Welcome to Episode 160 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit RacingIts the Aussie Invasion with Adam Rogash (the Quickest drag and drive racer in Australia) and the All Stars Drag and Drive event team. We'll talk all things All Stars, but also Aussie drag and drive culture. Plus we have more updates for Havlik's, Heads Up Hustle, and more drag and drive news and entertainment. Summit Racing's speed legacy began in 1968 as a one-man startup and is now the World's Speed Shop® with four facilities and 200+ catalog editions.

From humble origins to the social media lane, Summit Racing stands by your need for speed. Find everything at summitracing.comBefore the Aussie talk, Eric recapped Fuel Fest in Chicago, the drift/car show/concert hybrid from Tyrese and Cody Walker (Paul Walker's brother) benefiting Reach Out Worldwide — he came home with 1,300 more photos for an already massive backlog. His Fox Body rotating assembly is together, though it still needs a timing chain cover gasket. Short Circuit sold out at 100 spots. Bigger news: Jeremy Howell's flat-six stick shift car, long the fastest stick shift in drag-and-drive, sold as a roller with no word on what's next. Fast Lane Racing and JayWire Solutions teased a huge announcement, two-plus years in the making. Dan Casease, on keeping Allstars tight: "We don't want to water it down. We don't want to cut any corners."Talk turned to Adam's 1969 Ford Capri, "the Mac 1," which ran flawlessly at Allstars — zero aborted passes across four days, capping off with a 6.50 at 3,200 pounds. Adam explained how strict Australian road law makes true street-legal builds: real glass windows, full steel bodies, ADR-compliant seats and harnesses, no SFI cages, no Lexan. His workaround is a bolt-on V-band exhaust that lets him pull the turbo J-pipes and legally "de-turbo" the car for street driving in about six hours. He broke down the brutal fuel math — roughly $10/gallon for pump gas versus methanol at a comparatively cheap $3/liter — and how stacking import taxes can balloon a $4,000 US part once GST and fees hit. He's already building his next car, a right-hand-drive chassis with Matt from Moore Race Chassis and input from Steve Morris, aimed at eventually racing Sick Week stateside. On the Capri's week: "Every time we let go of that button, there was not a single aborted pass."Dan and Deli explained how Allstars built its reputation for a tighter ship than other Aussie drag-and-drives, born from wanting better track prep and less of a "social hangout" vibe. The first event drew around 120 entries; the second sold out 200 spots in under two hours. Their "quarantine" system gives top qualifiers extra passes and priority lane access — which let Adam's two-man crew prove they could turn around a six-second car solo, including surviving a mid-event rocker failure thanks to fellow racer Mark Whitler, who drove four hours to deliver spare parts. Their bump-in format ties reaction time directly to ET, with no sitting on a green light building boost. Best moment of the night: Adam daily-drives the Capri for school pickups and bottle shop runs for his wife. Line of the night, on a fellow racer's tiny 13B turbo rotary: "Don't worry, what that car lacks in size, he makes up in personality."

In the second hour of Race Central with Kurt Hansen. Racing Digital Creator Scott Soucy joins the show. As Scott and Kurt talk about the latest in IHRA and NHRA. With speculation of a new owner for IHRA could Bill Bader president of Summit Racing come in to keep the races going on. Kurt breaks down the latest in the world of racing.

Welcome to Episode 159 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit RacingOn this episode, we're talking to CJ Stevenson of SXS Tracker and Sick GPS about security for your hot rod. Then we have Mark Campbell of Deatschwerks on to answer questions about your fuel system and to announce they are now the Title Sponsor for Short Circuit.Plus, Big Sky Race Week updates, Final Results from Street Week Sweden and All Stars Drag and Drive. Summit Racing's speed legacy began in 1968 as a one-man startup and is now the World's Speed Shop® with four facilities and 200+ catalog editions.

