We talk with SCCA Hall of Fame race car driver Randy Pobst. From his racing origins in a Mk1 VW Rabbit, to his 2 wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and his personal car collection – including his Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am and Flyin' Moose Volvo 740. To start, we'll dive into Randy's racing experience: factory contracts with Porsche, Mazda, Volvo, and Toyota. Winning the 24 Hours of Daytona not once, but twice, and his 2015 induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame. We'll cover his exploits at Thunderhill, VIR, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Daytona, Pikes Peak, Sonoma, Lime Rock, Willow Springs, and more! From humble origins in a Mk1 VW Golf (no, not a GTI), to a factory-backed FX16 Toyota Corolla, to setting a Laguna Seca lap record in a McLaren Senna. Randy even worked on the set of 2 Fast 2 Furious as a driving instructor for the film's stars: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, and Devon Aoki – to name a few. Randy eventually met Jason while filming an uncooperative Cayman GT4 for Motor Trend, and, despite a rocky start when Jason unexpectedly flung a Range Rover off track while racing Randy in an Alfa Romeo 4C, the two teamed up again to film multiple Ultimate Drag Race, Lap Battle and ICONS episodes for Hagerty. The whole gang laments some of the most irritating modern car tech: excessively bright headlights, lights that are somehow off at night, ABS systems that fully shut down when traveling backwards, AEB overreach, and EPAS systems that completely ruin a car's limit handling by curtailing the driver's ability to quickly catch a slide (like the Shelby GT350 Randy repeatedly spun and Jason crinkled at Willow Springs – not to mention the Unplugged Performance Tesla Model 3 Randy famously wrecked at Pikes Peak). Speaking of handling, Randy divulges his dislike of twitchy cars like the Jaguar F-Type R and XJ, the KTM X-Bow, and Ariel Atom. Jason on the other hand loves an ass-y car like the V12 Vantage S, but says the Lotus Exige V6 Cup was so tail-happy it was uncontrollable. The Porsche Carrera GT is somewhere in the middle with mixed reviews and experience all around. While on the topic of handling dynamics, Randy tells us his secret plan to invent a fix for the C8 Corvette's trailing throttle oversteer. He also gives praise to Porsche's Lars Kern for his work on the latest crop of RS products – which may or may not be Randy's favorite track cars of all time out of the box, alongside the 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. All of which receive top marks on Randy's understeer spectrum, and are polar opposites of the likes of a 1960s Cadillac. We'll touch on Randy's personal car collection as well, which includes a Volvo 740 sedan and wagon, his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am “Randit” (and its oil starvation woes), Toyota Tundra tow vehicle, VW Karmann Ghia and early Tesla Model S. Plus, Derek invents a new phrase for “road rage”, Randy bitch slaps cars out of his way, and also beautifully sings Primus' Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Podcast 312, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew cover three automotive gamechangers. First up, we went to Barcelona to drive Volvo's newest, smallest, and cheapest EV, the EX30, which starts around $35,000. Then we had some seat time in Chevy's hybrid C8 Corvette, the E-Ray. And following up the first ever all-electric RAM REV is the RAM 1500 Ramcharger, an extended range EV full-size pickup. We'll explain more.

With a cool name like the '12 Kings Car Club', you know it has to be a cool group of auto enthusiasts! Joining us today is Bruce Vanderzyde with information about the club. First thing we asked is about the name - where it comes from. Seems there is a Texas Hwy 12 running through the Texas Hill Country that is a big part of the club 'drives'. Driving is one thing Bruce is very clear on, this club drives their rides that range from early hot rods such as a '32 Ford up to a C8 Corvette on their monthly cruises. First Sunday of the month is Coffee and Cars in Wimberly, drawing vehicles from Austin and San Antonio to the picturesque Hill Country Roads.In our feature segment, Michael Marrs takes a look at the 2022 KIA K5, a mid-size 4-door sedan with the GT package that provides a little more sporting driver experience.----- ----- In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!

