Chatting with Tony Thacker at Speed Week 2023 on the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast

Tony Thacker is our guest on this episode of the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast, in an interview recorded on a windy night in Wendover, Utah at the 2023 SCTA Bonneville Speed Week.    Tony is living his hot rod dream, from driving hot rods flat-out to covering events and races all over the world for TorqTalk, Hot Rod Magazine, and others.   He’s been a friend to us and the sport for decades, and it was fun to catch up with him and chat for a few in the Nugget Casino parking lot car show.

Flying Blind With Dan Parker, the World's Fastest Blind Man on the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast

Dan Parker is not the kind of guy who sits around waiting for cool stuff to happen to him.   A lifelong racer and machinist, Dan’s racing days could have been cut short after a tragic drag racing crash deprived him of his sight.   But that’s not the story Dan wanted to write, so he devised a way to continue racing – on both motorcycles and in cars – and is now the fastest blind man alive.    Hear the whole story on this episode of the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast!

Life Under Pressure with Gale Banks on the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast

Gale Banks is no stranger to speeding across the dust of El Mirage and the Bonneville Salt Flats.  He’s been pushing the limits on land speed cars since the late 1950s, campaigning at least 13 land speed cars and trucks and racking up dozens of records in the process.    In this special episode of the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast, Banks shares time and stories with Kevin Oeste about how land speed racing, and turbocharging, have changed his life.
