Clint graces us with tales of his recent trip to the races in Medford, Oregon, and Texas, sparking discussions about power adders, stunning air-cooled cars, and classic Volkswagen models from the 70s. As we zoom past the finish line, the conversation drifts towards the various drag racing tracks around Texas, including the Lufkin track, which recently inked a deal with NHRA. We'll deconstruct the modified production class and the sheer thrill of watching Volkswagen racing. For those eager to throw caution to the wind and embrace the thrill of racing, Clint divulges details about the Texas vs the World event and how to get involved. Finally, we shift gears to journey through the popular feature 'This Week In Auto History', reliving iconic moments like the birth of the English Ford Model T and the legendary Ford Thunderbird. Not to forget an homage to Evil Knievel's record-breaking jump and the founding of DeLorean Motor Cars. We then steer the conversation towards recent car recalls, including issues with Toyota Highlanders, Tesla Model X, and Alpha Romeo Tonal. And don't miss our invitation to join us at the Gulf Coast Auto Shield Car Social in Houston, Texas, for a Saturday morning filled with more car-talk goodness.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
