Car Warriors Season 2 on SPEED - Premier February 24th

The much anticipated premier of Car Warriors Season 2 on the SPEED network is this week! The show will have a special premier on Friday February 24th, immediately following the Daytona Truck Race. (Approx. 7 Pacific & 10 Eastern).

The new season will then settle into the weekly time slot of Wednesday's at 6 Pacific and 9 Eastern.

This season is bigger, badder and only 48 hours of build time.  Car Warriors features team vs. team and America's favorite muscle cars.


Brad Fanshaw is one of three hosts that bring the show to life each week.  As a Technical Co-Host Fanshaw leads one team each week through the build.  The other Technical Co-Host is Ray McClelland, who teams with the opposing side for the build.  Together, Fanshaw and McClelland help the teams manage their time, execute their cars and coach them through some of the toughest builds ever completed on TV. The third host is Jimmy Shine who introduces the builds, drives the completed cars and judges the finished creations.

The premier features some So-Cal hot shots and Inland Empire underdogs, the teams are building second generation Chevrolet Camaros.  These teams were the first to grind, paint, stitch and fabricate in the Car Warriors shop this season and its amazing to see what can be done in just 48 hours when you have a seasoned veteran helping out, determination and lots of energy drinks.

"There have been many shows that say they are building cars under the gun, but we actually do it. The clock starts and it stops, an honest 48 consecutive hours. The cars get done and they get driven the very next day!", states Fanshaw

Barrett-Jackson Auction Scottsdale, AZ Promoting Car Warriors on SPEED

A quick interview with Ralph to promote Car Warriors.

I spent the week in Arizona promoting Car Warriors on SPEED, it premiers February 24th. Barrett-Jackson is an event I have been attending for over twenty years. Been both a buyer and a seller, my company has consulted the event on marketing, branding and merchandising.

The event rocks and is packed with excitement every year and 2012 did not disappoint.  Here is a look at the week.

April Rose, Justin Bell and me in the SPEED Social Garage

I did spend time in the SPEED Social Garage where I Tweeted, answered questions and met April Rose and Justin Bell from SPEED. It was fantastic to talk with fans in real time as SPEED added promos for the show live during the Barrett-Jackson coverage.

Just before I crossed the block in this bad boy

This is an ultra rare Ford Thunderbolt with an even more rare Mickey Thompson Ford HEMI motor. I was asked by the owner to take it across the block since I was involved in the restoration years earlier.

Just crossed the block with my friend Bob Bauder, sold for $250k

Bob and I can smile while the car is being bid on because no worries, not our sale. I have sold my own and it can be really nerve- racking!

Why the smile, Larry Dixon's first trip to Barrett-Jackson.

I hung out all week with my good friend Larry Dixon the 3X NHRA Top Fuel Champion. There are some exciting things coming for this guy!
Also, in our gang was Steve Johnson the NHRA Pro-Stock motorcycle champion, he is Mr. Personality.

The legends and Mike Russo (ADESA) myself and Alan Taylor.

We made an appearance at ADESA Auctions in Chandler, Arizona on Wednesday. I was thrilled to be asked to be on the bill with Barry Meguire, Larry Dixon, Steve Johnson and Parnelli Jones.

ADESA was great to us everyone was super nice!
