Two Guys Garage Podcast

Ron Davis of Ron Davis Racing Products joins Kevin and Willie to celebrate 50 years of radiator evolution, from a $5,000 credit union loan to cooling the world’s most elite race teams. Drawing on decades of experience including NASCAR pits and the brutal world of Trophy Trucks, Ron explains application specific builds, the efficiency of straight-blade fans, and how custom-engineered shrouds with "road-race flaps" keep 1200HP monsters cool in the most extreme environments. Learn why thermal management is a "series of mistakes and learning curves" and how to properly spec a radiator system so you can finally stop chasing the steam and start chasing the finish line.

Sterling Backus, the man who's made a name for himself 3D printing a Lamborghini, is back with an update on his remarkable story of success and failure. Having already done the impossible, Sterling discusses his latest project – 3D printing a McLaren! “I bought the worst excuse for a McLaren 600 LT in the United States that came with a certificate of destruction because it was so bad," he tells the guys. Nonetheless, “the carbon fiber tub was in amazingly good condition, so we were able to fix [it] and put a new A-pillar in and then the race was on!" You’ve got to hear it to believe this amazing story of a man that's changing the 3D printing game, right out of his home garage.

Keegan Sobilo is a young up-and-coming race car driver who runs for a cause: pediatric cancer. Keegan started racing Mini-Cups at age 8 and now, at only 16 years old, he has in Willie’s words, “accomplished more than most of us would-be weekend warriors." The Pro Late Model driver already has 11 starts under his belt, notching three top 10 finishes. He finished 5th in the CRA All Stars Tour points and 3rd in the CRA All Stars Tour Rookie of the Year Standings, proving that Keegan is someone to watch – and listen to – in the world of racing.
