Hot Rod Blues, Episode 8, Memphis Rodders 1947

Boiling Down Dynamite with Memphis Rodders Marshall Robilio and Eddie Wilbanks - Episode 7  The boys are back in the shop at Steel Rose Metal Co for episode 7 to talk with two legends of Memphis hot rodding and racing. The special guests are Marshall Robilio and Eddie Wilbanks of the Memphis Rodders, a car club started 75 years ago by a bunch of fun-loving daredevils who put Memphis on the map for drag racing.  
These guys are the true definition of hot rodders. If they didn’t have something, they built it. If it broke, they fixed it right then and there. They started drag racing on an airstrip in Halls, Tennessee, back in the ‘50s until Ray Godman bought a strip of land in Lakeland, Tennessee, and built a proper drag strip. Lakeland International Raceway saw some great match racing back in the day and the guys did really well in ‘55 or ‘56 at the U.S. Nationals. 
Marshall and Eddie give us the scoop on what it was like back then, how they got started, and how they overcame obstacles. It’s amazing to hear these two guys talk about their lives growing up in the Memphis area, racing around the nation, and how the club came to be. Take a journey through some hot-rodding history and hear the tales of the wise old guys who started this crazy hobby that we all love so much. We’re sure to have these guys back. It’s as entertaining as you think it might be!
