Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Garage. Williebe's garage is now open. Well, it's snowing out there.
For some places it just well juststarted snowing. For others be snowing a
little bit longer. It's that wet, goushy, mushy snow too. Yeah,
awesome hydroplany weather. It's myself asMike Pettiford. Go for the number

(00:25):
four, go for its services dotcom and for your Saturday will be his
garage. How we doing, everybodyever? We're good? Yeah, how's
how's life? Mister Mike pedtiphor workdude, dude, I was energized this
morning. I'm in the golf a. I got the regular tires, Me
and Bruno Mars with uptown funk.We're killing at the town. Funk it

(00:46):
up, funk it up. Don'tbelieve just watched. Don't believe it did?
Watch? Oh good stuff and stuffall right. And when he says
golf are a lot of people,it's why because a lot of people don't
know what a golf don't know whata golfer is, but they a gt
I and it's not Yeah, yeahthey do, they do. It's faster,

(01:07):
Yeah, it's fast. They're uh, they're pretty quick, gotta good
a little turbo tune, some suspensionon it. I think that thing's like
four hundred, isn't it four hundredhorse power? Something? Crazy? Yeah,
we've we've been next to each otheron a stoplight and you were saying,
man, yeah, she's pretty fast. Yeah, good little car,
and it and it it rolls.Man, it's on a little thing still

(01:29):
for sale. I can't believe thatnobody has bought it yet. It's such
a good car. How many mileson it? Forty? Oh right,
so not many. But then milescame under the under the grace and presence
of Mike, some easy miles,little miles, one older, well maintained,

(01:53):
well maintained, good stuff. Thereis there something that's more of a
road a road road course type car, or a short light to light type
car, or could people take itout to the circle drags CNS clean up?
Dude, you could do any ofthose things this car. If you're

(02:14):
doing circle dragonshue, oh, circledragons, right, dude. I won
seven hundred and fifty bucks at circleDrags. I thought that was gonna be
my new profession. Yeah, Itook out there, that's funny. I
cleaned up my bent too. Backwhen before I made it, before I
went crazy and made that thing likethirteen hundred horsepower, when it was eight
I had eight hundred and eighty threehorsepower. Th we retire and I would

(02:37):
go out there and maba, ohyeah, and I only had I don't
know, four p fifty and Iwas still doing it. Yeah, yeah,
it was awesome. That's fun.There's a fast Teslas out there right
now, give you oh, dude, it's crazy. That was before Tesla's
Yeah, yeah, I would havegot kicked with a Tesla. I had

(02:57):
to raise the Tesla. Yeah,the dude, they get that. So
eight eighty three you know, butthey're what makes those cars so good.
People don't realize they have a supersuper low seat center gravity, so they're
able to do things on a roadcourse that the gas power cars just can't.

(03:19):
Well, well, normal gas powercars just can't. You have to
really put a lot of you know, imagine you got a lot of weight
hanging up higher. Every every centimeteryou can lower that weight, especially when
you have a battery, you know, car that's got all that weight super
super low. Well, it justinherently it just corners so much better because

(03:44):
you're not fighting all that body rolland everything involved with that, and you
know, the drive line suspension.And we talked to a company called Hypercraft.
Don't I'll go into it when weget back. So it's weird what's
going on right now in the world. Obviously, this big, huge,
mandated push to electric vehicles has caughtsome resistance and pushed back the hybrids.

(04:08):
You know, you can go back, you can go back a year ago
or further and hear me say andpreach like battery all electric probably is not
gonna be the saving grace. What'sgonna come into play is a combination of
hybrid. What will eventually happen forthe entire auto industry is this combination of

(04:28):
gas and electric power. It'd bea battery powered motor that gets the mass
moving, but when it's moving,you know, gas power is where it's
at. Now. Explain why andhow that combination is gonna kind of come
together here in just view, it'skind of interesting what's happening right now.
But spoke with a company this weekmaking unbelievable moves in the electric world,

(04:54):
and you know, so a lotof people will tell you and argue that
electrics not quite there for the racetrack. Yet, however, there's some companies
that are really just blowing it outof the water right now. There's this
company that's just setting records that Kingof Hammers. They set records at Pike
speak Hill Climb. For the longesttime, it's been maintaining battery power,

(05:16):
the thermal management involved with moving thatpower from the battery, you know,
through the motors, then back theprocess of charging it well as you can,
you know, sort of imagine they'rejust now playing in like you know,
imagine the car industry in the twentiesand thirties. You know, it's

(05:38):
kind of the battery industry now.It's very much in its infancy stage,
but already big, big moves andleaves to how all of that's maintained and
just the performance. There's a Kingof Hammer's going on right now. And
you know, this company of Hypercraftis just killing it because you know,
they can do stuff with battery powerthat you just can't do with gas.

(06:01):
So if you're just looking at onehundred percent performance, just like, let
me just put everything efficiency, allthat aside, one hundred percent performance.
You know, it's getting tougher andtougher to beat them and what they're able
to do because computers are so fastnowadays, so when you can, you
know, pull back, imagine anactive you know, traction control that could

(06:26):
put one hundred percent power or youknow a million times a second, you
know, literally a thousand times asecond. It can monitor the traction and
curve the torque or amount of appliedtorque to what wheel is slipping less or
more, and it could you know, the friction coefficient that it could play

(06:46):
with is just unimaginable for a humanto try to do that all while maintaining
traction. Are driving a car andall that stuff. Well nowadays there's all
these amazing sensors and things to dothat. Just on the performance spaces,
they're just it's it's unbelievable. Someof these electric cars. I'll get it
comp Hypercraft USA and go google someof the some of the race cars.
But I mean, it's just slayingeverything out there just due to technology.

(07:14):
Now. In the end again itwill be you know, it will be
a monitor thing. The humans today, I can tell well you could,
you could argue that, but nohuman can make a perfect lap time every
time, Like like King, I'mtalking like, for example, King of
Hammers. Right now, you can'tmanage a torque curve a human can't.
You could argue that all day,but in the end, you just can't

(07:38):
beat a computer and active yack control, active traction control, breaking controls.
A computer does not have. Feel. You can say that all day,
but it comes down to math.In the end, it just comes down
to math. Field is one thing. But you know, you could argue
that all day, but feel can't. Can't check your censors. And I

(08:03):
hate the fact that you laugh thatoff because if you look at every record,
you can say that, but inthe end, there's no way you're
gonna be able to outbreak ABS ina pure performance set up. You just
can't. It does. That's that'swhy, you know, that's why if

(08:24):
you were, if you were thatgood of a driver, bro, you
wouldn't be in my studio right now. You would have a lot more of
those records on your jacket. Andlook your jackets credit. I can take
that home and read it. Yougot a lot of you know, championship
here, championship there. But buthumans have their limits and in the end,
it's just math. But we gottatake a break hold it on hold
on uh nine oh five, andthat will be his garage there he is

(08:46):
laughing again, But doney, uh, it's one seven on KVP I Willy
B's garage. You're back in Willyb'sgarage too. These garage welcome do to
show you all with your snowy Saturday. Ooh man, we enjoyed some sixty

(09:07):
five sixty sixty three days and thenthe weekend shows up and we get this
garbage, this trash. You know, I'm texting my boy Kevin. So
we were talking about computer. Sothis company called Hypercraft, we talked to
you this week on her podcast.They're not King of Hammers right now,

(09:31):
doing just nuts those stuff. Theygot a bunch of different platforms, but
they do electric conversions. They gotan all wheel drive sixty seven Mustang Fastback,
so a thousand plus horsepower. Andyou got understand the difference in electric
and gas is weird because it's allabout power under the curve, meaning how

(09:54):
quickly. So if you take agas engine and and try to find its
peak power, you're probably gonna bein the torque numbers. You're probably gonna
be in the low, you know, sixteen hundred r pm eighteen hundred rpm
range somewhere in that ballpark. Wellfor torque for horse power, you're gonna
be up around the you know,forty five the fifty five hundred range,

(10:18):
depending on the you know, valvetrain, camshaft and so forth. But
there's across the point when when youhave an electric engine and the way that
they're set up, that that powerunder the curve or usable power, it's
it's instant. So it's from thevery first one thousandths of a second that

(10:41):
you push the gas pedal to youknow, to when you step out of
it. So all that power underthe curve makes you know, it's kind
of wild to say, but makesa four hundred horse power you know,
battery power car just clean up thousandhorsepower gas cars. So because they got

(11:03):
all that power right there and ittakes a while for the other power to
be to come to fruition, andalso the management of it around it is
is difficult. It's kind of wild. When you see like this company Hypercraft,
They're they're doing these conversions. Soimagine all wheel drive sixty seven Mustang

(11:26):
but with a super low CGS ander gravity battery power, so it's got
all four wheels driving but they havetraction control, they have you know,
just all this nutty power stuff associatedwith it. My man Kevin joins us
now Kevin Bird, I do theTV show Two Guys Garage with him.

