Diesel Performance Podcast

Paul and Chris wrap up the first day of the UCC 2018 when a little drama on the track caught their attention.

Trevor Peterson captured the top qualifier spot on the DYNO with 2,100HP. Paul and Chris talk to him and his wife Trista about it. Then we learn about Trevor's strategy moving into the drag race and sled pull events. For now, Trevor Peterson is the top qualifier.

Jordan Molenaar says he's brought a knife to a gunfight. With his 2008 F350, Jordan says he's ready to win big in the sled pull competition, and that's it. But if he can make it through all events without breaking it's a win-win.

The Wounded Warrior Project helps veterans get back on their feet after serving in areas of conflict, like Iraq and Afghanistan. Big events like the Ultimate Callout Challenge offer opportunities to the WWP because here they can meet other vets - maybe even encounter those who may need their help. The organization provides outreach to help vets in need. Paul talks to Jesse Babson of Detroit, Michigan - an Army vet who served two tours - one in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan.

Jaran Holder explains why he's not participating in this year's UCC. It's expensive, time consuming and his truck is different now.

Mark Downing joins Paul and Chris and together they predict the outcome of the UCC 2018.

Paul and Chris kick off the first of many interviews with Manfred Schreyer of Longhorn Fab of Brookeville, Ohio. In this podcast, Paul, Chris, and Manfred explain why the UCC deserves everyone's support.

Chris and Paul say welcome from the UCC 2018!

Diesel Power Magazine's Kaje Jones welcomes Diesel Performance Podcast's Chris Ehmke and Paul Wilson to a Facebook live event where he announced this year's competitors. The announcement comes from the site of the Ultimate Callout Challenge 2018!

Ryan Phaff knows the drill - finish all three events: sled pull, drag race, and dyno without breaking. That's what he hopes to do as a qualifier for this year's UCC. If he finishes in the top 5, he returns in 2019 as a competitor. Paul and Chris learn about the truck Ryan says have no secrets.
