#CannonballRun #C2CExpress #CrossCountryRacing #CoasttoCoast Fred Ashmore has been a car guy since before he was born I think. The rumor is that he drove his mom home from the hospital.  Multiple Cannonball Run and Bandit Run record holder!! He has had lots of attention from his trip in the rented Mustang but we'll discuss his Galaxie and Foxbody build plus his life before this fame. Like back when we went from crewing on a Top Fuel team to driving the car!

Calvin and his dad, Andrew, are hot rodders to their core! Drag Racing, Land Speed, Burnouts and Ice Cream are what these dudes do!!

Calvin runs a youtube channel named Nivlac57 and frequents the Sloppy Mechanics Public Page. Sloppy is actually where I first saw them and have followed for a long time! Their brand of vehicle modification is all about budget HP and using what you have to make the most power!

I can't wait for you to hear their story! Their racing heritage goes back to the early 1900s when Andrew's grandfather raced cars!!

Sit down and get ready for a great time with great story tellers!!

After having Bryce and Matt for Episode 81, we have ventured down the rabbit hole of Coast to Coast Endurance Driving!!  The Musketball was hosted in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the first Cannonball!! GonzoPrius is on to tell the story of participating in the event!

Crazy projects like a LS swapped 350z, Corvettes, Mustangs and even Subarus!! WTF is a great supporter of the channel so let's take an hour and find out what keeps him going to the shop!!

We came here to roast tires and raise money!  

We visit with SkidsforKidsUSA to tell us all about their awesome program that helps to raise money for children across America!!

Listen to me when I say this, Carl is the hero we all needed. The storm kicked me off the Live Stream, he kept it going and did a great job!!!

Once the internet was restored in town, we jumped back on and went for 2 hours!!

We immediately knew Hidden Motorsports were our kind of people when we saw Klaus the Barbarian - a BMW 3series that was now sporting a deathkart cage and a 1200hp big inch turbo LS!! These guys have participated in several burnout competitions, hosted their own car events and drive Klaus everywhere!!!

Did we just become best friends?!!! 

David competed in the Musketball, like the Cannonball but with cars less than 100whp, a few weeks ago in a Jetta wagon disguised as an Organ Transport vehicle!! 

He also competed in the 2021 Hot Rod Drag Week!! 

This guy is all about endurance driving events, and you know we love that style of driving!!

Matt is a long time friend! We met at a Cruise Night when he parked his sweet C10 next to Stanley!!  

He now has a fleet of cool cars - a Gen 3 Hemi swapped Duster, the big block C10, and an old Dodge sweptline that is getting the daily driver treatment!!
