Ryan Hoyle recently performed and recorded drum tracks on the theme for “Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain”!

Thanks and congratulations to super composer Brian Langsbard on this killer theme!

Wind Tunnel began on February 21, 2003 as a LIVE 30-minute show on Friday nights. The first guest was Chip Ganassi. It quickly turned into a 1-hour program then by August of that year, the show expanded to four nights a week…Monday-Thursday. In 2005, Wind Tunnel transitioned into a 2-hour Sunday night program and in 2006, Wind Tunnel was trimmed to a jam-packed 1 hour. Also that year, we debuted our documentary unit called Dave Despain On Assignment as well as did a special on legendary motorsports reporter, Chris Economaki. 2011 marks Wind Tunnel’s 9th season. We’ve done over 500 shows and have interviewed well over 1000 guests.
