This episode is a fun conversation with Bart Hockerman, better known as, “Bart from Pegasus” and James Oliver of OBP Pedals at the Performance Racing Industry Show. We talked about their roles in car culture, their jobs, travels, and car trips. But mostly it’s just a fun conversation about cars and all the ridiculous stuff we’ve seen and done over the years. Also, OPB just released its controversial, but awesome, hand brake called “The Fun Stick.” So there’s a bunch of childish jokes and fun in the episode.

Bryon Dorr caught the outdoor adventure addiction through whitewater kayaking, and worldwide adventures to remote places ensued. He crafted his own professional path as a photographer, journalist and marketing consultant in the automotive and outdoor industries, while full time overland traveling for nearly 8 years.

Build Race Party - Greg Salzillo: Winner Of The Hot Wheels Legends Tour
play

12/30/19 • 80 min

Greg Salzillo won the 2019 Hot Wheels Legends Tour with a 1957 Nash Metropolitan built by himself and his friend Dave Ford. The car is very custom yet maintains much of the old patina as well and now its being turned into an actual Hot Wheels car!
Greg and I talked at The Performance Racing Show about how he got into cars and why he built the Nash. We learned about the Hot Wheels Legends Tour and how he nearly lost the Nash before winning winning the El Segundo round of the tour and moving onto SEMA where he took first overall. We talked about hot rod and rat rod culture and what it takes to build your own custom vehicle. We also talked about where he gets his ideas and concepts from: “The metal kind of talks to you”
Greg also told us about his shop (and the fields of lavender) where he and Dave Ford build their cars like the 1933 Green Truck and the Model A that came before the Nash. Greg has built a lot of cars, but so far it’s been for fun and to inspire his kids to grow up and do the same. Now that his car is being turned into a Hot Wheels, he’ll get the chance to inspire even more kids.
