Fantasy Racing Junk Shopping Spree In Everyone Racers Episode 427, the crew dives into a hilarious and surprisingly insightful fantasy garage challenge, hunting through RacingJunk listings and obscure automotive corners of the internet to find the most ridiculous, brilliant, and questionable race cars we’d buy if logic and budgets didn’t exist. Join us as Chris Startles a Manatee with his Jensen, Tim never needs a windshield, Chrissy gets another Mazda Bongo Friendee and apparently Mental is bored at work  Because it’s Episode 427, we kick things off with a tribute to the legendary 427 big block era—the mysterious NASCAR “Mystery Motor,” the brutal torque monsters of the 1960s, and the engines that helped shape American racing culture. From there… things get weird. Expect: • Wild fantasy race car picks • Questionable decisions from the internet’s finest classifieds • Vintage oddities and unexpected race builds • A 1970 Mercedes SL that might be the most sophisticated bad decision ever • Maserati dreams and paddock-level logic • Plenty of paddock humor, bad financial advice, and bench-racing chaos Whether you race ChampCar, Lemons, SCCA, NASA, track days, or grassroots endurance racing, this episode is for the drivers, mechanics, and garage builders who spend way too much time browsing race cars they absolutely do not need. If you’ve ever: • Scrolled RacingJunk at 1am • Imagined the perfect budget endurance race car build • Debated ridiculous race car purchases with your friends • Or wondered what your dream amateur racing garage would look like… …this episode will feel very familiar. Welcome to the paddock. Join the Conversation Drop a comment and tell us: What would YOUR fantasy race car purchase be? Vintage racer? Budget endurance monster? Something completely unhinged?

Prep is EverythingWelcome to Everyone Racers Episode 426 — the full four-host chaos is back.This week is a true HOW TO episode:How to paint your own race car — and more importantly — how much prep it actually takes.Because here’s the truth:Painting isn’t the hard part.Prep is.We break down:🛠 The real cost of single-stage vs. base/clear🛠 What a “$70,000 paint job” actually pays for (hint: sanding. Endless sanding.)🛠 Why wet sanding between coats separates decent from show-quality🛠 How many hours you’re actually signing up for (25–40 hours over 3–5 days… plus cure time)🛠 The budget method that works for endurance racing🛠 Spray guns vs. rattle cans vs. rollers vs. duct tape🛠 Reducer, hardener, pearl powder — what matters and what doesn’t🛠 Why you probably don’t need to cut and polish a Lemons carWe talk about dusting coats, flash times, clearing with pearl for glow, and when it’s totally fine to say:“It’s a race car. Don’t care.”Because if you don’t want donuts down the side, don’t race it.There’s a reason pros spend tens of hours sanding, wet sanding, cutting, polishing, and curing.

Welcome to Everyone Racers episode 424, because grassroots racing is built on bad ideas, education about cheap tools, and learning the hard way. Endurance racing at the highest level is all carbon fiber, hybrid powertrains, and factory budgets… …and then there’s the rest of us. In this Alpine 424 episode, the crew kicks things off breaking down the new Alpine A424 hypercar—a purpose-built Le Mans prototype with cutting-edge aero, hybrid power, and real factory support—before immediately spiraling into what that means for the rest of us racing on duct tape budgets and questionable decisions. This episode dives into the gap between pro-level endurance racing and grassroots reality, and what amateur racers can actually learn (and what we absolutely cannot afford to copy). From paddock problem-solving and race prep decisions, to the stuff that breaks, the stuff that shouldn’t break but does anyway, and the stuff we absolutely should not have attempted ourselves… it’s all here. Kangaroos might be worse than Deer at the Track What amateur racers can actually learn from pro teams Why grassroots racers constantly try to “engineer their way out of problems” Race weekend prep, last-minute fixes, and paddock chaosHonest conversations about reliability, budgets, and the real cost of “doing it right” Or you could skip the hassle and buy a sweet C3 vintage Race Corvette from Racing Junk! Link below!The usual Everyone Racers mix of bench racing, bad ideas, and comedy If you’re an amateur racer, Lemons or ChampCar driver, HPDE addict, track day junkie, mechanic, or garage builder, this episode will feel painfully familiar.

