“I just want to see motorsport be as awesome as it can possibly be… can we make this more meaningful? So there's more to care about?”When J.R. Hildebrand says racing is broken, people listen. A few weeks ago, Hildebrand unveiled a discussion project called Blackbird 66. Maybe, he says, the future of motorsport lies in a hella-sexy 1000-horse Indy car with zero downforce. Twist my arm.Hildebrand: 2011 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year, drives a 1960 Cadillac named Rosie. He last hit INTC on Episode 72, when he talked about running a Winston Cup car in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.Two things the man believes: One, racing thrives on obvious humanity. And two, aerodynamic downforce has ruined competition and should mostly get flushed.He's right about both, you know.(The official answer to the question in this episode's title: HELL YES WE DO.)***LINKS FROM THIS EP: Blackbird 66: https://www.blackbird66.com/JRH on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jrhildebrand/Dan Gurney's 1979 White Paper: https://legacy.allamericanracers.com/wp/formation-of-cart-dan-gurney/This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

This is the week of the 2024 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and our car and the team are up on the mountain getting ready for the race this Sunday. With all that is going on, we didn't have the chance to record a new episode of the Podcast, so this seemed like the perfect time to go back to our Pikes Peak Roundtable from episode 30 of the Podcast. This was recorded as we were getting ready for the 2021 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and we had on a number of guests with a ton of experience on Pikes Peak. We talk to: Scott Crouch - Flatirons Tuning driver Andy Kingsley Stephan Verdier Victor Kuhns Dave Kern It was a great discussion, and definitely worth checking out if you missed this episode. Thanks for watching and thanks for your support!

Mitchell of Racing with Mitchell joins us as guest host this week. On this episode, the first man ever to step into Victoria's Secretexpresses his frustration that the store doesn't sell car bras. His plan to put a car bra on his cobra prompts a discussion about vintage automotive accessories and the desire to see certain technologies make a comeback. Meanwhile, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, already an intense challenge, is set to become even more exhilarating with the addition of a Rainbow Road. This sparks reflections on personal experiences with dangerous driving situations and inquiries about Mario Kart skills. Audi, for the 30th consecutive year, reigns supreme as the least desirable German car brand, fueling the friendly rivalry among car enthusiasts. The conversation delves into Jon's allegiance to BMW, a Mitchell's recent switch from a Miata to an RX8, and the intriguing Hybrid Renesis build. Lastly, car-loving fathers inadvertently contribute to a significant increase in flashlight phobia among adolescents, prompting a reflection on the practical skills passed down from dads.   But of course we wrap up with The Motorhead Blitz. Mitchell takes a shot at 10 current even trivia questions to try and dethrone the current King Motorhead!

World renowned EFI tuner, Shane Tecklenburg joins Hidden Horsepower for a wide ranging conversation about his career and the endless possibilities associated with Electronic Fuel Injection. "Shane T" discusses some of the pitfalls of EFI and gives some opinions on how to avoid them. Hosts Keith Jones and Joe Castello ask questions about the many projects that Shane has taken on including Bonneville with George Poteet's Speed Demon, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and of course, the drag strip.

For episode 114 of the Flatirons Syndicate podcast, Jon, Wyatt, and Dylan sit down to first talk about the 2023 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The 101st Pikes Peak Hill Climb was just a few days ago as we recorded this, and there were a number of records that fell, so we wanted to start off talking about our impressions of the race this year. From there, the guys talk about an increasingly common occurrence when it comes to looking for parts for older Subaru's which is discovering that the part that you need is not available any more. They talk about options and what companies like Roger Clark Motorsports are doing to bring some of the most needed parts back. Finally, a story is making the rounds about a 2022 WRX that is now making 600 whp on the stock engine. What does this mean, and how does it change the impressions of the new chassis? Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!

