Three NFL legends were spotted filming a new TV show that will be broadcast on ESPN. NFL Hall of Fame Quarterbacks Brett Farve and Peyton Manning were in Green Bay last week for a segment on “Peyton’s Places”, a new 30-episode documentary series produced by NFL Films and ESPN+. The show features Peyton Manning talking to former players, coaches, and others regarding key events in the NFL’s 100-year history.

Spring Jefferson goes on despite snowstorm Not even snow could stop the show at the 42nd Spring Jefferson Auto Swap Meet & Car Show, but it certainly tried. In the days before the April 26-28 event at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Jefferson, Wis., the weather forecast grew increasingly bleak. While the first day of the event was expected to be sunny, forecasters were issuing a winter storm warning […] The post Show ’n’ Snow: Spring Jefferson 2019 appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

Old Cars Video Review: 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza published first on https://medium.com/@SinaCarRemovals via Tumblr Old Cars Video Review: 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza We love scale engines of all shapes and sizes, including ones that aren’t in a V-shape with eight cylinders screaming. Take this incredible Porsche flat six for example that was hand crafted by a Dutch racing driver who just so happens to be a huge Porsche guy. Who saw that coming, right? Anyway, the air-cooled Porsche flat six is as iconic an engine as any company in history has ever produced. It has powered some of the most well known sports and race cars in history all while making that angry boxer noise that it became so famous for. Yes, this one makes much the same type of noise although it is a little more soprano than the full sized version. Our wonder with these engines comes in when you consider having to hand make things like the carbs and how the builders are able to get them into such exacting detail. Then there’s stuff like the ignition system, the rotating assembly, and the simply fact is just because the stuff is small doesn’t mean is can be sloppy. If your tolerances are not right in a large engine they won’t be right in a small one and the thing will run equally as bad as its larger counterpart. It is just that simple. Whether you are a Porsche fan or not, you have to respect the mechanical and creative genius that went into building this thing. Of course the fruits of the builder’s labor come when the engine fires up and makes that mechanical noise of combustion that we all love to hear. The sound at idle is one thing but when the operator cracks the throttle it really wakes up!

We’re still smarting from the news of the Michigan Madman’s passing several years ago. In his memory, here’s the best video you’ll ever see of EJ Potter atop his legendary V8 Chevy bike, known as the Widow Maker. This video was shot in the mid to late 1990s when EJ came out of retirement to ride his restored machine a couple times before it went into a museum. We’re pretty sure this is an excerpt from EJ’s self produced video that came out around 1999 or so. You’ll see the bike run down into the deep 10s at nearly 150mph. We remember Potter saying that the speeds were down and the elapsed time was slower than he ran historically because, ironically, the traction compound applied to the track was working against him. Potter surmised that his roasting car tire on the back of the bike was turning that traction compound into a slick goopy grease. You’ll hear the engine bouncing off the rev limiter as he had to keep pedaling the machine because the motor was basically running away with nearly no load on it. Potter ran down into the 8s at nearly 170 on his best runs in the early 1970s. This 10 second stuff was just a walk in the park for wily the old dude!

Since 2013, Russia has been holding an international tank biathlon where several countries like China, Kuwait, and several that have names ending in “stan” show up to test their mettle on a challenging course that requires them to cover the distance in the shortest amount of time while firing accurately and at great distance while on the fly. The USA’s invite got lost in the mail so we were not there to throw down against the likes of Armenia but there was a Kuwaiti tank crew there that made one heck of an impression on the assembled military brass. Those were the guys that managed to completely barrel roll their tank and nearly make it back over on the track again. We have no idea what it would be like to flip upside down in a tank, ending up on your side but we’re going to guess that it sucks pretty bad. So how did they pull this off? Basically they came into a turn way, way hot and the driver was executing a pretty awesome drift when one of the massive tracks that power the tank caught an edge, dug in, and sent the thing for a nearly complete roll. If they had about 1mph ore momentum coming out of the barrel roll they would have flopped down onto their tracks again. As impressive as it is to see 90-tons of twisted steel and sex appeal doing this, it would have been even more boss to see it roll, land and drive off. You know one of these T-72s has done that before because for all the years they have been making them, the drivers have had access to vodka and we all know what that leads to,. If you want to skip right to the rolling tank go to like 1:40 into the video. The beginning portion of the film shows what the competition is about and you get to see how the guys rolled their tank by watching how other teams came through this portion of the course. One team went way wide but another played it perfectly and then hit a fording ditch so deep that the tank appears to have died from water inhalation upon exiting the other side of it. This is hardcore fun. I bet the USA shows up uninvited next year and just says that their invitation never showed up. We want in!

