3 Generations of Hot Rodding and Racing On The Central Coast

The @WestOfTulsa Team welcomes Rick Rojas and Steve Faist to the show this week. Both guys have a love of hot rods and tons of talent building them and racing them. Rick, for as young as he is, has a very strong connection to three generations of hot rodders. He talks more about that and how he's trying to re-create a race car his uncle-built years ago called Montezuma's Revenge. Steve Faist breaks down some of the old drag racing spots in Ventura County and how he escaped the cops one night many years ago. Plus, we all get honest about the worst and most embarrassing cars we've ever owned. Enjoy the show and please don't forget to like, follow and subscribe. We really appreciate the support.
