Granbury doesn’t just “host” events, it builds a home for them. Recording live from Hewlett Park during the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run, we talk with Tammy Dooley from Visit Granbury about what it really takes to make a car weekend feel legendary for participants and profitable for local businesses.

Tammy walks us through how Granbury earned its official identity as the Celebration Capital of Texas, including the community process and the Texas legislative steps it took to claim a moniker that fits year-round. If you care about destination marketing, place branding, or event tourism, you’ll hear why a clear identity helps everyone, from organizers and restaurants to first-time visitors looking for their next weekend trip.

Then we get practical for car clubs and promoters who want to grow: how to find a city that truly wants your event, how to work with a convention and visitors bureau (CVB) or tourism department, and what “support” can look like beyond money, including park access, logistics help, hotel partnerships, advertising, swag, and protected dates. We also dig into Granbury’s weekly Rise and Grind meetup, a simple communications play that keeps locals informed and businesses engaged.

We close with the numbers behind the strategy, including tourism budget basics like hotel occupancy tax and how Granbury talks about ROI in a way residents understand.

Wiring is where a lot of classic car projects go to die: brittle insulation, mystery splices, random colors, and “temporary” fixes that turn into permanent hazards. From the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, we sit down with Dennis Overholster from Painless Performance Products, the company so many builders mention when they want a clean, reliable automotive wiring harness for a street rod, classic truck, or restoration.

Dennis breaks down what Painless actually does day to day, from using tens of millions of feet of wire each year to building harnesses by hand on layout boards for consistent routing and branch lengths. We get into the real craft of reverse engineering: bringing a vehicle into the shop, deconstructing the original harness, building prototypes, test-fitting, documenting every change, and then producing a kit that’s repeatable. If you’ve ever wondered why a good harness costs what it costs, the “it can take a year to get it right” explanation lands hard.

We also go practical with classic car electrical upgrades: six volt versus twelve volt systems, choosing wire gauge with headroom, and why a simple relay often fixes problems when modern accessories like air conditioning demand more current than the original circuit can safely deliver. And if you’re nervous about installation, you’ll love hearing about the full-color manuals and the phone support that helps first-timers avoid expensive mistakes.

If you enjoy smart car talk and want fewer electrical surprises, subscribe, share this with a friend who hates wiring, and leave us a review so more builders can find the show.

A famous last name can open doors, but it can’t turn a wrench for you. We’re live from the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, talking with Christi Edelbrock about the real work behind the Edelbrock legacy: foundries, manufacturing, learning parts and processes from the ground up, and stepping into tough spots when the business needs a fixer.

Christi walks us through how the 2008 to 2009 recession hit the automotive industry, why banks backed away from anything car-related, and how that kind of pressure forces hard decisions even for established performance brands. We also dig into what it means to represent a historic aftermarket name today, and why curiosity and hands-on learning still beat chasing clout. If you care about hot rodding history, Edelbrock performance parts, intake manifolds, dyno culture, and the people who shaped American racing, this conversation delivers the human side of that story.

The second half widens out into big-picture car culture: trade careers and automotive education, why shop class still matters, and a candid take on social media toxicity. Christi also shares how charity car shows, silent auctions, and community partnerships raised serious money for local programs supporting complex-challenged kids. Plus we hit quick automotive news, including a Cadillac Formula One update involving Colton Herta and talk of Mitsubishi jumping into the midsize pickup space with a Nissan-sourced truck.

Subscribe for more real-deal car talk, share this with a friend who loves the aftermarket world, and leave us a review with your favorite memory of learning something the hard way in the garage.