(11:48):
Well, so, dude, welcometo show. What's up fellas? Oh
man, it's good. We justso. I was gonna get in the
scanners a few things today, butI was mentioning how this hypercraft company we
spoke to on the podcast, heis really doing some innovative things, and
how fast these electric cars are andthese computer saysted cars are. And my

(12:09):
man Mike Pettiford, who's uh,who's awesome. He runs a company here
go for his services where he youknow, changed people to drive faster.
He he loves to debate how slowcomputer and electronic existence is on cars because
he likes to think that that,you know, he's the greatest driver in
the world. He's you know,to his credit, he's an awesome driver.

(12:31):
But I keep telling him he's Hefought Terry on whether or not a
human uh is faster in a carversus a BS and I was like,
Mike, You're gonna lose this one. Uh. But he's you know,
he's he's run. So we gotwe stumbled on. I was telling about
Hypercat USA and what they're doing withsome of these cars, and it's that,

(12:52):
you know, for a pure performancebasis, for a pure I'm going
to the racetrack, I'm clicking offtimes. You know, you just can't
beat a battery powered electronic assistant vehiclenowadays, just because the power in the
curve, how they can apply it, how they can you know, you're

(13:13):
going through a turn, and yeah, you can have some feel and some
feedback. Right, all of that'scoming through drive by wire though. All
that's computer fed. But at thesame time that computer that's feeding you that
data is also has the capability ofchanging, measuring, monitoring, pulling torque
like it's running a thousand checks persecond, you know, and a human

(13:37):
just can't keep up with that.But a human can anticipate, he says.
But a human can anticipate. AndI'm like, it's all math when
you get down to it, it'sjust math. It's all physics. Well,
you know, there's controls for bulls, right, so you can do
pedal maps for ice engine, andyou can do pedal maps for eedes.
What's really incredible about the is thattorque curve. So even if you kind

(14:03):
of change the pedal map, youknow you may not have the torque curve
where you want it across the spacespeed and RPM range like you would with
an EV. So think about theinput power you have to then tailor those
controls to your foot right to thedriver. You just have a better ability.
You know, a human can adaptto anything. You know, whether
it's an ice age, will adapth And there's no yeah, there's no

(14:26):
arguing about how well we can adapt. But when you're given a better tool,
you're gonna end up with a betterresult no matter what that tool is.
Right, absolutely, And let melet me clarify. I'm not against
evs. I like evs the waythey accelerate, in the way they corner.
And I don't think I'm the bestdriver in the world. I just
think I will. No, youcan't wheel, but you would wheel faster

(14:52):
with ABS systems. You wheel faster, MED wheel faster with all these things
there to assist you. Let melet me just throw this out and then
I'll get feedback from both of you. Let's say that you had a driver
that could stay at the threshold ofthe limit of traction consistently from the beginning

(15:13):
of the stop to the end ofthe stop, as opposed to even the
best ABS system still pulsates. AmI correct? So far pulsates faster than
what the human can maintain that frictionefficient, But every time it reduces the
pressure below threshold, the stopping distanceincreases by the laws of physics. Can

(15:37):
I get an amen? No?Because if you take a skid pad and
do a stop, you ever donethe run it and do the stopping challenges.
So take a car that does nothave ABS and take a car that
does have a great ABS on it. What do you think you could?
You think you would really be fasterin a car that had no ABA compared

(16:00):
to a car that did, especiallyfrom twenty to zero? Absolutely, who
goes twenty No? No, ButI'm saying that principle. I'm saying that
principal works. No, and yougot you guys are gonna say no if
you if you go below the thresholdas opposed to staying. Look at look

(16:21):
at the filters you're putting on it. Now you gotta be going twenty under.
You got this, you gotta havethis. It can breakstop challenge or
the breakstop. It can be anyspeed. If you have a driver that
can do that, and phis,then who can do that every time pick
pick Lewis Hamilton pick max stop chancesthey only they only do it because they're

(16:44):
regulated. That's the rules. Wellthey have to in Formula one, of
course, but but look at thelook at the history. They were going
faster with a B S F onedrivers go faster with a B S systems
on the car. It's you cango google it. When they allowed it.
A couple they went faster. Sothe fastest drivers, the best drivers
in the world, go faster withabs. Agree it's right there, I

(17:08):
guess yeah. And the one thingyou know, we we tend to overlook
is we think four tires are alldoing the same amount of work. But
depending on the weight transfer on anyone tire, whether it's accelerating, breaking,
cornering, you know, where isthe you know, where's the weight
heaving on any given tires or liftingoff tires, they're all doing a different

(17:29):
amount of work every second to thattrack. And that's right, and that's
where a good this is a reallyhigh tech system that can start to get
into four wheel it's watching all fourwheels and seeing when am I losing grip
and when is it best to releasesome of that brake pressure and maintain my
rolling friction versus my sliding friction andthose kinds of things. And I will

(17:52):
stipulate that even the best driver withone pedal can't individually manage all four tires.
Well. Obviously, that's why someof these systems, Like when we
talked to this Hypercraft USA, itwas amazing to hear things that they're tackling
at like King of the Hammers ofcourse that I know has a million drivers,

(18:15):
Like it's off field, man,it's off field. I hit it
this way and I feel what it'sdoing. But but these guys are managing
the torque curve right and the slipon the wheels, and they're killing the
times out there. There's murdering it, you know. And and that's just
that was just tip of the icebergand some of the things they were doing
right. Yeah, And this iscoming from I'm sure all of us that
have reluctantly accepted these facts over time, because we all want to be the

(18:40):
man. We all want to drivejust pure you know, slamming gears and
you know, feeling that back endcome out. But you know we've been
proven over and over again. Howyou know how sophisticated a high speed computer
and the right sensors and control canuh, let's say, enhance our ability.
Absolutely sure, dude. Hey,some of those billy control systems have

(19:03):
made a crappy driver seem pretty goodout of high planes. I'll be honest.
We all know them, the mainheroes out there. You know,
if you take all that away,it's a different scenario, which is where
you know we're what Mike teaches isso critical. I will say, though,
it's amazing when you think about purelya performance aspect, what these battery

(19:29):
powered setups and applications are doing.Man, I mean, and this is
what's crazy, Kevin. You knowthis, we're just at the infancy stage
of what they're gonna be hitting uswith. Imagine what we're gonna be talking
about three years from now. Yeah, I'll give you a good example,
right my older thirteen Mustang, youknow, in the snow, trying to
pull out in the snow into oncomingtraffic where you gotta you know, go

(19:53):
out. If I have track control, it goes slow, but it'll pull
right out nice and smooth. IfI turn it off, it doesn't matter
how much I try to clutch,you know, it's just trying to clutch
in and out spinning tires or goingtoo slow, like I can do it
faster in the snow every single time, leaving the trash control model, you
know, and even kind of justhaving fun drifting through a big intersection in

(20:17):
the snow, you know, justkind of pushing a little power in and
let backing, paying that perfect angledrifting through. It's hard to beat it
without that trash control MODELOG. Yeah, it doesn't increases the fun factor.
And you see, you know,on that set up that's at thirteen,

(20:37):
you know, and the things they'vedeveloped over that that thing's ten eleven years
old. The things on what theydeveloped now of the last decade plus,
oh my god, it's insane someof the things that we're seeing now on
cars, let alone what they're playingwith on the battery side, because they
have the ability to manage it somuch better than you do, you know,
on an eternal combustion engine. That'sthe part that really sucks is they

(21:00):
could they could do more with itbecause it's easier to manage. Yeah,
and it's it's it's very similar toyou know, the carburetor versus the fuel
injection, you know, at leastfrom the fine tuning. So yeah,
fuel injection in the beginning was prettyrough on crude. But the precision that
fuel injection provides, you know,with clean burn and everything, the performance,

(21:25):
you know, it's it's a matterof calibration. And I think a
lot of these driver assists, whetherit's traction control, stability control, ABF.
The longer we play with them,the better the calibration, the tighter,
the more amazing it gets. Yeah, and I've got no problem with
fuel injection for the record, rightanymore? Yeah, for sure? What

(21:49):
what do you think the so Iwould saying here that I really see And
it was cool to hear the guysome Hypercraft when we talked to him on
the podcast this week, which willbe coming out soon. You guys should
download the and subscribe the podcast.We've got some really cool stuff on there.
To two guys garage podcasts if you'relooking for it. Uh. But
when we talk to these guys fromHypercraft, it was cool because they're exploring

(22:14):
so many things there, you know, down the road a little bit that
haven't happened. Even they couldn't tellus about a few things that they were
working on pre you could tell thereis a lot of excitement in that realm.
But what they were talking about forthe future is something you know,
I mentioned for the last you know, a couple of years now, there's
gonna be in the end, whenall the dust settles, there's gonna be

(22:34):
some crazy performance based hybrid that reallycomes in and knocks us off and just
knocks blows us all away, knocksto socks off like some sort of battery
operated to get the mass movie,because that's where that really shines. And
moving or transitioning into gas powered setup for real true big in performance.

