Our guest on Wednesday's Night comes to us from Massachusetts and has become quite the regular on Wheelz-Up Radio over the past few years. Allison Smyth is the Design & Product Development Manager at Port-A-Tree Products. Allison will take some time out of her busy schedule to talk about weather stations. As we all know weather can really effect a cars performance because cold weather will make a car go fast, whereas hot weather will slow you down. Also, some tracks have what they call the sea level factor, all in which may hinder a cars performance at select tracks. Allison will try to make it all make sense for the common fan with the help from Mike, Bob & Lew.

Wheelz-Up Radio presented by Sassy Race Engines returns on Wednesday Night at 7:30pm.

On this week's show the gang will talk with Division 1 Super Gas Champion Jon Pellicane about what it took for him to win his first Division Championship and his plans for the 2016 season with that Gold Card. The Gang will also re-cap a very wet & rainy NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fl that definitely had some hot topics that will be hit upon by Chris, Mike & Rob. 

Wednesday's Nights guest comes to us from upstate New York. Jon Pellicane had a story book year in 2015 with 3 victories that put him on the map as a contender in the ever so tough 9.90 class. The odd part about his victories were that 2 of those 3 victories that he claimed for the Championship were in Division 3 and not in Division 1. Pellicane, claimed victories in Norwalk & Bowling Green and added his lone victory for Division 1 at Maple Grove Raceway. When Jon is not running his Super Gas Corvette he spends a lot of time underground (Yes, underground) as a Salt Mine Operator for one of his main sponsors - American Rock Salt. Jon will talk about his early beginnings in racing and how he's preparing for one of his daughters to get ready to go Junior Dragster Racing.

We're feeling a little green this week as St. Paddy's day is upon us on Wheelz Up Radio and that only means one thing, The Kick-off of the first East Coast National Event of the season in Florida. This week we welcome special guest host Kelli Barbato, Mike Carr and the "Wagon Boyz" as they talk the latest news and notes from the world of drag racing. On this week's show presented by SASSY RACING ENGINES the gang will talk to Vermont Runner Garner Stone about 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang that runs in the Factory Stock Showdown in NHRA Competition and Factory Super Car Class NMCA. The Gang will also re-cap the Division 2 opener at Gainesville Raceway, the NMCA Race at Bradenton Motorsports Park and look forward to the East Coast Kick-Off of National Events and the Amalie Oil Gatornationals this upcoming weekend.

Wednesday's Nights guest comes to us from the great state of Vermont. Gardner Stone is a successful business man with his own car dealership and commercial rental business to date. When he has the time Gardner likes to mix it up with his 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang in NHRA & NMCA Competition running in the ever popular Factory Stock Showdown and Factory Super Car Classes. If the name sounds familiar to those in other forms of motorsport’s it's because Gardner was one of the most successful tractor pullers on the East Coast with his "General" turbine engine tractor on the NTPA tour. We will talk with Gardner on Wednesday Night about how he made out at the NMCA event and how he is preparing for the Gatornationals this upcoming weekend.
