082 - Power and Speed - Alan (Fudd) Returns - Tom at SEMA

Author: Readington Digital November 3, 2016 Duration: 1:01:21

Mike, Tad, and Alan (AKA Fudd) in studio, Tom is away at SEMA setting up.

Well, it has been a long time since Alan has been around, but he actually volunteered to sit in for Tom.  We hardly noticed a difference at all, and we thank Alan for stopping in.

By now all the listeners know Mike might be a little nuts, but when he says something is good, listen to him.  He decided to polish his tractor (yes tractor) and he set out to find the right tool for the job.  We all have seen detailers use a wheel on a right angle grinder, and we also know that used incorrectly you have a giant burn in the paint.  Mike being aware of his limitations found a product called the Cyclo Polisher.  Of course he went all bat shit crazy and bought every pad set he could find, and the results are amazing.  This little polisher brought the Excursion hood back to an unreal shine with conventional auto parts store polish.  If you are into cleaning and polishing, look into this, we don't think you will be sorry.

The Sloppy Mechanic has been on our discussion list for a while, and it turns out through the listeners they found us.  We will have them on in the next few shows to discuss the virtues of the budget super fast builds that can be accomplished.  Not everyone can pour money into a car, and sometimes you just don't have to.  

Tom called in from the SEMA show in Las Vegas, and let us know he will have some very good stuff lined up for when he comes back.  Stop by the Manley booth and make fun of him, and be sure to ask him where the T shirts are.

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.
