The Nitty Gritty:

Welcome to Episode 75 of  the Pro-Touring.com Podcast!

We’re simul-posting the show show here on TheMuscleCarPlace.com as well as on Pro-Touring.com so everyone can get their fix.

For those new to the scene, the Pro-Touring.com podcast show is hosted by myself and Larry Callahan, the owner of Pro-Touring.com.

The show is sponsored by the fantastic hot rod wiring supply company, Ron Francis Wiring, and we’re very appreciative that they were our FIRST EVER show sponsor, and the first sponsor to re-sign for 2014!

The Great Jeff Smith!

In this episode of the podcast show Larry and I had a chance to bring on Jeff Smith, the famous tech editor from Car Craft and Hot Rod Magazine fame. Jeff ended up on the outside during the last shakeup at Source Interlink, but he landed on his feet and is now doing very well as a writer for Power and Performance News.

Since he made a HUGE name for himself with his in depth tech and editorial articles (i.e. he’s never at a loss for words), we thought it would be fun to bring him on the show to pick his brain about a few of the tech and cultural things he’s seen in his years covering Pro-Touring. We asked him to give us his opinion on everything that is right – and wrong – with the movement.

Truth be told though, he was literally at the dawn of the movement and was the first person Mark Stielow ran the phrase by for his opinion. As we learned during the interview, the PT movement took a long time to gain real traction (pardon the pun), and was something he spent years keeping in the magazines in the early days because he knew the great future it had.

You’ll like this one. Thanks for the interview, Jeff!

-Rob & Larry
p.s. As a complete aside, I learned during this interview that both Jeff and I are Iowa State grads!