Those that do own them did not just fall into them by some sort of happy accident. Nope, those men and women are captains of industry. You’ve got Jack Roush who has done the water landing deal a time or two in his and the rest of a small but elite group of enthusiasts that have theirs. While we can’t speak on this for certain, we’re going out on a limb to suggest that very few of these planes have functional .50 caliber machine guns in their wings like Twilight Tear does. It is cool to see this plane pulled onto some sort of firing range and then burst firing the guns at a massive paper target down range. Today, the P-51 Mustang and its machine guns seem almost quaint. The amazing advancements in technology that have been applied to war planes really define the countries on the bleeding edges of building them. This plane was a full on killer in its day and the legend of the P-51 Mustang will be told as long as the world has an appetite for it. You did not want to be a guy in a helpless supply convoy when these airplanes showed up. Diving at steep angles with the guns roaring, they did some of the hardest work in the entire war. With Merlin power, they were fearsome killer hot rods in the sky. Outside of period WWII films, we have never seen a P-51 Mustang firing off its guns. We have to imagine that the rounds of ammunition are not cheap and as you will see, this guy spends a bunch of them. We dig the veritable waterfall of shell casings raining out from the bottom of the wings. There are areas of Europe where it is still not uncommon to run into .50 caliber shell casings just below the surface of the ground. Believe it or not, this isn’t the only warbird story we have for you today. Stay tuned.

The 7.0L engine is not a rev machine and wasn’t quite tuned up, but most of the problems could all be traced back to one item: the ZiL’s transmission. The gearbox wasn’t happy doing…well, anything. There was no amount of coaxing, pleading, double-clutching or even triple-clutching that was going to make the gearbox happy. Which wasn’t good…the entire point of increasing the displacement of a car by a factor of seven is to haul seven times the amount of ass than before. How can you do that when you’re trying to jam the shifter into fourth and you’re realizing that you’d have better luck getting to third base with a nun? The answer that Garage 54 came up with is simple: add a transmission. Yeah, you read that right. Attached to the back of the ZiL transmission is the four-speed manual transmission from a Volga, mounted backwards via a bunch of driveshaft work and “hell with it, let’s see what happens” engineering. Loose throttle, no brakes, and a ton of engine (literally) in a car that genuinely might fall apart if you look at it wrong. Is it wrong that we are really digging this thing?

The V8 Lada Swap: The Russian Freakshow Is Now A Twin-Stick! published first on https://medium.com/@SinaCarRemovals via Tumblr The V8 Lada Swap: The Russian Freakshow Is Now A Twin-Stick! It’s been a minute since the infamous race at the Winternationals between Jon Chase and Mike Finnegan. Both sides had serious problems with their 1955 Chevrolets, but ultimately it was Chase who lost the Kall Out Kings race…and his beard. Now that his facial fuzz is returning back to normal, it’s time that Chase gets back to work on “Tri 5 By Fire”. You don’t just leave well enough alone with a defeat…break, build, and repeat as necessary! That’s the true hot-rodder’s way. Between the thrash work that was done to get the Chevy to Pomona in one piece and the tiny bits that were either ignored or simply not performed for the sake of time, there is a list of items that Chase will need to address before the Chevy is doing better. Fixing stuff that breaks…simple, right? Does it need a post? Well…yes. This episode does. You see, this isn’t at the Donut Garage, or at the burn pit at Irwindale. You are actually in Chase’s driveway, with his young daughter taking the camera and watching over her father’s shoulder as he makes actual, necessary and needed fixes to the loud race car. We’d be running this video even if he was just getting the reverse lights to work, nevermind actually getting reverse itself to function. Forget timeline drama and smack-talking, this is how real hot-rodding is supposed to look like. It’s how many a kid got into turning wrenches in the first place!

