Danny talks about his father racing at Bonneville, including in 1968 when he was driving for Ford and Mickey Thompson, Danny Ongais, Ray Brock and Bob Ottum were testing the new 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback. They sent 295 speed and endurance records including running for 24 hours with an average speed of 157 miles per hour.

He discusses both Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 being on display at The Motorsports Hall of Fame in Daytona, Florida and how Challenger 2 is half as wide as Challenger 1. He discusses the rules of Bonneville and the differences in sizes of length and width in the cars. Danny talks about how slippery it is driving on the.

Danny and Stewart also discuss George Poteet holding the current land speed record for a piston driven car at 481 mph in his Speed Demon race car.

Danny Thompson discusses the Hemi V8 engine that powers the Challenger 2 and how it is very similar to a drag racing engine and runs on nitro methane. When they added 3 percent more Nitro they increased the power by about 600 horsepower.

The discuss Don Garlits and his horrible accident where he lost a foot and led him building rear engine dragsters that were much safer. When Big Daddy crashed, Mickey Thompson helped carry him off the drag strip

Danny talks about racing in the Baja 1000 and how they laid out the track with stakes or paint a rock or tie a ribbon around a tree. Sometimes Mickey would be in a plane looking at the land from above and would radio down to Danny to tell him what to mark next.

Keith talks about how nice it is to find car shows and events on social media and how easy it is for people to promote events and share the information. Or if he wants to know if an event is in the area, all he has to do is search the internet. He talks about going to a car show at a local high school and how it was in the midday, which was a great time for a car show. They talk about what makes cars and coffee great, but you have to be there earl
