100 - Power and Speed - Travis Ray Drag Week competitor

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio.


None of us even noticed, but show number 100.  Crazy stuff.
 Thanks to the fans for sticking with us.  We may tool
on them from time to time, but we really do appreciate all the
listeners.  


Project SubiTard is getting close.  Tad has his new engine
ready to go from IAG.  The parts, car, and everything is
finally set.  He has a few items to get to this finished up,
but he will be on the road soon.  It will still look like
crap, but it will be a pretty stout street car.


Drag Week has taken over our thoughts and daily conversations.
 Trust us, we are not trying to wear this subject out, but
there is so much here to talk about.  The best thing about
this whole event is the people.  We have had on and met some
great car guys from all over the country and this week is no
exception.


Travis Ray joins the show to talk about his Drag Week
experiences.  This particular guest worked out to be not
only a cool story, but educational for Mike and Tom.  Travis
is a Corvette C5 owner, and can recount the numerous pitfalls of
the Corvette platform.  Travis has competed in the Drag Week
event since 2013 and had not had good luck until 2016.
 Everything from stub axels to electrical problems kept him
from finishing, but 2016 ended all of that.  Travis finished
the week and averaged a 9.29 with a true to life street drivable
C5 Corvette.  It was a pleasure to drive, and needed
nothing but tire changes to complete the week.  Listen to
this one, it's a good story of the road taken to
complete Drag Week from another great car guy.
