Short Track Oval Racing, Southern Style with the Revved Up Sports Show! The new Toyota Sequoia C...
Short track oval racing is a form of motorsport that takes place on oval-shaped tracks typically less than one mile in length. Unlike other forms of racing, short track oval racing creates an emphasis on driver skill and strategy over outright speed due to the track layout. Short track oval racing is also known for its grassroots nature, with local tracks and regional series creating an unofficial farm league the is playing a role in the growth of the sport. So there is a long history, even though it is regional in nature with local champions and even local 'announcers' that become part of the show.

'REAL' EV maintenance and some very real maintenance safety issues that don't make the headlines!
Reading the headlines, it is very easy to think that an EV - Electric Vehicles - doesn't have the same maintenance issues or schedules that an internal combustion engine vehicle has. That is somewhat true, however, due to the very nature of being 'electric', the EV has some very different maintenance concerns that still include cooling systems, fluids, and some very special safety tools that are required by a truly certified EV tech. Joining us is the Senior VP of Operations for Opus IVS, a support/training/knowledge data base organization who will share some eye opening aspects of maintaining an EV. Sure an EV is quiet and quick, but it is also heavier than the ICE vehicle equivalent so wear and tear is 'different' for starters. Join us to hear more from this aspect of EVs professionals that doesn't make the headlines.

AI meets RVing - the AdventureGenie is out of the bottle! A review of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x...
Camping and RVing has long been a family tradition. Many people started with the idea of simply getting away to nature. Back when the family truckster was a station wagon, folding the seats down and sleeping there was an easy start. From there, an upgrade to a tent and the associated gear to eat and sleep in nature came into play. For many of us, roughing it is a cheap motel, but for others, a luxury RV is the only way to go. Some people even go to the point of living in their RV, traveling around this big country of ours. It is always a challenge to find the next stop, the next campground or sight to see. Books, maps, even a big road atlas became to tools to find tomorrow. Technology is our friend...sometimes. Scott Lengel, CEO of AdventureGenie joins us with an example of how technology is not only our friend, but might just become an important part of 'living' in an RV. Join us to hear more about this fascinating development and learn what it might mean for your next RV e…

Looking for some help 'towing'? GM may have a new 'dolly'...
Towing down the highway is not so bad, making turns with a trailer can be interesting, but again, not so bad. But let's talk about boat ramps, or maybe an RV park where backing comes into play ... and play it seems to be for some people. GM may have a new 'dolly' that can help with those times when some extra skills are needed, or maybe just needing a little rust kicked off the trailer hitch. Jeff Dziekan shares what he found about the GM Tow Dolly. ---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time Car Talk any time? In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!
