Spectators drift between polished British roadsters and brass-era antiques. But tucked between the hillside trees and the makeshift paddock, the heartbeat of real racing still pulses. Engines crack like thunder through the valley, and their echoes pull unsuspecting people toward the fence line like moths. Garrett Craig was one of those unsuspecting people.

At the top of dirt late model racing, there are only a handful of major chassis players. But when you venture away from the big tours, there are others building, pushing things forward, and helping people go race. On this special episode of the Daily, Warrior Race Cars owner Mike Nuchols takes us inside racing at the local and regional level, talks the cost of late model racing, putting dirt late models in a wind tunnel, and a lot more.
In this episode of SOIC, we discuss a powerful investing mental model called product mix change. We analyze two precision engineering companies — SANSERA Engineering and Shriram Pistons & Rings — to understand how legacy auto businesses are using their cash flows to build future-ready segments.Sansera is moving beyond ICE auto components into aerospace, defence, semiconductors, and EV-agnostic parts, while Shriram Pistons is using its pistons business as a cash cow to expand into automotive interiors and ambient lighting through acquisitions.This episode is not about buy or sell recommendations. It is initial research focused on understanding how businesses transition over time and how investors can track long-term value creation using the product mix change framework.

Engines draw a crowd, but design keeps people talking. From a lively morning at Tailpipes and Tacos, we sit down with architect and hot rodder Marshall Reed to explore how a thoughtfully built '32 Ford roadster can bridge craftsmanship, culture, and the pure joy of driving. His satin black, brushed finish and hand pinstriping show how restraint and texture can be more striking than a mirror glaze, while a ZZ4 350 and Tremec five-speed deliver the kind of engagement only a three-pedal car can give.We trade stories from the Austin Roundup—how the vibe shifted from tripod-friendly nights on South Congress to curated, policed corridors—and what that means for today's scene. The conversation widens to the Houston Roadster Club and Bruce's Rod Shop, where builds become classrooms and new enthusiasts find mentors. Then a Brazilian-market VW Bus, complete with curtains, becomes a perfect metaphor: remove one small detail and it's just a bus; add it back and a whole lifestyle appears. That's the heart of customization—small, intentional choices that turn a parts list into a personality.Between laughs and margaritas, we detour into delightfully odd racing formats—lawnmowers, figure-eight trains, and a pig-hauling tractor sprint in Tillamook County—before grounding the show with a clear-eyed look at the Tricolor bankruptcy and how to protect yourself with titles, financing, and trustworthy dealers. We wrap with automotive history notes that connect Pontiac's streamlined 1937s, Chrysler's wedge V8s, Corvette's production leap, and the first-gen Prius—all milestones that show how innovation and accessibility keep car culture moving.If you love hot rods, design details, and the community that makes it all possible, you'll feel right at home.

The Independent Characters - A Warhammer 40k Podcast | Radio
In Episode 270 of The Independent Characters, we bring our monumental exploration of Titans to a close by venturing beyond the Imperium to the heretical, alien, and utterly bizarre god-engines that stalk the galaxy. In this second part of our two-part series, we delve into the corrupted Chaos Titans of the Dark Mechanicum - twisted reflections of their loyalist kin whose Machine Spirits have long since merged with the daemonic will of the Warp. From Iconoclasts and Infernals to the infamous Daemon Engines of the Traitor Legios, we examine how the powers of the Warp reshape these once-holy engines into entities of madness and malice. But the galaxy's gods of war are not limited to humanity's machines. We turn our attention to the Xenos Titans, the elegant, wraithbone Aeldari Phantoms and Revenants, the ramshackle yet terrifying Ork Gargants, and even the living, bio-engineered horrors of the Tyranids that serve as their own monstrous equivalents. Each race has its own vision of what it means to command destruction on a titanic scale, and their designs reveal as much about their cultures as their weapons do about their wars. On the tabletop, we explore how these colossal war engines appear across games like Warhammer 40,000, Horus Heresy, Adeptus Titanicus, and Legions Imperialis, comparing their aesthetics, rules, and battlefield impact. Whether it's a Gargant's laughter echoing through the smoke, an Aeldari Titan striding like a ghost through reality, or a corrupted Warlord roaring praise to the Dark Gods, each represents a unique expression of power at its most absolute.

The company's Eagle and Falcon engines proved vital because they could sustain continuous operation for over 10 hours without requiring refurbishment or maintenance, making them ideally suited for the demanding 20-hour transatlantic journeY. 1921

The Independent Characters - A Warhammer 40k Podcast | Radio
Episode 269 of The Independent Characters strides onto the battlefield with a thunderous step as we begin a two-part exploration of the greatest war machines ever to walk the galaxy - the Titans. In this first installment, we turn our gaze to the Imperial God-Engines of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Collegia Titanica, delving deep into their origins, traditions, and the awe-inspiring lore that surrounds them. From the Titan Legions of the Great Crusade to the battles of the 41st Millennium, we trace how these towering avatars of the Omnissiah came to symbolize the Imperium's divine right to rule through fire and steel. We discuss the classes and hierarchy of Imperial Titans - from the swift Warhound Scout Titans to the legendary Warlord and the near-mythic Imperator - and examine the sacred bond between the Princeps, Moderati, and their god-machine. These are not mere machines, but walking cathedrals of destruction, powered by faith and fury in equal measure. On the tabletop, Imperial Titans have taken many forms across Games Workshop's systems, and we look at how these behemoths are represented in Warhammer 40,000, Horus Heresy, Adeptus Titanicus, and Legions Imperialis. Whether you command a Titan Maniple in Adeptus Titanicus or field a Warlord in an Apocalypse-scale 40K battle, these engines of war have remained a constant source of fascination and terror. We also discuss the stunning models that bring them to life; each one a feat of design that captures the impossible scale and grandeur of the Imperium's god-machines. This episode marks the beginning of our most monumental topic yet, and it's only the first half of the story. In Episode 270, we'll turn our auspex toward the Xenos counterparts; the alien god-engines of the Orks, Aeldari, and beyond to see how other races of the galaxy answer the thunderous challenge of the Imperium's Titans!

Developing and Launching the First Falcon 9. Eric Berger recounts the difficult summer of 2009 preparing the first Falcon 9 booster, featuring nine Merlin engines housed in an octagonal web. Engineers endured intense 100-hour weeks handling complex wiring and propulsion plumbing. The subsequent road trip from Texas to Florida was arduous, including crashing the rocket's interstage into a building. Despite severe issues, like storm-fried antennas, an impatient Elon Musk pushed for a successful launch in June 2010, securing potential NASA contracts. Guest: Eric Berger.
