In this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste veer off the beaten path in many ways. From the standard overselling adjective to a discussion of the Shelby Series 1, Tesla powered Hot Rods, and on to learning from Rush drummer Neil Peart and basketball legend Michael Jordan, this episode digs into what it takes to be the best you can possibly be. Different from a car show, but a worthy topic for sure. Plus, we reveal a bit about a new live show we’re producing from the 2018 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals! Of course, there’s automotive trivia, a few laughs, and more… all on V8 Radio! *Note… this one used a lower-quality sound recording technology, so it does not sound as good as the typical V8 Radio episode. Our apologies.
On this episode of V8 Radio, get ready for an update on Mike’s 1967 Pontiac GTO engine build! We know, right? It’s coming together piece by piece. Mike is also going to be attending the SEMA show for his first time this year! Then, Mike and Kevin recap the 4th annual V8TV Drive In Cruise event, where a huge car show meets the Drive In! This year, the featured film was Cannonball Run, and nearly 400 cars were in attendance. Too cool. Mike and Kevin also chat about some of the inner workings of the V8TVshow.com photo galleries and how that whole process works. Of course, there’s some automotive trivia and a few laughs, and you’ve got the latest V8 Radio!
Mike Clarke’s 1967 Pontiac GTO engine is making progress, and Mike brings us the update on this episode. Mike and Kevin also chat about the Optmist Club Car Show that Kevin runs, as well as a tech tidbit on running the right steering pump with a hydraulic brake booster. They have all this plus a trivia question AND a 2 year anniversary! It can’t get much better than V8 Radio!

We all rely on electronic fuel injection systems for reliable performance today, but would you believe that the Shelby team was experimenting with the technology back in 1968? Pete Disher brought out this unbelievably rare 1968 Shelby GT500 engineering test vehicle that was equipped with a 428 Cobra Jet engine (rather than the 428 Police Interceptor as standard) and a Conelec Electronic Fuel Injection system as well. It’s an amazing piece of history that was on display at the 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois.

Congrats to our friend Al on another car show victory with his ’69 Chevelle! It seems every time he takes it out he brings home some kind of award. This time, it was scoring 994/1000 in the Street Stock / Modified Gold class at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago! He’s also taken First Place at The Hill Car Show in St. Louis, People’s Choice at the Waterloo Optimist Club Car Show in IL, and many other Best Paint, First In Class, and People’s Choice Awards at shows all around. Way to go Al, your Chevelle is one of the favorites we’ve restored here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop!

The 2nd Annual V8TV Drive-In Cruise Event at the Belleville Sky-View Drive-In was a huge success, thanks to everyone who came out to see Bullitt on the big screen and enjoy the car show among friendly people with cool cars. There was a huge variety of cars on hand, including 1950s originals, Muscle Cars, classic and off-road trucks, dune buggies, street machines, pro-touring cars, traditional hot rods and kustoms, modern muscle cars, and much more. Special thanks to our generous sponsors who helped us present the event, and the V8 Speed & Resto Shop crew for doing the work!
Below you’ll find the photo gallery from the event shot by Rick Schutt.

The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is more than a car show, it celebrates all elements of the hobby including showcasing some of the best artists in the genre. We spoke with David Snyder about how he creates his automotive Americana artwork by hand, and how he recently helped raise over $100,000 for children's cancer research.
