    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPSISODE 59, BROOKS FLEHARTY!!!

    This dude showed up at a rocky mountain race week with a blower mounted to the chassis of his Fox Mustang complete with a 3rd pedal and even though he struggled that week, the hook was set and he was going to be back every year with something cool. The mustang eventually ended up with a turbo but kept the stick, and for a while he was duking it out for the quickest stock TKX car. He's got a twin turbo automatic car he brought out recently that is a menace to drag and drive and Brooks is one of the good ones. Once he gets it figured out, yall are in TROUBLE! he also runs BMF automation, the guy behind the reaction time carts at RMRW's, and BMF ammo, for your freedom seeds!

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 58!!! SCOTT KLEPINGER!

    Scott is an OG drag week dude, from a fox body mustang with a grand national v6 in it (that his wife still drives) to his 3rd gen jet, a 427 LS with a huge turbo on it that is aptly named because it sounds like a jet when it's spooling up. We met in 2014, and we've been cool since. We reconnected at sickweek when Klepinger and his family were slinging hot dogs, and I was eating them with a quickness! Scott is such a cool dude and his cars are awesome. Come check it out!

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 57!! ANDREW DOPITA!!!

    Known as the Mayor, because he's from a town of like a dozen, Andrew has been in drag and drive for a while now. Starting with a big boat impala with a typical turbo 5.3, he made a name for himself in the 10.0 index class with the 10.0 ET limited impala. He got serious and got into a new edge mustang capable of printing slips with 7 in the front, and has since competed with that at a number of drag and drives. He now is, among working his "normal" job, doing tuning and engine machining now out of his garage. dough-pita is a g, this one was fun.

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 56, JOSH REICH!!!

    After the dancing and tiptoeing finish to shearing his lug studs on RaceWeek 2024, he heroically fixed it under the tower and went on to win the BMF shootout with his rowdy radial car on 235's. He was freighttraining folks with a turbo LS chevy colorado. Fast forward to MegaWeek (after this episode was filmed) and Josh pulled a rabbit out of a hat and tuned my Cadillac which was somehow wounded. He fiddled through HP tuners and made it not only rev but make some solid power after some drama with engines in that junk. Anyway, Josh is the dude. Happy to have had him on and happy to call him a friend now.

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 55, TREVOR AND ERIN BRANDEN!!!

    Heiling from the great white north, the Brandon's have been all over and done all sorts of things with cars in the past, to include their now 7 second legal/capable GT-R. The now drag and drive ride has done road rally work as well as some transcontinental speed work in the past, but has settled in nicely as a drag and drive contender. On a personal note, I love these two, and this was super fun to sit down and get to learn more about them! Check it out!

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 54, ERIC CARROLL!

    Eric is one of the Texas racers, and Stevie and I were lucky enough to be able to meet with him and his wife Crystal through the years, and he's also been a good sport about me making fun of his Toyota's. A dude that started with a turbo 2JZ powered IS300, he's been back in his Lexus GS-F as well, which is Toyota's version of the coyote, basically, a 5.0 naturally aspirated V8 that runs well in the 13's on street tires. This dude also helped get ol Corn Dog Tom's mustang in shape before he made it over for MegaWeek from the UK, so you know he's cool. He's also building Crystal a 68-72 pickup with a gen 6 BBC! Cool stuff. Check it check it check it out!

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 53, ROYCE PAYTON!

    Builder and driver of the "nightmare" blown alcohol drag and drive Mustang, Royce is a staple in drag and drives now. We talk about drag and driving a roots blown monster in a sea of turbo LS stuff, what he's got coming next, and even a sneak peek of his wife Shaylese's new Camaro, which he's since campaigned at Big Sky Raceweek! Check it out! It's going to be LOUD!

    THAT'S COOL... DRINK!!! EPISODE 52, PHIL BALMACEDA AND NICK BALL!

    Nick is my best buddy's nephew, and I got him into drag and drive a few years back, where he met Phil. Nick has a CTS-V coupe and Phil a ZR1 corvette, which are powered by nearly the same engine, so the friendly rivalry was on instantly. This was a fun one watching a couple of friends chop it up and party with me on the cast. Check it out!
