When is wearing a mask cool? Wearing a mask or not during these “pandemic” times. In the car community, there seem to be those that believe in wearing masks and those that don’t, and then there are those that just don’t care.

Season 4 of Iron Resurrection saw many changes for builds and personnel. We will be asking Joe and Amanda about those changes and how they felt it went. Do they feel having a project going two episodes worked better for the team. Plus, we heard that production of season 5 has been delayed due to COVID. How does that affect the shop and the staff?

Mark Taylor - One of the busiest musicians around. He currently is with The Flatheads Band and the new Whiskey Angel Band – each with uniquely different playlist.

Keith Haddock with UK’s Khameleon Custom and Jan Schmidt with Lannon’s Cars On Main Show talk to us about car life in times of Covid

Shows happening, shows not happening, Drag race last weekend report, Models and how to help Iola - a good chat from the Covid confines of Wisconsin Hot Rod Radio

Legislative Alert: Tell Dane County, Wisconsin to allow more fans at racing events. SAN – SEMA Action Network.  Saying hi to all our friends around the globe. More stuff came in for our swap section including the Dennis Worthy Collection

Let's talk about car show scheduling and how to weed out gossip, rumors and fake news.

John Ewert from the Road America race track talks with us about Road America being much more than a race track - national events, driving schools, cruises (where you can take your car on the track) and more!

We will have two guest on the show. Brad Jancaric from Brew City Gassers and Joe Oppermen, Director of Iola Car Show and Swap.

RING BROTHERS - We are checking in with Wisconsin’s own award-winning builder and automobile products manufacturer. What have they been up to? How is their product division doing with all these “stay at home” quarantine orders?  Are they planning any new builds for the 2020 SEMA show and how are they handling the stress of topping last year’s Builder of the Year award?   CHRIS SLACK - Chris Slack is the Parts Manager at Ivan Gandrud Chevrolet in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. Having the title of parts manager seems a little understated. He’s more like a businessman clothed in a parts uniform. With his guidance, the GM Parts Department is regarded as one of the best in the country. 

Captn’ Bob and Arlo are going to turn back the dial with great interviews and the music you all have been asking for.

Two very popular guests: Stacey David from the long running GEARZ TV show and Bob Bennett who is owner and operator of Bennett Coachworks.

We have two guests on the show talking about how COVID-19 will impact their shows.  Joe Opperman, the Executive Director for Iola Car Show and Swap Meet - and - Kenny Dukows, the President of the Wisconsin Street Rod Association WSRA.

Joining us on the show will be Justin Ashley who is currently one of the youngest drivers competing in NHRA’s premier Top Fuel Dragster category.

Katie Blazei owns and operates the B-Lazy Diner in Wind Lake, Wisconsin. Several years ago Katie took ownership of this little cafe. Its location is tucked into a small community of fishing boats, bike cycle trails and, (wait for it) classic cars.

Our first guest Gregg Knapp went down under to Australia on what he thought was just a nice trip with friends. We know Gregg from his years in the Wisconsin Street Rod Association and the national Street Rod Association. He is one of the inspectors that go through street rods hoping to make them road worthy. He will be giving us a report on an unusual way Aussies host a car show.  Our second guest is no stranger to the drag racing world. Randy Henning is the co-owner and operator of Great Lakes Dragaway located in Union Grove, WI. We wanted to check on to see how this Corona Virus is impacting his track. We like to think that Randy and his partner Maurice are historic keepers of the track.
