In Wheel Time Car Talk

Discover the heartache and urgency behind the disappearing landmarks of racing culture as we sit down with Richard Tomlin from Apex Auto Works. We unpack the closure of iconic racetracks and how it's not just about losing a strip of pavement, but a slice of heritage that fuels our community. From the Auto Club Speedway to Laguna Seca, join us in reflecting on the importance of these hallowed grounds and learn why their preservation is critical amidst the relentless wave of development. We'll also share the warm nostalgia of the Corvette Chevy Expo and the anticipation surrounding the Mecum Auction Houston  showstoppers, underscoring the vibrancy of the car enthusiast world.

Feel the adrenaline of road racing and the innovation sparking new life into spectator experiences as Richard lends his expertise on the subject. In this heartfelt exchange, we journey from the meticulous preparations for the Chihuahua open road race to discussing the challenges the auto industry faces with the advent of electric vehicles. We're revving up our engines and peeling back the curtain on the transformations at his shop, from a Cushman three wheel scooter turned floral display to fine-tuning a Black C5 Corvette. Tune in for a ride that promises to not only fuel your passion but also ignite a drive to protect the legacy of the racing community.
