We hope you enjoy this special presentation of the @WestOfTulsa Show. On June 8th, 2024, We invited 11 hot rod legends to join us for a lively panel discussion about the early days of racing before a live audience at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. They talked about how they got into racing and told story after story about the early days of hot rodding. You'll hear stories being told for the first time publicly. We also talk about breaking speed records at #Bonneville Salt Flats. We wanted to document these stories for future generations. Before we get to the live audience portion of the show, C.J., Gabe and Dan provide some background into what happened behind the scenes that night and some of the highlights from this very special evening.
