In the inaugural episode of America’s Automotive Trusts’ podcast, we delve into the exciting world of the XCup division of The Great Race, a fierce competition in classic cars of endurance, precision, and accuracy that covers thousands of miles. The XCup is composed of highschool and college age students who compete for scholarships. But the race is so much more than that. The XCup along with the RMP Foundation have laid a foundation to educate, support, and encourage youth participation in automotive professions.

This year’s race started in St. Augustine, Florida and finished in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event is inspired by the original, around the world, automobile race in 1908.

Fuel for the Future - 1908 New York to Paris Race

1908 New York to Paris Race

Fuel for the Future

08/29/23 • 56 min

In addition to our first episode about the 2023 Great Race, we dive deep into the sensational 1908 Great Race which featured six cars racing around the world from New York to Paris. Our guest is Jeff Mahl whose great-grandfather, George Schuster, won the event while driving a 1907 Thomas Flyer. The race was full of adventure, drama, fighting, cheating, scandals, bandits, and more. Most of the world hadn’t seen an automobile, there were very few paved roads, and some car manufacturers thought the competition was insane.

The race has inspired the modern version of The Great Race, movies, and documentaries. Today the Thomas Flyer is in the National Historic Vehicle Register, still drives, and resides at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. George Schuster is in the Automotive Hall of Fame.

Fuel for the Future - The Meyers Manx Electric Evolution
play

09/12/23 • 40 min

The original dune buggy is the often copied but never outdone, iconic Meyers Manx. Created in 1964 by engineer, artist, and boat builder Bruce Meyers, the Manx helped define 1960s California culture. Built upon a shortened VW Beetle chassis, and seen in hit Hollywood movies, it’s commonly forgotten that the Manx is also steeped in racing heritage having beaten the speed record at the Baja 1000 in 1967. Today, Meyers Manx is back. Joined today by renowned designer Freeman Thomas who is the current CEO of Meyers Manx, we discuss the company and the Manx 2.0. An all new Electric Vehicle which is making a stir within the industry and fans of the classic car.
