It is a story about an event that changed the course of drag racing, changed the course of lives, and ultimately created things like Drag Week, Sick Week, Rocky Mountain Race Week, and the entire genre of Drag-n-Drive competition.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, NHRAonFox's Tony Pedregon and National Dragster Sr. Editor Kevin McKenna weigh in with all that has been happening through two races of the NHRA Countdown to the Championship. The hot takes fly, especially when the conversation turns to the action in Charlotte, North Carolina, last weekend and which teams have exerted themselves hard enough to be true championship contenders. The threesome chat about all manner of things in every professional class and really bear down on the top fuel class, which is seemingly set to produce one of the most incredible single season turn around tales ever, with the rocket-like rise of Antron Brown since the Topeka, Kansas race in the regular season. Controversy about Billy Torrence not staging first round? Yeah, that is gone through here as well. Lohnes riffs on his experience at Drag Week between both races, and this is a show that will have you on the chip for this weekend's race or maybe ready to fire off an angry e-mail! Get pumped up because the action will only get more intense from here on out.

As usual, the Hot Rod Blues podcast is a study in grown men with ADHD as the conversations turn on the shortest notice. The boys get started with an update on Shawn's ‘50 Merc. Javi gets a late start with a Red Bull. Mike wears a three-piece suit and ponders why metal fabricators don't get the media hype? Is Jim Morrison alive or dead, and what happened to his GT500? The Hirohata Merc goes for $1.95M at auction. They ponder the origin of Memphis slang words. And the big news is that the Hot Rod Power Tour and Drag Week will both be hitting Memphis this year. The Hot Rod Blues Podcast, based in Memphis, Tennessee, “The “Home of the Blues,” is an entertaining group of hot rod enthusiasts from very different upbringings who are brought together by their love of cars. Even though the podcast is tied to cars, there is nothing off-limits when these four get together. The conversations often run the gamut like a 10-year-old with ADHD but it is always fun. The Hot Rod Blue Podcast is co-hosted by Shawn Brereton of Auto Enthusiast Network, Mike Abbott of Steel Rose Metal Co, Javier Augustine of Bomber Steel Customs, and Shawn Young of Kingfish Metal Works. Now recording in video and audio formats, you can find the Hot Rod Blues Podcast on the following platforms: YouTube Spotify Rumble Follow the podcast on Facebook @HotRodBluePodcast (https://www.facebook.com/HotRodBluesPodcast) Subscribe to the YouTube channel and be sure to hit the notification bell so you know when the latest episode drops!

For Alex Taylor it all started when Alex was just a few weeks old. The old story of "it's in your blood" really applies here. Born and raised in Booneville, Arkansas, from the time Alex was just a few weeks old a majority of her time was spent at the shop. At the age of 15, Alex and her parents began to build her car. What started as a 12-second Camaro that Taylor drove to high school each day and competed in HOT ROD's Drag Week in 2013 began its transition into the eight-second “Badmaro”.Perhaps more impressive than Taylor’s racing history is her commitment to being a well-rounded driver. She is not only hands-on with every project, does her own tuning/maintenance and keeps all her fans and supporters updated via her social media and her YouTube Channel.
From AlexTaylor's website:IT ALL STARTED WHEN…Really, it all started when Alex was just a few weeks old! The whole, "it's in your blood" thing? Yeah, that applies here! From the time she was just a few weeks old, Alex spent the majority of her time at the shop, especially growing up, as she watched her dad while he worked, and helped when she could! At the age of 15, Alex and her parents began to build her car and at 16 her and her mom took it on Drag Week 2013, and as they say, the rest is history!! Alex's passion for the high performance automotive industry continues to grow.

Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 2 recap - 215 mile drive, tire clearance issues for the #NarxKart, so so tired from only getting 3 hours of sleep. Dino Cardella tells the story of how he and the crew met Carl Werner on the 2014 Hot Rod Drag Week. Over the next few years Carl became a good friend and this trip was a tribute to him. Carl passed away from a battle with lung cancer in 2017. Since RMRW 2.0 was going to hit the same tracks from Drag Week 2014, Dino and the boys decided to bring the LS2 powered Ventura that was once Carl's car!! I'll let Dino tell the rest, but let's just say they had fun and made great memories!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/narxolepticcustoms/support

Dave and Mike go at it a little bit about heads, but don't let that fool you.

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Drag week continues to monopolize the podcast. There are so many things to discuss, and Mike is researching everything 24/7. When questions come up our goto guy is Jason Harding from Katech motorsports. This time, it's an odd issue about what is going on the with the EPA and tuners? Jason knows all about the ins and outs of EPA approval and practices. We will have more about this in future shows, but it is scary stuff for the tuners and street guys. Seriously, if we go to Jason for answers you should too. Doesn't get better than Katech. Continuing with out Drag Week participant schedule Alex Corella calls in to share his story. His 93 Fox body actually uses a Ford engine. With all of the LS swapping going on it's nice to hear some guys stay true to the brand. Alex runs in the Super Street class and has some good stuff. If you listen to guys like Alex and our other guests and don't want to do this, We don't even know what to say. Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.

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.

Phillip Data from King Engine Bearings calls in to give some details about bearing types and construction. We know tons of people who just say, standard crank, give me a set of standard bearings. 90 times out of 100 it will run, is it the right way to do things? No. Phillip gets into some of the variety of bearings King manufactures, and why what bearings are used for a particular purpose. If you are trying to go over an engine yourself, you should do two things. Listen to this show, and give Phillip at King a call. That small amount of research will protect your investment. We look forward to having Phil on again, there is lots more to talk about when it comes to bearings. Continuing with our Drag Week theme, tonights second guest has a unique perspective. PJ Nadeau is not only a Drag Week competitor, he covers the Drag Week event as a contributor for Hot Rod. He has seen the competition side through his own eyes and knows just how hard this is to do. PJ's articles provide coverage for the guys (like us) who are not running in the top class. Everyone who does the Drag Week event deserves some recognition and PJ does a fantastic job telling their stories. Check his articles out on the Drag Week section of Hot Rod.