(22:56):
Man, the horizon looks really prettyawesome when you think about performance and the
marriage of those two coming together inthe capability of what that brings the table
for us performance guys and fast guysor even diesel, oh, Diesel legit
man, Yep, it's crazy whatthey're doing in diesel. But don't you

(23:18):
see that, you know, whenyou're looking you know down the road,
be it three years to ten years, that's really where things are gonna shine.
Like if we're talking a thousand horsepower now, man, imagine what
the limb is gonna be ten yearsfrom now. Yeah, it's gonna be
an interesting transition. And how longwe hang on purely to the ice in

(23:38):
diesel, how long we how weblend in that hybrid space so we can
leverage both, and then how weend up on the other end, you
know, whether it's still splits ordo we kind of merge because we've solved
you know, some of these EVproblems like range and charging and lap times.
So yeah, it's gonna be areally wild, crazy space. And

(24:00):
how how everybody comes out attacking thiscombination? As you said, Willie,
you know, you throw you know, whatever end of the car you're powered
by gasoline, you throw an EVmotor and a smaller pack on the other
end. Now you got all littledrive. Now you're filling in torquers.
Now you're you know, now you'redoing new things and you come up with
new ideas. And as you werealluding to, you know, once you've

(24:22):
got EV. Uh you know wewere talking about you know, electric hand
tools, all of a sudden,from pneumatic to electric can tools. It's
not a one for one all ofa sudden, you got new features,
right, you know, there's newfeatures in a torque torque wrench, you
know, our impact wrench for settingyour tour or speeds or you know,
there's all sorts of things that nowcome along with it that we're going to
be playing with the wild the WildWest. Yeah, it's something you mentioned

(24:48):
during our podcast that was a completeeye opener for me. Most of the
oees, most of the offerings wehave right now in the ice arena,
you know, the form and stuff. It's there mainly to get the mass
movie right. If you could foregoall of that to the battery part of

(25:08):
the form, motors you can puton the wheels, you can then stick
bigger turbos on these internal combustion enginesand all of a sudden their performance because
you know, it's easy to getthe first few hundred horse power, but
now if you've got a battery mechanismmoving that thing, and the battery motors
you know, can give you eighthundred or a thousand horse power, and

(25:30):
then you stack a big turbo iceengine on top of it. Man,
dude, what are we talking aboutthere? And then and then spin the
turbos with electricity so that they don'thave to spool up. Oh, they'll
be there, you know, bythe time that mass is moving, you'll
have that. Yeah, that's theone. Right, you got two strategies
that think you both hit on.So all the oees because of what we've

(25:52):
you know, known in the pastturbo lag. They all have small turbos
to spool up and make a smallengine feel big. Well, then that
chokes fuel and that choke's power.But as Willy said, if you've got
a hybrid that can get you outof the hole, you don't need that
torque curve from a small turbo.You open that sucker up. So now
you've got the top end, yougot the EV part for the bottom in

(26:12):
the middle. Now you've got alla huge spectrum. Right. That's that
strange combination thing that we talked aboutwhere new things could happen. And then
you mentioned the other strategy. Soif you don't have EV, yeah maybe
you could do an EV boosted turboto kind of help with that lag.
So different ways to attack it.But yeah, with the hybrid system,

(26:37):
man, you you've already seen someof these supercars that are out there wicked,
you know. Uh, it's justmost of the oe's and we talk
about a hybrid escape. Yeah,they're just going for a weezy little motor
and battery to gybe a fuel.But if you go for fuel and performance,
right, you know you got somethingthere. You got So you just

(26:57):
said twenty four hours a daytime togive me some highlights? Man? Oh
yeah, and what happened that theyfinished? Yeah, so real quick and
I got a bound So yeah,I mean Rolex twenty four twenty four hours
of endurance race. You got,you know, four different classes of cars.
It makes it super exciting. Soyou've got your your Oe, you

(27:19):
know, uh, Lamborghini's Ferraris etcetera, Porsches, the Ford Mustang,
the new GTD out there GT threecar. Yeah, so you got all
those, and then you got theprototypes which are just wicked sick rates only
cars. So it makes an incrediblefield of passing and action, uh and

(27:40):
endurance. But yeah, so theFord guys came out with their GT three
and uh pretty rocked it all theway through the first half. One of
the Corvettes back ended one Mustang whowas behind another Mustang took out both their
diffusers. A little dirty, littledirty action there, so that lost them.
Bucks laughed, but Mustangs, toa few little bumps and bruises,

(28:02):
came out pretty strong for a firsttime. So I think I think they're
a contender to watch dat can you? I mean, would you ever guess
that, like, you know,a Mustang like run in twenty four day
so like and and surprisingly doing wellwow, yeah, it's it's all physics,
man, it's all physics. Yeah. Well, they do have in

(28:26):
that in that class, they tryto get everybody running the same times so
that it becomes hit strategies, driverconsistency, endurance. Uh so there's a
balance of power in there. Butso even that Mustang, though, is
choked down because it's faster than alot of the other cars out there.
Yeah. Crazy, it was goingso fast the last minute they put another

(28:48):
weight penalty on the Mustang to slowit down. Hilarious. And who would
have thought that Penske would have gotit done with a Porsche word Yeah,
dude, yeah doubt Yep. Multimaticbuilt the chassis. Ye, Penske controlled
the racing and beat YEPLI calak showright there. Yeah, Cadillac was like

(29:14):
one two three, you know,one two three ish, and Penske just
kind of came out and that's whatthat twenty four hours means. No screw
ups, you know, yeah,Man, pit it right, you know,
pittn it right, fueling it right, driver changes right, twenty four
hours. It's such a cool race, man. We seen it before,
watching the you know you'll see it. You'll hear about stuff like this,

(29:37):
but when you see it, it'scrazy watching the rotors go to glow red
when they're breaking and just hearing themin the backstretch when you hear those you
know, those big Va cars,which wild is how they sound so different.
The Ferraris, the Lambos, thePorsches, the Mercedes, the Corvettes,
they all sound completely different rolling aroundthe track, and it's wild to
hear them come by and hear thetones, you know what each car is

(30:02):
sort of delivering and looking for asfar as power and through the chicaane and
in the back straight away, it'sjust they each had their spot, man,
and you can go there and bea fan of all of them at
one point because they're all doing wildand cool stuff. Man, had to
be a health experience. Again.It's a neat venue because they do the
full uh you know, motor speedway, so they are just screaming all the

(30:23):
way around the track top speed.Then they come into the infield and do
all the chicanes and tight turns,so you get everything. You get wide
open, you know, one hundredand eighty five mile an hour screams,
you get all the infield cornering,the tight turns, the battles. It's
a I think it's probably one ofthe most exciting type of racists to watch.
And so yeah, I hope thinkit's a little bigger, you know,

(30:44):
Yeah, it's better than just roundand round and round. Yeah,
yeah, it does. Uh,but and that's why they lose people.
I'll get it. There's one classwho's leaving. You know. It's uh
it is wild Man's race. Ifyou ever get answer opportunity to go see
it, man, do it becausethese cars, man, you you don't

(31:06):
think they're going as fast as theyare when you see that race on TV.
But when you're there and you canfeel those things on the back straight
aways that come around you, oryou know, you hear them and you
see how fast just watching them hitthrough. You know, some of the
turns just change. You're like,whoa, you know, it's just it's
wild guys. Hundreds or thousands ofpounds of down for so the amount of

(31:27):
cornering in the cornering speed, itfive anything you've ever seen. You know,
you see a car coming in andyou're like oh oh oh and then
on rails whipped around and you're like, that's that's in human correct, that's
not possible anything physics like that.Yeah, man, it is wild.
I've had a chance to see itonce. Kevin got to go down again

(31:48):
this uh this year, and it'sso unbelievable just watching jaw drop and like,
what the It's crazy, but somethingyou really need to take in if
you're a big car enthusiast racing through. Yes, that is something to see
for sure. Yeah, I gota thanks for having me on man.
Yeah always man our podcast. Twoguys are at the podcast on TV show

(32:09):
and Motor Train Hill is probably airingright now. Much love. keV is
always good catching up, thank you. See. Uh, he's a big
time he's on it from the electricside. From you know, he was
in internal combustion engines for a longtime with Ford. He could more clearly

(32:30):
sort of state it, which iswhat he's good at. But you just
nowadays you just can't beat the computerassistant controls, and really with electric cars,
they're allowed. The set up onhow you can manage all those things
really is allowing it to do somethings that you just couldn't with an internal

(32:52):
combustion engine. And it's really juston a pure performance level, because look,
I'm on a hot rod, dude, I'm always gonna have a you
know, chop chop car. Ialways about that. I was going to
sell all your ice cars, justpure performance. Though. It's it's amazing

(33:12):
what they're They're just cable of doingthis. It's insane, and I agree,
but so far as we sit here, it's only for a couple of
minutes and then but you're talking aboutthe battery, just the pure battery cars,
I'm talking about the electric system.But does hypercraft they've got that licked.
Yeah, they are, so youcan't overheat the batteries. They're doing

(33:34):
long form racing now and and it'sit's charging and how they're maintaining that.
So the region properties they have arecoming around. But you know, every
minute there's a big breakthrough, andit's because it's so new and the technology
is so new. Yeah, thethermal management, the charging and recharging,
that's that's a problem for us rightnow, but it won't be another problem

(34:00):
in another year of some of theseperformance companies like a Hypercraft USA, they've
got that, they got a lotof those problems served with just the region
stuff they're doing and what they're buildingon the application to address the recharging is
obviously helping, and how they're beingable to snatch powers. So it's gonna

