Drifting World Championship
11:12PM - Wed Dec 03, 2008
As the drifting master said, “If you build it, they will come!”
I know… he didn’t really say that, but it would have been cool. Truth is, as long as CLASHPROD keeps making breathtaking videos, we will watch them!! Unfortunately this is only their teaser, but its just enough to leave you wanting more.
Enjoy the beauty that is Red Bull Drifting World Championship!
Bullrun Season II on SPEED!!!
06:58PM - Wed Dec 03, 2008
MatthewHayhurst is one of the biggest fans around of all things Bullrun so it’s no wonder that he’s bringing us this news!
Do you think you have what it takes to make it onto Bullrun Season II? Yup, that’s right folks, the hardest-driving reality show is back with a new season and they’re looking for 12 teams. Are you, your co-driver and your ride up to the 4,000 mile, cross-country challenge? Do you feel like battling it out for $200,000 in prizes and the chance for all your friends to watch you head for a podium finish on Speed Channel?
If so, better get to it and convince the nice people over at Bullrun HQ that they’d be downright stupid not to choose you. Of course, you have a valid license, a car, are fully insured, over 21 and know that your cars are going to face some real challenges along the way, right? Also, you don’t have to be from the US but you do have to be available to shoot starting December 2008.
Oh btw, if you’re a hot girl and fancy tagging along for the ride, wearing not-too-much and doing some flag waving, they’re in need of some Bullrun Flag Girls, too.
So, what the hell are you waiting for? Go to Bullrun.com and check out all the info or go to the Bullrun page right here on Streetfire to find out how to submit your entry for Bullrun Season II
FXX let’s loose
03:35PM - Wed Dec 03, 2008
When the Prancing Horse at Maranello gave birth to the $4 million FXX, I don’t think they had this in mind. With only 30 in existence, one in the hands of the ever so mighty Schumacher, who knows what kind of survilaince is kept on these 860hp Italian Stallions!
Lucky for us, speedandmotion was able to capture this rare site! Watch as the #28 goes balls to the walls!
For more FXX action, check out this in-car cam of the same car!
Tractor on 2 Wheels

Some international farming news from KingKnight
Just because you can drive a car, doesn’t mean you can drive a truck. Just because you can drive a truck, doesn’t mean you can drive a tractor. But, it seems, if you know how to put a car up on two wheels, putting a tractor up on two is just a matter of bigger = better.
Presumably the bottom-heavy nature of the vehicle is helpful in not tipping over but not in keeping the machine at such a steady angle. However our illustrious farmer manages it, we’re impressed by the New Holland T7050 Tractor on 2 Wheels
Corvette vs. Swamp
07:57AM - Wed Dec 03, 2008
What the hell is wrong with you guys over at superspeeders??? What did that gorgeous yellow Z06 ever do to you, huh?
We’re almost too upset to bring you this blog, the indignity suffered by the car in this video being almost too much to bear! Suffice to say, Corvette vs. swamp is not a good match and one that ends badly for the yellow beast. Thankfully it avoided being attacked by angry alligators but the water, reeds and mud did a fine job by themselves. That, plus the tow truck driver scraping the nose of the car along the roadway for 50-feet nicely rounds out the generally abysmal treatment of the car.
Have a tissue ready and prepare yourself for Corvette vs. Swap
