Feature Interview:

Josh Stahl

While we’re in between events we wanted to present as many feature interviews as possible for you this season, and this time we’re proud to have Josh Stahl from Reviva on the show. Josh is an easy guy to spot at events; he’s 6’5″, built like a Tight End, and drives a bright red Wide-Body 69 ‘Benz with a cage and a built LS under the hood. The engine itself was a designed to be a new feature line for his company, as they just happen to be a major engine remanufacturer for multiple domains of engine lines. Why not use that expertise to create a robust and high performance LS series engine, right?

The Benz is a crowd and competitro favorite to be sure. He’s won multiple Anderson Composites Participants Choice awards, in fact! Josh really enjoys the OPTIMA series and everything that goes along with it. Just like his car, he’s a work in progress as a driver and he’s loving every minute of them both getting better together. Due to the build nature of the car he runs in the Outlaw class….but he would sure love to know how his car would do in Design and Engineering if it qualified for GTV.