NASCAR made an impressive entry into the 24 Hours of Le Mans race with a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The project, backed by NASCAR and Hendrick Motorsports, featured renowned drivers like Mike Rockenfeller, Jenson Button, and Jimmie Johnson. Despite facing some criticism from rival teams, the Camaro performed well, setting lap times faster than the GTE cars. However, transmission trouble forced the car to undergo repairs. Ultimately, it finished 39th out of 62 cars. In another Le Mans comeback, Ferrari triumphed after a 50-year absence. The race saw intense competition between Ferrari and Toyota, with the Ferrari eventually emerging victorious due to issues faced by Toyota. The 2024 Acura Integra Type S will participate in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, while an amusing incident occurred in Colorado when a driver tried to avoid a DUI arrest by switching places with his dog. Finally, a recap of some popular opinions on topics like dealing with car leaks, the status of Pluto as a planet, and the reactions to the check engine light.   Finally, we cover A Moment in History with The Ocean to Ocean Automobile Endurance Race. A transcontinental race held in 1909 from New York City to Seattle. It aimed to promote the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo. Henry Ford's Model T emerged as the winner, showcasing the potential of the motor car. However, Ford was later disqualified for swapping a motor, and the second-place Shawmut car was awarded the win. The race was re-enacted in 2009 with 55 Model T Fords taking the same route.

Converting a FWD Honda to a RWD platform is not easy task, but it does come with some solid benefits as we will discuss looking at this F20c powered space framed Honda Prelude [TECH TOUR].Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWith an Ethanol fed, 24-26 PSI boosted, 9,000 RPM 750hp Dandy Engines F20c boasting Eagle Rods, factory crank and camshafts (because they're that good), aftermarket pistons, SuperTech valves and a new Garrett G35-900, this Fastr sponsored RWD converted Honda Prelude is no slouch in its regular appearances in the ACL Race Series.Professional driver Brett Dickie took a few moments while at the World Time Attack Challenge to discuss his build (with the help of his skilled father) discussing the some of the advantages the rear wheel drive (RWD) conversion gives a driver behind the wheel along with his thoughts in passing on EMtrons torque management system.As you might have guessed, the car runs an ProWire Performance Wiring fitted EMtron KV8 ECU along with a MoTeC CDL dash for some extra logging bandwidth and driver display duties which Brett felt was the best combination he could get for performance and his requirements without blowing out the budget too far. We caught up with Brett just before his first run with the new Garrett G35-900 turbocharger which is replacing a 3076 and we look forward to getting his thoughts on a comparison next time we chat along with some of the data this system can and will provide him with as he and his team gets it all dialed in with the help of a Turbosmart E-Gate (electronic wastegate), DBW blow off valve, MAP sensors pre and post the throttle body and an exhaust pressure sensor.With no bolt-on solution available, the dry sump setup is a mix of BDG dry sump components and a custom sump, with Brett sharing some thoughts on what he has learnt and would do differently second time around. Tucked behind the F series engine is a 6 speed TTi GTO sequential gearbox and Motorsport Services strain gauge lever which feeds a GJ Drivelines driveshaft and R200 LSD diff center nicked from a Nissan Skylines rear end. The Nissan parts list also includes the uprights, with 300ZX ones used to help try and reign in custom work and give more bolt in part options, and of course being something that physically worked with the package.Also touched on are some of the boost control strategies employed, but Brett is pretty straight up that his knowledge is more focused on being behind the wheel than behind the laptop, and with 20+ years of it his no doubt his feedback goes a long way to help dial things in for race day.You can catch Brett and this build racing in the ACL Race Series, and you can catch Brett racing other cars like the previous title winning Elusive Racing DC2 Integra at the World Time Attack Challenge as well as other cars in Global Time Attack and Pikes Peak Hill Climb events.

