Tmcp #226 Wes Drelleshak’s ’59 Apache “muscle Truck”: Racing With The Big Boys

[scott_stap]

This weeks interview is with Wes Drelleshak, the creator and racer of his 1959 Apache muscle-truck appropriately named “Project Long Shot.” He will be campaigning against some of the best drivers and cars ever at the 2014 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational!

As he’s essentially taking a butter knife to a gun fight I thought it might be fun to have Wes come onto the show to discuss what it’s like (and how he has found a way) to successfully campaign in a competitive race series when you’re on a tight budget (I know that a lot of TMCP Readers and Listeners can relate)! Since the Ultimate Street Car format has the equalizing segments like autocross and speed-stop, he’s been able to compete highly in those areas and run mid pack overall.
