Saturday Nitro featuring Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen
Our final show for 2008 featured legendary NHRA Drag Race Hall of Fame driver Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen. And if having an amazing guest like The Mongoose on the show wasn’t cool enough, we were able to have “The voice of NHRA Drag Racing,” McClelland fill in the hosting duties while I was away for the holidays.
Occasionally its a challenge coordinating schedules across various time zones. This show was one of those times, but Dave did a stellar job filling the show with great commentary as well as spontaneous interviews with DiecastSpace.com CEO, CJ Cramer and our own Saturday Nitro Producer, Shane Whittenbarger who talked in great detail about the new changes for the 2009 Super Convention as well as the 1st Annual Diecast Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The show really launched into orbit once Tom McEwan came on the line. Both Dave and Tom ran thru a wide variety of topics that spanned their careers which made for a truly spectacular show. If you’re not a Drag Racing nut, you’ll certainly be one after listening to this show!
Special thanks to American Collector’s Insurance for sponsoring the show!
