This was neat to be a part of, Pittsburgh State in Kansas is very close to the Mo-Kan dragway, and decided to not only throw a little money at the class, but offer each racer in the Jr. Street Class on the podium a scholarship to go to school at Pitt State! How awesome is that? Give it a listen, and thanks to them for supporting Jr. Street racing!

Dino and his co-pilot Gary join me and it's my FIRST CASUALTY! Admittedly we were sipping on some hot rod soup (whiskey) before this episode and we lost Hot Carl by the end of it! Luckily Gary kept it together to finish up the episode, but I'm told that Dino was found passed out in the yard during a bathroom break and his wife scurried him into the house and she actually comes and sits in for Dino for a bit!
This one was a blast, and we got way off the rails super quickly but it was so much fun and this one is worth the watch, for sure!
Dino wheels the hot carl ventura, that was once his good buddy Carl Werner's ride, and he now beat's it mercilessly and does funny and weird stuff along drag and drive's now. He even has some "spray me daddy" stickers and some that say "butthurt?" so you know he likes to do the thing! check this one out. You'll be happy you did.

Out of Minnesota, Jason and Liz met while street racing in Jason's uncle's Willy's that he still wheels today, although now it's LS3 powered. He's also got his head's up small tire/small block mustang that's still Ford powered that he's also brought out to the drag and drive world, and he even took that mustang to a first round win over Bryant Goldstone in the shootout for Rocky Mountain Race Week in June of 2024.
This one is long, but it was amazing to talk to these folks. They live and breathe this stuff and they're staples in tons of drag and drives and I'm stoked to call them friends as well.
Check it out! Or else!

Ebben is one of the Rocky Mountain Race Week Jr. Street kids, and he rolls around in a Miata with the plate "zeropwr" and it has a stick shift to boot! We'll talk about getting into Jr Street racing, and what it's like for Darrin to co-pilot for Ebben's antics in the Miata!
Check it out, this was a fun one! Plenty more coming after this as well!

These dudes are great friends of mine, and I've been lucky enough to cruise around the US with them a bunch... REALLY fast. This was a fun time, and Rich even had a couple of coronas, so he got a little loose, and I had to even change his name in the middle of the show.
These guys are both quick stick shift dudes, and Rich went 8.51 on his 8.50 cert with his GTO and Bill has been in the 8.7's, but is looking for some more performance for 2024 and beyond to put some more pressure on Rich.
We had some fun with this one, and I'm sure you will too! Grab a cold one, and buckle up, because this one is worth the listen... I mean they all are, but this one REALLY is.

You probably know Mark from his turbo LS LIMO, yes the one he took the whole 1320 crew for a pass in on a Rocky Mountain Race Week. A few years later he brought a super low mile turbo T/A Firebird with his daughter Mackenzie to run in Jr. Street and an index class and they had the time of their lives! This was a cool one to check out and if you're on the fence about bringing your kid to one of these, watch this one and prepare to be ruined!

I sat down with Clint Sodowsky, a former MLB pitcher and talked about going to the bigs while cruising his cool old Monte Carlo around during, and stepping WAY up into his Camaro, and having as much fun as he's ever had drag and driving that stuff. He's since put Jazzy, his daughter, behind the wheel of the ride and just listed the engine and turbo setup for sale and it'll be interesting to see what's next for that badass 1st gen!
Check it out!

The Pickett's are gangsters. They showed up to a drag and drive a few years ago without a care in the world and with a kid in a mini seat in the middle of the back two sets of doors. The Buick Roadmaster sported a procharged LS in it's early iterations, and now is twin turbo and has the extra fun of the coffin trailer! It's a 7 second capable ride that turns heads everywhere, and they're an awesome family steeped in hot rodding. This is a good one. Check it out!

My first rookie of the year recipient, Danny is the dude that sold EVERYTHING to pursue a race life. It's not all ups in this life and he doesn't mix words, this life is hard, but it's a super rewarding way to live for sure. We talk his diesel cummins Dodge truck, his AWD DSM stick shift ride, and his trip to India to race a 3 wheeled cushman with 10 horsepower 2700 miles across India! Wild stuff.

