TRZ guys are the BEST!!!

[@jeffmckc2081]

I can remember when they took over. I put their stuff on my Drag Week car and they have always treated the Drag and Drive guys great since it all started in 2006. I still use and sell their parts. Jeff McConnell says hi.

[@2sheamotorsports199]

What a great episode. Awesome stories. Really cool to see two people from the industry talking about the history of the small tire world, and the progression of the business’s / parts development etc.

[@cranjismcbasketball946]

[@bondobird]

Mike is an awesome dude! badass shop that builds parts for high caliber cars, yet still shows love to the little guy. I swear by TRZ forever because of their service.

[@RestlessRestoMod]

[@prostockjohn1967]

Great interview, I'm from Chicgao and I didn't know the company started here. Shout out to Jimmy Dahl nice mention of him, great guy.

[@davidgough1161]

awesome episode, I like to hear from the industries most respected people. As an older guy, new to drag racing, it is refreshing to hear from good people. I come from circle track racing, That is the land of sketchy people. It is good to see racers cooperating. That is what I love about the Drag racing community in general.

[@lawhornracing6921]

I first heard about them a long time ago maybe 2005-2007 when maluburacing forum was big and they were a sponsor. First thing I bought from them around that time was solid g body body bushings

[@Scottschenkelracing]

Man right down the road from my house and never knew, I’d love to go work for a shop like them

[@the_hobby_cavethcracing444]

I just listened to the real tuners radio podcast with Mike on it driving back from the Carolinas this weekend lol! He sounded frustrated 😊 I'm willing to bet this one will be better Jason 🤘🏼

[@glennshotrodgarage5509]

[@tracykouns4903]

This is the BBB senior for sure

[@patrickblankenship5414]

Awesome podcast

[@ADOS31]

The clear coat/polished on welded deal rather than powdercoat has gone massive in recent years, heck even dmc that redid murdernovas o.g. chassis was left raw/clearcoat

[@ADOS31]

Love hearing the history and behind the scenes of different businesses/peoples race careers and how sometimes people from completely different backgrounds have come together through racing.

[@Wilkwayadventures]

Is it just me or is the audio super weird on this episode? Did something change with the microphones?

[@TinSoldierRacecars]

We had a technical issue but still wanted to release the episode. Decided to work with the audio we had from the cameras.

[@user-dt6xf2jd6l]
