098 - Power and Speed - Scott Clark and Chris Bishir - Drag Week

Author: Readington Digital March 6, 2017 Duration: 1:31:17

Mike, Tom, Tad, and in studio Scott Clark.

 

We were all looking forward to this all week.  Drag Week registration opened, and we are in.  Talk about nice timing, Scott Clark ran his tuning school this past weekend at Fonse Performance and was able stop by the studio the night we record.  This whole Drag Week thing has everyone wound up.  Tom says we are winning, Mike wants to win, Scott says good luck with that!  It's not as easy thing to do, and things that should not break do and just when you don't need them to.  One aspect of these types of cars that cannot be stressed enough is tuning.  Scott goes over some of the class events, the car they tuned, and the problems they had.  If there is one near you we suggest you go check it out.  He goes over the upcoming events so it's easy to make the time now.

Speaking of winning, multi time winner of the 8.50 class Chris Bishir of Team 260 (two six oh) calls in to continue our Drag Week discussions.  Chris has done Drag Week more than a few times, and he's the man to beat.  He has this down, and nothing replaces experience.  Everyone is gunning for him including Jason Doisher who called in from Anything Automotive.  He's another Drag Week veteran, and even give his prediction on who finishes where.  There is some great discussion here on the whole "game" of Drag Week. 

One thing we want everyone to pay attention to is Chris's discussion of the events they are promoting.  This type of event is exactly what this sport needs.  Pay attention to the details on this, and if you are close, show up.

Fireman Jeff with the wonky rods stops by as well.  He's got himself a nice new rotating assembly.  He had a "mishap" and I know he wants this one right for the long haul.  His Chevy SS will be back on the road soon.

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.
