061 - Power and Speed - Brian Lohnes From Bangshift.com

Author: Readington Digital May 3, 2016 Duration: 1:00:12

Mike, Tom, Tad, and Fireman Jeff in studio.

Thank god things are back to normal, well as normal as they get anyway.  It's an unfortunate fact of life the guys have to work, and have things come up.  Tom and Mike both had travel plans.  Tom headed down south the see customers, Mike went on a 36 hour trip to Vegas for the NAB show.  The guys should be good for a while here moving forward.

Tonight the guys had a great guest.  Brian Lohnes from Bangshift.com.  Every car guy ends up surfing bangshift during their daily surfing routine.  Brian has a damn good story about getting from where he started to where he is today.  It seems like most of the things that really grow have no real formula for success, and as Brian said "Bangshift came out of a bunch of failures".  

Brian is much more than co-founder/owner and editor in chief for Bangshift.  Announcing at NHRA events, NHRA on Fox pro-mod analyst, and also running a land speed sanctioning body makes for a lots of good conversation.

Poor Jeff got left out of the intro. (Mike a little out of practice?)  This guy has a cool ride.  A very nice 2014 SS that just went through a transformation into an undercover LSA powered sleeper.  More on him as tuning progresses.

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.
