Mike, Tom, Crunch, and Tad in studio today.

Crunch has some info from the Grudge racing for cash scene.  Mike and Tom wanted to go to Krazy Horses event at island this past weekend, but Mike was "busy" and Tom took a flight....

Tom flew to Oklahoma to be part of a Street Outlaws taping.  We get as much inside information as we can on the workings of the show, but Tom is bound by nondisclosure forms.  It's no secret that the guys really got digs in on Street Outlaws in previous podcasts, even more specifically Mike.  Things we see on the show are clarified, testing before racing is explained, and how far off this particular show is from airing.  If you had questions about how this all worked, here is the place to hear about the inner workings.

Live recording next week Monday at 7:00PM EST.  You can listen live on www.mixlr.com and if you are, feel free to call in with questions or comments.  908 751 0211  Live callers are always nice.

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio today.  Crunch is visiting family, and will return next week.

Tom's 69 Camaro will be involved in a photo shoot in the near future for Manley Performance.  The car has not run in a long time, and this leads into a discussion about motor storage, and if Tom's motor is even ok.  Valvespring back off myths and condensation are discussed.

Mike skates on a 127 in a 50 ticket by a VERY understanding state trooper in NJ.  Very nice to see a cop who understands sometimes you just have to run it through the gears. Although a very strict warning about doing it again is issued.

The owner of HeadGames Motorworks, Dave Localio calls in today.  Headgames does work over a broad range of cylinder heads, and there is no doubt Headgames is the real deal.  Headgames is involved with some very potent 2JZ stuff, and it is revealed that he has a Supra headed to face off with Street Outlaws.  Tom has decided to go and tag along, and this should make for some very interesting follow up when they can actually talk about it.

The guys will be back live on www.mixlr.com on a regular Monday night schedule after this holiday week.  7:00PM or so start time, and call in number is as always 908 751 0211

Mike, Tom, Crunch, and Tad in studio today.

Street Outlaws, maybe going a better direction as of late.  Everyone agrees the views of the races, the locations they race, and the overall safety of what they do is questionable, but the cars are really some serious stuff.  The guys still dislike it overall, but if you like cars it beats a sharp stick in the eye.

Movies cars:  Strange subject, but some good movies from the past are discussed.  This is something every car guy loves and hates. Very rarely does Hollywood get the car side right.  You would think they have a large enough budget to actually TALK to a car guy to get the details right.  Hey Hollywood, instead of worrying about fast and furious sound effects, get your stuff right.  Nugget of Mikes psychosis - Mike hates trains

Listeners are always encourage to participate, and a few actually have.  The subject of turbo or supercharger are brought up.  Everyone has opinions on this, and it's discussed from a preference perspective. 

Larry Morgan loses his S**T on ESPN about the NHRA.  They play the audio, and you really need to hear this.  Larry Morgan is no joke, and calls it like he sees it.  Gotta love it!

Next week show time is unclear because of the 4th of July, but the guys will be live at some point on Mixlr.com.  Call in 908 751 0211 like and visit us on Facebook and iTunes.

Mike, Tom, Crunch and Tad in studio.  Phones apparently were not working last week, but they are fixed for this week.

GM has given Mike the news his Corvette is going to be fixed.  The repair of the warranty is authorized, but you can tell at some point this is going to put Mike over the edge.

Tad is still trying to sign on to Yellow Bullet to get a self learning injection guy to call in, but it seems he has issues with getting signed up.  Now this could very well be Tad and not Yellow Bullets fault. 

Mini-Van Tom brings up the Charlie Buck racing engines break-in and robbery.  Reports have it as high 1.3 million in engines and related parts stolen.  That is a substantial loss, and we all hope they really find the people behind it.  

Crunch did a little car shopping this weekend.  Looked at a ZL1 that is now over 70K.  He's 100% right, for 70K.. why not buy a Corvette?

Live next week at 7:00PM EST on Mixlr.com.  Call in number 908 751 0211 live callers second half of the show.

Mike, Tom, Crunch and Tad in studio for a sad podcast.

We all have people we have lost, and it's never easy.  Mr John Cornell, a dear friend of Mike and his family passed away suddenly at a local race track doing what he loved, watching his son race.  It's always a hard loss when it's one of the good guys, and it Mr Cornell was one of the best. 

He will be missed, and we all wish his family the best at this very difficult time.

God Speed "Big Rooster" 

Mike, Tom, Crunch and Thaddeus in studio tonight.

Car guys are always car guys, doing their thing.  The guys like them all, but it does not mean they do not have opinions on certain types of "racing".  Formula Drift got on Mike's radar this weekend, and he's not impressed.  In 99% of racing spinning the tire is not a good thing, but they do pack a crowd.  Prepare for some hate mail on this one.

