The Super Bowl. So much hype for this sunday, and for good reason. No need to get into the history of the game or day, we instead want to show you a little bit of behind the scenes. The Wall St Journal filmed a short video showing how the Vince Lombardi Trophy is made. Interesting watch for those like us who will be cramming food on the edge of our seat glued to Super Bowl XLVIII!

…and yes, Tiffany & Co! That is a big ass price tag!

Who are you rooting for?

Guest article on Motivicty’s MOTOBLOG, first in a series from Jay Thornton, custom fabrication expert and technical lead at Vibrant Performance.

I spend a lot of time working with up-and-coming custom metal fabricators and it’s one of the coolest parts of my job at Vibrant. I get to see a lot of new, creative ways of doing things and meet new people who bring a whole new perspective to the craft. I also see this as an important part in the art of fabrication: helping the next generation learn a craft that is constantly changing and innovating. Continue reading →

The S-Chassis has been placed on a rotisserie to ensure clean welds throughout the vehicle. It makes the task much easier to get into those tough to reach areas. A fully stitch welded chassis makes for a super rigid chassis, which is crucial for race cars.

The Team at B.R.E Motorsports are very well rounded with experience and craftsmanship.
