Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio.

None of us even noticed, but show number 100.  Crazy stuff.  Thanks to the fans for sticking with us.  We may tool on them from time to time, but we really do appreciate all the listeners.  

Project SubiTard is getting close.  Tad has his new engine ready to go from IAG.  The parts, car, and everything is finally set.  He has a few items to get to this finished up, but he will be on the road soon.  It will still look like crap, but it will be a pretty stout street car.

Drag Week has taken over our thoughts and daily conversations.  Trust us, we are not trying to wear this subject out, but there is so much here to talk about.  The best thing about this whole event is the people.  We have had on and met some great car guys from all over the country and this week is no exception.

Travis Ray joins the show to talk about his Drag Week experiences.  This particular guest worked out to be not only a cool story, but educational for Mike and Tom.  Travis is a Corvette C5 owner, and can recount the numerous pitfalls of the Corvette platform.  Travis has competed in the Drag Week event since 2013 and had not had good luck until 2016.  Everything from stub axels to electrical problems kept him from finishing, but 2016 ended all of that.  Travis finished the week and averaged a 9.29 with a true to life street drivable C5 Corvette.  It was a pleasure to drive, and needed nothing but tire changes to complete the week.  Listen to this one, it's a good story of the road taken to complete Drag Week from another great car guy.

 

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.