Now that we're in early spring of 2022, local car shows are running full blast. April 30th and May 1st it was car shows galore with two on Saturday and one Sunday afternoon. The first show I attended was at Dickie's BBQ in Rowlett, TX. This was the first time to go to this show and was pleased with the cars and trucks on display. I talked with the owner of a 1955 Ford truck, which was a great looking vehicle. He had one when his kids were little but sold it. Here's where the story is really cool. Years later, his kids pitched in and bought him a truck similar to the one he sold years ago. I'm sure you can imagine how this made the truck all the more special to him. The next show on Saturday was a real treat. Not because of the cars, there were some nice ones there, but people. The shows was in Murphy, Texas at the PSA parking lot. Just like the one in Rowlett, the Murphy car show had a lot of great looking cars and trucks. But, what made this show special was running into some friends I've not seen in quite a while. I enjoyed visiting with them and looking over their C8 Corvette. Of course, it's a beautiful vehicle and sounds fantastic. When I attend the car shows, I'm always looking to interesting cars that I can photograph. I especially look for interesting angles and close ups. And, at this show in Murphy, like most other car shows, I was able to take several photos of great looking vehicles. Sunday afternoon, I wrapped the weekend up with another show in Murphy, TX at Country Burger. This is one of many shows that Mustang Sally Productions puts on in the Dallas/North Dallas area. Be sure to check out their website, mustangsallyproductions.com, for a full calendar of shows that run through December 2022. Not long ago, I had to go my local Kroger to do some shopping. As I was looking for a parking spot, I noticed the back of a t-shirt with “mooneyes” on the back. If you're not familiar with “mooneyes”, it's a hot rod cultural icon created by Dean Moon, which was big into racing during the late 60's and early 70's. I'll talk more about him on a future episode. Well, as I was walking through the store, I saw the guy with the mooneyes t-shirt. I told him that I liked his shirt, because of the mooneyes. We started talking and had a great conversation. Turns out, he races at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. With a 57 Chevy. With a recorded top speed of 217 MPH and an average of 209 MPH during the 2018 Bonneville Speed week in Utah. His name is Tom Hurley. After we talked for a few minutes, I had to get going. But before moving on to get my groceries, he invited me to his shop to see his car. A week or so goes by and I called Tom to see about going by to look at his car. Once I get there, Tom showed me the car and talked about how it had been modified to run at Bonneville. Very cool. Then he began to show me the photos on his walls. Talk about a guy that's lived a full life! He helped bring what is now Autorama to Dallas in the early 60's. Tom started racing in top fuel rails when the driver sat behind the engine and rear axle. He then got the 57 and raced it as a dragster. He promoted a lot of VW events and off-road events during the 80's. Then a few years ago, he turned the 57 into a Bonneville racer. Did I mention Tom has lived a full life? My time visiting with Tom was a real treat listening to the stories of him being involved in motorsports for all these years. I found an article written about Tom called: WHY THE UNDERDOG ALWAYS WINS: A SPEEDWEEK STORY. Kristin Kline wrote the article in 2016 which was in DrivingLine.com Go check out the article to find out more about Tom's Speedweek story and more details about how he started racing at Bonneville. (This will be posted in the show notes) Tom Hurley's Speedweek story A side note this the story…. Tom took me down the street to introduce me to Steve which is the guy that does paint and body work on the '57 Chevy. Turns out Steve still has his first ride. How cool is that! My thanks to Tom for giving me the tour of his shop, introducing me to Steve and sharing some great motor sports history. Hope to see you at one of the shows in Murphy, Wylie or Bass Pro Shop in Garland.
Happy May! Rick Schmidt is back again for an all new Ask Rick segment, this time devoted to the future of new American performance cars .... specifically the Corvette and the Mustang. Both of those iconic cars have a new "electric" version available along with an amazing gasoline variant....at least for now. American buying habits started changing long before the high gas prices and inflation surges we are experiencing now. As Rick pointed out, in the case of the Mustang (the "Mach-E" SUV, specifically) it's only crime is bringing many new first-time customers to Ford! At the same time, it would appear that the gasoline powered Camaro's, Challengers, and Chargers are all on borrowed time. What does the future hold? The post TMCP #503: Ask Rick – All Electric C8 Corvette's vs Investing In Blue Chip Classic Muscle Cars! first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
