🔥 THE STORIES THAT BUILT OUR HOT ROD CULTURE — AND ONE THAT MIGHT GET AL IN TROUBLE! 🔥

What was the local hot rod scene really like back in the 1950s? Where was the dragstrip before the Dodge County Fairgrounds became what we know today? And what kind of trouble is Al stirring up this week? 😆

Tonight on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast, we’re digging into some great stories with a guy who lived it!

🏁 Dick Trapp – Part 1: Dick has been part of the local hot rod scene since the 1950s! From his ’35 Ford to the old dragstrip and the clubs he was involved with, Dick takes us back to a time when hot rodding was building its own history. Trust us, you’ll want to hear these stories!

🎙️ Capt. Bob Returns: We catch up with Capt. Bob, formerly of Wisconsin Hot Rod Radio, as he shares details about an upcoming February event you’ll want on your calendar.

📚 Kyle’s History Lesson: Another trip into automotive history.

📅 The Buzz with Beth: Find out what’s happening this weekend and what events you need to know about.

😂 The Shit That Al Says: Let's just say Al might be generating a little hate mail with this one!

🔥 HERE'S YOUR CHALLENGE: Don't just scroll past — give this episode a listen!

👉 Listen tonight wherever you get your podcasts, then drop us a comment: What’s the oldest hot rod story you remember, or who’s the local car guy with a story we need to hear next?

Tonight on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast, we've got restoration advice, classic cars, upcoming events, some interesting history, and—as usual—a few conversations that go completely off the rails!

First up, we talk with Bob Bennett from Bennett Coachworks about a listener question on the pros and cons of using “paint over rust” products. Knowing Bob owns a world-renowned restoration shop, his answer might surprise you!

Next, we head to Jefferson High School in Jefferson, Wisconsin, to talk with EJ Pilarski, the school's auto teacher. EJ tells us about the old-school rides that are part of the automotive curriculum and how students are getting hands-on experience with some cool iron.

Then Danny Vrana joins us to talk about the Barton Power Tour coming up October 24!

Kyle brings us some cool automotive history facts, but when Tom brings up how hot Lita Ford was back in the day, the history lesson goes off the rails. You know how that usually works!

Hot Rod Beth gets us caught up on the latest car shows and upcoming events, making sure you know where to find the fun. And this week's edition of “The Shit That Al Says” includes a shark attack. Yep, you read that right. You'll just have to listen to find out!

From restoration tips and high school hot rods to rock-and-roll memories and shark attacks, this episode has a little bit of everything.

🎙️ Another not-to-be-missed episode of the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast!

What a great night on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast!

We talked a little about the shows we went to this past weekend, then jumped right into it with Ken Madden, a really cool dude we met at Iola. Ken is the owner of MaddK Studios, and he was a great guest with some awesome stories to tell.

Looking for someone to draw or paint a portrait of your car? Call Ken—he’s the guy!

Then we checked in with Wolfman Troy, coming to us from his lair deep in the Kettle Moraine Forest.

History with Mr. G was once again a blast, and Beth filled us in on the events she’ll be attending this weekend.

And, once again, you probably want the kids to leave the room before you listen to the shit that Al says. 😂

Another great night of cars, stories, laughs, and a little bit of chaos on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast!

P.S. Sorry if you’re from the East Coast. 😂 It was all in fun!

Tonight was another great night on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast!

We started with a salute to veterans and talked about the “Art Car” from Iola, including how John Barnhart came to be the one who ended up with it. John really represents what makes the car community so special, especially when it comes to supporting and giving back to veterans.

Then we had our very first “Ask Bob” segment, where Bob Bennett answered a couple of your questions. If you’re not careful, you just might actually learn something!

Kyle had another great and informative history segment, Beth told us about a few upcoming shows, and then there was “The Shit That Al Says.”

Have the kids leave the room for that one. It was… well, borderline offensive. 😂

This is why you listen to the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast. It’s not just cars and car shows. It’s the stories behind the cars, the people who make the car community what it is, some history you probably didn’t know, and a bunch of laughs along the way. You never really know what you’re going to hear when we pull up a chair.

So if you like cars, the people behind them, and a podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously, give this one a listen. You might laugh, you might learn something, and you might even hear something you probably shouldn’t repeat.

We caught up with Bruce Wendorf from Bruce’s Classic Restorations, and he told us all about the 1960 Thunderbird build he just finished — and then gave us a sneak peek at what he’s working on next!

Then we got into the things nobody tells you about owning a classic car. 😂

Yeah… they drive like shit.
But we love them anyway.

And if we don't like the way they drive, we make them better! That's kind of the whole idea behind hot rodding — take something you love and make it even better.

History with Kyle was informational and thought-provoking.

Okay… no it wasn't. 😂 It was the same fun bullshit you've come to expect from us!

Hot Rod Beth gets us caught up on the weekend events, including the Jefferson Swap Meet, put on by Madison Classics, happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And Sunday, we hope to see a bunch of you in Green Lake for their annual car show!

So grab a chair, crack a beer, and hang out with us for another episode of the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast!

Tonight on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast, we officially wrapped up the Hot Rod Tuesday car show season — and WHAT A WAY TO GO OUT! 322 cars showed up for the final show of the year, and by the end of the night, we were so tired we were just about delirious! 😂

We recapped our experiences at the Colin Lukas Memorial Car Show, shared some of the highlights, and tried to keep our brains functioning long enough to finish the show.

Then we talked with Jonathan Johansen about the Scott Kernick Memorial Car Show in Gordon, Nebraska.

After that, Kyle brought us his history lessons, while all the excitement continued in the background with Beth apparently doing self-checkout at Piggly Wiggly! 🛒😂

Beth also filled us in on her upcoming events with The Buzz with Beth, and naturally, The Shit That Al Says made its appearance — complete with a little Buzz of its own!

It was a long night, a crazy night, and one hell of a way to finish the Hot Rod Tuesday car show season.

322 cars. One exhausted crew. And plenty of Hot Rod Tuesday nonsense.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made this year's shows so much fun! 🏁🔥

Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast – Live from the 40th Annual Newburg Lions Car Show! This week on the Hot Rod Tuesday Podcast, we took the show on the road and headed to Newburg, Wisconsin, for the 40th Annual Newburg Lions Car Show!

We kicked things off with show spokesman Mike Piontek, who gave us the rundown on the day's activities and what makes this event such a great part of the Wisconsin car show scene.

Then we caught up with Jenny Gehl from the North Prairie Harvest Fest Car Show to hear what's coming up at their event.

Next, we checked in with Wolfman Troy, who filled us in on his two upcoming events and what everyone can look forward to.

Of course, Kyle brought along some more of his great hot rod history lessons, giving us another look back at the people, cars and stories that helped shape the hobby.

And you know we couldn't do a show without “The Shit That Al Says!” — and once again, Al did not disappoint!

We wrapped things up by running down some upcoming car shows and events you won't want to miss.

It was a great night of cars, car shows, history, and plenty of Hot Rod Tuesday fun — straight from Newburg, Wisconsin!
