Victor Alvarez grew up in Long Island, NY and used to spend a lot of time working at his dad’s and uncle’s automotive shop. Victor was around cars since a very early age but he really fell in love with them when his dad bought a Supra. His family decided to move south to Florida to take advantage of the nicer weather when Victor was 15. When they got there, his dad started another automotive shop and Victor jumped right in to work there as well. He had plans to go to college, but he had gotten so involved with and passionate about modifying cars that he decided that career path was for him. As time went on, he continued to work on Supras and eventually met Alpha. Alpha was tuning lots of different cars and Victor’s customers would request Alpha to tune them. Victor and Alpha struck up a friendship based on their aligned business expertise and formed Induction Performance. Fast forward 5 years, and Induction Performance is about to move into a larger building to better suit their customers. Victor also organizes FL2K every October in Florida. It is a sister event to TX2K and Victor works closely with Peter Blach (Episode 50) with the goal of bringing shops and fast cars together to drag race and roll race. It is located at Bradenton Motorsports Park on Oct 6-8, 2017.
We're feeling a little green this week as St. Paddy's day is upon us on Wheelz Up Radio and that only means one thing, The Kick-off of the first East Coast National Event of the season in Florida. This week we welcome special guest host Kelli Barbato, Mike Carr and the "Wagon Boyz" as they talk the latest news and notes from the world of drag racing. On this week's show presented by SASSY RACING ENGINES the gang will talk to Vermont Runner Garner Stone about 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang that runs in the Factory Stock Showdown in NHRA Competition and Factory Super Car Class NMCA. The Gang will also re-cap the Division 2 opener at Gainesville Raceway, the NMCA Race at Bradenton Motorsports Park and look forward to the East Coast Kick-Off of National Events and the Amalie Oil Gatornationals this upcoming weekend. Wednesday's Nights guest comes to us from the great state of Vermont. Gardner Stone is a successful business man with his own car dealership and commercial rental business to date. When he has the time Gardner likes to mix it up with his 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang in NHRA & NMCA Competition running in the ever popular Factory Stock Showdown and Factory Super Car Classes. If the name sounds familiar to those in other forms of motorsport’s it's because Gardner was one of the most successful tractor pullers on the East Coast with his "General" turbine engine tractor on the NTPA tour. We will talk with Gardner on Wednesday Night about how he made out at the NMCA event and how he is preparing for the Gatornationals this upcoming weekend. Wheelz-Up Radio fills the lanes beginning at 7:30pm on Wednesday Night. To call in and chat with the hosts or our special guests please call 1-347-826-7505.
