Erica Enders in studio

Well race fans the Thunder Road Show is off to a fabulous new year. We came out of the hole strong last Sunday with Leslie Porterfield of High Five Cycles in Dallas, Texas and this Sunday we had world famous NHRA Prostock driver Erica Enders in Studio.

Not only have we had two great "Driving Diva" segments so far we also had our first female caller named Paula who had a great question for Erica. Erica did a great job with us and spent the whole show chatting with us about the upcoming season and about the Disney movie made about her called "Right on Track" that originally aired in 2003.

You can hear the whole interview on the podcast just click on the checkerd flag that says "podcast" on it in the upper right corner of this blog. Thanks again to Erica for coming on the show with us and Paula (first female caller) for the great call.

Erica Enders set to be on the show Sunday 1/11/09

It was announced that Erica Enders would compete full time in the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series behind the wheel of Jim and Gloria Cunningham's Mastercam Ford Mustang Pro Stocker.

Erica had a movie made about her and sister Courtney called "Right on Track." Beverley Mitchell (7th Heaven) stars as Erica Enders. This was a Disney original movie made about Erica's career in NHRA's JR. Dragster division and originally aired in March of 2003.

Doug and Blue are looking foward to visiting with Erica this Sunday and talking about the upcoming 2009 race season.

Leslie Porterfield on The Thunder Road Show 01/04/09

Just about everyone has found an open stretch of highway with nobody in site and sped up a little.

Some of us have even floored it trying to push the limits of our own fear of speed.

For Leslie Porterfield top end blasts are second nature. Kind of like walking or driving a stick shift car.

Leslie, pictured on the left with Jason Britton of Speed Channels popular show "Super Bikes", holds 3 land speed records on a motorcyle.

Last August Leslie set a record of 209 mph in the 1300cc motorcyle division along with 2 other landspeed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Leslie a native Texan who lives and works in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area runs a motorcycle shop called High Five Cycles for a living and resets records for fun.

Don't forget to listen in Sunday as Leslie will tell Doug and Blue what its like blow up an engine at 245 mph on the salt flats.

Thunder Road Show "maverick" mascott

The Thunder Road Show now has a project car. During the race season in '09 we will take this car to various drag strips, car shows and remote events around the Houston area.

This is a 1970 Ford Maverick with a 306 cubic inch Ford engine.

The "mascott maverick" has a race built transmission and a small dose of N2O so it will be fun.

This car has a 6 point role bar and slicks. We don't plan on setting any records with this car but we do plan on taking a few select people (ie other shows host's and interns) for a ride. We will keep everyone updated with appearance dates so you can come by and watch us make a pass down the track or just say hi.

"Big" Ben Frazier will be in studio this Sunday 12/7

Tomball's own "Big" Ben Frazier is scheduled to come into the studio this Sunday fresh off his COTT "cheap street" win last weekend. Ben has been around drag racing and mustangs for many years. He built this car pictured after having his Saleen convertable folded up in an incedent with another car at the race track. Ben has competed in Fun Ford Weekend events, Pinks All Out, Clash of the Titans events and other local racing events with his 88mm turbo charged mustang coupe. We will talk to Ben about his wins this past season and what his plans are for next year.
