  Racer Radio: Mustang History, Barona Speedway & Sprint Car Racing

  Aug 19, 20261h 37mS1

  This episode of Checkers and Wreckers on Racer Radio brings together Ford Mustang history, grassroots dirt-track action, and sprint car racing from across Southern California. Dave Stall revisits his interview with author Robert M. Kennedy about Mustang Unbridled: The High-Octane History of Ford’s Legendary Pony Car . Kennedy shares how a lifelong passion for cars led to the book, why the often-overlooked Mustang II may have helped keep the Mustang—and arguably the American muscle-car market—alive during the fuel-crisis era, and how the Mustang evolved through generations including the Fox Body, SN95, Dark Horse, and today’s high-performance models. Then it’s time to get dirty with a full Barona Speedway race report. Dirt Dude recaps a strong night of racing with roughly 450 fans in attendance and competition across Junior Sprints, Dwarf Cars, IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, Sport Compacts, Lightning Sprints, and Pure Stocks. The conversation also looks ahead to Barona’s August 29 IMCA night and the possibility of bringing affordable 305 sprint car racing to the track. With lower engine costs and more standardized equipment, the 305 class could give racers a more budget-friendly way to enjoy full-size sprint car competition while putting more emphasis on driver skill. Sprint car racer Brody Roa also joins Dave after another night at Perris Auto Speedway. Roa talks about bouncing back after an engine failure, qualifying second, winning his heat race, and finishing third in the main event. He also previews a trip to historic Calistoga Speedway, a track he calls his favorite on the West Coast because of its size and speed. Listen to the full episode of Racer Radio for Mustang history, Barona race results, sprint car talk, and the personalities keeping Southern California’s grassroots motorsports scene alive.

  Still Talkin' Radio: Hospital Billing, Election Integrity & the Real WKRP

  Aug 19, 202652 minS1

  From controversial hospital billing allegations and election integrity questions to Cold War military stories and a surprising connection to WKRP in Cincinnati , this episode of Jared Basso’s Still Talkin’ Radio covers a lot of ground. Jared Basso, Dave Stall, and Amy Reichert kick things off with the Reichert Report , where Amy discusses allegations involving several San Diego-area healthcare systems named in the White House’s Wolves in White Coats report. The conversation focuses on claims involving billing for puberty blockers and hormone treatments for minors, potential False Claims Act concerns, and questions about how local media decide which stories receive attention. The discussion then turns to James O’Keefe’s Minnesota voter ID investigation , including undercover footage that raises questions about voter identification and polling-place procedures. Dave also brings a personal perspective to the conversation about military service, deployment conditions, and suicide reporting, drawing on his own experiences serving in extreme Cold War conditions. Together, the hosts examine how complicated issues involving elections, immigration, public safety, the military, and healthcare are portrayed in the media. Then the show takes a completely unexpected turn when co-host Brendan reveals that there’s a real Cincinnati radio station using the call letters WKRP . That discovery launches a nostalgic conversation about WKRP in Cincinnati , why the classic sitcom captured radio culture so well, and the chemistry that made its cast memorable. The crew keeps the nostalgia rolling with Night Court , Sanford and Son , The Jeffersons , and other television favorites. Listen to the full episode of Still Talkin’ Radio for the complete Reichert Report, the discussion on election integrity and media coverage, Dave’s military perspective, and a fun trip back to the golden age of television. Catch the show on FM 96.1 and AM 1170 in San Diego . YouTube: @MrDaveStall Website: davestall.com STILL TALKIN RADIO 08/16/26

  You Auto Know — Mustang History, Lexus RZ, Ford F-250 & the Return of Scout

  Aug 19, 202654 minS1

  From Mustang history to the rebirth of an off-road legend, this episode of You Auto Know with Dave Stall covers more than 60 years of automotive evolution. Author Robert M. Kennedy joins Dave to discuss his book Mustang Unbridled and how Ford kept the Mustang alive through the 1970s oil crisis when competitors abandoned the pony-car market. Even the much-maligned Mustang II , with as little as 88 horsepower, played an important role in keeping the Mustang nameplate alive. Automotive reviewer Kristen Barclay gets behind the wheel of the 2026 Lexus RZ 550e F Sport AWD , focusing on a changing priority among EV shoppers: charging speed. As electric-vehicle ranges improve, how quickly drivers can recharge is becoming just as important as how far they can travel. Brian Armstead takes on the Ford F-250 Super Duty Platinum , a nearly four-ton diesel truck combining serious capability with an unexpectedly luxurious cabin, premium Bang & Olufsen audio, and reported fuel economy around 18 mpg. The episode's biggest look toward the future comes from Ryan Decker, VP of Strategy and Brand at Scout Motors , who explains the philosophy behind reviving Scout after a 44-year absence. The upcoming Scout Traveller SUV and Terra pickup are being developed around the rugged qualities of the originals: body-on-frame construction, solid-axle capability, physical controls, real door handles, and serious off-road performance. An extended-range powertrain is planned to provide more than 500 miles of combined range. Dave and Ryan also explore why electric propulsion could have genuine advantages off-road, particularly the immediate and precisely controllable torque available during low-speed rock crawling. Finally, Dave shares a real-world lesson in the value of good automotive diagnostics. After bringing his wife's minivan to Stress Free Auto Care expecting an expensive repair, technicians traced the problem to a rodent-damaged wire—turning what could have become a major parts replacement into a relatively inexpensive fix. Listen to the full episode for the complete Mustang story, real-world vehicle reviews, Dave's trusted San Diego automotive recommendations, and an inside look at how Scout plans to bring one of America's classic off-road names into a new generation.

