1 year ago, I happened to record a rare conversation between three Drag Racing Legends. This fly on the wall recording features: Gary Watson (Texas Wheelstand King), Randy Curtis (Fugitive Corvette), and Carl Magee (Flying Red Baron). In the late 1960's through 1970's these three drivers built and raced high powered exhibition wheelstanders. These crowd favorites would routinely run side by side quarter mile passes on two wheels, showering sparks, and entertaining thousands with ...
I really enjoyed this interview. In the late 1950's, early 1960's, a rare breed of automotive hot rodders were born. One of the greatest of these is a man named Gary Watson. Gary raced A-Fuel dragsters back in the 1960's and ultimately went on to build and innovate exhibition race cars call "Wheel standers." These were high power race cars designed to entertain drag racing fans with 1/4-mile wheel stands. Have you even run your car up to 120 mph? Reme...

“What I tried to make clear in Good Calories, Bad Calories was that nutrition and obesity research lost its way after the Second World War with the evaporation of the European community of scientists and physicians that did pioneering work in those disciplines. It has since resisted all attempts to correct it. As a result, the individuals involved in this research have not only wasted decades of time, and effort, and money but have done incalculable damage along the way. Their beliefs have re...