(34:21):
be interesting. But really performance wise, long term, I can't wait for
the future of those hybrids because batteryto get the mass moving a bigger turbo,
you know, ice engine. Youknow, if you've got something if
you've got batteries that are lopping youto the eight hundred nine hundred thousand wors
power range and then you stick anice engine that could take you from that

(34:45):
to you know, twenty five hundred. Yeah, who used to know what
you can have? Just performance?Man, that would be crazy, but
I was. I was at Carsand Coffee last month and I was talking
to a guy with a Tesla withthe performance and pack on it, and
he told me that I couldn't overheatthe battery. I gave him one of

(35:05):
my cars. I said, Isaid, call me, And of course
I haven't heard from it well,and I will give credit where credit is
due, you know me, Hey, you can overheat those batteries now.
Now, however, some of theleading people in that industry are making that
a significant bigger challenge than just what'sout there driving around right now. So
that's that's uh being chopped away,being inched the way, and and and

(35:30):
soon that won't unfortunately, that won'tbe the thing anice guy's bitch about.
All right, ninety we got abreak back out. It will be a
garage, will send a doin KVPIWilly B's garage. Portions of the following
program were prerecorded. You're back inWillyb's garage, have his fun with electric

(35:57):
and ice talk electronics programs, alot of fun stuff. I wouldn't even
get into that. I don't evenknow where it well, because I was
talked about Hypercraft their podcasts this week. Man, it's amazing with those guys.
I mean, they're just they wereking of hammers this week. And
again it's one of those things wherefor the longest time, people, you
know, you have been a kingof your hammers. Today, Oh my

(36:19):
god, it's like the for youknow, for for drivers, this is
something in that arena. This isthe ultimate challenge. It's you know,
rocks and crazy fast courses and youknow things that you just look and go,
how how am I going to climbthat? How am I gonna get
over these rocks? So traction allthat stuff is is unbelievably crucial. So

(36:42):
they're trying to They're trying to alwaysget as much traction, as much power
and all that stuff in play onthese courses as possible. Well, that
hypercraft took one of their military setup vehicles low CG amazing ability to monitor
and again with those four motors andthe computer assists that each wheel, they

(37:04):
can do things you just can't doin a normal setup. So they can
monitor traction at each wheel, applymore traction when it's needed, they can
you know, govern the slip onit, all the stuff, and they're
just smashing times up this course.So it is wild. What's out there?
What's you know? And what's next? You know, I'm never gonna
give up my hot ride, mymuscle car. You know, I'm gonna

(37:25):
sixty nine dollars charger. I poundaround town, hitting that chop chop all
the time. Man, if youwere being converted buddy. I know,
I think it sounded like I waspraising the fact that there's new technology out
there and the performance aspect of itis pretty amazing. But I've always I

(37:45):
have never veered off my course.I love my stuff. I'm alright,
riders, I'm just appreciative, youknow, of I appreciate new technology.
The performance aspects of battery is whatthe loure is because people people will you
know, gravitate towards it because ofthe performance. And that's the only thing

(38:06):
they have left. The early adoptersof all the ev stuff, they've already
pivoted, they've already gone to theirteslas. They'll tell you about it.
They're like the new version of vegans. So but you know, there's still
a lot of issues and problems withit, all that stuff. However,
you know, I'm I'm informed enoughto appreciate what is capable with some of

(38:29):
these setups because it's stuff that we'venever thought about before. It's stuff that
you don't normally think about, youdon't normally think about. Well, it's
a thousand horse power, how that'sthat means? It's like my car that's
a thousand horse power that's internal combusted, and it's it's not at all because
the power under the curve, theyhave all that to play with. We
don't have it for a certain window, but they can manage it significantly better

(38:52):
than what most people can, youknow, just by feel of the of
the gas pedal, which is nowadayselectronically control. There's no real cable there,
not mechanically. That feel is allfrom a computer. You know.
Again, that feel that you talkabout is all it's all coming to you
from a computer. So it's wildto see where that technology is going because

(39:17):
you think that they've you know,when we talked to Brian Teley about eight
months ago and he told us thathe found something during the pandemic on a
cam shaft that nobody today had found. And it's like, why, why,
after freaking, you know, eightyninety years of a camshaft and people

(39:38):
looking at it, why was heable just all of a sudden to find
and tack on fifty horsepower to everycamshaft. Well, it's because nobody,
you know, as much as youthink something had been tried and true and
tested and all that stuff, it'ssometimes you just need a breakthrough, and
there's breakthroughs occurring. I mean onthe battery side that unfortunately we just haven't

(40:04):
thought about it on the gas sidebecause it's not in the way or the
way that system can operate. Butnow with this new technology, you can
get some of that functionality and performanceout of it that you just weren't able
to control or manage before. Nowthe real deal is gonna be when they

(40:25):
combined to both. I'll give youperfect example, Like I watched a video
yesterday, Yesterday, day four,I think Thursday on the New this is
what's crazy electronic dirt bikes. Youknow, I am a dude that's gonna
be the hardest. I'm a fourstroke. I grew up with a two
stroke. I raised a two stroke. When I went from a two stroke

(40:51):
cr to my first Yama all fourhundred, I was like, oh my
god. Being a big guy.I'm two twenty right, So being a
big guy on a on a motocrossbike on a motocross track while I was
racing, well, the foreshow couldjust pull me through that turn. So
you go in. You know you'reway up on the tank. You worn't
that wheel chatter. You smack itdown a gear. You got your rear

(41:14):
tired chatter in that chain, youknow, providing some engine braking for you.
You set up you sticky front wheelup by that or sticky leg up
by the front wheel, start gettingyou know, ripping that turn. Well.
With a two stroke, you hadto come in. You had to
come in a lot hotter. Youhad to have all your suspension crushed.
You had to be down in thegear that was gonna give you that power

(41:36):
when you let that trigger go.So you would come in downshift normally too.
When I would come in, breakingthat down shift too, tick tick,
and then I would stick that frontwheel, put my my inside foot
right by it, grab a handfulof clutch and and and gas and then
snap it whap like that and itwould hit like a whip. And if
you time it right, it wouldbe right at that apex and you could

(41:57):
ride that that rear tire a littlebit of drink and that front tier coming
up, you can ride that allthe way out well with a four stroke.
You know, that timing that window, if you will, got a
lot shorter, because in motocross it'sif you're not on the gas or you're
not on the brake, then you'rewasting time, right there's that coasting time

(42:20):
that any good coach will tell youthat's you should be either on a throttle
or on the break because all thattime in between there is wasted time in
a race. So in a motocrossrace, you were able to come into
that turn a lot harder, hotter, down shift once right, and you
didn't have to find that right gearor the right power, or if you
weren't up in RPN because the bikewas unsettled or anything like that, all

(42:45):
that stuff went out the window.The four stroke you just grabbed a handful
of throttle and it just it waspull you out. It was more tractable
than the two stroke, even thoughwe missed the boom boom, boom boom.
And then they brought that into thefour show with the four fifties,
they you know, they hit likean old two stroke. And now what's
what's happened now? A lot ofpeople going back two shrokes because two shrokes

(43:07):
found some power. So it's wildhow they go back and forth. But
but there's you know, there's waysthat it affects, you know, affects
you as as a racer. WhenI when I switched over from a two
stroke to a four stroke, Ididn't have to work as hard to get
traction on the bike, so thatallowed me to become a little bit faster
through some of the turns and outof the turns. Well, that's where

(43:29):
you make up a lot of time. So and trail trail riding, Oh
dude, four strokes stokes killing.So it was wild man, that that
transition here, you know, andyou know, there's a bunch of us
at the beginning of the year liningup on two strokes, and then by
the end of the year, becauseeverybody's beating us, everybody a lot more
people lined up with four strokes.And then you know, as that progression

(43:52):
happened, you know, you justsaw that grow as well. And then
every manufacturer you know, went tofour strokes, and then you know,
there's been a a researche of twostrokes lately. It's just it's wild how
technology drives at But when you seewhat they're doing with an electronic dirt bike
again, this might be a pivotalmoment. I watched the dude taking an

(44:12):
electronic dirt bike out. It wasthe it was the equivalent of a two
point fifty. It was whatever theHonda offering is and man, dude,
the torque that this guy had andso he is a much better rider.
Look, I made it to prohere in Colorado, ra some pro stuff
and motocross. So look still thisday, man, I could ride a

(44:34):
dirt bike like I could bang barson the dirt bike. You know,
even my old ass gets out there. I got a motocross trade in my
backyard, man, so can Icould bang bars, But let me tell
you this guy could ride. Man, I forgot what, you know,
what pro rider they had on it. But dude, watching what this guy
was able to do and just thesuspension they put on it, and just

(44:55):
the you know that that bike wasflow iron and it was heavier, but
it probably didn't matter that it washeavier because the better tractability of the electric
motor. Yeah yeah, yeah itwas. It was I was like watching
amazing, Like damn. So canyou imagine in the next few years,

(45:16):
we just started seeing electric dirt bikesat Thunder Valley. Oh my god.
I mean I've I've ridden electric streetbikes. Yeah, but so how do
you how do you like those?You know, I kind of like them,
but I still like the ice bikesbetter because they're not the equal yet.