Find everything at summitracing.comEpisode 159 Recap: Tracking Devices and Fuel System Deep DivesDon't Make It Easy: A Crash Course in Not Getting Your Car StolenCJ Stevenson joined to talk tracking devices: a Sick GPS unit runs $150 with a full year of service, then about $24 a year after, far less than most subscription-based competitors charge. The real value is peace of mind. CJ shared a story about a stolen side-by-side that, once recovered, led police to a trailer holding a stolen Pro Mod car and a stash of Harleys.Mike and Eric also ran through a few cheap ideas: lock the doors, remove the steering wheel, disconnect the ECU, add a hidden kill switch, use real trailer hitch locks, and don't be the easiest car in the lot to take.Building a Fuel System From Scratch, With DeatschWerksMark Campbell from DeatschWerks walked through the fuel system going into Eric's turbo LS Mustang build: dual 810 lph in-tank pumps, a 1500cc injector, a return-style regulator, and a properly sized -8 feed line.The standout nugget was DeatschWerks bucket-and-fuel-cell hanger technology, using active return-line filling and one-way valves to keep the pump submerged even when the tank is nearly empty.Mark also broke down injector sizing myths: bigger isn't always better, and a well-matched 1500cc injector can idle smoothly while still supporting over 1,500 horsepower.The news drop: DeatschWerks is officially the Title Sponsor of Short Circuit at Route 66 Roundup, which comes with two free race entries the team plans to give away to Race Car Friends.Around the World: Sweden and Australia DeliverStreet Week Sweden crowned Michael Westberg the overall winner in Max Outlaw with a blistering 4.2261. All Stars Drag and Drive in Australia saw Adam Rogash post the quickest total ET in Australian drag-and-drive history in the Unlimited class, a staggering 17.793 across three days, including a run in the 4-second range.DDR Housekeeping: Registration, Awards, and a Route RevealShort Circuit registration opens Friday at 9am Eastern for prior participants, with public registration following Saturday morning. The Drag and Drive Awards are moving from Thursday to Friday, December 11th at 3pm during PRI 2026. The Route 66 Roundup heads south through Bristow for a Feed the Racers stop at Crossroads Diner, then through Jenks past the Oklahoma Aquarium before finishing at Velocity Motorsports. And in Race Car Friends news: congrats to Laney Mackey, who got engaged to Aiden Stone during Big Sky Race Week.

Welcome to Episode 133 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit RacingDrag and Drive events dropped like CRAZY at PRI 2025, we recap all the new events, dates and tracks.

Their favorite cars, booths, bars and the stars they saw.

PRI Week Begins: Big Plans, Big Guests, and the Biggest Drag-and-Drive Presence Ever | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 132 Presented by Summit RacingEpisode 132 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar mix of excitement and exhaustion. PRI week had officially arrived, and the DDR team was juggling last-minute logistics, booth planning, travel schedules, livestream timing, giveaways, banners, and ten different people texting Mike and Eric at the same time about cords, camera bags, shirts, and interviews.This wasn't a normal DDR episode. This was the PRI Pre-Show.And the goal was simple: Lay out exactly what fans can expect during the biggest motorsports tradeshow in the country.Mike summed up the mood right away:“I don't know how we're gonna do it all, but we're gonna get it done.”With thousands of racers, builders, manufacturers, and fans already flying into Indianapolis, Drag Drive Repeat prepared to bring the drag-and-drive world front and center for three straight days.

Stories From the Road, Lessons From the Grind | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 131 presented by Summit Racing – Featuring Ry KlempIntroduction: The Stories That Define a CommunityEpisode 131 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar tone. Calm. Direct. Warm in the way only drag-and-drive people can be warm, even while they joke about broken parts, sleepless nights, and gas-station parking lot repairs.This episode wasn't about big announcements or season-ending drama. It was about people. People doing their best under tough conditions. People helping each other when things break. People finishing what they started even when it hurts.Mike Narx and Eric White welcomed Ry Klemp, the racer whose name became synonymous with the “Best Story of the Year” award. His willingness to talk about failure, pain, brotherhood, and the real side of drag-and-drive shaped the soul of the episode.And for the next two hours, the show unfolded into an honest set of stories about struggle, hope, weird failures, victories that don't show on a timeslip, and the kind of road-family moments that keep racers coming back.