Motos and Friends is brought to you by the Yamaha R7, your gateway to a new generation of supersport machine. In our first segment, Editor Don Williams rides the new Suzuki GSX-8S. This highly anticipated upright-naked sportbike features the all-new parallel twin from the big S, and we have been very excited to try it out. Don really liked the motor in Suzuki's new V-Strom, so it'll be interesting to see if it is perhaps even better suited to a street bike. The big question of course, is who exactly is the target rider for the 8S? Speaking of sportbikes, the Isle of Man TT is arguably the most fearsome, intense—as well as the longest—motorcycle race in the world. The Superbike races are around 225 Miles and 1200 corners, including 2 full pit stops! It takes a very special level of skill, courage, and yes, a large dollop of insanity too, to ride in, let alone win, a TT race. The TT is always the first week in June, so it's on right now—see the links below. Just in time for this year's event, I chat with my Aussie friend, Rennie Scaysbrook. Rennie is the Road Test Editor for Cycle News magazine here in the US. As a fellow journalist, he and I have tested motorcycles at tracks all over the world; he's a great guy, a good laugh. He holds the record for the challenging Pikes Peak Hill Climb, so as you might imagine, he's an especially talented rider too. Rennie rode the IOM TT last year in the Supersport category and acquitted himself well, despite some technical gremlins. He's riding again this year for the Craig Wilson team, but this time he's on a Superstock-class Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR-SP. Now that's a whole different ballgame! Rennie's descriptions of riding the sections around the famed TT course are absolutely electrifying. Do you think you've got the mental fortitude, concentration, and level of skill that it takes to thread the TT needle on country roads through tiny villages at 195 miles per hour? Rennie's take on riding the TT will likely answer that for you. This chat is a doozy—so hold on to your hat for this one.

I get guest suggestions sent to me regularly, and this show is the result of one of those. Dave Kallmann messaged me on Twitter to suggest a few motorsports photographers, and that instantly intrigued me. Dave is a sports reporter for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and he is one hell of a photographer himself. If he was suggesting someone then I knew I had to take a look, and man, I am so glad that I did. Jamey Price is a motorsport and automotive photographer from Charlotte, North Carolina, and he is in a league of his own. If you've watched or listened to show for any amount of time, you'll know that I spend a lot of time looking through my guest's work to try and find common threads, those things that seem to connect all of the shots together. Many photographers have these fine threads that seem to weave from image to image, a way that they tell their story that is unique to them. For Jamey it's motion. Let me explain... As a motorsports photographer, of course Jamey is photographing things in motion, and when I say motion I mean speed, but that's not the thread I am talking about. Jamey has an ability to coney to the viewer a feeling of actual motion. Through the use of panning, a creative depth of field, or a dragged shutter, Jamey makes you feel like you are along for the ride. I'm not sure if you can motion sickness from a photo, but if you can then you'd be advised to view Jamey's work carefully. I am left wondering if Jamey's early career choices played a role in the resulting images I see. Jamey was a thoroughbred steeplechase horse racing jockey and exercise rider in the United States, England and Ireland. He rode in more than 50 races, and notched 11 wins in the saddle, all the while taking photos between his races. He eventually self published a book titled "Chasing: Racing Life in England & Ireland." In 2011, Jamey's photography career path switched from horses, to horse power. Since then, his images have been published around the world in magazines, newspapers and websites including The New York Times, HotRod, Hagerty, MAXIM, Car&Driver, CycleWorld, Road&Track, Autoweek, RACER, MotorTrend, Autosport, F1 Racing magazine, Motorsport Magazine, Formula1.com, Lamborghini.com, TopGear.com, Blackbird Automotive Journal, Popular Mechanics, Sports Illustrated & ESPN and many others. Named Motorsport Photographer of the Year in 2019 by the National Motorsports Press Association, Jamey currently does freelance work supplying racing and marketing imagery to some of the most respected automotive brands, photographers, agencies and racing teams and drivers across the world including: Lamborghini & Lamborghini Squadra Corse, Ferrari, Ducati, Audi Canada, Acura, Red Bull, Ford, Bentley, Goodyear, PUMA, MOTUL, RM Sotheby's, Aston Martin Racing, Manor Racing F1 team, Force India Formula 1 team, Renault Formula 1 team, Alpine Formula 1 Team, Williams Formula 1 team, Toyota Gazoo Racing, the Macau Grand Prix and many more. Though primarily sticking to the motor racing and automotive world, Jamey has photographed a diverse range of sporting assignments from professional swimming, to the Kentucky Derby & Breeders' Cup Horse Racing World Championships, NFL games, US Women's National team soccer, and of course the fast-paced world of NASCAR, World Endurance Championship, Formula E, IMSA Weathertech Championship, NHRA, Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Indycar & the Indy 500, MotoGP, 24 hours of Le Mans, 24 hours of Nürburgring, more than 35 Formula 1 races, and a little bit of everything in between! Jamey has been the staff photographer for successful Charlotte based luxury print magazine, QC Exclusive and Discover the Carolinas since 2014 and is a sponsored LEXAR Elite Artist. Join award winning photographer, and LEXAR Elite Artist, Jamey Price and me as we peek into his world of F1 Motorsports Photography, on this Behind the Shot.

