May 6, 2026
There are few people who can say they truly revolutionized something, Kyle Loftis was one of those people. Loftis founded and ran 1320Video, one of the most respected and popular automotive YouTube channels ever. His creativity and vision inspired so many in the high-performance world, and sadly, he passed away on May 5th, 2026.
Drag racing media was forever changed when Loftis brought 1320Video onto the scene. Loftis and his team got their start covering the most underground of racing events and brought them to the masses on YouTube. We got to see cash days events, the Street Outlaws before they were Street Outlaws, and countless cool cars.
I’ve been watching 1320.com Videos since the early 2000’s. Since Jim Neuenfeldt Parish truck. I was downloading mpeg videos of this truck putting the smack down on cars in Nebraska. As I type this, I am wearing a 1320.com t-shirt. That’s basically all I wear every day is 1320.com shirts. Such a sad day.
Rest in Paradise Kyle!
