295. Track Tribulations
Terry Fair of Vorshlag Motorsports returns to the podcast with an update on some of his current builds – most notably his “Trigger” Mustang – as well as the pros and cons that come with reengineering vehicles to racing levels. As a leading manufacturer and fabricator of high-end suspension and track components for track-oriented cars, “This man has got enough seat time in every racing aspect in every arena to probably give you some solid advice,” notes Willie. So, grab a pencil and get ready for some knowledge!
294. A Diesel Powerhouse Takes On Gassers
Diesel technology is having a moment, and Clint Cannon knows it. As President of ATS Diesel Performance, he can attest firsthand to why now is not the time for anyone in the industry to be resting on its laurels. ATS has been at the forefront of cutting-edge transmission and engine upgrades for diesel trucks for over 30 years. And with its new VNT Turbo and recently unveiled long-in-development offering for the (gasp!) gas engine market, Clint fully intends to remain so. About the latter he tells the guys, “It was kind of odd how this whole thing came together.” Listen and learn just how odd, indeed!
293. Kevin’s Fastback Revisited
For some time now, Kevin’s been steadily transforming a ’69 Fastback Mustang from a former track car into a mean street-and-pro-touring beast. “The big question,” Willie asks, “is how do you get something that old to perform like something that’s new?” In this episode, Kevin provides an update on the current status of the project, including what parts, pieces, modifications, and new performance components he’s added to bring his modern vision for this classic closer to fruition.
