Reporter’s Notebook: Looking Back At First Weeks of TDC Season

About this episode

Greg Thompson and Eugene Mulero review the results of the first weeks of the TDC season and reflect on their podcasting journey.

In this episode of the podcast recorded on May 15th, PodWheels Executive Producer Greg Thompson and NTDC Historian Eugene Mulero open up their reporter’s notebooks to review the State TDC Results from the first completed event in Arizona through the State Championships in North Dakota and Kentucky in early May. Greg and Eugene spend some time reviewing the results and what they have learned as the first 11 states have completed their TDCs. You’ll hear them discuss some familiar names who have become regulars at the NTDCs over the years and you’ll also hear them highlight some newcomers as well. You’ll learn who has completed the “TDC Cycle” of vehicle division championships over their careers and you’ll also find out about the most memorable storylines Greg and Eugene have seen thus far in 2026. And, as our podcast series is approaching the milestone of 250 episodes releases, Greg and Eugene take some time to reflect on this podcasting journey and they express their gratitude and thanks to all our listeners. You can also access all the results from the TDCs that PodWheels has compiled to date from the State Associations that have held their championships…
