 I discovered drag racing and I was instantly hooked.

In 1969, I walked into McCoy Ford in Anaheim, CA and sat in a brand new, Boss 429 Mustang. Then, I sat in a ’69 Torino Talladega—both were Royal Maroon in color. I knew then and there that someday I was going to build a street driven Boss 429 Talladega, in NASCAR trim

When MQQNeyes builds a ’69 Camaro Z/28 RS you know it’s going to be badass, well, as badass as a yellow car can be.

Father and son Randy and Michael Richardson combine years of talent and experience to build a Cobra 289-powered ’63½ Falcon Futura.

What is that? ‘A Dodge, 330.’ Said owner Steve Dykman. ‘Most people think it’s a Polara but it’s a 330.’ What’s the difference?

It has all the right ingredients: history, provenance and the current owner…

All car folks have a ‘one that got away’ story, but in the case of Lynn ‘Mr. Cobra’ Park it would be ‘none that got away’ because over the years, he has owned more than 50 of Carroll Shelby’s 998 Cobras built.

If there is one memorable era in the history of hot rodding it is the mid-80’s trend for spectacurlarly fast, fat, fendered Fords.

The history of hot rodding can be charted more or less in decades from the earliest Model Ts through the ‘gow’ jobs, to post WWII hot rods, to resto rods, street rods, fat fenders, Boyd’s smoothsters, traditional hot rods, rat rods and what we have today.

Hard to believe but in the early 60s Chrysler executives wanted to call their new Irv Ritchie-sketched fastback Valiant the Panda?

Early Mustangs just seem to age well and like anything with class they don’t need a lot of jewelry to make them shine.

Cobras, Daytona Coupes, GT40s, Shelby and Saleen Mustangs, a Cortina, a Tiger, and even a rare Panoz were part of the ‘tracktion’ at the recent Cobra Owners Club of America Biannual Track Day at Willow Springs International Raceway, California.

Big Red’s out-of-the-box 249 mph was not enough to beat Rich Prosser’s 259 mph Impala and Rick Harden’s 256 mph Corvette.

When Ford asks you if you would like to drive their new 760hp streetcar you don’t say no.

The early ’60s were a turning point for the high performance world when engineers at Chevrolet, Ford and Chrysler hustled horsepower to maintain track dominance.

The Mopar family lost one of their favorite sons recently, as the man we knew as “Mr. Norm” died at age 87.
