From his early days of street racing inspired by his father's legacy to clinching back-to-back Competition Eliminator titles, Coleman's stories are as gripping as his races. We don't just relive the adrenaline rush; we explore the evolution of his race cars and the pivotal switch to high-RPM engines that supercharged his track success. It's not every day you get a legend to reveal the nuts and bolts of their victories, and Coleman doesn't hold back.But our trip doesn't end at the finish line. We switch lanes to cruise through a wealth of automotive history and the latest industry news. Imagine the roar of the Dodge Charger Daytona as it smashed records in '69, or the elegance of the Lincoln Continental Mark III defying critics with its introduction. We'll also tip our hats to the short-lived Saturn Sky and share a few personal anecdotes that car enthusiasts will cherish. As we cover the events that keep our car culture thriving, you'll find yourself booking your weekends with the hottest car shows and auctions. Join us for this gear-shifting episode that's fueled by passion and driven by nostalgia.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.
