Street Rod & Custom Radio

If you think your ride is in need of a tune-up, it's probably best if you go to a place that has 30 years of experience in the business. Tim Choate, Director of Operations at Smokey's Dyno and Performance (@smokeysdyno), gives us a run-down on what you can expect during the tuning process at Smokey's.

Things get technical as we explore the optimal psi for a fuel injection system. Tim also describes a recent '64 Lincoln project, and what you should do if you're interested in getting some tune-up work done.

Who needs 800 horsepower, really? Apparently Dan does. Naturally, Ryan wants to know why - and what exactly Dan plans on doing with that kind of potential.

How much do you know about drag racing? You're about to receive an education in Akron, Ohio drag racing history from the man who knows the most, Randy Lipscomb.

Racing Segment 3: Father's Day Fun Segment 4: Reduce and Simplify Segment 5: The More You Know Segment 6: Good Old and Great New

Ryan gets Dan pumped for today's upcoming guests (Jason Buckles and Randy Lipscom), which (somehow) leads to the story of the time Dan crashed a truck into a fence, then chased a horse. No, we don't know why either.

Drag racing was born on the cements slabs of our country's airports. Eager to celebrate the pioneers of this legendary sport is Randy Lipscomb. Randy is passionate about the history of drag racing in Akron, Ohio, and is holding a special Father's Day event to spread the excitement.

Randy Lipscomb elaborates on the details of the Father's Day event being held by the Akron Ohio Race Legends Fund. For more information, check out their Facebook page: Akron Ohio Race Legends Fund.

Got some keys in your pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling? You can easily cut down the number of keys you carry by investing in BOLT locks (@BOLTlock), Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology. With BOLT, all you need to have is your car key.

Jason Buckles answers Dan's many questions about BOLT (@BOLTlock), including available colors and maintenance requirements. We also hear about Jason's SEMA experience.

What old timer doesn't like to bring up the "good ol' days?" Dan recollects a simpler time when there were three channels on TV, cars didn't have computers in them, and drag racing at airports was legal (sort of). Ryan quickly reminds him of the new Mustang Dan's been driving as of late, which leads to an impromptu review of the "Bo Derek of cars."

Half the fun of being a car lover is checking out someone else's ride. Minnesota is home to a fantastic car show that brings together 12,000 street rods; it's practically a buffet!

Wondering where you can find 12,000 of the country's greatest and oldest street rodders? Look no farther than the Minnesota Street Rod Association's Back to the Fifties weekend, an annual event that started back in 1974.

The technology that is constantly emerging in our lives is incredible. Soon to be released is the latest innovation in after-market car tech: Voyo (@Voyomotive), the world's most advanced connected car technology. Not only can it track where a vehicle has been, it can also unlock it via your phone, troubleshoot issues, and detect speeding. On top of everything, it's affordable. $100 for a base model, and only a small amount more for added features.

Voyomotive (@Voyomotive) CEO Peter Yorke talks with Dan about the scanning/diagnostics feature that comes with Voyo. Not only does it have access to the generic codes that most scanners do, it can read proprietary ones that would normally be out of your reach.

With all this talk about car technology, Dan thanks his lucky stars that none of it was available when he was young and reckless. He also recalls two police run-ins that, thank goodness, were more misunderstandings than anything else.
