Season 5
299. Murray Pfaff and the Fifth Sense of Design
Designer Murray Pfaff is renowned for his creative and wild projects, weird stuff you can trip out on that makes your jaw drop. Murray makes his third appearance on the podcast fresh off a pair of amazing back-to-back events: the 1,000-mile Hot Rod Power Tour – which saw him field both an Explorer ST with Petty’s Garage and a Meyers Manx SR kit car – followed a mere two days later by EyesOn Design, where unlike any other show in the country, one of the judging teams is legally blind, reviewing the cars purely by touch with white gloves on. It’s a fun and fascinating conversation you won’t want to miss.
298. It’s SEMA Time!
Much like the host city of Las Vegas, the annual automotive aftermarket celebration known as the SEMA Show continues to get bigger and better every year, and this year promises to be no exception. From its first-ever live stream of all 31 hours of the show, to music acts and industry events, SEMA is THE place to be the first week of November. “This is where the future of automotive is being dictated,” Tom Gattuso, VP, Events, SEMA, tells the guys, themselves veterans of more SEMA Shows than they can count. “As a car guy, it is heaven,” Willie exclaims. “For four or five days, it is like nothing else!” Listen in and get the scoop on all that’s in store for this year’s event.
297. Metal Craft Conversations – Part 2
Bryan Fuller and Mark Prosser are back on the podcast discussing the science and art of welding and fabrication. Mark muses, “At the end of the day, every weld is the same thing, you’re welding two pieces of metal together man”, the difference is “it’s all in the prep”. From Inconel welding to an advanced metal shaping project in the works for 2025, today we’re talking metallurgy. Listen in and learn, with this continued conversation with two legends of the industry.
296. Dr. Jamie Meyer Talks HPX
For the first time since the 1960s, there’s a new automotive aftermarket industry trade show on the horizon. Under the auspices of the North Carolina Motorsports Association in consultation with former PRI President Dr. Jamie Meyer, preparations are deep underway for the High Performance Expo’s June 2025 debut in Charlotte. “There’s still spots or pockets in the industry where there’s opportunities for growth, and there’s opportunities to bring people together,” Jamie tells the guys, as they discuss the framework and aspirations for HPX in anticipation of next summer’s inaugural event.
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!
