Talkin’ Shift Podcast

Calvin and his dad Andrew from Nivlac57 join Fred, Witty, and Reece to talk about their love for building FAST cars with engines nobody else wants! From GM 4200s and Cadillac Northstars to Nissan VK56s, these guys have made a name for themselves by taking overlooked junkyard engines and making some SERIOUS horsepower on a budget. We dive into their unique builds, why they choose to do things differently, and how they've managed to make some unlikely combinations go ridiculously fast.

Fred, Witty, and Reece are back from FL2K26 to recap the highs and lows of the 4 day weekend in Florida. From Brett LaSala and Snot Rocket breaking the stick shift world record to the unfortunate tire failure, Cleetus getting disqualified, Leroy taking home the win, and everything in between.

Fred, Witty, and Reece are back to recap War in the Woods 15 and discuss what makes this event one of the BEST no prep races in the world. From the unique atmosphere and incredible racing to some of our favorite moments from the weekend, the guys break down why War in the Woods continues to be an event we look forward to every year.

Fred, Witty, and Reece are back at the table to break down everything that went down at the recent Stick Shift race at Great Lakes Dragaway in Wisconsin. Some of the fastest stick shift cars in the world were in one place, giving us a pretty good look at who the top dogs are right now. The guys talk through the racing, stories from the weekend, and where some of the biggest names in the stick shift world currently stack up.

We're back! With another episode of Talkin' Shift - this time back at the studio to recap everything from our Alaska trip. We talk about the stories you missed, we ragebait Witty with some BMW jargon, and we talk about a race we filmed in Wyoming that will never make it to YouTube.

Brett LaSala is the owner/driver behind the Snot Rocket Mustang, one of the fastest and most competitive cars on the Coyote platform right now. We talk about his rise in racing, how he’s built the program, and his big performance at TX2K26, including a $36,000 win, along with the parts and people behind the car like Motion Raceworks and TBM Brakes.

In this episode of Talkin' Shift, we’re going through everything that went down at TX2K26, from the record-setting passes to the biggest moments that we saw throughout the week. Between the first-ever 5-second run in TX2K history, 200+ MPH roll racing, and some wild upsets across multiple classes, this year was one we'll remember for a long time.

We sat down with ThatDudeinBlue (David Patterson) — a car enthusiast and YouTuber who’s reviewed over 1,000 cars and built a massive presence in automotive media since the early days of YouTube. We dive into how his channel got started, the ups and downs of growing on the platform, and the shifts he’s made in content over the years. David shares behind-the-scenes stories about some of his wildest reviews, the challenges that came with evolving his style, and what he’s focused on heading into 2026.

We’re back in the studio breaking down everything that went down at Sick Week 2026. From the record cold Florida temps to the cars that surprised us most, we go through how the week unfolded from Day 0 to the final pass in Gainesville. We talk about who took home class wins, which builds impressed us the most, and the struggles teams faced along the way — from mechanical setbacks to weather delays and everything in between. If you followed Sick Week all week long, this is the full recap from our side of the fence.

We're proud to say we've published 20 episodes on our Talkin' Shift Podcast, and we're happy to have Jim Neuenfeldt (AKA Parish) on to mark the milestone. Parish is a big time OG on the 1320video Youtube channel - going back 20 years. He was widely known in the midwest for his 10 second sleeper Silverado that had twin turbos before it was cool, and could gap nearly everything on the streets.
