Jeremy Porter/Atlanta Motorsports Park
"Don't build a racetrack", says Jeremy Porter, but that's just what he did. As a dirt biker and then a kart racer, Jeremy had the need for speed. And he had some big ideas about the race track experience- what he could do bigger and better. As the Creator and CEO of Atlanta Motorsports Park, he took his business savvy and love for racing and built a playground for fellow speed freaks of all ages.It's not just a track, it's a home away from home for like-minded souls. It was a crazy thing to dream up, let alone attempt for real. This is the story of how he made it happen.ATLANTA MOTORSPORT PARK:https://www.atlantamotorsportspark.comSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

The Mighty Merlin
Of all the internal combustion engines ever built, the Rolls-Royce Merlin, a 27-liter supercharged V-12 that powered fighters, bombers, boats and tanks, is arguably one of the most famous in history. Developed on the eve of World War II, the Merlin helped win the Battle of Britain and eventually the liberation of an enslaved Europe. It was manufactured on both sides of the Atlantic by two of the finest carmakers in the world. This is the story of how it was developed, and what it meant to the many (and the few).SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageMUSIC CREDITS:"Open Sea" by Frank Schroeterhttps://filmmusic.io/song/9447-open-sea-epichttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Chinese Blues" by George GershwinCC 1.0"Main Theme (The Grand Score)" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/4960-main-theme-the-grand-scorehttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Dragonsong" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/9301-dragonsonghttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Freedom" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/4881-freedomhttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"The Curtain Rises" by Kevin MacLeodhttps://filmmusic.io/song/5007-the-curtain-riseshttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Bachs Bouree" In Celtic Minor by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/5869-bachs-bouree-in-celtic-minorhttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Toward The Horizon" by Lilo Sound https://filmmusic.io/song/5538-towardthehorizon https://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Call to Adventure" by Kevin MacLeodhttps://filmmusic.io/song/3470-call-to-adventurehttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Garryowen" (Irish Traditional)Performed by the United States Army Band(Public Domain)Carry On Bach 3 (Bach Goes North) by Paul Arden-Taylor(Public Domain)"Hermann Goering March"(Public Domain)Roscoe Turner Interview, 1952 U.S. National Archives(Public Domain)Winston Churchill Radio Broadcast Speech to Parliament, June 18, 1940(Quotation Under Fair Use)Support the showHELP us grow the audience!

Racing's Darkest Day: LeMans, 1955
The "Golden Age of Auto Racing" began after World War II and lasted until the early Seventies. It's a period that is frequently romanticized. But that thin veneer was shattered on the afternoon of June 11, 1955, when a catastrophic collision caused the deaths of Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh and at least 83 spectators.
