from Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns · host Hank Watson's Garage Hour

Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and regular liveregulator Ryan the BMW Guy were roaming backwoods 'Springs and happened upon the compound of PPIHC Open Class contenders Jim and Jimmy Ford. These guys are so serious about homebuilt, homedriven all-comers competition in the most famous hillclimb in the world they didn't even waste time on new names. ...And lurking in the the Ford Garage Bar is one very evolved, poked and stroked Roush-Yates Windsor-powered Trans-Am TA-1 car (and all the stories that power it). ...This episode was so good we had to skip a few. (Don't worry, they're comin' up next.) Thanking their sponsors with every breath they had, Jim and Jimmy (and Hero too) wanted to mention Hoosier, Shoup and Scooter's, Jesel, Newcomer, Iron Wolf, Driven and G-Force (plus everyone they didn't get to before we ran out of time). Because gearheads are people too: this episode's got Coors, loving your belts (and your welds), flying stewardesses, Smokey Yunick, the 9/10th Camaro and the vinyl-top Challenger, getting the right shoes, and some Excellent Weirdo R.I.P.s for Ozzy Osbourne, Chef Jeff and Chuck Norris (the knife died before he did).
