1320Video, operating through KL Productions, LLC, is a privately held motorsports media and consumer products company founded in 2003 by Kyle Loftis in Omaha, Nebraska. The company produces street and drag racing video and photo content, distributed primarily through a YouTube channel with nearly 4 million subscribers and an Instagram presence with nearly 3 million followers — aggregating over 10 million combined social media followers. The brand covers underground racing culture, hosts community events such as the Ice Cream Cruise car show, and maintains an extensive archive of racing footage and photography spanning more than two decades.

The company's commercial offering is anchored in a Shopify-based DTC e-commerce storefront selling branded apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, headwear) priced at $4–$65, alongside co-branded hardware products including 1320Video-branded Dragy GPS performance meters ($160–$200), LOWGLOW garage lighting kits, and Vyper garage furniture. The company also operates the 1320 Street Shine private-label car care line (cleaners, ceramic coatings, towels, and kits from $14–$261) and sells event merchandise tied to Ice Cream Cruise, TX2K, and War in the Woods, plus legacy Texas Streets DVDs and a $125 Mystery Box blind-box product. Revenue is generated through YouTube advertising on a near-4M-subscriber channel, DTC merchandise sales, sponsored content from automotive brands, and promotional sweepstakes such as a C8 Corvette Z06 giveaway.

1320Video employs 11–50 people and serves automotive enthusiasts primarily in the United States and Canada. The company faces a material leadership discontinuity following the May 2026 death of founder Kyle Loftis at age 43; succession plans and ownership transitions have not been publicly disclosed. Third-party valuation estimates range from $578,000 to $3.47 million, and no explicit revenue figures or institutional funding have been reported.
