Mike, Tom, Crunch and Tad in studio tonight.  No guest, but schedule starts next week.  Watch for mixlr events and our Facebook for Details. 

Well, you will have weeks like this.  It's crappy out, snow is melting and making that snowy mess that is so familiar to people in snow prone regions of the country.  Translation, not much of anything going on... except for Hollywood Tom.

Tom was invited to a distributor ssponsored event in the Dominican Republic to talk to customers about the products and how to better sell them in the motorsports market place.  Must be nice to be "swimmin wit da fishes" while we were all dealing with melting snow.  

The Pro stock debut is very close.  We are all waiting and watching to see how this shakes out.  Soon enough we will see where this ends up for the first race.  It's looking like from the info we have seen the Pro Stock teams are on it, and might not be off a whole lot.  

Mike did next to nothing all weekend except watch the 24 hours of Daytona.  I have to agree with him, quite a race.  Real car guys are not focused so much on the overall winner, but the classes of real cars.  This year GTLMS and GTD.  GTD was newly populated with Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Aston thanks to changes in the GTD rules to allow FIA GT3.  It's pretty clear the Lamborghini guys sand bagged and need a little adjustment since they seemed to pass higher up class cars at will at times.  Much to Mike's amusement, Ford kind of flopped with the new GT car.  Trans, Brakes, electric, all sorts of stuff going on.  In the end Corvettes, yellow no less, were 1 and 2 in the class.  

Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.  Call in number 908 751 0211.  Live callers welcome, and this will be the line for giveaways.

Hosted by Mike, Tom, and Tad, The Power and Speed Podcast digs into the raw, unfiltered world of automotive performance, where those two concepts reign supreme. This isn't a polished studio show; it's a garage conversation that roams wherever the scent of racing fuel leads. One week, the discussion might dissect the engineering behind blistering runs at the Texas Mile, and the next, it could drop you into the gritty, spontaneous atmosphere of local street and grudge racing scenes. The podcast regularly features voices from across the racing spectrum, from top-tier professional drivers to the master builders behind the engines and chassis that make extreme performance possible. You'll hear technical debates, personal stories from the track, and passionate explorations of whatever racing subject has the hosts' attention that week. Brought to you by Readington Digital, each episode is built for those who understand that in the pursuit of going faster, the details-and the people-are everything. Tune in for a genuine, wide-ranging take on the culture and mechanics of speed.
