Brian Lohnes

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my channel. My name is Brian Lohnes and this will be a place where you'll find videos about all manner of subjects. I am the lead broadcaster for the NHRA drag racing series on Fox sports, I am the editor in Chief of BangShift, the creator and host of the Dork-o-Motive podcast, and a guy you can see popping up on various shows and at various events.

I love the history of machines, racing, and transportation. Many of my videos will surround those topics. You'll be able to check out Dork-O-Motive episodes here, see some wrenching videos of various projects we have going on, and likely hear me drone on about tractors and other stuff if you stick around long enough.

If you are a gearhead that loves history, we're going to be fast friends.

    This car is so cool, just needed a rear wing. I wonder why they didn’t weigh the components as they built it.

    You can play with polemics and twist your trumpaniac logic all you want...if the NHRA didn't allow a car to run a class that it fulfilled the requirement for THAT'S CALLED BEING BANNED...whether initially in the class or not.

    Not Watkins Glen, but in the early 70's, my friends and I went to Road America 2 or 3 times a year for the Trans-Am series and Can-Am races. There was a pit, similar to the bog where the exact stuff you talked about happened, but probably to a lesser degree. Cars got burned. One guy took his new 240Z around the perimeter of the bog, hit a deep hole in the ground and ripped off his whole front suspension. He was lucky they didn't burn his car. One of my friends brought a 62 Corvair and intentionally got it stuck in the bottom of the pit. It didn't take long for that car to be burned and rolled over, not necessarily in that order. Oh, and most Corvair cooling fans were magnesium, so they got thrown in our own campfires. We always had tons of fun, nobody got hurt (that we knew of), but after the Trans-Am and Can-Am series were done, so were we. We did get to see the orange McLarens and the Porsche 917s run, it was a different time back then.

    My dad was a GM man before the war and a Cadillac man in the 50s,60s, and 70s, but he always bought Ford trucks for his business. Dad was with the Third Armored Division and he said the Ford powered tanks never let them down ever. He was glad his tank had the Ford V8 during the Bulge.

    Wonder why Ford didn't scale this down for at least the Lincoln division. The Super 88, Chrysler Hemi and SBC might all be footnotes.

    I just toured Indianapolis for the first time on 6/9/24. I have watched the 500 for every single one of my 49 years due to my father's love for all things racing. He has been gone for 6 years now. I wish he could have been there with me to take it all in. He loved the fabricator years of Indy. Now to go in May and see it live...