As an 8-year-old, Pastor Don Wickstrum ("Fastest Pastor") had a dream to race in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb after seeing Bobby Unser do it on TV.  Despite his dream, Don eventually created one of the largest robotic integrators in the country.In 2018, Don received a doctor's report that no one wants to hear—colon cancer. His doctor advised Don to step away from his business to extend his life. The diagnosis would put Don on a new journey with purpose and fulfillment. This former atheist accepted Jesus Christ with a new perspective on his life. Whatever Don was going to do, it would include serving God because of his deep understanding of who he was in Christ.A friend encouraged Don to pursue his dream. After he and his wife sought God's direction, Don's childhood dream would come to true. Eventually, the multimedia company “I Am Second”, founded by Norm Miller, would document Don's story in a movie called, “Chasing Hope.” The film follows Don as he shares the Hope of Jesus Christ on and off the track. Don will race again on June 25, 2023. He will race 12.42 miles that day complete with 156 turns. With each turn, Don will face each one, all while Chasing Hope.------------------------FROM THE SHOW:Don's website:https://fastestpastor.com/"Chasing Hope" Movie:https://www.iamsecond.com/film/chasing-hope/I Am Second website:https://www.iamsecond.com/Book Don to Speak:https://fastestpastor.com/speaking----------------------------------------MORE ABOUT THE PODCAST:Behind The Mike website:https://BehindTheMikePodcast.comEmail:Mike@BehindTheMike.netRate & Review on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-mike-conversations-of-hope/id1491102872SPONSOR:Covenant EyesGet 30-days FREE using promo code:  BEHINDTHEMIKEhttps://covenanteyes.comSupport the showhttps://buymeacoffee.com/TheMikePodSupport the showWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!FacebookInstagramTikTok

Pastor Don has had a dream since he was 8 years old of being able to conquer the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.  A dream that seemed way far out of reach for him to even achieve.  Over the years PD (has he is affectionately known), has been involved in racing and ministry all while being a serial entrepreneur and owning one of the largest robotic integrators in the country .  In late 2018 all of this would change with a diagnosis from his doctor in which colon cancer was aggressively inhabiting his body, forcing him to sell his business and evaluate the future.   Refusing to let it shut him down he wanted to push to live life and reach others with the Gospel.  That's when a friend of his offered to help him accomplish his bucket list item of racing Pikes Peak Hill Climb.  However little did he know the battle to complete the Pikes Peak Hill Climb while fighting cancer would be a multi-year journey with crashes, challenges, and failure will he make it to the summit? https://fastestpastor.com/

**We're spending a couple of weeks away from the microphone over the Christmas and New Year period. This means that although we won't be publishing any new guest appearances until mid-January, we're going to be bringing back some of our favourite older episodes that deserve another listen.**This week's episode of the HPA Tuned In podcast is a fascinating one as we dig into the finer details of building and driving one of the fastest hill climb cars on earth with Robin Shute of the Sendy Club.Recorded just a few days after Robin's recent third consecutive overall win at the 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, this ace driver and automotive engineer is coming off a brutal week full of engine fires, sleep deprivation, and appalling weather conditions — and he has a whole lot to say about the experience.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inSure, someone wins Pikes Peak every year, but the difference with Robin and The Sendy Club team is that they aren't backed by a big manufacturer opening up the chequebook in search of glory — it's a bunch of (admittedly very smart and talented) enthusiasts who've come together to dominate at the world's greatest hill climb event.As an automotive engineer and top-level driver, Robin is an absolute goldmine of information when it comes to not just driving exceptionally fast cars, but the finer, nerdier details of building them too. A lot of time is spent in this podcast pouring through the details of the Sendy Club's incredible Honda K-powered Wolf hill climb car.