(45:38):
Man, I will tell you whenI rode that what was it the
Harley Lightning or whatever? That yeah, fast one and it takes the tracks
control off that thing. Yeah itis a really machine like that thing fast.
I'm trying to remember because I justlike a B twenty. It's crazy.
Yeah yeah, and then it andthen it stopped U twenty and it

(45:58):
hits a wall. Yeah yeah,but man, at any mile hour you
could rip a WHEELI on that thing. I was blown away when you pull
out the tracks control on that thing. It was crazy. Pikes peak on
the Davis in the Springs. Letme have one for a weekend. Oh
yeah, I couldn't believe it.And I ride a V Max bro.
I'm into the torque, you know. I'm into that. Pike's fast.

(46:19):
It's two hundred horse powers to retire. But yeah, I rode one,
and then I got back on myBMW S one thousand r RM option and
yeah, I'm still an ice guy. But now they're coming along zero zero
to sixty zero two one hundred.Yeah, I was pretty impressed. That's
that's where they're they're quick at Idon't think it's fast as my V Max.
But they're they're closed pretty close.They get out of the hole like

(46:43):
a mother back. The wheel capabilityis sick. It really was. It
was wild, but again, Ithink that's gonna be you know, there's
something said about having a decent loudexhaust on a motorcycle and just you know,
four bikes. Everything they bring cruise, you know, all right,
go Google twenty fifteen, Yamaha Vmax, Matt Gray. It's nasty, cool

(47:07):
bike. They're fun, you know, but it's again, it's just kind
of wild to see where technology isgoing. I imagine, you know,
come twenty twenty eight, there'll bea lot of electric dirt bikes out in
you know, SRC and RMXA andall that stuff. It's gonna be wild.
It's gonna be nuts to see,you know, Thunder Valley, you

(47:30):
know, holding the Nationals with abunch of electric bikes with no noise.
Oh but they did. It's woldthey still so yeah, there were Yeah,
it's like a world. But alsothe the bike was making. You
know, how the chain rattles.The chain can tell you a lot.
A lot of people don't realize.You know, us racer probably know this,

(47:51):
but how much you know it's important. A lot of people are like,
when I come in to turn reallyhot, I downshift, let in
breaking do which thing while I'm I'mcompounding the suspension in the front. I'm
trying to get my suspension sucked inin the front and I'll ride that front
brake a little bit. If I'min a rud or something with the throttle
still, and it's kind of likeyou know foot, you know, tow

(48:14):
and heel same way, but ona motorcycle, I'm keeping my suspension down
by riding the front break a littlebit with a handful of you know,
water throttle, and as I youknow, come through the apex, I'm
letting off that front break, youknow, to keep my suspension in that
rut. And then all that tractionbehind me, that torque curve. On

(48:35):
a battery deal, I could imaginewhat that's like. It's like how you
manipulate that as much. It's gonnabe much different, But imagine when they
figure it out, it's gonna befast. Like this kid, you know
who they had. He was doinga little like a little known track that
had a lot of tight turns,a couple of big ones and a few
jumps. So I'm anxious to seehow the bike reacted because how you throw
the bike around and all that stuff. Much easier to whip a two stroke

(48:58):
than is a four stroke. Kindof wild and weird stuff. I'm sure
it's different on a on a motorcyclefor a battery operated like, I wonder
how that engine breaking plays and howthey utilize that because it's such a part
of how a rider sets themselves up. So it's gonna be interesting to see
how that translates. But it's gonnahappen. Yeah, it's wild. Well,
and the extra weight, that's thethat's the amazing thing because they've got

(49:22):
a way more, but because ofthe tractability, you can still go faster
right on line with a traditional twopoint fifty. Really, yeah, I
gotta find the video. I watched. It was like a holy motive.
Now. I don't know what theI don't know what the to the degree

(49:42):
of degradation that the power of thebike has. So you know, a
moto is thirty minutes plus one labor two laps depending on how it is,
So I don't know that there.I'd be surprised if they're ready for
that yet because there's got to bea lot of power loss on that last
compared to that first one. Yeah, but you know, I see those
guys get a lot of hole shots. Yeah, you know, and you

(50:06):
know, and then they'll lose powerover time or I don't know how they
manage to get some of the powerback. It's gonna be interesting to see
how that's tackled. But wow,can they come out of the whole hard?
Like it's always turns where you winor lose the race In motocross,
A lot of people think its jumping. Sure, jumping a little bit do
with it, but you know,most of most of the people are about

(50:27):
the same time jump and stuff.Now if you're not, you can make
up a little time. But whereyou win and lose is do turns,
you know, and how you setup and come out of them. That's
where you want to lose a race, especially a motocross. So to be
able to get through a turn fasterI had to be a game changer.
Yeah, it definitely be some that'sgonna change how people well, how people
attack it and ride it well,and especially if you can utilize the tract

(50:49):
ability to get out of the cornerbetter from corner to corner, then that
would be an advantage of course.Yeah, and the TOURQ you need.
So when you're in a supercross track, a lot of times you'll you'll jump
in, you'll grab a handful ofthrottle, you'll have to get to the
gear where you're in that in thatsweet power range Wheelhouse. That was a
great thing about a four stoke becausethey extended that power range over the rpm

(51:13):
range. You know, however,compared to a battery operated bike, I
imagine the run up you would needon a jump significantly gets shortened if you're
if you have the capability to haveall your power at as at an instant
throttle twist you know, no gear, Yeah, no exactly because yeah,

(51:37):
so there's the difference because you'll bedown shifting working to clutch even on a
four stroke, and a lot oftimes it's the the build up to get
that sweet spot that you'll need onthe ramp. You know how if you
listen to motorcycles and dirt bikes,how they'll they'll hit a ramp, you
know, the r right off ofit versus the and let off on the

(51:58):
face. How that unloads of pension. And we'll picture bike in certain ways
a lot of people can manipulate thebike, what is doing in the air,
by the way they're putting the throttleon on the face of the ramp,
so a lot of that changes witha battery operated set up. So
it's gonna be wild to see whatthose bikes do in a race. I'm
anxious to see it. It'll bea short race, I think, yeah,

(52:22):
yeah, it have to be fornow, for now, like two
laps maybe. Well, I meanI watched them. It's probably a fifteen
minute video. Really, and didthey get slower and slower? Could you?
You know? I couldn't tell.I was I was just watching him
ride. He had a pretty longtrack and he did some wood area too,
and then he came back would jumpback onto the track and do the

(52:43):
moto stuff. So you know,the bike looked like it was putting down
a lot of power the whole time, you know. But wow, it
was definitely when I first saw himcoming to turn and he just ripped this
turn because I had a nice burmso you could just plant suspension and let
it eat. Oh my god,the rooster tail he was throwing even before
he got to the APEX was likeholy, like he has a power are

(53:07):
those legal to race with the icebikes currently, I don't think so.
This is the first video I've seenof a legit motocross bike with a battery
set up. There's some electronic bikesout there, but they're not race ready.
You know, this one looked friendly. Race. Let's go, all

(53:28):
right, we got to break's garage. Back at it just a minute.
Let the snow man's coming down.Yeah, it is all right, we'll
check it with you a second.It's bp I, Willy Bee's garage.
Stell back in Willybe's garage. Allright, check this out, y'all found
it will be his garage. Soit's Trey Cannard. He's an ex professional

(53:52):
writer. Nasty dude can wheel ona dirt bike. So he took out
the c R electric prototype. Itwas the second fastest bike in Saturday's testing.
Then in his first race, Canardwas zero point seven seconds of the
fastest lap of the session and finisheda credible second. He crashed in the

(54:14):
race, however, he was ableto jump out of the gates in the
first places, like saying like they'regonna be fast off the gate man,
and he was stretching out to alead before he before he crashed. So
if you've not seen it, it'sthee Honda. Oh what's this thing called

(54:37):
the Honda CR Electric Proto So it'sracing against four fifties. Yeah, So
when I saw the test run onit, I was like, Jesus,
that bike is fast, man,and it's crazy. What you know what's
wild is if you were big intoRC cars probably oh yes, seven eight
years ago, remember the transition.I was probably ten years ago from from

(55:00):
all the nitromethane little gas powered enginesto the electric brushless Dude, the brushless
is where like like I gotta yeah, I got an RC car go seventy
four miles an hour. Like it'scrazy, like stupid fast. So when
you think about like that was likethe first that I saw, or then

(55:22):
you saw a transition on your oldpower drills. Remember how they used to
be, you know, the oldschool battery operated and not have a lot
of power, and then brushless technologycame in. Like we were just talking
about how brushless replacing thematic everybody had, you know, the old air compression
and all your noumatic tools. Youknow, it's it's wild, but now

(55:42):
everything's brushless. Look at all theyou know, all the features that are
out there, how much power ithas. You know, it's crazy the
impact power. You know, myMilwaukee, you can set that thing on
three and it will just tear studsright out of cars wheel, just like
it's crazy. So that power nowbeing applied. You know, we were
just talking about dirt bikes. Well, Trey Canard, he's an advisor for

(56:06):
Honda. Dude, he was outon that prototype electric dirt bike and that
thing's fast, man, and firsttime out to do a result like that,
that's impressive. You got second,Yeah, and that's after he crashed,
so that wasn't qualifying. He wasthe second fastest in qualifying and he
crashed in the main after he hadyou know, a lead. Yeah,

(56:28):
still got back up and finished.I think respectfully. Is there a video
that we could see online? SomethingI could probably you could probably dig it
up. I saw the Uh,that's what I was watching the other day,
the first well they said one ofthe first test drives rides on that
on that new Honda, and I'mjust I'm just sitting there watching it.
I'm like, whoa, that's that'sfat. You like when you look at

(56:50):
a new bike and you can telllike the dude obviously knows how to wheel
it. But when you see thebike and you're like, whoa, that
thing is fast. You can tellfrom the amount of torque that is ripping
and how quickly you know, howquickly it comes out of the turn and
goes from squashed suspension, unloading thatsuspension and on the gas. Oh man,

(57:14):
that bike is very quick at it. And obviously, you know,
you could see that in lap times. And obviously the gate drop is something
that is going to have a bigadvantage. And it looks pretty cool too.
It looks as like a you knowfor empty Yeah. Uh, anyway,
I'm sure you know. It's funnybecause nowadays you have all that technology.