Epic Roads, Hard Miles, and a Wild West Finish | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 presented by Summit Racing – Wild West Drag & DashDrag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 opened with a tone that felt both reflective and energized. This wasn't just another show — it was the bridge between the year's last major events and the coming wave of off-season rebuilds, PRI announcements, winter thrashes, and 2026's new drag-and-drive era.Mike Narx and Eric White carried the same lighthearted banter they always do, but the sense of pride was unmistakable. Between the Wild West Drag & Dash finale, Sick Summer photos dropping, and PRI prep hitting a sprint, you could tell the team was running full throttle while still enjoying every minute.“Race car friends, this is Episode 130 — how did we even get here?” Mike laughed early on. “It's been the longest year and the shortest year at the same time.”EP 130 delivered a hard-hitting mix of gratitude, year-end perspective, technical celebration, sponsor spotlights, and a full Wild West Drag & Dash recap — a send-off worthy of one of the tightest and most emotionally charged events of 2025.What followed was two hours of storytelling, racer recognition, behind-the-scenes insight, and one final reminder of why drag-and-drive continues to grow: people, passion, and a willingness to test themselves against the road.

Zack Kanter is the founder and CEO of Stedi, an API-first healthcare clearinghouse. After bootstrapping a wildly profitable auto-parts business, he sold it to tackle "the most complicated problem" he'd ever encountered: business-to-business transaction exchange. He spent years building EDI infrastructure, threw away the entire codebase eight times, and found extraordinary traction in healthcare. Stedi recently raised a $70M Series B co-led by Stripe and Addition. In this conversation, Brett and Zack discuss why venture capital means "going pro," why execution is never actually a moat, and how "eating glass" became Stedi's competitive advantage. In today's episode, we discuss: How 16-year-old Zack turned $2,500 into a wholesale empire Why bootstrapping means being "constrained by capital" and how VC removes that ceiling Why Zack rebuilt their EDI product eight times before launch The snake swallowing a deer: what extreme product-market fit really looks like What software companies can learn from discount retail and Toyota Why Stedi's new hires are told "everything's your fault now" And much more Where to find Zack: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zkanter Twitter/X: https://x.com/zackkanter Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast References: Aetna: https://www.aetna.com/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/ Blue Cross Blue Shield: https://www.bcbs.com/ Change Healthcare: https://www.changehealthcare.com/ Cigna: https://www.cigna.com/ Clay: https://www.clay.com/ Costco: https://www.costco.com/ Ford Motor Company: https://www.ford.com/ GM: https://www.gm.com/ HIPAA overview (HHS): https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html Jeff Bezos: https://x.com/JeffBezos Kanban / TPS (Toyota): https://global.toyota/en/company/vision-and-philosophy/production-system Microsoft Teams: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams NetSuite: https://www.netsuite.com/ O'Reilly Auto Parts: https://www.oreillyauto.com/ Peter Thiel: https://x.com/peterthiel Porter's five forces: https://www.isc.hbs.edu/strategy/pages/the-five-forces.aspx "Reality has a surprising amount of detail": https://johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/reality-has-a-surprising-amount-of-detail Slack: https://slack.com/ Stedi: https://www.stedi.com/ Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/ Target: https://www.target.com/ Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ Zapier: https://zapier.com/ Timestamps: (01:24) Zack's first business (08:54) Why the first customer is tricky (10:12) The downside of bootstrapping (11:42) Why venture capital is like “going pro” (14:20) The confusion between ownership vs. control (16:08) Building a company you don't want to leave (20:46) Do things better than other people (24:49) Stedi's early years (31:43) Physical vs. digital product-market fit (34:41) How Stedi scaled decision-making (40:08) Stedi's journey to product-market fit (45:22) Finding founder-approach fit (50:42) “All software is a cascade of miracles” (52:52) The surprising lessons from discount retail (57:50) How the Toyota production system influences software (1:01:31) What it means to be a high-agency person (1:03:09) The core trait Zack looks for when hiring (1:02:57) Maintaining conviction in unconventional practice (1:14:19) When should you start to hire managers?