Don "Fastest Pastor" Wickstrum joins the show today to talk about how he has overcame countless amounts of obstacles, including a battle with cancer, crashing cars on the side of a mountain, and wrestling with the existence of God. Throughout Don's life, he has had a desire to conquer one of the most dangerous racing tracks in the world: Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Little did he know that his journey to get to that point was even more crazier than driving 140 mph on the side of dangerous mountain. Listen as Don and Ken discuss how he has been able to not only overcome adversity on the track, but in his life. While going from atheist to pastor and engineer to race car driver, Don has managed to find Christ's peace along the way and show thousands of people how to overcome obstacles that are put in your way. Don's new documentary, "Chasing Hope" by I Am Second productions, is out NOW to view! Go check it out (and make sure to grab something to wipe your tears).

Dai Yoshihara is a  professional driver who has competed in Formula D,  Time Attack, Road Racing, and Hill Climb. And it all started with a motorcycle. Sort of.  On this episode we find out how Dai got his start in driving, drifting, and the unlikely meeting that led to his first drift event and ultimately, his career. Dai walks us through his car history; the differences between road racing and drifting; why he loves the Pikes Peak Hill Climb; his AE86 builds; and the one race car he would own if he could. Some of his most notable  moments: he won the Formula D championship in 2011, 3rd place in the 25  Hours of Thunderhill, 1st overall in the 2019 Global Time Attack Super  Lap Battle,  and took 1st place in the Unlimited class  (and 9th  overall) at the  Pikes Peak International Hill Climb of 2020. He's also  been a drift judge, a precision driver,  co-hosted a show on Hagerty  along with our own Zack Klapman, and has been the face of many brands.    Recorded August 16, 2022   Head to Policygenius.com to get your free life insurance quotes and see how much you could save. Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

Born with a passion for speed and fast cars, John found early racing success behind the wheel of a modified Mitsubishi 3000GT at events such as the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and the Silver State Classic. Hennessey even set a world speed record in his class at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Fueled by his passion for racing, horsepower, and speed, John began modifying imports out of his garage in 1991 – it wasn't long before his 1,000-hp twin-turbocharged Dodge Vipers were getting international attention in celebrated automotive publications such as Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Top Gear, and Road & Track. John quickly opened a dedicated performance shop, which grew to be one of the largest independent automotive tuners in the world. Hennessey became a name synonymous with performance – “the American icon of speed and the open road” – and the company's vehicles were being offered and sold to a global market. By the numbers, more than 10,000 specialty vehicles, including mid-engine supercars, six-wheeled supertrucks, and modern muscle cars have been improved with Hennessey performance modifications.

Today, the Hennessey facilities in Texas include a large manufacturing plant and a dedicated test track – where vehicles may be tested at speeds of up to 150 mph. Tuner School, the only teaching institution of its kind, offers the next generation of automotive enthusiasts hands-on education to the art of making vehicles faster.

This week begins with some sad news as three-time Indianapolis 500 winning driver Bobby Unser passed away late Sunday night after a lengthy illness at the age of 87. Upon reflecting on the life of this Indy 500 legend (who is also a 10-time Pikes Peak Hill Climb champion), a line from Dr. Seuss comes to mind: “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Not only was Unser one of IndyCar racing's most legendary drivers, he was also one of its greatest personalities. He was fast and fearless on the track, and talkative and controversial outside of the car.  He won 37 IndyCar Series races in both the United States Auto Club (USAC) and CART. He also won 52 poles in his career. His Indy 500 wins came in 1968, 1975 and 1981. Once his racing career was over, Unser became part of ABC's television crew that telecast the Indianapolis 500 and other IndyCar races on TV. His personality and bombastic style made him a fan favorite. The episode of Pit Pass Indy is entirely devoted to Unser as host Bruce Martin gives his highly personal reflections on a driver who was a hero as a youngster and became a close friend in life. Racing legend and 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner Mario Andretti, a friend with Unser for most of his career and one of his fiercest rivals, gives his thoughts on Unser. Also, four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears pays tribute to his former teammate at Penske Racing. Instead of recapping the doubleheader action at Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend, those interviews will be part of next week's show on Pit Pass Indy. Learn more about your ad choices.