Tom attended the Subaru car show, without his Subaru.  The guys were hoping he drove his multi-cool soccer mom mini van, but no such luck.  Some of the questions he was asked at the show are discussed.  We are for sure at the age of misinformation.

Thaddeus poked into the self learning injection mentioned the other week.  Mike is not thinking it's there yet, and the guys think it can be done.  If anyone has one, they would like to hear about it.

Crunch took a thorough beating on yellowbullet.com, and really does not care.  He said all those same guys have been messing with him for a long time, and it just does not matter to him.  Sorry to disappoint his "fan base".  He does bring up a set of questions about what defines a backhalf VS a tube chassis car.  This was leading somewhere, and I  could be wrong but I think he was calling out DSR!

Live again Monday night at around 7:30 PM EST on mixlr.com.  Call in and be part of the show.  908 751 0211 

Mike, Crunch, Tom in studio.  Tad is here, but in the penalty box for not doing his homework.

Mike has been trying to get the guys to watch "Winning: The racing life of Paul Newman" from Adam Carrola for some time now.  So far Tom is the only one who actually watched it.  Tad has been relegated to the "green room" with popcorn and TV.  He will return after he finishes his assignment.  It's a great movie, and every car guy should watch it.  Much more to Paul Newman than you can imagine.

Crunch was scheduled to run a race for cash, and he cancelled for his own reasons.  He has taken quite a bit of heat on Smallblockposse.com, but he is not afraid to tell his side on mic.  He lost a deposit, but won another bet.

Mike again has corvette issues.  On the hook again and back to the dealer.  He's not happy and explains the motor failure along with the failure of the clutch system.

Toys:  Everyone had them, and every car guy had something that they remember that at the time life was never better.  The passion that car guys have all things mechanical starts at an early age.

A few callers, Crunch get to talk to his opponent after the deposit forfeit.  A caller checks in from Michigan, Fireman Jeff calls in, and Crunch's racing partner Hassan gives the fairest man in drag racing his props.

Live again Monday night at around 7:30 PM EST on mixlr.com.  Call in and be part of the show.  908 751 0211 

Mike, Crunch, Tom and Tad in studio tonight.

Happy Memorial day.  Not enough can be said about our Veterans.  Does not matter if it is Memorial day or not, be nice to a Veteran.  They are the only reason you are free to live your life like you do.  From all of us, a heartfelt thank you!

Mike has issues with weight and circle track racing is slowly sucking him in.  He will slowly implode, just watch and see.  Mike saw a beautiful 62 Chevy Nova and after talking to the guy a few minutes they talk about the single turbo that is under the hood and who built it.

Tad has food issues, and as sure as Mike is going to implode Tad is going to explode. Tad brought up the subject of self learning EFI.  A tuners worst nightmare is becoming a reality.  I am sure the guys will research this and have more on it next week.

Crunch caught some racing this weekend, and he alerts us our guests from a few weeks back "Gordo" and "Krazy Horse" both had races.  Some good, some bad, some a little controversial.

Tom basically did nothing all weekend, and STILL did not watch "Winning, the racing life of Paul Newman".  Even though he didn't you should.  Great movie, amazing story.  Tom is still sporting the multi cool minivan, and the Subaru has a return date set.  (Mike is gonna wup ya Tom)

Mike, Tom, Crunch and Tad in studio today with guest Ryan Krachun.

Tom recounts he latest trip, and he tells us he spent some time at a "cup" shop.  Not much to be gained there, it's not like they put signs on stuff that says "cool top secret stuff here".  He also stopped in to see master engine builder Gene Fulton.

Ryan Krachun is in studio this week.  Ryan, now 16, has been racing forms of circle track since he was 7 years old.  He is the youngest person to ever be given the permission to race in "modified" circle track racing by the state police (yes NJ Sucks).  After only two starts in DIRT small block modified racing, he scored his first win.  The guys get to know Ryan, and at the end of the interview, the fabled "John John" calls in to give his fellow competitor props on a job well done.

Be back next week at 8:00PM EST Monday night.  Live on Mixlr.com, and call ins welcome.  908 751 0211.

Mike, Tom, Crunch and Tad are in studio.

Tom is leaving again, Tad is still trying to figure out how to put headphones on, Crunch's word list is out, and Mike has issue with salt?   

There is an Alan swingset update, and it looks as if it is almost complete, but that does come with news of his departure.  Tad will be in for Alan for the foreseeable future.

The very first question from a listener is addressed.  Tires and a little bit of what guys are using now.  Radial vs Bias and  tire brands are discussed.  Clearly they are not tire experts, but try to give a least an overview of what they know.

Back next week on mixlr 8:00 PM EST on Monday night, and as always live call in number 908 751 0211.
