Drag Drive Repeat Podcast

The Drag-N-Drive Show Episode 8

We talk about my experience on Drag Illustrated's The Wes Buck Show!! It was really awesome to be called the DI Drag and Drive Insider by the guys that are leading the drive for drag racing. Wes' team is on fire right now and I was part of the 289th episode of the weekly Live Stream. 

Our first guests are bolts&nuts.com founder Andy Graham, with his friend Jimmy Muntain. They were on to discuss the upcoming drag-n-drive bolt and nut kit that'll be available soon. If you'd like to provide input into the contents of the kit, please message those guys on FB or IG.

Next up was Redhat Scotty! He attended the Racer Round-up in Kansas City about the new drag strip that is opening there, hopefully by the end of the year! It sounds like this is a go from the conversation from that night. The guy behind it all said this will be one of the nicest facilities in the country. More details to come. 

Derek Putnam, announcer of Sick Week 2023, tells a little history of his announcing career and we talk about the upcoming event. 

Once Derek's interview was done, we added Adam Dorey to the mix! Adam is "The Voice" of Rocky Mountain Race Week and Sick Week 2022. He is back for this year and is ready to go!!

After a few stories with the announcers, we brought everyone back on for stories from the road. Lots of carnage stories, what we think is going to happen to the drag and drive community and why we all love the people that compete in these events!

The Drag-N-Drive Show Ep 7 was wild!!

The hosts of Redwood Rally come on to talk about Selling Out before the event went public, the awesome roads and tracks the racers will visit, and what this means for the future of drag and drive on the west coast!

Scott Brown discusses Capone, his 8 second 53 Bel-Air, and tells stories about his previous drag and drive events, like swapping an engine in Tulsa during the 2014 Hot Rod Drag Week!

Devin Vanderhoof comes on to replace Matt Lamphier for this week's show. Devin talks about his prep for the 235 Rowdy Radial class for Sick Week and what it takes to go 4s on a tiny tire!

Everyone jumps back on and we talk about everything under the sun for almost 90 minutes! 

This is a great episode and packed with lots of great info!

Survive a Drag and Drive: Yardwork

Either get the yard mowed today or hire a neighbor kid right now. You don’t want to come back from the week and mow immediately.

Gear Vendors Overdrive

They are sponsoring the Live Stream on Summit Racing House of Hustle youtube channel. They sponsor Live Streams for most of the Drag and Drive events! Their Overdrive systems make these events possible! Like Jay Grabiak said “The Gear Vendor helps makes it a dream to drive on the big roads” about the 67 Nova he won at last years Midwest Drags!

Gear Vendors is a veteran owned company, with Rick serving from 72-75, that has a long history of innovation! All kinds of racing, drag and drive events, towing and motorhomes can all benefit from an Overdrive system.

Here’s an example: 3.50 rear gear, 27” tall tire, 70 mph is 3000 RPM with a TH350/TH400, C4/C6, 727/904. BUT with the 22% Overdrive, 70 mph would be 2400 RPM! OR, 90 mph is 3000 RPM, we got places to be and places to see!! All at the flip of a switch!

Find more at gearvendors.com

List of Midwest Drags racers running a GV system – William Spangler, Aaron Slayden (TacoTime Fairmont), Zach Havlik, Paul Castiglione, Clark Rosenstengel, Brian Havlik, Jay Grabiak, Rodney Rodriguez, Ted Woodman, Jay Michael, Carl Bright, Jerry Sweet, Chris Vanwerden, Jeff Lingenfelter and William Fowler plus many more I’m sure.

Carolina Drag Cruise Day Two Updates from the event host, Michael Lone!

Drag-N-Drive Addiction is dedicated to the Drag and Drive lifestyle culture! We will visit with participants of events like Hot Rod Drag Week, Rocky Mountain Race Week 1.0 and 2.0, Sick Week, and many of the other events that are beginning to happen!  If you are new to Drag and Drive events, think of it like Two Lane Blacktop (you know, the old movie with the horrible ending). The participants of these events will drive their car from track to track, on public roads/highways, allowed only to use the parts/tools they bring with them in the car or in a trailer towed by the racecar. You must be self sufficient to compete in this type of endurance drag racing! There are no trucks with trailers that are following you to pick you up when you break.
