2010 Hot Rod Power Tour Photos

brit — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:15:44 +0000

The 2010 version of the Hot Rod Power Tour rolled through Birmingham, Alabama on June 10th. We were fortunate enough to attend the event and of course snapped some photos and video while we were there. The turnout was rumored to be close to 4000 cars throughout the tour. What economy troubles?

Congratulations to Goolsby Customs for coming away with top honors from the Power Tour Challenge. We will have a special writeup on Goolsby Customs in an upcoming post when we start construction of their new website.

Video – Crusher Ridge Rock Racing

Be sure to watch all the way to the end to see a great save and an “unsavable” rollover with fire – all the makings of a great weekend.

This video was shot at one of the “bounty hills” called “Cro Wall” at Crusher Ridge. $800 to the first person to successfully get over the top of it. Needless to say, there’s no fear of paying that money out anytime soon.

Video – Rick and Bubba Treetop Go-Kart Race

brit — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:40:36 +0000

I had the pleasure of meeting the staff at Treetop Family Adventure yesterday while I was there to film the Rick and Bubba go-kart race. I was very impressed with their facility and attention to detail. The service was great and everyone I came into contact was friendly and carried a smile. I can’t wait to go back when I have more time to play around.

2010 King of the Hammers UTV Race

brit — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:25:26 +0000

I was on hand at the 2010 King of the Hammers race and was very interested in seeing as much of the UTV race as possible since Octane Media is in talks with a few sponsors for a full on UTV race team for 2011. The UTV race was great and I was really wishing I was behind the wheel instead of standing there holding the camera.

Gray Rock Spring Fling Rock Crawling Photos

Rock Crawling photos and video were the tasks of the day when I went out to Gray Rock this past weekend for the annual Spring Fling ride. The turnout was great and besides a little dust around the pits, the weekend was perfect. With all of the rain this area has seen lately, dust is a welcome change. I will have some video from the same event posted soon.

2010 Atlanta Supercross Photos

Octane Media was contacted by Tom Crain of Ankle-Savers™ to cover a few of his team riders at the 2010 Atlanta Supercross event. We weren’t able to secure a media pass in time, so the photos and video I was able to shoot were shot from the stands or pits with a DSLR camera, so the video (soon to be posted) is what it is.

King of the Hammers Video – Event Start

brit — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:22:42 +0000

King of the Hammers 2010 had 100 entries line up on the starting line. The start of the event was exciting and foreshadowed what was surely to be some of the toughest miles driven in the lifetime of each driver. The video below shows each of the teams launching from the starting line.

King of the Hammers Video – Tech Lineup

brit — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:51:33 +0000

The 2010 King of the Hammers race saw a field of 100 pre-qualified teams line up for what is surely the world’s toughest offroad race. Before each vehicle is cleared to compete, they must first go through a thorough tech inspection to ensure safety, for both the driver/co-driver and the other teams around them. The video below was taken while the vehicles were lining up for this tech inspection. With the vehicles all out in the open like this, it’s a good time to appreciate the craftsmanship and hard work that went into each and every one of these machines.

Note: If the video below is choppy during playback, you can turn off “HD” by hovering over the video and clicking the “HD IS ON” button. That will reduce the quality enough for your wimpy computer to handle it.

King of the Hammers video is why I tagged along with the Blue Torch Fab team. I wanted to get the scoop on their race at the 2010 King of the Hammers race. Rob MacCachren was the driver. Unfortunately, the team suffered from a few broken parts along the way and wasn’t able to finish the race. Rob MacCachren explains.
