This podcast is fantastic! Brian does an awesome job of leading the conversations, and he's also a wealth of knowledge about all things automotive! John and David are well suited for the rolls of cohosts, considering their own backgrounds. Some of the stories of where these legends began are quite humbling, rather funny, and honestly just a joy to listen to. I can't wait for more!!!
I was a subscriber to Hot Rod magazine in my teens. Resubscribed a couple years ago. I absolutely love this podcast! I hope they keep this podcast and the magazine gong for another 75 years. :-)
Excellent interview and content.
I am loving this content folks please keep it up so refreshing listening to car people talk about the industry and the hobby and where it’s going and been. I’m pretty young I’m sure compared to lots of people so the history content in racing and building is awesome! Keep it up!
This is an awesome podcast! I was hooked right from listening to the first episode. The newest episode with Tom Nelson - NRE was great! Keep up the good work.
