Lamborghini Crashes in Chicago Suburbs

Lamborghini Gallardo racing through turn on Chicago suburb street doesn’t end well. Good thing I had the video camera out to record it all. Can’t believe this actually happened.

Classic track vs Audi R8 LSM – The Red Bull Terramar Race

It is unknown to many, including car lovers. The circuit of Terramar is the second oldest in Europe after Brooklands, ahead even to the legendary Le Mans, and the first in Spain. In this unique environment that still keeps the greatness it once had, two of the best riders of the moment, Carlos Sainz and Miguel Molina, tested their skills as drivers. The challenge: to overcome the rigors of the old track at the wheel of one of the fastest cars of the time (Audi R8 LSM).

Just The Gear Shifting.

All 5 Of The Fast & Furious Movies – Just The Gear Shifting
Rules: It had to be an obvious gear-shift moment, with the hand/gearshift at least partially showing on screen (there are several moments in the films where you see a character’s shoulder move as they shift gears, but those didn’t count unless you could also see part of the hand). Everything else–barring the brief titles for each film–was cut.

Me and My Moustache – and Maroon 5.

Here is a Maroon 5 music video that my buddy and fellow Drivers Inc stuntman, Brent Fletcher, hired me for as part of the stunt team.   “Fletch” was the stunt coordinator for the shoot and huge props go to Brent for the massive pipe ramp jump that he did in the video!  Make sure you check out his stunt work – he is one of the best in the business.   At 3:45 you will see me (and my mustache) leaning out the window to shoot my shotgun! Good times!! Glad to be part of the team – GT

 

Formula Drifts: Team Garrett the “V8 Hunters”

Formula Drift Round 2 hitting Road Atlanta May 11th and 12th,  Utilizing turns 10A and 10B I’m curious as to what Team Garrett has in store for us. Known as the “V8 Hunters” these 4 and 6 cylinder cars sponsored by Garrett are looking to hunt down those big boy V8′s.  With big power LS1s to LSX Motors being run in Nissan Silvias and Ford Mustangs, these Torque monsters have dominated the playing field.  “No replacement for displacement” Right???

Well Garrett has stepped up to the challenge sponsoring 12 competitors in the 2012 Formula Drift Series.  These shots were of Formula Drift Round 1 Streets of Long Beach. Where Daigo Saito a rookie to the Series placed 3rd in his SC430 powered by at 2JZ-GTE motor and GTX4294R Turbo.

This weekend Formula Drift will be in Atlanta this weekend, let’s see what the Team Garrett drivers can do!

Big Red Camaro: Driving Fast & Taking Chances

The official trailer for Big Red Camaro: Driving Fast & Taking Chances.

The October 2010 Mojave Mile marked the beginning of a partnership between Team Big Red and longtime fan/filmmaker Josh Oliver to create the ultimate Big Red Camaro documentary film. Filming at events throughout 2011 yielded over 160 hours of interviews, insider access, documentary footage, and some of the most incredible shots of Big Red at its finest. Each event proved to be unique as the filmmakers employed tools and tactics typically reserved for big budget action movies, like the Cineflex camera system on an A Star helicopter, massive 1000mm lenses on the ground, over 20 “BR” on-board camera angles, and an airplane flying at 160+ mph to get the viewer never before seen, up-close and in-tight action shots of Big Red at devastating top speeds. Some 15 months have passed since then, and in 2011 Big Red competed in 5 of the biggest events the “Weekend Warrior” motor sports world has to offer: Mojave Mile, The Texas Mile (Goliad), The Spectre Challenge (aka Hwy 341 Virginia City), Vintage Auto’s “Big Bore Bash” at Willow Springs Raceway, and of course, the Grand Daddy of them all… where the Big Red legend began… September, in Ely, NV for the 24th running of The Silver State Classic Challenge.

After many months and a lot of hard work, we are proud to bring you the first trailer for the documentary. Stay tuned for more videos, clips, and coming soon, the full-length historical documentary.

The Big Red Camaro was originally built in 1987 by father and son team, Dan and RJ Gottlieb. The car began as an all stock 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and became a very highly modified muscle machine revered and well-known for its stunning performances in “flat out” open road racing. The original car was destroyed in an accident in the La Carrera Road Race in 1988, as the stock chassis was unable to handle the stresses of cornering the heavy car under the conditions and massive power output. “Big Red” was then rebuilt by the late, great race car builder Bill Osborne with the original stock ’69 body and a spaceframe tube chassis, as well as a 1,000 plus horse power engine built by Larry Mollicone. This is the car that went on to win accolades and trophies at both the La Carrera Classic and Silver State Classic Challenge throughout the late 80′s, catching the world’s attention, scoring features in numerous car magazines, and made a name for itself among muscle car and race enthusiasts. Big Red was retired in 1996 to a car museum, and revived for racing again in 2004. Big Red continues to live up to the title of “The Baddest ’69 Camaro ever.”
