We're proud to say we've published 20 episodes on our Talkin' Shift Podcast, and we're happy to have Jim Neuenfeldt (AKA Parish) on to mark the milestone. Parish is a big time OG on the 1320video Youtube channel - going back 20 years. He was widely known in the midwest for his 10 second sleeper Silverado that had twin turbos before it was cool, and could gap nearly everything on the streets.

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Scott Woodruff from the IHRA to break down everything they’ve had going on lately — and it’s a lot. We talk about IHRA’s recent push into track ownership (including deals for multiple well-known facilities) and what that means for racers, fans, and the future of the sport. We also get into how IHRA has been expanding what they’re involved with, including the growth of their pro-level programming like the Outlaw Nitro Series, and how they’re trying to build a bigger pipeline that supports everything from big-show racing down to grassroots bracket programs.

For the first time ever, we took Talkin’ Shift on the road and set up shop at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Our guest is Victor Alvarez, co-owner of BMP (alongside Cleetus McFarland) and someone who’s been deeply involved in motorsports from a young age. We talk about Vic’s racing background, how he ended up buying a drag strip in his 20s, and what it’s really like owning and operating one of the most well-known tracks in the country. Of course, we also get into the Christmas Tree Drags — including some friendly debate about Vic “cheating” — and plenty of stories you don’t usually hear from the track owner’s side.

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Michelle Lackey, the owner and operator of Alaska’s only drag strip. If you’ve seen racing in Alaska, chances are it’s happening at her track. We talk about what it’s really like running a drag strip in Alaska — from the unreal mountain views to the short racing season, weather challenges, logistics, and how it all compares to tracks in the lower 48. Michelle breaks down what makes Alaska racing unique and what it takes to keep the scene alive that far north.

The crew is back in the studio after one of the wildest weekends of the year — Import vs Domestic: World Cup Finals. We break down everything from record-setting passes and personal bests to the wrecks, oil-downs, and chaos that kept the track crew busy all weekend.

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Billy the Kid — racer, YouTuber, and creator of Street Racing Channel. You’ve seen him in the streets, at the track, and most recently going viral for that wild wheelstand at SCT Nashville. We talk about what led up to that run, how Street Racing Channel came to life, and the grind it took to go from working for $12/hr to going full-time on YouTube. From growing up in the racing scene to competing against names like Ryan Mitchell and racing at the fastest small-tire events, Billy shares what it’s really like living life wide open.

We’re back with another wild episode of Talkin’ Shift! This time we’re joined by two familiar faces — Jared “JROD” Holt and Shawn Abedi — both known for bringing imports into the spotlight on Street Outlaws. We dive into what it was really like racing their high-horsepower imports against the Outlaws’ big-power domestics, swap stories from JROD’s King of the Offroad event, and talk street racing, TX2K, and everything in between.

JROD (Jarod Holt) joins us for Episode 013 of the Talkin’ Shift Podcast! You’ve seen him on the 1320video channel countless times behind the wheel of one of the fastest Supras in the world. From racing on Street Outlaws to competing at some of the biggest Texas events like TX2K and Texas Invitational, JROD has been a staple in the racing scene for years.

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Chris Fiffie, the creator of Big Rig Videos. Chris has built a massive following with his unique approach to telling stories from the trucking world, especially through his signature “Rolling CB Interviews” where he sits down with drivers and captures their perspective from the cab.

On this episode of Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Andrew Lynch — Australia’s reigning burnout champ who claimed the coveted Burnout Masters title at Summernats 36 in his LS-powered Corolla “LYNCHY.” After years of carving tire smoke on the burnout pad, he finally clinched the crown. We had a blast hearing his stories and learning what it takes to win the biggest burnout competition in the world.

The crew is back for Episode 010 of Talkin’ Shift! This week, we dive into Corvette’s new ZR1-X and debate which cars actually stack up as its competition. We even wander into unfamiliar territory for us—electric vehicles—as each of us picks the EV we’d actually buy (yeah, you read that right).

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we sit down with the one and only Larry Larson—a true OG in the drag racing world. If you’ve been following street car racing for any length of time, you already know the name. From becoming the first man to go 200mph on a drag-and-drive to going 11 for 11 in Drag & Drives, Larry has done what few even dream of. We’ve known Larry since the very first Hot Rod Drag Week in 2005, and he’s been pushing the limits ever since. We talk about his journey through the years, how things have changed, what it was like being featured on Discovery’s No Prep Kings, and what’s next for one of the baddest guys in the game.

The crew is back for another Talkin’ Shift episode! This time, we’re catching up on all the chaos—where we’ve been, where we’re heading next, and what’s been going down at the track. We also dive into some viral racing clips that have been lighting up the internet and give our take on what makes them blow up. But the big topic of the episode: Should 1320 finally build a project car? We throw out ideas on what platform we’d start with, what kind of powertrain it’d need, and what kind of racing we’d actually build it for. No Prep? Drag and Drive? Something weird?

In this episode of Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Chase Lautenbach—CEO of Street Car Takeover and Race Ready Autosport, and a name that’s been part of 1320Video since the early days. Chase is not only the original owner of the legendary 3DX Evo, but he also holds the title of being featured in more viral 1320 clips than anyone else. If you’ve followed 1320 for any amount of time, this episode is a trip down memory lane—and a look at how far the scene has come.

In this episode of Talkin’ Shift, we dive deep into a topic we get asked (and accused) about all the time — car giveaways. Are they legit? Are they rigged? Are we just scamming people? We’ve heard it all, and in this episode, we’re laying it all out: How our giveaways actually work, What goes on behind the scenes, Why we don’t rig anything - And how YOU could end up winning one. To prove it’s the real deal, we Zoomed in with 3 of our past winners to hear their stories — from the moment they found out they won to getting the keys in hand. If you’ve ever wondered how car giveaways really work, this is the episode for you.