  Sports Corner: Padres Talk, Floor Hockey & San Diego's Hidden Sports Gems

  Aug 19, 202649 minS1

  What happens when sports radio looks beyond the major leagues and starts paying attention to the athletes and organizations quietly building communities right here in San Diego? You get an episode of Sports Corner that moves from Padres baseball and billion-dollar NBA deals to a floor hockey league that's been operating locally for three decades—and that many San Diegans still don't know exists. Hosts Dave Stall and Brendan Thomas start with the San Diego Padres, taking a hard look at the team's season, GM A.J. Preller's approach to trades, and whether the current roster has what it takes to make a serious playoff run. And then there's Manny Machado. Brendan has apparently reached his limit watching Machado jog to first base, delivering one of the episode's more memorable lines: "If I see Machado waddle to first base one more time, I'm going to jump over the rail and chase him." It's classic Sports Corner—serious sports analysis mixed with the kind of frustration normally reserved for yelling at the television from your couch. In This Episode: ⚾ The San Diego Padres' playoff chances A.J. Preller's trade strategy and roster decisions The Manny Machado hustle debate Major changes involving the Los Angeles Lakers MLB vs. NBA salaries and league economics San Diego's surprisingly established floor hockey community How floor hockey differs from floorball, ringette, and field hockey Nintendo and Super Mario-inspired team themes A goalie still competing in his 70s The "floating blue line" and how it changes the game ❤️ Giving San Diego's overlooked sports organizations a voice The episode's biggest discovery comes when Mark de Graffenreidt joins the show representing the San Diego Floor Hockey League (SDFHL). The nonprofit organization has been around for roughly 30 years, yet Dave and Brendan admit that even they weren't familiar with it—which is exactly why they wanted Mark on the show. Mark walks listeners through the basics of floor hockey and explains how it differs from related sports such as floorball, ringette, and traditional field hockey. The result is a sport that's competitive enough for experienced players but approachable enough for newcomers who simply want to try something different. A Hockey League With Its Own Personality The SDFHL isn't trying to take itself too seriously, either. This season's teams are embracing a Nintendo and Super Mario theme, bringing a little personality and nostalgia to the competition. Even more impressive is the range of people playing. The league includes experienced hockey players, newcomers learning the game, and even a goalie competing into his 70s—proof that finding a competitive sport doesn't necessarily have to end at a certain age. Whether you're a lifelong hockey fan, a Padres fanatic, or someone looking for a new way to get active and meet people, this episode is a reminder that some of San Diego's best sports stories may be happening far away from the big stadiums. Listen to the full episode of Sports Corner to hear the complete Padres debate, the conversation with Mark, and discover why the San Diego Floor Hockey League might be one of the city's best-kept sports secrets.

  V-Parts Radio: Air-Cooled Fiesta en la Playa, Classic VWs & a Community Built Around Cars

  Aug 19, 202648 minS1

  Imagine 250 air-cooled Volkswagens taking over a beachside street in Imperial Beach , a Brazilian samba band moving through the crowd, rare VWs everywhere you look, and a community coming together to raise money for local causes. That's the 13th Annual Air-Cooled Fiesta en la Playa , and this episode of V-Parts Radio gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the event so special. Host Dave Stall sits down with Mario , longtime VW enthusiast and club organizer, along with John Harder , an 83-year-old Volkswagen owner with an incredible story of his own. John has owned his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle since December 30, 1967 —more than five decades with the same car. In This Episode: The 13th Annual Air-Cooled Fiesta en la Playa 250+ Volkswagens taking over Imperial Beach Live Brazilian samba music and entertainment Rare, restored, and custom air-cooled VWs John's incredible 1967 Beetle restoration ❤️ How the VW community supports local charities Fundraising for scholarships and community programs Why car clubs are about much more than the cars Rare Fridolins, Type 3s, Beetles, buses, and more The Air-Cooled Fiesta en la Playa happens September 20th from 9 AM to 2 PM on Seacoast Drive in Imperial Beach . Admission for spectators is completely free, while vehicle registration is $35 on the day of the show. The first 150 registered vehicles even receive a commemorative event T-shirt. The city closes the street for the event, creating a Volkswagen takeover with show cars near the pier, off-road vehicles on the sand, vendors, music, food, and enthusiasts coming together from throughout Southern California and beyond. But there's a bigger purpose behind the fun. Mario explains that after covering the significant cost of producing the event, proceeds are donated back into the community, including support for the Cuyamaca College Scholarship Fund, San Diego healthcare organizations, and the Boys & Girls Club of Imperial Beach . One Beetle — More Than 50 Years of Memories John's story may be the highlight of the episode. His 1967 Beetle eventually spent 17 years sitting beside his house deteriorating. After retiring, John decided it was finally time to bring the car back. Over roughly a year and a half, he completed about 95% of the restoration himself . The result? 18 show trophies—and counting. John's story perfectly captures what makes the air-cooled Volkswagen community different. These aren't always cars people buy, enjoy for a few years, and replace. They're vehicles that become part of families and sometimes stay with their owners for a lifetime. The cars may bring everyone together, but it's the friendships, stories, shared knowledge, community involvement, and generations of enthusiasts that keep people coming back. Whether you've owned air-cooled Volkswagens your entire life, you're restoring your first Beetle, or you simply appreciate great cars and the people behind them, this episode is worth the listen. Listen to the full episode of V-Parts Radio , then mark your calendar for September 20th and head to Imperial Beach for the 13th Annual Air-Cooled Fiesta en la Playa.
