(Photos by Richard Pasley) – NHRA Drag Racing at the Gatornationals was off the hook yet again in 2024! We’re talking huge crowds, great racing, and a good time had by all! This is the start of a whole new year of NHRA Drag Racing and we know this season is going to be something special. We’ve got great nitro action photos from Gainesville thanks to BANGshift photo contributor Rich Pasley. Rich was in Florida shooting all kinds of fun stuff at the Gatornationals and sent us a whole bunch of his favorites.

That means multiple galleries over multiple days, so keep coming back to check them all out here.

I’ve raced and announced a fair amount in the state of Florida and can tell you that the fans there are awesome. And boy did they get a great show at the 2024 Gators. Everyone that goes always comments on how fun the crowd is there and they aren’t kidding. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as they loved the live action.

We are incredibly disappointed to announce that this weekend’s PSCA Record Breaker Nationals, along with our LIVE broadcast, have been canceled due to pending rain Saturday and Sunday. But fear not BangShifters, as we are still going to be there shooting video for some cool blog items next week leading up to the NHRA Kragen O’Reilly Winternationals presented by Auto Club. Mel Roth and the PSCA crew are hard at work deciding on an alternate date, and you can rest assured we’ll bring you the details as soon as we have them. Will we be there LIVE? We’ll keep you posted, but as long as we are able, we will be there.

Details are still pending on the Pro Stock Showdown test session which were scheduled for Thursday through Tuesday, but we are heading to Vegas in search of the latest scoop, interview, and NHRA Pro Stock action. The Strip at Las Vegas Motorspeedway will be making official announcements about the Pro Stock session on their website tomorrow at 10am. Pro Stock favorites Greg Anderson, Warren Johnson, Shane Gray, Jason Line, Greg Stanfield, Mike Edwards, Allen Johnson, and more will all be testing in preparation for the NHRA Winternationals February 24-27th, which means the big guns will be out. We’ll have video for you starting Monday February 21st from the Top Fuel and Funny Car test sessions in Palm Beach Florida, as well as action from the Pro Stock test session in Vegas.

Remember, it’s always FREE here at BangShift.com thanks to the greatest sponsors in the industry. We want to thank MSD Ignition, Mickey Thompson Tires, DART, Chris Alston’s Chassisworks, and Holley HP EFI for being sponsors on this weekends broadcast. We couldn’t bring you the finest free drag racing action on the planet without them and all the BangShift.com sponsors.

After seeing the photos of Ellis Vial putting his killer Pro Mod up on two wheels, we went hunting for some cool video showing the early days of the class. We did even better than that, we found some stuff that predates Pro Modified as a pro class of racing. The Pro Mod class was born of wild Top Sportsman racers running their junk heads up in shootout races across the eastern half of the country. By 1989 these cars had such a following that they were ready for the national scene. It would be 1990 before the first “official” Pro Mod race was held, but damn if these shootouts weren’t just as good. This video rules.  

It’ll take two seconds for you to figure out why people loved these cars and they became amazingly popular. The first pair of cars should sum it up nicely, as the awesome Mega-Ford and Christine square off at Kil-Kare Dragway. Today, the class has become so insanely competitive and hard core, the whimsy of these body styles is gone. So are the dry hops, which kind of sucks, but what remains is the wild-ass, sideways, unpredictable nature of jamming way too much power into way too short a wheelbase. That part never gets old.

We were cruising through the website of the wildest drag racing series in America, ADRL.us, the other day and came across an item on their blog we had to share with you. Ellis Vial, a racer in the ADRL’s full-house Pro Extreme class put his blown and nitrous injected (you read that right) 1968 Firebird up on two wheels Joie Chitwood style! This is a brand new car that was acting like it. Hell, we love the guy for having the beast set on kill right out of the gate! He dropped some awesome quotes about the wild ride as well. 

Vial was making some test shots at Virginia Motorsports Park, trying to get his new race car ready for the ADRL Hardee’s Georgia Drags VI at SGMP this weekend. In case you thought you read the lead paragraph wrong, this car is both blown and nitrous injected. Now you see why we love the ADRL.

About those quotes, Vial told the ADRL’s Agent 660, “A lot of people gave me credit for doing a great driving job to save it, but I think it was just God took pity on me and set it back down.”

There’s a couple more gems from Ellis and a bunch more bad ass photos of the ride at ADRL.us. Click the link below to check it out.

Duster sans bodyAndy McCoy Race Cars in Washington, Missouri has been cranking out some incredible door slammers over the last few years. Their latest masterpiece is this totally bad ass 1970 Duster built for racer “Tom Slick” Myers. Pro Mods are lumber inducers for us and this one is truly awesome.

Ian Tocher, the Media Czar for the ADRL tipped us off to a mini-feature that they ran on their site about the car and it is full of great pics. The detail and thought process that goes into laying these cars out so everything is packaged in a sleek body, is still serviceable, and most importantly works, is beyond us. Seeing the car nekkid, with no body on it, is very neat and something that you normally don’t get to see when it comes to full-bodied door slammers.

It currently sports an 800ci nitrous mill but will be seeing an 864ci nitrous snorter before too long. Click the link below to get the full story.
