CKiW iRADIO 76 SPECIAL "THE 5:15 SHOW" WITH JIM GILSON, BILL ARCHER AND NICK JANOWIAK FROM UBLY DRAGWAY

You lucky listener! What started as an interview with Great Lakes Gassers members Jim Gilson and Bill Archer between rounds up in the tower of the Ubly dragway, turns into a free wheeling session when Nick Janowiak comes in. You get to sit in as a member of our broadcast team as you get to hear Nick call a few rounds of Great Lakes Gassers cars from the tower, and a lot of behind-the-scenes banter that normally doesn't get aired. It shows how much fun is had when the Great Lakes Gassers invade Ubly dragway!

THE CKiW iRADIO 76's "THE 5:15 SHOW" WITH SUE CHRISTOPHERSEN of the SUZIE Q FUNNY CAR

We noticed at 5 foot 2 inch, it would be hard to put her full last name on a baseball jersey, thankfully she chose drag racing instead. It is always a pleasure to welcome back the woman that any speed past 150mph is a walk in the park for, Sue Christophersen of the Suzie Q nostalgia funny car. We had to get her back as last time she was on "The 5:15", we just got done with her first half of her racing career and today Sue talks about racing her rear engine dragster, how she got started in nostalgia funny cars, how they picked the '57 Chevy body style, the wild ride piloting a funny car, how it is like to be racing with others in the nostalgia funny car circle, interacting with her fans, the importance of putting on a good show, all this and so much more! Sue is really a delight to have on with us and is welcomed back any time she wants...

We always look forward to having Tim Timoszyk of the Great Lake Gassers (GLG) on "The 5:15 Show" with us again any time he can join us. Today on an abbreviated "5:15", Tim talks about the GLG, his thoughts about putting on a great show, how he enjoys interacting with the fans and their reactions, what the GLG will be doing at the Nostalgia Nationals at Milan Dragway 9/26 & 27 and so much more!

THE CKiW iRADIO 76 "THE 5:15 SHOW" WITH STEVE TIMOSZYK of the DETROIT TIGER FUNNY CAR

We are not sure what runs faster, Steve Timoszyk or his Detroit Tiger Nostalgia Funny Car. A highly interesting man that wears many hats, we got a chance to have Steve pull the chute for a few minutes to talk with us about how he started in racing, how his extended family helps out with his racing career, his work at Milan Dragway, his driving style, all things nostalgia funny car class, the big Nostalgia Nationals show at Milan and so much more. We find Mr. Timoszyk one of those refreshing gents that we love to work with. Got a question, he will get you an answer immediately. A problem solver extraordinaire -yet charismatic- as we think you will find as you listen this podcast.

THE CKiW iRADIO 76 "THE 5:15 SHOW" WITH AL THOMAS OF NEDRA

When we say this guy can see the future, we mean it! Al Thomas never fails to captivate our audience with his knowledge of what is just over the horizon when it comes to all things about electric cars and racers. Mr. Thomas talks from both and ICE and electric engine background so not to alienate any listener who wants to  understand more about the exciting frontier of electric car drag racing. We can't get enough of this guy. He will be back with us...

THE CKiW iRADIO 76 "THE 5:15 SHOW " WITH SUE CHRISTOPHERSEN

Ok, feel like getting married? Check. Feel like going full throttle on your honeymoon? Sure. Feel like becoming a World's Record Holder at Bonneville? Can do. How about moving on to driving a '57 Chevy Funny Car around the states to up the stakes? Box checked. The more that we talked to our guest Sue Christophersen today, the more doors that we found that we had to open. Every one of her stories launches three more stories, one better than the last. What a fascinating life this woman has had in racing and she shares some of those with us here today. We ran out of time before we could get to her time running the "Susie Q" funny car, so we booked her right away to have her back on with us. What a story!