(57:34):
So that's popular on one side ofthe coin, but on the other
side of the coin. We didn'tget to speak with him yesterday as well.
I brought him one to day.My man, my boy Carson from
food Dog. You're going to vintageroute and and really fixing up a lot
of these Odor bikes because they're sopopular. You see new you know,
new bike offerings from you know ortried and true manufacturers be it Kawazaki,

(57:59):
Ya, Honda, Triumph, allof them were giving you offerings that look
like they're from the late sixties andearly seventies probably do the styling cool points
to stack up on it. Soyou got two things happening in modern bikes.
Man. Some some you know,battery operated stuff kind of come in
the fold, and some of thisretro styling that's got it. It's got

(58:22):
to boast well for you and guysof food dog absolutely. You know,
I think maybe around the kind ofearly eighties or so, everything took this
kind of like futuristic turn. It'slike we're going to pave the way of
like what the future is going tobe. And I think, uh,
I don't know. I feel likemotorcycles kind of got away from like the

(58:42):
sleek sexiness of where they started,and so you know, now these manufacturers
are kind of leaning back to wherethey where they came from. And I
think it's a smart move man.It's you know, the color options of
the seventies were pinstripe, bar styling, and it's wild how you know,
like you said, things from aminute got so incorporated and how fluid a

(59:07):
bike would like or fluidity and soyou know, the blinkers and side markers
and fairings and seat and side panelsand exhausts would all be incorporated in this
ebb and flow sort of look.Well, that kind of got played out
almost at some point, and thenyou saw a lot of the manufacturers going,
okay, what what are people likegrasping towards now? And a lot

(59:30):
of that old school styling, theyou know, sort of pin striping,
the old school stands, the oldschool looks, the side springs on the
seat, you know, and theway the exhaust had heat shields that were
you know, polished aluminum or stainlesssteel. How some of the exhausts kind
of went around and came out,you know, from a single to a

(59:51):
little double or stacked or whatever.All those looks from the late sixties or
you know, seventies and even earlyeighties all of a sudden started coming back
into play. Whether that was sortof pushed by companies like yourself that found
a niche in restoring these and bringingthem back to life, and and the
response that came from that that hadto be a little bit of of why

(01:00:12):
they went that direction, because youknow, companies like yourself are doing so
many cool things and that's becoming sopopular. People want that with all a
modern creature comforts. Absolutely, yeah, I mean you know it's it's it's
hard to like create a clear pathof where you want to go without kind
of reflecting on where you've been.And so that's really what food Dog's all
about. Man, It's about keepinglike this this very like stylish era of

(01:00:34):
motorcycles and like it just i meaneven down like the mechanics of them,
Like they were so simple and socool, and it was about like raw
real power, you know, likeand and they like you had mentioned chrome,
dude, like, yeah, whydid we Why did we ever did
chrome? Like it's shiny, itis pretty like plastic black plastic. It
was crazy chrome chrome was too heavyfor the sports bikes. Yeah, but

(01:01:00):
I mean if you look it out, how cool is it, you know,
to see some of that styling andall that stuff come come back and
play. Everybody remembers that that sortof cool. Look at the CAZy one
thousand, man, it was like, oh, put some straight bars on
that bitch four into one man,have it make some noise, oh gravy.

(01:01:20):
But really, when you look atall these cool bikes, man,
I love the new trend of themlooking like some of the older bikes.
But that makes you appreciate the olderstuff, right, because man, I
see you guys on Instagram, andyou guys can follow the food dog motto.
Dude, they're getting some cool restorationson some classic, really epic looking
bikes. Man, Like y'all justsend a couple home this week that were

(01:01:45):
just awesome. Hell yeah, man, we had some beautiful ones in this
week. One of the bikes wesent home this week was a brand thinking
new Kawasaki Z nine hundred. Allwas so so d dude, and they
and the paint on it. Thepaint is exact actly how the Z nine,
you know, or the KZ ninehundred was. It's got like the
cool tail piece, it's got theflake paint in the streight and like everything.

(01:02:08):
Man, it's like Kawasaki is doingit absolutely right. But yeah,
you know, it's it's like alot of the bikes we we end up
dealing with, you know how familymemories tied to them and and you know,
we just did the expo this lastweekend and the bike that I had
front and center was in nineteen sixtynine Honda Z fifty, just a little

(01:02:30):
mini bike, you that little blueone totally it just stopped. I mean,
it doesn't matter if you were likea big burly biker dude or like
a vintage nerd like myself. Man, everybody stopped and was like, that's
what I started on. You know, it's it. It becomes like the
cool thing about the vintage era ofbikes is it's not really about the brand.
It's about more of the era andlike, dudes, this is what

(01:02:51):
dude started on. Nobody started ona Dina wide glide or any of that
stuff. You know, everyone startedlike a mini bike or a dirt bike
or something cool and old. Youare fifty baby, Hell yeah, So
it's cool, you know, especiallyevents like the Motorcycle Exo. Man and
Scott and Christy Schultz are absolutely crushingit. They're the ones who run and

(01:03:13):
own the event now, and they'redoing such a good job of, you
know, kind of branching out aboutwhat the Expo has become known for over
the years. And I think that'simportant because you know, I think what
it's been known for is just kindof a sliver of the motorcycle community.
So it's cool that we get tobe out there and kind of wrap a
whole new world and you know,show some people some things they haven't seen
for a few decades. Yeah.Man, Plus you guys, you had

(01:03:36):
a seventy three Yamaha at three rollup in that bitch that a duro.
Dude. Yeah, dude, thatbike was sick. And this is what
they're this is their wheelhouse. Theylove to restore these old bikes. Would
you say you're more about just gettingthe bikes running or do you like doing
full rest thos like which have youhad your druthers? Which way would you

(01:03:58):
like to go or be? Youknow, man, it's it's it's kind
of a day by day thing.Like it's cool because we do like a
lot of long term projects and thenwe get people bringing in, you know,
their their cherry collector bike that weget to just do like a fine
little tune on and it's it's youknow, I could never like afford to
have a massive collection of motorcycles,so it's cool that like I get these

(01:04:19):
for just a brief moment. Sothe restorations are amazing, because I mean,
what's cooler than being able you know, you do it with your cars.
You get to bring this thing backthat like people don't the majority of
people don't see like the potential init. So it's like when I see
a I'm like, ooh, Ican already see how it is finished,
and like being able to see thatprocess through it it's so sick man,

(01:04:39):
Like you know, it's a scaryprocess because like right now we have to
we do have to source out someof our work. So it's like I
have my paint shop that I useand you know from our sailor Jerry bike
we built this last summer. Likewhen you're when you're outsourcing work, man,
and it's on other people's schedules,it gets a little bit a little
bit shaky, but it's it's therestorations. You know, I'm not a

(01:05:02):
huge and everyone knows this, LikeI'm not a huge fan of doing custom
stuff with these old bikes, LikeI don't like cutting them up. It's
got a really cool vision and thebike itself isn't anything all that rare.
We'll do it, but yeah,man, it's more about the restorations with
us for sure, Yeah, nodoubt. And what's really cool is you
know when you have like the heirloompiece that was like hey there's there's my

(01:05:25):
dad's or that was passed down throughthis or you know, my brother gave
me. This thing has been inthe garage, you know for the last
two decades. I need to getit running. When you guys are able
to deliver memories like that, that'swhen it really hits home runs. Absolutely,
dude. So the Z fifty thatI was just talking about that we
had out of the expo. Thisthing was bought brand new in nineteen sixty

(01:05:45):
nine by I think the dude's greatgrandfather. So it had multiple generations of
grandkids that cut their teeth on youknow, this bike that wheels like began
on this bike. Cool thing aboutthis, like this is uh, that's
the fee. I don't know ifyou know this, Willie. That was
the bike that you donated that enginefor. You just randomly had a nineteen

(01:06:08):
sixty n Oh, that's the bike. That's the bike due So we're restoring
this thing the family and we getto the engine and their engine is just
absolutely toast. So it's like,where am I going to find a nineteen
sixty nine on the right right?Really I remember that. He just got
a text. He's like, it'sa family it's a family bike, and

