When I was a kid, one of the things I would look forward to every year was going to the fair. The LA County Fair was massive and in elementary school we always got free tickets—I think they were stapled to our report cards, but I could be wrong. Although I moved around a lot as a kid, it seemed like we never lived very far from the fairgrounds, which are right next to the Pomona Raceway. My dad would take us there to watch the NHRA Winternationals every year and see people like “Big Daddy” Don Garlits and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme drive like bats out of hell down the 1/4 mile. I remember reading that at one point the LA County Fair was the largest county fair in the nation, but I don't know if that's still true. That said, to a 10-year-old, it was huge.

NASCAR Personality Kenny Wallace has been in The Freak Nation several times. This was from 2006 when Wallace relaxed enough to take on a fellow driver on the track: NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kurt Busch. He also had some opinions on Don The Snake Prudhomme and the women who roam the pits "for no apparent reason." Listen...

The Get Out N Drive Podcast made the road trip to SEMA 2021! One of the highlights of the show was hosting having the guys host the Get Out N Drive Podcast from the Racing Junk booth. When you are hanging out in the Racing Junk booth, some cool folks stop by.  The  mics were set to ow and the car talk took off...FAST with Nitro Joe Morrison. Be sure to visit Nitro Joe's site to learn more and to follow him on social media. Joe Morrison is a 2nd generation drag racer, entrepreneur, and musician. This uncommon combination of skill sets, all of which he pursues with passion and determination to be the best he can be, creates a unique and holistic approach to motorsports. Whether it is driving, interacting with fans, or working to provide ROI to sponsors; Joe approaches each opportunity with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a desire to continue perfecting his craft. Joe's love affair with driving started out with his first go-cart purchased with money he earned by cutting neighbors lawns at the tender age of 10. With some sage advice from his racing dad, Chuck; Joe soon began modifying the engine and adding “model airplane” fuel containing methanol and 20% nitro methane in order to improve performance and be like his racing heroes “Jungle” Jim Liberman, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, and “Big Daddy” Don Garlits. By the time he drove his 1970 4 speed Chevelle at historic Raceway Park on opening day in 1988, it was no surprise that he went all the way to the final earning a runner up in his very first drag race. It was not until (of all days) September 11, 2001 at Atco Dragway that Joe earned his competition license with Doug Foley's drag race school. After “renting” race cars for several events, in 2006 Joe became part owner and driver of a 7 second Fiat Altered for former Top Fuel and Comp Eliminator racer Mike Gillespie.  See more hereSpeed over to our friends at RacingJunk.comBe sure to follow Get Out and Drive Podcast on social media!GOND WebsiteIG: Get_Out_N_DriveTwitter  GetOutNDrivePodFB Get.Out.N.Drive.PodcastYouTube https://tinyurl.com/GONDYouTubeJoin our fb group to share pics of how you Get Out N DriveFollow Jason on IGIG @oldecarrguyFollow Jason on fbfb @oldecarrguySubscribe To the Olde Carr Guy YouTube ChannelFollow John on IGIG @customcarnerdFriend John on fbRecording Engineer, Paul MeyerSign Up and Learn more about National Get Out N Drive Day.Grab your Official Decals, Apparel and other cool shirts at GetDriveGear.com   Subscribe to the Str8SixFan YouTube Channel.Be sure to join the coolest place on YouTube on Thursday nights at 7pm CST, The CarrGuy & SixFan Show, powered by the Get Out N Drive Podcast.Support the show

Don “The Snake” Prudhomme is a true LEGEND of racing. Starting in the 60s, over 32 seasons, he was one of the most dominant drag racers ever. Four NHRA championships, the first funny car driver to break 250 mph, and along with Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen, he brought drag racing into the mainstream with their own Hot Wheels cars!! He retired in 1994…but you don't  just go from burning up the quarter mile to just sittin' around…which is why, at age 80, The Snake is heading to Baja to take on the Baja 1000!! We talked to the man, the legend this morning…and he's every bit as bad ass as you could hope!!

Four NHRA championships, the first funny car driver to break 250 mph, and along with Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen, he brought drag racing into the mainstream with their own Hot Wheels cars!! He retired in 1994…but you don't  just go from burning up the quarter mile to just sittin' around…which is why, at age 80, The Snake is heading to Baja to take on the Baja Peninsula!! We talked to the man, the legend this morning…and he's every bit as bad ass as you could hope!! PLUS… When you grow up with the last name Van Halen, in the shadow of your legendary father, a lot can be expected of you. And, as such , you can flame out, or rise to the occasion. Which, in the case of Wolfgang Van Halen, he has more that risen to the occasion with his debut  solo album/band “Mammoth WVH”!! He performed every instrument on the album, it's received rave reviews from critics, and even under the watchful eyes of critics and the public, he has walked his own path as his own man, with his own sound and vision. And for us, growing up as Van Halen fans, and as fans of his mother Valerie Bertinelli, we feel like we've know him all of his life…but today was the first time we met him, and we found him to be an amazingly  well adjusted guy who knows exactly where he's going!

Don “The Snake” Prudhomme is a legend in drag racing. He was a six time  NHRA World Champion. But there's no such thing as retirement for The Snake. He's been racing 1000 mile Baja style races for the past three years and he is the 2021 Yokohama NORRA Mexican 1000 class winner. 

One might think that retirement may have mellowed our friend, NASCAR great Clint Bowyer...but, frankly, we don't see that happening any time soon!! Now that he's in the broadcast booth, he's busy tryin' not to cuss on the air...and now that Sturgis is on the horizon, he's gettin' his liver ready to party with the likes of Sarah Palin and drag racing legend Don "The Snake" Prudhomme!!!

Hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman are rolling into this On the Move launching right into two-wheeled talk of Mecum’s recent successful Vegas motorcycle auction. The event reached $17.5 million in overall sales with a staggering 95% sell-through rate of all 1,214 motorcycles hammered sold. The high seller was a 1907 Strap Tank that brought $297,000. From there, the guys break the news the Mecum has a brand-new event in July, heading to Orlando for a Summer Special. After running through the auction schedule for the next few months, Matt and John turn to car news, leading off with their thoughts on the legacy of three-time Indy 500 winner, Bobby Unser, who passed away at the age of 87.