Mike, Tom, Tad, and in studio Scott Clark. We were all looking forward to this all week. Drag Week registration opened, and we are in. Talk about nice timing, Scott Clark ran his tuning school this past weekend at Fonse Performance and was able stop by the studio the night we record. This whole Drag Week thing has everyone wound up. Tom says we are winning, Mike wants to win, Scott says good luck with that! It's not as easy thing to do, and things that should not break do and just when you don't need them to. One aspect of these types of cars that cannot be stressed enough is tuning. Scott goes over some of the class events, the car they tuned, and the problems they had. If there is one near you we suggest you go check it out. He goes over the upcoming events so it's easy to make the time now. Speaking of winning, multi time winner of the 8.50 class Chris Bishir of Team 260 (two six oh) calls in to continue our Drag Week discussions. Chris has done Drag Week more than a few times, and he's the man to beat. He has this down, and nothing replaces experience. Everyone is gunning for him including Jason Doisher who called in from Anything Automotive. He's another Drag Week veteran, and even give his prediction on who finishes where. There is some great discussion here on the whole "game" of Drag Week. One thing we want everyone to pay attention to is Chris's discussion of the events they are promoting. This type of event is exactly what this sport needs. Pay attention to the details on this, and if you are close, show up. Fireman Jeff with the wonky rods stops by as well. He's got himself a nice new rotating assembly. He had a "mishap" and I know he wants this one right for the long haul. His Chevy SS will be back on the road soon.

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Tom is has returned from Japan. Finally, Tom returns. He was in Japan for a trade show. It sounds like it was actually pretty interesting as long as you like octopus. He's a sick man, what can we say. The plan was to discuss Drag Week, and that was a complete swing and a miss. We need to get Tim from Coast and Howard from Redline in the near future to go over the loose ends. We will save that for another show. Somehow the topic of rod bolts and engine building gets started. Rod bots are by far the most stressed, as well as important, bolt in any engine assembly. There has been lots of discussion of torque, stretch, angle, and a variety of combinations. Mike is a straight up "know what you are working with, use your torque wrench guy". Tom sounds a little more of a stretch guy, and they both agree angle is a little strange overall. Lubes, torque wrenches, and techniques are discussed. It's not super high level stuff, but it is stuff you need to know to be successful at preventing an oil pan failure. Next Injector Dynamics Paul Yaw will be on. This has been a much anticipated guest, and we hope all you guys get questions together and send them on Facebook.... or better yet CALL. The guys will pick you up.

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. It's going to be hard to follow up a show like last weeks. Drag Week is a super cool concept, and the guy are truly interested. Mike has said it before, "you can't have a game without rules" Drag Week has rules and classes. Check out the rules and classes on line, there is something for everyone. The guys actually got a call during what we would loosely call "show prep" time. They talked to the caller, Steve from NJ, and had him hold until after the show open. Steve has a SRT Neon with a 2.4 and was curious about some specific engine questions. The guys did their best, but somewhat uncharted territory. Any real time feed back from listeners on this subject is more than welcome. Tonights guest is James Karger, Dallas freelance tuner and owner of LStune.com. James is the real deal, and well versed in many disciplines of tuning. He tunes everything from the restrictive Viper to the Holley EFI systems used by our guests last week. James is even involved with a dealer optioned Fireball Camaro with 700HP and a warranty. James is responsible for the tuning of Jason Doisher's ride for Drag Week, as well as his own class winning LS powered Mustang. James has loads of good info and insights into tuning and Drag Week. Give this one a listen, and we can't wait to have him back again to get more into the technical details of tuning. Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.

This week 3X NHRA Top Fuel World Champion, Larry Dixon joins Brad Fanshaw, Pete Chapouris and Matt D'Andria. The champ talks about getting back in the seat for a couple of races and how it feels. Then Larry discusses the upcoming SEMA Show and Dixon's Wild Ride podcast. Finally, we get the scoop on Dixon's 1966 Nova that he just took on Drag Week. Wrapping up the show Pete gets gun crazy and Matt again drops the "F" bomb.
Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Once in a while things just work out and this show is one of them. We have a fan, Kevin, who offered to get us some guys who competed in the 2016 Drag Week event. We took him up on his offer, and it could just not have worked out better. Clark Rosenstengel was our first guest, and because the guys don't really follow Drag Week they really don't know anything about the guy. Turns out he uses Bullseye Turbos and we just had Wild Bill from Bullseye on two weeks ago. While talking to him further, we found out he won the class he was in and beat our next guest. His 2010 Camaro runs 7.60s at a weight of 4000LBS. It's quite a ride, and congrats on his hard fought win of his class. Jay Meagher from RealStreet Performance called in next. He drove Jared Holt's killer Supra and knew all about Clark and his path to winning the class. RealStreet is the real deal, and Jay will be back on for a full show at some point in the near future. Lots to talk about with this guy. The next guest was Jason Doisher with his STOCK, yes you read that right, STOCK 5.3 LS single turbo 84 Marquis. Yes, STOCK and goes 8.60s while weighing 3500 LBS. Jason has been competing in Drag Week for the past three years, and has loads of good competition info. All of these guys were great guests, and the show could have been three hours between them. We look forward to having them all back again. This one is a must listen. Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com. Call in number 908 751 0211.