(01:06:30):
they you know, it's got severalgenerations and they'd be arrested in buying your
engine. I'm like, I justgive it to them. I just let
him have it. It's all right, that's crazy. But I remember you
saying that it had several generations offamily that it had experienced some seat time
on that little bike. And imaginethe stories that accompany that, And how
cool is that for a for adad or a grandparent who passed it down

(01:06:54):
to the dad who's now passing downto his Imagine how cool that is for
them to see their kid riding onit. Like, oh, and now
it'll go multiple generations from here.Yeah, and dude, we here's where
I really take pride in what wedo. Man, this bike came to
us so beat up, and normallyI would be like, I don't know,

(01:07:15):
that is pretty far gone, butyou know, the memory tide of
the thing, it became then likea goal of like, Okay, we
are going to bring this thing back. But the cool thing now is like
it's with these motorcycles that were restoreChances are they're never going to go back
to the state they were when wefound them, Like they're always going to
be appreciated. And that's like that'sso cool knowing that, like, you
know, everybody wants to leave theirlegacy, and like, you know,

(01:07:36):
I had a cool music career beforethis, So I've got like a whole
catalog of music that I get toleave, but I also get to leave
these amazing motorcycles. You know,the people are going to be like,
that's you know, in the inthe future. However, that's from the
sixties. That's from the seventies,like and it's cool to be kind of
it was crazy, bros. Ifyou're born in the late sixties, early

(01:07:57):
seventies and to watch people talk abouthow old whoa that's from nineteen seventy that
is Oh my god, it isso old. That is like whoa,
that's like dinosaurs. That thing runs. It's like, shut up, youngsters.

(01:08:21):
When I started this business, Iwent around to all the motorcycle shops
to shake hands with everyone and belike, hey, you know, I
know you guys don't do vintage,but we do, so here's an option
for you. And so I wentinto Aurora Honda and Lane or Wayne Lane,
who I know people that are listeningright now know about Wayne. That

(01:08:42):
whole family that owns Aurora Honda isso absolutely incredible. And Wayne actually passed
away about a year ago, buta cool story. I went in there,
and he's a legend in the motorcycleworld. But I went in and
I was like, yeah, youknow, I'm working on old Honda's and
he's like old and Honda don't gohand in hands, Like Honda's considered a
new bike. You know this,He's like he's been doing it since like
forever, and his collections all like, you know, nineteen teams and nineteen

(01:09:04):
Yeah, those dudes are like,that's that stuff's not old, Like,
oh yeah, not compared to thesteam engine you're working with on that thing.
But yeah, most people can considerit ode. But that that was
an era, much like in carsthat were were so unique, so cool.

(01:09:28):
It was an explosion of performance andwhat people were doing, and you
know, they finally figured out whatcompression could do. And you know,
I never forget man, right,my Dad's KZ one thousand, it was
like the stupidest fastest thing ever.Like that bike was so ahead of his
time. You would like you wouldgrab a handful of that throttle and you
give you that tickle feeling and youtell me and you'd be like id but

(01:09:50):
it was so fast, like nothingwould touch it. Man, it was
so wild. It was such adominating bike, you know, compared to
cars and all that stuff out inthat time. Oh it was it was
just like, oh my god,that ding Kim fly. You know,

(01:10:10):
it was so awesome man, justuh. And you know, whether it
was that or a you know,a CB or just something like that or
you know, for me, Ilove some of the old yahaha stuff.
So even though those Enduros, thosestreet bikes, to see those things live
again is so cool. They're attachedto so many memories for you, for

(01:10:30):
probably a family for something like that, and to see them live again is
pretty epic, man. So coolthat you're doing that. Man. And
uh, I said, keep itup. Have you guys decided where you're
gonna move? You guys are expandinginto a bigger shop, because what's your
time right now? When rest thoseare getting caught getting bikes running if they're
uh, if they find one orhappen to have one in the back of

(01:10:50):
their shop garage or out back inNatusha. I mean, you know,
it really depends on how far Godit is, you know, some bike
city. You're at our shop becauseit just takes so long to get them
done right. Some bikes, youknow, we can have something done in
like a month or two if it'sa you know, it kind of just
it really depends on it. Andalso also budget wise, like you know,

(01:11:11):
we really work with people on theirbudgets. If you're like, I
really want to get this thing done, but I don't. I can't drop
a big chunk right away. Youknow, we can kind of chunk things
up over there for you, nodoubt, But I mean moving, I've
been checking out spaces. I haven'tfound anything yet that I absolutely love.
It feels right, So we're stillover off I seventy and Havana and our
warehouse there. You know, Idon't make sure. Once I place will

(01:11:34):
pull the trigger pretty quick. Butyeah, you know, if if you're
out and about you just want tosee some cool old motorcycles, I mean,
this is my life, so Ialways, you know, I always
welcome everyone to just stop by andhang out with me and chat and meet

Cool stuff there. We'd get back. Cool stuff going down in Vegas.
And I'm not just talking about thesuper Bowl. Talk about muscle cars,
homie. Hang on, I'll tellyou more about that in a minute.
It's Want seven nine KVP I WillyB's garage. You're back in Willybe's

(01:12:46):
garage. What is up? Swoobee'sgarage? Buck to Mike Pettiford, go
for the number four, go forit services, you know, talking about
kind of cool things. Today,we had a little side discussion on the
performance of it's crazy electronic vehicles andwhat's going on there. Wow to see
what's happening in that realm. Ultimately, Uh, I think we can agree

(01:13:10):
it's it's probably gonna be a mixtureof both. I will tell you what
what else is cool is is havingthe ability to always go out of test
and just what sucks here. AndI was talking to a buddy mine,
Craig Carmon, who helped me,uh with Corras Street Laws back when I
ran that it just sucks that wedon't have bandam anymore here, Like,

(01:13:30):
honestly, god, it just itblows on so many levels. Yes,
I heard a big you know,there's an internet battle now between you know,
we're gonna is it Julesburg or youknow Peblo the best track and blah
blah blah, and I love bothof them tracks. Did a bunch of
cor Street Laws stuff down in Peblo. It's got a great road course attached

(01:13:53):
to it. But you know wasthe Yeah, it was like, man,
if you have off a big eventthere, it was like something else,
man. And the fact that it'snot there, the fact that it's
gonna be a co parts is justwild. But uh, yeah, I
wonder if that can be. Craigand I were talking about, you know,

(01:14:13):
we got to find some place todo a Cash Days event. Your
Cash Days event, Man, thoseused to be some really fun racing.
Like you know, you look atwhat goes on now in street racing and
they're so quick to shut down ahighway or you know, get busted in
the middle of traffic. Nowadays racinglike we had destination racing places, and

(01:14:34):
that's a big difference. Look,I'm not gonna be a hypocrite here and
tell you don't ever race your car, because I'd be racing all the time.
But I do it. I doit out, man, like I
do it out, you know,in the middle of nowhere when nobody's around
or you know, it's well andtimes were different back then, you know,
long ago, a lot of peoplewere street racing, and I don't

(01:14:58):
want to say it was more acceptable, but now, you know, the
fabric of driving has changed and it'smore predatory now. Yeah, yeah it
is, man. There's a lotmore defensive driving going on out there than
anything else. And people are alwaysor oftentimes have their head stuck in their
stupid phone, so a lot ofdistractions. But you know, when you
have the ability to especially nowadays withall this crazy cool power out there,

(01:15:23):
Like we're talking, we were atsuch a crescendo. When it comes to
the available power. They can justgo purchase. You can just you could
buy power. Used to you know, it used to be a whole different
game when you wanted to upgrade yourcar. You know, you would,
you know, be at the junkyardhunting for that small black four hundred and
that seventy three Capri Classic. Youknow, it'd be like, oh,

(01:15:44):
I got me a four hundred smallblock, do some little porting on the
hedge, but camps out in there. I'm ready to rock. Well,
nowadays everything super charge, all thiscomputer stuff, modern muscle god is it?
Is it epic? Is it not? On top of everything else that
we can have out there. Youtalk a thousand North powker or my buddy
Brendan shap he picked up one ofthem charging one seventies and he souping it
up. Just send me a youknow, borler, info on the exhaust

(01:16:08):
on it. Just crazy cool stufflike that. And muscle cars at the
strip has become this sort of groundzero for you know, at least the
western part of the country to reallybring their hot rods muscle cars too and
do some real legit battling, Likeif you got some fast cars, man,

(01:16:29):
this is the spot. Doesn't matterthe brand, doesn't matter what badge
you're repping. This is remember thefirst Fast and Furious. How they're always
talking about Yo, you gotta showup a race wars man. This is
like race wars, but that legittrack and this man that we have on
puts it on. Phil. Welcometo show Man. Always cool. Catch
up have you on? Man?Muscle cars at the strip? Looking.

