Murrieta, CA — 2020 has proven to be a record year for Power Automedia in terms of magazine site traffic. Whilst the global pandemic brought along new challenges and difficulties throughout the year, Power Automedia’s magazine titles have managed to achieve consistent growth in audience response to our content.
Over the last half of the year, stay at home orders and quarantines have meant an increased capacity for overall media and content consumption. Power Automedia was no exception to this increased traffic leading to more than 17.38 million active readers across the 11 magazine titles within our network. This increase in magazine site traffic has been accompanied by an increase in ad impressions and reader engagement.
“They say content is king, and this year certainly proved it,” stated Scott Parker, Vice President of Content at Power Automedia. “While some social media channels were flooded with politics and coronavirus coverage, our platforms provided temporary solace as gearheads hunkered down in their garages. It was a great year to finish projects and we were happy to provide the information the readers craved to inspire or educate themselves.”
Power Automedia’s magazine titles will continue to craft quality content written by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts throughout 2021 and beyond.

Murrieta, CA — Power Automedia is making some changes to the products offered in the upcoming year with the addition of two video podcasts. The two video podcasts, also known as vodcasts, will be hosted on Street Muscle and Dragzine websites as well as most popular video platforms.
Followers of Street Muscle Magazine are already familiar with the recurring podcast, RodCAST Live, which began airing episodes in January 2020. Vinny Costa and Greg Acosta take viewers and listeners on an all-encompassing dive into the deep-end of all things automotive with guests ranging from racers to journalists, manufacturers, car builders, industry personalities, and much more. RodCAST Live airs every Friday at 12pm PST on the Street Muscle Facebook page and the newly created Street Muscle YouTube channel. It will soon launch natively on StreetMusclemag.com as well as other platforms. For those who are just learning of RodCAST Live and are interested in catching up, previous episodes will be uploaded to the Street Muscle YouTube channel every Tuesday at 12pm PST.
The Dragzine Podcast has been airing episodes since 2019 and will be receiving a few updates with the new year. The show is kept light-hearted and fun by host Brian Wagner, Sr. Associate Editor of Dragzine, and takes listeners on a trip beyond what they might normally see, read, or hear when it comes to the biggest names in drag racing. Episodes of The Dragzine Podcast feature guests from every corner of the drag racing world including big-money bracket racers, top tuners, and professional NHRA racers. The Dragzine Podcast had been purely audio for almost two years, however, starting in December it will transition to a video format which will utilize the Power Automedia YouTube channel that had been recently rebranded as Dragzine. Episodes will debut every Thursday at 12pm PST on Dragzine.com, the new YouTube, Facebook, and IGTV.
To accompany the two video podcasts, Street Muscle Magazine and Dragzine will each be creating custom newsletters that provide additional sponsorship opportunities to clients enrolled in Power Automedia’s newly revised “Everywhere +” advertising package. The new designs will offer dedicated space for two pieces of custom-crafted sponsored content in addition to showcasing exclusive content not found on Power Automedia’s various magazine sites.
“Having one of the largest and most sought after email lists, we have been asked by our partners if we could provide an opportunity for a sponsored newsletter for years,” stated Lloyd Hunt, Power Automedia’s Senior Director of Business Development. “Our readers’ experience is important to us, so not only did we want this updated newsletter to be valuable to them but also not overly promotional. Utilizing our existing vodcasts, it simply made sense to provide this 360 degree marketing approach.”

Murrieta, CA — Power Automedia’s EngineLabs is joining the newly announced online event, Engine Performance Expo, as Digital Media Sponsor. Scheduled for January 7-9, 2021, this free online event will take place over three days and will feature live lectures, question-and-answer sessions, and educational seminars with the performance engine industry’s top parts manufacturers and builders.
“The Engine Performance Expo is a brilliant example of how this industry continues to adapt and overcome the pandemic. However, the implications of this event go well beyond 2021. Not only is a very obvious need being filled in the short-term, but this event can reach around the globe to share information that will progress the field of engine building for years to come,” says Scott Parker, Vice President of Content for Power Automedia.
“My favorite part of the PRI Show was AETC. The information gathered and connections made were invaluable,” says Total Seal’s Lake Speed, Jr. “The Engine Performance Expo utilizes technology to bridge the ‘knowledge gap’ left behind this year, to come together to share products and processes in a way we’ve never done before. Being able to watch a block be set up and bushed for keyway lifters is something you could not do at AETC. This 3-day event provides unparalleled access to the best people, products, and processes in the industry, and you don’t have to go anywhere or pay anything to do it!”
As the Digital Media Sponsor, updates and exclusive coverage of the event will be found at EngineLabs.com. The Expo’s current schedule can be found here with the final schedule of events and guest speakers to be published in early December. Those enthusiasts who are interested can pre-register via the Expo’s website registration here.

Murrieta, CA — Power Automedia’s Horsepower Wars has announced its official episode release schedule for the third season of the $10K Drag Shootout presented by Lucas Oil as well as an exciting partnership with Lucas Oil’s cable and satellite television channel, MAVTV Motorsports Network.
$10K Drag Shootout consists of four teams competing against each other to see who can build the fastest drag racing car over a period of 10 days, with a budget of only $10,000 — divided into $3,000 cash and a $7,000 Summit Racing Equipment gift card. Once the builds have been completed, the teams head down to the track for heads-up racing where the team who proves they’re the quickest, takes home $10,000 and their finished car. This season the Lucas Oil $10K Drag Shootout will be taking inspiration from No Prep drag racing events that have become increasingly popular over the years, which mimic street racing – using no traction compound to make the track sticky as with a traditional track event.
For the first time, Horsepower Wars will be partnering with MAVTV to broadcast $10K Drag Shootout 3 on cable television. MAVTV Motorsports Network is owned and operated by Lucas Oil Products and is the only cable television network in the U.S. dedicated solely to motorsports. “We live for custom car builds and drag racing, it’s in our DNA,” said John Duff, Head of Content at MAVTV. “So when we were presented with the opportunity to partner with Horsepower Wars and broadcast Season 3 of their highly popular drag racing show with a no-prep twist, we knew it would be a perfect fit and blend nicely into our already impressive lineup of automotive content.” MAVTV will be airing episodes of $10K Drag Shootout every Sunday with the first episode premiering on November 1, 2020.
Fans of the show who do not have access to MAVTV will be able to watch the upcoming season on the same platforms as years past on Horsepowerwars.com in addition to the Horsepower Wars Facebook and YouTube every Tuesday starting on November 3.
ABOUT HORSEPOWER WARS
Horsepower Wars is an automotive TV show featuring fierce competition between rivals that takes place in a variety of venues including: engine dyno, chassis dyno, drag strip, road course, and even an off-road short course. With no feel good trophies for second place, we travel the country having fun and stirring up trash talk between drivers, builders, and tuners.
