Tons of great discussion on this episode: Chris Delgado’s success at MIR with “White Rice” – a 6-second all steel car with a 180cid little engine.
Also we discuss our thoughts on knock sensors and using knock detection for different tuning applications, stemming from our disagreement with the HP Academy guys.
Then we complain about Askholes. What is an Askhole? listen to find out!

Drag Week Wrap Up!
We unwind and chat with Robert River about what it took him to get his NHRA Pro Stock License. Then we chat with Vinnie Barbone and Rich Guido of Drag Week fame, both top finishers. Vinnie talks about electrical fires and Rich talks about clutch abuse.
Then we get a surprise call from the builder/driver of the world’s quickest/fastest Stock Bottom End LS car!! Jonathan Capizzi!!! It’s very enlightening to hear about his program and the things he focuses on (and the things he skips!). Definitely listen to this if you want to know how to go fast without blowing up your junk.
Finally we discuss a little about the Big Bang engine that our own John Bewley was involved in testing. Very cool stuff.
All the usual panelists too: Ry Klemp, Doug and Andy Cook, Mark Dalquist, Tom Sewell, John Bewley, and others!

It’s the Middle of Hot Rod Magazine’s Drag Week and we are close with a number of racers, so we decided to interview some of them to find out what makes their programs work. We talk with Vinny Barbone in the Unlimited Class Geo Tracker, and James “Doc” McEntire who yesterday became the first to pilot a naturally aspirated car to a 7-second quarter mile pass in Drag Week history with a 7.99 at Gateway. Doc takes us through the challenges, highs and lows over the years, and his current engine combination designed and built by Todd Goodwin – who then also joins the discussion!!