BangShift Test Drive: 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye: Its Overkill! Glorious Overkill!5/6/2019 I own a Chrysler 300C, which is the equivalent of a Dodge Challenger R/T. The 5.7L Hemi makes decent power and the right noises, and gets the job done. Or does it? Maybe not. You can step down to the Pentastar V6, like we sampled in theChallenger GT, and it’s practical and solid, but does kind of disappoint when it’s in a Challenger. There is supposed to be a V8, right? Right. The 392 Hemi that we sampled in a six-speed Challenger is a solid choice, one that has plenty of grunt, plenty of good noises, plenty of everything. But FCA hasn’t been about “plenty” over the last few years, they’ve been about having enough power to blow your tiny little mind. Case in point: the Hellcat, which we’ve sampled in both Challenger and Charger flavors. It’s proper big-boy power, the kind of setup where you need to think twice before you go for the long pedal on the right. Still not enough? Well, if you weren’t one of the fortunate few to get one of the 840-horsepower Demons, then there is a backup plan. It comes with a twin-nostril hood and 797 horsepower. You can live with that figure, right? The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye…Demon Lite. It isn’t a limited edition, it isn’t restricted to people with competition licenses, it isn’t banned in California. If you have the money, you can opt into 797 horsepower and all you really need to decide upon is the color you want your car to be. Remember the days when 300 horsepower was actually exciting? Yeah…the good old days, right freaking now.
Yes, I got the keys to a Hellcat Redeye. The red key, in fact, the party key, the one that allows every ounce of fun. It was a very quick jaunt around the Beech Bend property while light rain fell, so if you want to know how this thing’s highway manners are or what the car is like to live with, go read Lohnes’s take on the Hellcat Challenger and add the horsepower into the mix. My drive was simple: I took the car to the far end of the return road, turned around, made sure nobody was around me, and pinned the throttle. What, exactly does 797 horsepower actually feel like? When you start the car, the Redeye feels somehow even more substantial than the normal Hellcat. Each piston happily announces it’s presence and it’s intent to help make you involuntarily soil yourself. The whole car rocks at idle. Each shift of the automatic is direct and sharp. At low speeds, you’re driving a normal car…one that you barely need to use a toe to accelerate with, but otherwise normal. It stops fine, it turns fine, it feels fine. Everything says “normal Challenger” except the blower whine and the heavy metal bassline thumping out of the pipes. Then I found my straightaway, turned the traction control off, took one deep breath, and went for broke.
When I drove the Hellcat Charger, in similar conditions, I found that the car would break the tires loose at highway speeds with enough provocation. The Redeye offers up the same overall sensation, but the sensation is even more violent. When the engine revs, the whole car becomes somehow that much more involved. The way the steering wheel shakes in your hand as the tach needle sweeps around, the way the seat compresses as physics compress seat foam and the fat of your ass in one fluid motion as the car starts forward motion…every last over-the-top back in the day story of how cars were, this one is. I only have two regrets: One, I can’t afford one. And two, that I didn’t rip a quarter-mile tire-fire that rose the dead and would have Dallas kicking me out of Beech Bend. The Hellcat is like a drug. The Redeye narrows that drug down: speed, in a heavy dose. The Redeye should honestly come with a waiver in the purchase process, holding FCA harmless from the medical and spiritual effects of what you are about to experience. I’m now a junkie. I need a power fix. Damn you, SRT. Damn you. A big thank you to the Hemi Bear for turning me loose in his personal Hellcat Redeye. That’s a lot of trust!
