Ever wonder what makes the world of Texas drag racing tick, especially the nostalgia Modified Production class? Strap in as we drift into this high-octane universe with our guests extraordinaire, the Rollo brothers, Gary and Larry. These speed aficionados guide us through the unique requirements of this class, where only cars 30 years and older are allowed to compete, and manual shifting without electronic assistance is the rule of the day. We discuss everything from the wide range of vehicles involved - think early Camaros, Corvettes, Volkswagens, and Fords - to the types of transmissions permitted. And the cherry on top? The Rollo brothers' passionate plea to save the stick shift!
In our feature segment, we review the 2024 Kia Seltos SX. This all-wheel drive beast offers five trim levels, LED lighting, acoustic glass windshields, power side mirrors, and much more. And that's just the exterior. Inside, expect Syntex seating surfaces, heated front seats, a 10.25 inch driver supervision cluster, and a massive center stack info screen. There is also the 8-speaker Bose audio system, dual-level cargo floor, multiple USB ports, and a wireless charger. And under the hood? A 1.6 liter turbo engine with 195 horsepower, delivering an economically appealing EPA rating of 25/26/27 for city/highway/combined.
So whether you're a drag racing enthusiast or a Kia fan, this episode has almost something for everyone.
