Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio along with two special guests from Dubai.  

Saeed Almarzouqi and Mohmed Ahmad came in with Tom.  We can't tell you how amazing it was to have guys from thousands of miles away that share our common interest in all things fast.  Saeed is the man behind the Custom Show in the UAE that Tom attends every year.  We really hope these guys make our studio a stop every time they are stateside.

The Team 260 guys checked in, the Neglection race has been postponed due to weather.  These guys, and others are welcome to come on the show and plug their events.  If you are close to the shows they put on, stop by and show your support.

Cobb Tuning is well known around the Subaru world and have expanded to bands including Porsche, Nissan, and Ford.  Mike McGinnis Senior R&D Calibrator of Cobb Tuning called the show to go over the process of development at Cobb.  Cobb offers complete packages that are proven to provide solid repeatable gains, but the offering does not stop there.  Cobb actually can repurpose sections of the ECU to provide features like trans brakes and bump in functionality.  Mike is one of the guys making it all happen, and the show can only scratch the surface. 

Mike Jovanis, NJ resident, NMCA racer, and DragWeeker calls in to share some knowledge of what it takes to compete in DragWeek.  Mike needs to come on again because the show ran so long.  We got into a few things we wanted to talk about, but we were up on a time constraint.  Mike is in the plans to come back in the next few shows.  These DragWeek guys have lots of valuable info to share.

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.