Weldcome (see what we did there?) to Everyone Racers episode 423, hot like welding!   Tim is planning to burn himself  Chris prefers a tight puddle, Sloppy puddles need not apply.  Chrissy yells at a cat, again. Same cat. The cat doesn’t care, because…well, it’s a cat.   Amateur racing isn’t glamorous — and that’s exactly why this episode hits so hard. In this Everyone Racers Moskvich-423 Episode, the gang spirals from “should we buy a cheap welder?” into a brutally honest conversation about learning fabrication the hard way, blowing budgets in the garage, and why grassroots racers keep doing things the most difficult (and funniest) way possible. This episode covers what it’s really like to be an amateur racer trying to level up your skills without lighting your project — or your wallet — on fire. From debating entry-level vs. “probably good enough” welders, to the realities of teaching yourself fabrication in a cramped garage, to why racing forums both save and destroy projects, this one is painfully relatable if you’ve ever said “I can probably do that myself.” You’ll hear: The real cost of getting into welding and fabrication for racing Why cheap tools sometimes work… until they absolutely don’t The difference between good enough for the track and dangerous optimism Lessons learned from broken parts, bad advice, and late-night garage decisions Not t mention our racing news tangents, questionable logic, and the kind of bench-racing comedy that only happens when friends have known each other too long If you’re an amateur race car driver, weekend track rat, mechanic, Lemons/ChampCar/HPDE addict, or automotive enthusiast who laughs at mistakes because you’ve made the same ones — this episode is for you.

Stop Guessing: Tom Webb has Real Solutions for the New Rules Welcome to Everyone Racers #421! In this Poncho Super Duty Episode. Tim is travelling, so he’s not here. Chris gets a speeding ticket, Chrissy pays to share a natural tepid water tub with strangers, Mental whines about rental truck not being comfy enough, & Tom Webb only has one h &  & he still did more this month than you.  Really, it’s a full tech breakdown of the latest rule changes & real, practical solutions for what matters: lighting, visibility, tow straps, number illumination, reflectors. Not a summary of the rules, a working session on how to implement them & why common “solutions” are now failing or creating dangerous situations on track. All from a person who knows - Tom Webb.  The difference between focused vs. unfocused LEDs, why unfocused LED bars are not acceptable,  why taping, dimming, or aiming unfocused LEDs will not solve the problem How excessive or poorly aimed lighting reduces reaction time  & blinds other drivers How to correctly test headlight cutoff at home using the 25-foot / 40-inch method Why DOT-approved driving lights behave differently than fog or work lights Practical advice on color temperature, beam shape, & placement for night racing Number visibility solutions Why self-illuminated, battery-powered, or externally aimed number lights are now illegal Multiple legal ways to illuminate numbers, including: LED strip lighting Backlit panels Diffused light panels Interior-mounted solutions that protect numbers from contact Pros  & cons of each method; cost, durability, visibility & ease of installation. Why some solutions look bright in the paddock but disappear on track Tow straps  & recovery Why tow straps replaced tow hooks How they should be mounted to avoid loading bolts in tension Why they are safer  Common mounting mistakes that still fail tech Reflectors  & passive visibility DOT reflective tape requirements Where reflectors must be placed  & why corner visibility matters How it improves safety when cars lose power or lighting What not to do Why battery-powered lights, magnetic work lights & taped-over LEDs fail Why “cheap” doesn’t mean unsafe, but incorrect does Real examples of dangerous situations due to poor lighting choices A discussion grounded in real tech inspections, real night-race incidents & feedback from race officials & corner workers. Not aesthetics or overbuilding, but being seen, passing tech & keeping everyone safe.   Amish Communities embracing E-Bikers (Justin Hughes @ Jalopnik) https://www.jalopnik.com/2077068/amish-communities-are-embracing-e-bikes/ Airbag Theft on the Rise (Motorweek) https://motorweek.org/this-just-in/airbag-thefts-are-still-a-thing-and-hondas-remain-a-popular-target/ Tupac’s Restored murder BMW for sale…again… (Simran Rastogi @ Autoblog) https://www.autoblog.com/news/why-tupacs-bmw-is-still-for-sale-and-no-one-will-buy-it Platinum Wedding Ring for only $1,600 on Racing Junk https://www.racingjunk.com/jewelry/184765876/gentleman-s-platinum-wedding-band.html Get in touch with John Pagel - Tech Boss here: [email protected] Or even here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D9iex667J/ TOW STRAP LINKS Crash bar wrap around 5500lb https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/bridgemoto-crash-bar-wrap-around-tow-strap.html Sparco 6600 lb Tow Strap https://www.sparcousa.com/towing Those cool light number panels from Amazon https://a.co/d/9wDuvek How to Make yours cheap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=migIrDTJ6II Chris Blizzard Lighting Guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0Wk6fGSO2G7y3fDUMeBcsJ58XCZF6w0E77wXuqNrV8/mobilebasic?fbclid=IwY2xjawKaAtVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFjTmRidmN2bWFreVpWTVJMAR4qfvXupatPN52a6j2I2NhnvvfyNGFdmVcIZs37A3fWaYkKm-is8vJxOedoWw_aem_U2NDwxufdWEd0Pn-9DU3Hw ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPrTs8wdzydOqbpWZ_y-xEA ⁠  - Our YouTube
