Show Notes
Matt and John talk about the electrification of drag racing, including a close look at Ford's battery-powered Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype. The wild pony packs over 1,400 HP and promises quarter-mile times in the eight-second range at 170 MPH. Then, the guys transition from fast Fords to field fiends, learning more about Mecum's Gone Farmin' tractor division, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Paul Demchenko, a Gone Farmin' Consignment Agent, calls in to share how he got started with the company and some breaking news about a new home for the events, as well as to offer some insight into the world of muscle tractors. In the show's final segment, Matt and John take on their Ten Grand Challenge, finding budget-buys that are heavy on fun but easy on the wallet. Matt brings a quirky Bricklin SV-1 to the table while John goes for the tried and true fourth-generation Corvette.