(01:16:54):
I saw all the social media pushover the last week or two, and
I'm like, it's coming, baby, it's coming. It happens in March,
so it's come quick. But thisis an epic time in a track
that's not too far out of Denver. Yeah. Las Vegas is one of
the premier facilities in the world.And yeah, if you if you like
muscle and you like high horsepower,we're even doing a demon one seventy race

(01:17:16):
and drag zing A is a sponsorof it. How cool is that?
WHOA, that's dope. The oneseventies was stupid. I love Christler for
nothing more than that, for theirstupid level of engineering and they're like,
all right, well we up thebar because if you recall, like people
won't remember this, but when thathell cat dropped in whatever that was,
twenty fourteen or twenty twelve, whateverthat was, whatever year they came as

(01:17:39):
with a hell cat, that wasone of the best kept secrets in like
motorsports of time. A few peopleknew what they were coming with, but
all of a sudden boom, youhad the ability to walk in to get
seven hundred horse power, Like thatwas mind blowing, Like that was a
big slap in the face to FordChevy. Everybody's like, what the hell
is Dodds doing? And they justkept upping it, so all the other

(01:18:00):
manufacturers had to play catch up,and then they would up again. Now
all the other manufacturers play catch up. Well, now that came out with
one seventy, it's a thousand horsepowers to retire. It's like, man,
and that's that's a that's tuned downa little bit. So these one
seventies, what a debut they're gonnahave out there. Man, what an
epic cool battle that's going to be. How many of you think it's gonna

(01:18:23):
show up for it? All thebrave ones, all of the time slippery
teachers, if they're drag racers,they'll be there because it's they can throw
anything they want at it. Theyjust got to make it hook and go
oh wow, it's r So it'sbasically bring you one seventy and we'll see
who's the fastest. Well, it'sthat they got to pass the NHR tech

(01:18:45):
and they've got to have a licenseto keep them safe. But yeah,
what a wonderful time we live in. You get a car like that,
and if you were watching what happenedon Sick Week yesterday, big twin turbo
Coyote ran over two hundred miles anhour and in drove to the next stop
and won the whole thing. Imean, how awesome is that? It
is crazy if you love muscle cars. You know, when we first introduced

(01:19:08):
the modern muscle stuff, everybody turnedtheir nose up at a bit. They're
not turning their nose up anymore whenthey watch those parachutes come flying out at
the end of it. Yeah,man, there is no doubt you cannot
argue with today's you know, modernhorsepower, you know setups, they just
you know, the superchargeres keep gettinga little bit a little bit bigger,
and these cars keep going a littlebit faster, and it is crazy to

(01:19:31):
see what these guys are those crazy. I mean he he just mentioned a
freaking coyote. You know how smallcoyote engine is like it's like three hundred
you know, change, it's nothing. It's a tiny, little, you
know, any bitty engine. Butmy god, you put big turbos on
that thing. Isn't making huge powernuts? Well, the beautiful, the

(01:19:54):
beautiful thing about the event is inthe same event, and I know there's
a lot of guys in Colorado runningthe style is super stock and then we're
also bringing in nostalgic gasers this year. So you go from the modern technology
to fifty year span back and watchthe wheel standards. It's gonna be it's
gonna be a lot of fun.Yeah. Man, When does it actually
occur? What are the dates againso people can take a take a look

(01:20:15):
at it online. So everybody knowswhen Saint Patrick Bady is because they all
have to work green Yeah that weekend, Yeah about seventeenth. There you go.
So when you're thinking about, youknow, a great way to race
your car, your muscle car inthis case, even your old school stuff.
This is one of those events thatreally is just amazing because so many
people come from all over and reallyyou have some just stupid fast cars,

(01:20:41):
but you have a class for justabout any auto enthusiast out there right when
it comes to muscle cars and modernmuscle. Yeah, absolutely, And that's
that's a beautiful thing about the event. If you if you want to come
out and try a track and beon one of the premiere facilities in the
world, just sign up and come. What about the old school guys like
me? You still have that fivehundred and forty two keeping get sind you
had a big block in that Osixty nine charger with that seven twenty seven

(01:21:05):
and trans break, Uh, whatabout it? You got a class RUSS
guys Absolutely our Milla Don Pro ClassPhase five thousand dollars to win. Yeah,
we'll figure out. But see thereyou are our stock superstock pay ten
thousand, damn. And do youdo any any other things like is there

(01:21:25):
vendors out there? Is there alot of people? Is there a car
show aspect to it? What elsecan people see out there for this weekend?
Well, the other thing that's reallytaken off, Willie, since you
were there in the autocross. Yeah, and the same level of technologies come
into the autocross and the autocross hassold out for twenty twenty four already.

(01:21:45):
Wow. But yes, we havea huge car show and swap me vendor
and the other thing that we're doingthat is putting a focus on this for
everybody that loves cars as we doa deal call project Cars at the strip
and if you're working on a car, we want you to come put your
car in the display because not everybodyhas got a one hundred and pointy show
car, right we don't, wedon't. Nobody should stay home. This

(01:22:08):
is an event that's put on forall muscle car enthusiasts that have passion for
these muffle cars. Yeah. Man, So there's something for everybody out there,
which is awesome. I remember that'swhere I took my road Runner on
the autocross course out there and itwas one of the first years they had
it. And Dan, who isJohn Hodskins his right hand man, he

(01:22:30):
brought that Challenger that they'd done outthere and he was tearing up in that
Tha Challenger that you were with allthat you know, Hoskins TVs stuff on
it. So do they have differentclasses in the auto crossers just run what
you brown, No, it's uhBerg Racing who used to work for Hodkiss
before and John moved his headquarters toNorth Carolina. He runs the whole thing

(01:22:54):
and it's and it's sponsored by TCI, and there's there's there's competitive classes.
When you watch one of these burnersgo through the autocross, that there's an
oh ship moment for everybody. It'sreally impressive to watch these cars carve and
then imagine taking a seventy three Dusterwith no basically no shocks because it's all

(01:23:14):
war out and run it through theautocross in the gelope clap and the body
roll versus body. Yeah, isthere is there any cash prizes for the
autocross? It's just awards and RobBird is working on on that. But
those guys are bragging rights are abig deal. But the technology that's gone
into these cars, it's his mindblowing as what Lily was just describing.

(01:23:39):
It's just these cars will carve likea like a nine to eleven. That's
insane. It's nuts man, whichis so cool because nowadays you have that
ability to you know, take idioplatform and make your handle put power to
it. May you have traction givethe ability for a thing to stop.
What's great about the modern era andtechnology is, man, you can you

(01:23:59):
can get it done. You canget anything going fast on any sort of
track or any sort of road courseor any sort of drag strip. It's
just a matter of whatever your tasteare, which is great. You gonna
see it all. Like what's theone great thing about muscle cars and strip?
You will see You'll see everything youcould ever imagine, man, whether
it's on the you know, theautocross track or whether it's just lining up

(01:24:21):
man and dragging the thirteen twenty.These guys are getting after it. It's
really cool. And if I recall, right, there's a lot of vendors
and people that service the muscle carindustry out there as well, So that's
something you might want to check outif you're looking for certain pieces, parts
and components. Right, Yeah,absolutely. And then one other element that
we've brought in is we brought inlive entertainment and we haven't announced it yet,

(01:24:45):
but we're going to announce it onyour show. Sweet Danny Cocher Accounts
Customs in Las Vegas is a hugecar guy and his band is going to
be playing at the event on Saturday, the sixteenth of March. Wow,
cool man, that's all. It'sa big event at the hotel. Oh,
they're gonna be playing at the track. Nice all right. I remember
when I went they got to theyhad this big party and live music at

(01:25:10):
the hotel and we're doing the thingand they allowed us to pull some of
our like really cool cars inside theveneo. You got to bring my fifty
eight and a half in there onetime and it was dude, it was
cool. Just a big concert withcars kind of sprinkled in. Like they
make this whole thing such a coolweekend and events. So there's concert,
there's music, there's autocross, there'sa car show, there's vendors out there.

to give a little nod to scoopsscoops dot com. That's my man scoop
producer short and air back here.He's got a cool little store I'm anxious
because I was talking to Sterling crelity, I think is how he pronounced it.

(01:30:30):

scoop. He's just created this littlestore. He's got three D printer and
he's making some really cool stuff.He just put off some chains last night.
He's got really cool medallions, badges. You've got graduating kid twenty twenty
four, he can do class attwenty twenty four, put their name on

coupon, you'll get twenty five percentoff. That's awesome. He did that
for me. Uh yeah, yeah. But I'm excited because in the automotive

(01:31:21):
world three D printing. You watchthis guy, Sterling honestly got three D
printed Lamborghini. He's tackling a reallycool project right now that you should you
should be following his YouTube channel hsterling back as you can find him,
uh following, because he's building justan amazing, crazy cool platform in a

(01:31:43):
McLaren right now. This guy,he's really kind of broke the fringe or
kind of the motives to what youcould do with three D printing when it
comes to cars. So that worldI'm hoping to get tuned up and involved
with pretty quick. It's because Ithink it's a it's a world where every
shop, every garage, every youknow, weekend warrior probably going to be

(01:32:06):
able to use a three D printerin that scope in the automotive world.
You just don't know. You don'tknow it yet, you know how you
you didn't realize how important a scannerwas until you got one, or how
important you know, Yeah, howdid I live without an air fryer?
Yeah? So it's just wild thatthis technology, uh is, you know,

(01:32:30):
is available And you know, themore I think, the quicker you
get tuned up on it and understandand accept it, the better off you'll
be as a technician down the roadand just being able to prepare a fix
and do what you will cars.So I'm stoked. I'm going for one
of those creality three D printers aswell and seeing what I'm able to do

(01:32:51):
