David Freiburger and Scotto on How Roadkill Happened, Road Trip Therapy & Why Old Cars Just Win
“Don’t get it right; just get it running!” - words we could all stand to live by! This week we welcome David Freiburger , colossus of the automotive world who alongside Scotto, forms a mildly senior (sorry.. ‘Authoritative’ ! ) coalition of men yelling at clouds. Though you may know him best from his adventures with Roadkill alongside Mike Finnegan, David’s roots in the car world go back to magazines, with storied career chapters spent at the wheel of multiple titles. Making the jump to video, he put in time at MotorTrend and now, his own YouTube channel. In this hugely wide-ranging conversation, the gents litigate everything from the glory days of heavy metal (Dokken anyone?), to Drag Week and countless records and tales from the drag-strip, even including hearing damage. Crucially though, could David be the guest that finally causes the blind to see and the lame to walk? By which of course I mean poor Scotto, and his unfinished projects – dear Lord, we need a miracle! As ever, enjoy. @DavidFreiburger @BrianScotto @321ActionAction Partners: FCP Euro Heat Wave Visual Wera Tools KW Suspensions Producer : Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Editor : Julius Adorsu @adorsu.j Music : SlikSound Patreon : https://patreon.com/u37266647 https://bio.site/321actionaction podcasts@321actionaction.com 00:00 - Welcome & Introduction 04:29 - Don’t Get It Right; Just Get It Running 08:11 - How Roadkill Happened 17:40 - Small Town Road Therapy 22:24 - Print to Video Identity Shift 26:55 - Sponsor: FCP Euro 28:31 - Do You Miss Magazines? 38:12 - Hot Rod Legacy and Adventures at the Strip 43:42 - Autonomy In Publishing 44:13 - Tinnitus Ends NHRA Gig 49:02 - Sponsors: Heat Wave Visual, Wera Tools & KW Suspensions 50:54 - Great Road Trip Bands 53:55 - The Forbidden Guns n’ Roses Artwork 58:28 - BMX Nostalgia 59:28 - How Drag Week Came to Be 01:04:13 - NHRA Today And IHRA 01:10:18 - Chasing 350 MPH 01:13:51 - Finding Fame on YouTube 01:16:14 - Bonneville 200 MPH Club 01:21:33 - Land Speed Risks 01:22:55 - Future Of Bonneville 01:25:35 - Crackdowns And Tire Laws 01:29:48 - EV Reality Check 01:33:32 - Conspiracy Theories: Ethanol And Burning Junkyards? 01:41:06 - Buying A Newer Truck & Why Old Cars Win 01:45:04 - Worst Modern Car Tech 01:49:21 - Project Car Overload 01:56:30 - Solo YouTube Workflow 01:57:56 - Personalities Beat Brands 02:02:05 - Beating The Algorithm 02:05:00 - Building A Model A 02:06:43 - Hot Rod Rabbit Holes 02:09:00 - Howard Hughes and WWII Submarine Hunting? 02:13:24 - Facebook Comment Firestorm 02:26:01 - Movie Cars And Licensing 02:30:48 - Car Hoarding And Game Clock 02:34:17 - Rotating Fleet Philosophy
