Super Podcasts , Tom Nelson is the Superman of Racing Engines and Fabrication
Thanks for sharing 💪🏼💯🏁
Thanks for enjoying!
I remember seeing Toms videos on street fire. This guy is one of the main characters who got the world to go V8 Turbo crazy.
Great Podcast, really enjoyed hearing some Tom Nelson stories, he's a legend for sure. Keep up the great work!!
Miss Tom's UA-cam content.
I literally just went on his website to see if he was still around and watched the 2500 hp engine on the dyno before I stumbled on to this podcast lol... I used to sit for hours and watch his youtube channel 😅
What happend why does he not upload anymore?
Nelson is a funny guy. I have a lot of respect for Nelson and Eichert. Good work boys!!!
We need the full story of the f bomb camaro?
That airboat video is one of my favorite on YT
Dudes awesome, I’d love to get have lunch w this guy
Please bring Dave back.
"We're making more power than anyone"
What a silly comment. Steve Morris is on a different level along with others.
Also Tom ruined me with his mirror turbos. Now everyone else looks wrong.
So much goodness!! Tom's the man no doubt a million more freakin cool stories in the tank too! 😎
Tom is a great guest! Awesome stories
What happened to that awesome charger he was building. Some of the best fabrication I’ve ever seen.
Anyone remember that crazy RX7 he built?
Good show, thank you.
I’ve been watching NRE since I was ten! Rolling burnouts in 1500hp cars and then casually cruising down the street. One of my favorites was when he got pulled over in the fastback mustang. Lol
Tom Nelson is definitely a top tier automotive engineer.
