I've got a few more posts to churn out before the year's up. First up, I want to quickly share this special set of photos with you. They were taken by our in-house artiste-as-photographer: Linhbergh Nguyen this past April at the birthplace of hot rodding: the El Mirage Dry Lakes . Those of you familiar with the history of Hot Rodding will know that it's at locations like the El Mirage dry lakes in the Mojave Desert where the pioneers of the scene first organized land speed record top...

With the Mustang, Ford is in possession of a very valuable property: a modern car with soul and character. Think about it: the vast majority of car companies these days make all of their models with uniform styling features. It's even hard to distinguish between different cars of the same class these days. It's for this reason I've developed a bit of a soft spot for this retro macho machine, especially the hotted up versions that companies like Shelby and now RTR are putting out. The...

After unveiling the all new 2010 Mustang at the LA Auto Show in November, Ford has wasted no time moving on to the "flagship" version of the Mustang, the Shelby GT500. The new GT500 will appear at the the Detroit Auto Show this month and is packing a lot of improvements over the old GT500. For starters, if the 500hp of the old car wasn't enough for you, there's more of that. The 2010 GT500 will now make 540hp and 510 foot lbs of torque from its supercharged 5.4 liter V8....

OK, so perhaps the title of this post is a bit misleading. I was only five years old when Riverside International Raceway closed for good in 1989, but after reading through Frank Sheffield's website about the track, it almost feels like I was there. Frank used to work at the track and he has put together a very thorough site that chronicles the track and its history. Since October is Socal month on Speedhunters, it is the perfect time for a little look back at one of the Southern California's most historic car spots. When I asked Frank if we could use some of his gathered material for this story, he said that in his view every bit of motorsport history should belong to everyone. With that said, let's take a look back at RIR....

Damn!!! Look at this impressive display of tail! There were a ton of Ford GTs in attendance at this past weekend's Cars & Coffee meet in Irvine. I rolled out there with my friends Jover, Mickey, and Scott, who all work in the automotive industry. Jover, Mickey, and Scott had never been to Cars & Coffee... Jover is one of my AE86 friends from Toronto (Canada), Mickey had always been previously out of town every weekend for Falken Tire Motorsports events, and Scott had always been out visiting his Kumho Tire clients or spending time with his newborn baby, Mikala. Good thing my friends made it out, because their interest in the event motivated me to go too! And it's a good thing we went! I was on the hunt for some cool American musclecars to shoot for Speedhunters, and we definitely saw a ton of them at this weekend's event!...
