Ok guys as you may or may not know I am working on a TV show with Rich Christensen called "Blow it up" it is part of a new block of TV coming to SPEED called "Launch Hour". Anyway we will be taping at CORDOVA DRAGWAY on May 1st and 2nd and I would like to invite you out to watch a...

TYPE 1 Vs TYPE 4

In this corner we have ART Thraen of Air Cooled Engineering

VS

Jake Raby of Aircooled Technology.

The premise of the show is a true hot lap competition. 1/8 AND 1/4 passes hosted by Clay Milliken.

We'll have telemetry on the cars and drivers.

Looks like Muffler Mike will be driving the Spyder Replica of RAT and of course who better to pilot Art's car than Art himself.

Should be a blast, I'll be there announcing at the track and running around like a chicken with my head cut off, should make for a good day!!

Got a chane to talk to Muffler Mike in Phoenix about it. Sounds like heck of a show but I think the trannys will let go before the engines. These are some talented builders and great drivers.
Good luck guys.
