Buckle up as we chat with Kevin Hall from the Texas Nostalgia Modified Production, where the roar of engines from Volkswagen's to Camaros and Corvettes pushes the adrenaline through the roof! We uncover the unique rules behind this championship, including the exciting four-tenths pro tree start which solidifies this as a driver's show, not simply a car show. Kevin also takes us back to the original roots of drag racing, reviving the nostalgia of standard shift cars. We get an inside look at how these guys maintain the authenticity of their cars while pulling off some impressive wheelies that keep fans on the edge of their seats. If the sound of a high-pitched small block and the art of shifting a 4-speed manual transmission gets your heart racing, then you're in the right place.As we approach the end of our journey, we take a pit stop to update you on the upcoming races and the championship in Texas. Get the scoop on what the champion earns, the coveted gold card, and the battle for racing glory. We wrap up with some enlightening automotive history and news updates, including a malfunction at Toyota Motor Company, a recall from Kia, and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat's high theft rate. So grab your helmet, strap in, and join us for this wild ride through the world of racing!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.
