Chris Dyson, race car driver, two time IMSA Champion in the American Le Mans Series,  three time Trans Am Series National Champion, son of race car driver Rob Dyson,  and owner of Chris Dyson Racing joins Stewart Howden to talk about his career and other hot topics on The Classic Auto Mall Show.

He talks about the recent Trans Am race win at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca in California in his Number 16 Gymweed Ford Mustang where he fought the Menard’s number 3 Pittsburgh Paints Mustang. Chris started on the pole after Brent Crews had to bow out. The team placed first and second with Adam Andretti finishing 8 seconds behind Chris. Chris talks about the Laguna Seca Corkscrew and what it’s like to race around turn 8 and 8a and it’s dramatic change in elevation and what it’s like to drive down the hill and get traction and brake around the blind turns. 

Lime Rock is probably their biggest race of the year because it’s home for Chris and he has a lot of friends and family attend. Chris discusses his life as both a race team owner as well as a race car driver and what makes each great. He discusses racing with his Dad Rob and finishing first and second in a race and being on the same team in 12 Hours of Sebring and  24 hour races.

They review his current Trans Am Mustang, how it handles and the horsepower it puts out. It’s an FR9 based engine that has been used in NASCAR for many years and could put out over 900 horsepower, but because the Trans Am cars are rev-restricted they are limited to about 800 horsepower. Using NASCAR engines has allowed. Them to have plenty of inventory and parts for the engines.

Chris talks about bringing his kids to races and helping promote his sponsor GymWeed. Gymweed is an all natural energy drink that uses adaptogens and caffeine while being THC free. They also made Muscle Milk.

Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market Magazine joins Stewart for his weekly segment where we bring his blog to life. This week the topic is “Mr. Bright’s Wild Ride” which is about driving through the countryside in his friend’s Maserati 350S Convertible Replica that was built in Argentina and is powered by a 4.9 Liter Maserati four cam V8 with Weber carburetors.

Danny Thompson, race car driver, Motorsports Hall of Fame nominee, son of Mickey Thompson and one of only 12 people who have recorded a 400 mile per hour pass in a normally aspirated piston driven vehicle, which he accomplished in his father’s Challenger 2 car on the Salt Flats, joins Stewart on this week’s show.

Danny talks about his father racing at Bonneville, including in 1968 when he was driving for Ford and Mickey Thompson, Danny Ongais, Ray Brock and Bob Ottum were testing the new 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback. They sent 295 speed and endurance records including running for 24 hours with an average speed of 157 miles per hour. 

He discusses both Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 being on display at The Motorsports Hall of Fame in Daytona, Florida and how Challenger 2 is half as wide as Challenger 1. He discusses the rules of Bonneville and the differences in sizes of length and width in the cars. Danny talks about how slippery it is driving on the. Salt Flats at Bonneville and how it’s similar to driving in snow.  Danny and Stewart also discuss George Poteet holding the current land speed record for a piston driven car at 481 mph in his Speed Demon race car.

Danny Thompson discusses the Hemi V8 engine that powers the Challenger 2 and how it is very similar to a drag racing engine and runs on nitro methane. When they added 3 percent more Nitro they increased the power by about 600 horsepower. 

The discuss Don Garlits and his horrible accident where he lost a foot and led him building rear engine dragsters that were much safer. When Big Daddy crashed, Mickey Thompson helped carry him off the drag strip

Danny talks about racing in the Baja 1000 and how they laid out the track with stakes or paint a rock or tie a ribbon around a tree. Sometimes Mickey would be in a plane looking at the land from above and would radio down to Danny to tell him what to mark next.  

Keith talks about how nice it is to find car shows and events on social media and how easy it is for people to promote events and share the information. Or if he wants to know if an event is in the area, all he has to do is search the internet. He talks about going to a car show at a local high school and how it was in the midday, which was a great time for a car show.  They talk about what makes cars and coffee great, but you have to be there earl

Show #184 airdate 03-12-25 Stewart is joined by Steve Ahlgrim, Ferrari expert and Concours Judge discussing how to determine the right amount to pay for a Classic vehicle, his time with FAF Motorcars (Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Fiat) his favorite Concours locations and the "gas station story".   Plus, our Sports Car Market segment with publisher Keith Martin bringing his blog to life about "trickle charging and your HOA" and unveiling a SPECIAL offer!  @Ferrari @F1

Stewart and Steve discuss the amazing Chattanooga Motorcar Festival and the people and cars and location that make it such a great annual event. They discuss the incredible collection of Ferraris that come to the show every year with an average value of nearly $4 million dollars. They also discuss the rising values of Ferraris, including some that didn’t use to bring a lot of money.

Steve suggests that you always buy the best car you can because a project could end up costing more. If you can’t afford a nice one, then you really can’t afford a rough one. They also talk about Steve’s background and history working in the motorsports world – traveling around the world and being a judge at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.  

They discuss the market and trends in prices for Ferraris including the mass produced Ferrari SF90 Supercar that has been selling for $150,000 less than list price. The Ferrari 296 is also a topic for discussion and had a higher resale value than expected. Vintage car sales seem slow at this time and may not be real strong in the near future. A couple Mercedes-Benz Hammers recently sold by Gooding at Amelia for more than $600,000, but it was also well below the estimate going into the auction. Broad Arrow sold a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione for $9,465,000 at Amelia. 

Keith Martin, Publisher of Sports Car Market Magazine talks to Stewart about meeting fellow enthusiasts at Cars and Coffee events and gaining knowledge from them. He also talks about his Home Owner’s Association not allowing Battery Tenders to be used to keep car batteries charged because they are afraid they could cause a fire.

Keith talks about getting his cars out of the garage and driving them now that the weather is getting nice. Rather than use a Battery Tender he has chose to connect battery disconnect switches. This way there is nothing draining the battery when it sits over winter.

Keith offers a great deal for new subscribers to Sports Car Market where you can get 6 months for only $19.95!