I finally caught up with Jaycobe after having Alan and Hank on earlier. He's working crazy hours so we had to figure this one out, but I'm happy we did! Jaycobe is one of the 301 street car dudes, and he's Hank's kid, so you know he's got the sickness in his blood. He pilots the Silverback C10 squarebody truck that runs Big Block power. He's one of the cats we got to grow up at these things, went from a kid on the sidelines to a copilot to getting down with it with the big kids in the c10.

A stick shift OG, and a drag week regular, John is a super cool racer, but also a super cool dude. He Coyote swapped his fox Capri (with the cool bubble back window) early in the coyote game, and of course it's got a stick, but his is a box stock magnum t56, and it runs in the 8's! He's also got Goldie, a gold-colored Fairmont with the same program as the Capri, but without the blower, and it does some insane burnouts. We talk hot rods and living a new life after losing literally a whole person plus, and he continues his movement in that world. This was a fun one!

Pat sits down with me and we talk about doing a Rocky Mountain Race Week on a GROM??!?!? This dude is a gangster and also at the exact same time, insane! I loved talking with him and getting some of his background and if you want to do a drag and drive on a bike, you should tune in!
-
Jason is one of those dudes... just a down to earth regular everyday dude, with an unlimited winning 6 second firebird! Owner and driver of the original Meltdown Firebird we'll talk about building that ride, wrecking it on RMRW, rebuilding it and ultimately swapping to a much better chassis for what he's wanting to do with it. Jason is one of my dudes, and I dug talking with him over a couple hours of beers (for me!)

Mike has been through a lot in the last couple of years, and most of it is because Drag and Drive did it to him. A 2020 RaceWeek competitor, he uprooted his life, quit his job, and started preaching the word of Drag and Drive from the highest mountain he could. He also puts on his own event called The Circuit! He's joined here by his brother, Stephen, the man behind the 2.3L turbo 4 MG, and Narxoleptic customs! This is a good one and I had a blast catching up with Mike and Stephen.

David Williams is son of Robert Williams and has been in the Drag and Drive world for quite some time now, but he's also moved into a bunch of different varieties of motorsports, mainly Transcontinental racing, where he met Bradley. These two did Alaska speed week with an LS turbo 3/4 ton suburban, and they're amazing friends and it was a blast to talk to them about weaponizing their autism!
Check this one out! It was a great one.

Denn Angelo and Justin Gilbert are a riot. They just show up to Rocky Mountain Race Week to slay the roadweek awards year after year.
First the candy man van, that has a great backstory to it, and you can watch this one for that story... it's wild! But they showed up with this candy van, did a huge burnout, and tossed a literal pallet of Nerds Candy clusters at everyone throughout the week...
THEN they one up themselves and bring something like 10000 otter pops and a trailer that has 3 a/c units in it and it's like a rave inside! There's a ton of good background for this one too!
Add to that these dudes have regular corporate 9-5 jobs... who knew! This was fun and we do get pretty drunk during this one and it gets long but it's also very good stuff!

Robert Williams is an OG of drag and drive out of the "porkchop motorsports" stables located in Fort Meyers, Florida with a slew of cars, but mostly 2nd gen camaros and firebirds, a disco era nova, and the bizbomb, famous from roadkill. Robert and I have become friends through libations and cars, which are two of our favorite things. We also have our better halves as co-pilots now on this journey as well as life! This is a special one because not long after this interview, Robert had himself a big ol' heart attack, and survived it as he had it IN THE HOSPITAL! He's now helping his son, Robert Jr through a liver transplant and although he's going through a lot right now, he's still looking at what he's going to do next with a car and with Debbie by his side.

WAIT... what? Isn't this my show? I guess not this week! When I had Joe Barry on earlier, he mentioned he'd like to interview me for a week and we make it happen here on episode 17, so if you want to know more about me with the great and powerful Joe Barry asking the questions and running the show, check this one out! This was super fun to do and I am super grateful to call Joe a friend of mine.

This was a show to basically be a driver's meeting for folks just showing up to one of these events. This is a great episode for someone who is looking to go to their first one and get you an idea of what you should expect the first day or so at one of these.
I always love having Matt on, but we got June this time too and that was super fun. She's a blast and not very excited to be in front of a camera with 10's and 10's of viewers, but she was a trooper and it was fun to have them both on, just a couple days before an event.
