<v Speaker 2>as well. Man So coach Joseph, coach jose the man.

70
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you he's a he's a really good cat.

71
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Here's one of the things I was looking at Cars Tour.

72
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Now.

73
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Now, you know, somebody's gonna need to help me out

74
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>on this because I really don't. I know, we run,

75
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, who's your nineteen seventies out here? And you know,

76
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 2>But I guess the Cars Tour is switching from an

77
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 2>ST two to an F forty five. I guess that's

78
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 2>a pretty big deal. You know what I haven't I've

79
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>heard of the F forty five's, but I haven't heard

80
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>of an ST two, So I don't really know. I mean,

81
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>let me just say, if if you know anything about

82
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>who's retires, let me know, because I know about the

83
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>nine to seventy, you know, in the nine tens or

84
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever they got or the nine four fives or whatever

85
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>they sometimes they go. But yeah, dude, I got some

86
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 2>I got some results from that. It's pretty cool. But yeah,

87
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>that's the big I guess that's the big talk is

88
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the cars tour is going from an ST two to

89
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>an F forty five. I don't know if that's going

90
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>down or up or laterally, I'm not I'm not really sure.

91
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's the real talk going on. I guess

92
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>one of the hot topics. But uh, I do have

93
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>some shout outs tonight.

94
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:48.879

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Doug Fleming, another Carter engine builder.

132
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 2>He made the Carting Hall of Fame, which is huge.

133
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 2>And my buddy, this is the guy who I learned

134
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>not just karting from but I I learned how to race.

135
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I learned the mentality of how to race, how you

136
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 2>got to think, how you have to prepare. It wasn't

137
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>just go go karts were the avenue. But this guy

138
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>taught me how to think, and he taught me how

139
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>to analyze, and he taught me how to He taught

140
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>me a lot. I mean, pretty much everything I know

141
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>other than the stuff when I left him and I

142
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>learned on my own. But to get me started, he

143
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>gave me the it's an it's a uh, it's an

144
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 2>instruction that you could not pay for.

145
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Nobody could afford it.

146
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 2>If you got the same instruction that I got, it

147
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>was priceless. And that's Phil foul a legend in karting,

148
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the best to ever sit behind the wheel

149
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>will go kart. I don't care who you are. You

150
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 2>can say what you want. But he's done more. He's

151
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>done as much or more for the sport than anybody,

152
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 2>and unfortunately it's just not out there. The guy invented,

153
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>basically invented the fiberglass stuff that you see everywhere. None

154
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of that, none of that stuff was around before Phil

155
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>did it. You know, the the pro shields, the the

156
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you know the fairings that everybody. I mean, I'm just

157
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:34.679
<v Speaker 2>telling you, he's done more for karting than most people

158
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>can ever dream of. And I'm just so happy and

159
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 2>proud that he got in there because he he deserves

160
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 2>it more than anything. And another shout out to the

220
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.000

221
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 2>than they pay for some of the pro late.

<v Speaker 1>PM me with it.

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I tried to have it the other day and I

357
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>don't have it. I have your card somewhere, but I

358
00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:58.880
<v Speaker 2>need I need it on face so if you could

359
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>message it to me, that'd be super cool. So yeah,

360
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at this call find and I'm like, holy smokes.

361
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Then the Pro four trucks Cole Cooey, Cody Cooey, UM

362
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 2>one two in the Pro four Trucks, Doug Wilkinson, Calvin Miller,

363
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and McKenna Cox one two, three, four five boom solid.

364
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 2>From what I heard, those trucks are beautiful. Everyone there

365
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>brought a like a stellar piece, just super super cool.

366
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

367
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Then they had the four cylinder Figure eights, Bryce Cohler,

368
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Damon Claiborne, Zach Bristol. So here's here's what Here's what

369
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 2>happened was Damon Claiborne had the thing won, but he

370
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 2>goes through the intersection. He was trying not to head

371
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 2>on with somebody and had to jump all over the brakes.

372
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 2>So from what I understand, that lets Bryce Cohler go

373
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>on to the wind, Claiborne's and Zach Bristol third. Then

374
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 2>they had the Northwest Figure ates James Connolly's deal. I'm

375
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>sure James was there. One of the best guys you'll

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.319
<v Speaker 2>by the name of Sandy Allen. She came over for

417
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 2>South Sound, and of course it got rained out. The

418
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>weather was kind of crap over here. But she stopped

419
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.279
<v Speaker 2>by brought me a thing of apple butter, which I

420
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.839
<v Speaker 2>cannot wait to try, and we sat her on bs

421
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 2>for I don't know, it's a good hour and uh

422
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>before she went back to the motel and got herself

423
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 2>her first time ever eating Burgerville. I was a little shocked,

424
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>but where she lives it really, I mean, it shouldn't

425
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:20.480
<v Speaker 2>have surprised me because there's no Burgerville's over there, but

426
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:24.519
<v Speaker 2>she had never had Burgerville before, so she went over

427
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to Burgerville, got a burger her first time, and then

428
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 2>headed back to the motel room, which I thought was

429
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:36.759

00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>made it down? Did you guys unload out of the

512
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 2>box good? Or was it a bit of a struggle

513
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to get there?

514
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 4>The worst thing was just so hot?

515
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.599
<v Speaker 3>Really?

516
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>How hot was it?

517
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 4>I think it was one hundred and three on Friday,

518
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 4>but it was like a one and twenty.

519
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:38.359
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

520
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Well it probably was on the racetrack or in the car.

521
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it was. It was pretty hot.

522
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 4>But we were pretty good off the trailer, and really

523
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:48.160
<v Speaker 4>we made all the right adjustments. You know, you just

524
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 4>have one of those weekends where everything goes well. Yes,

525
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.440
<v Speaker 4>and luck is a big part of it. I mean

526
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 4>we got lucky right, right.

527
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, let me ask you something seriously. I mean,

528
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 2>so when you go down there and it's one hundred

529
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and three, right, I mean you're already kind of I

530
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 2>mean the weather sort of got you beat right out

531
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 2>of the gate, right, I Mean it's hot and you're

532
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit lethargic and maybe not one hundred percent yourself,

533
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.119
<v Speaker 2>right just because of the weather.

534
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Sure, So what do you.

535
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Mindset wise, what do you have to do going in

536
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 2>there when you know it's this hot and you're gonna

537
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 2>be practicing, trying to qualify and maybe running some heat

538
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 2>races or whatever, and then the main events at night

539
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:32.119
<v Speaker 2>when things cool off. I mean, how does how do

540
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 2>you gotta what's your mindset like with all that?

541
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot.

542
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.839
<v Speaker 3>It's at a big obstacle, especially at a.

543
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Track we don't normally race that, we've only been there

544
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 4>once before. And some of the local guys, the late

545
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.559
<v Speaker 4>Model guys we were talking to, said that the thing

546
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 4>was going to tighten up a bunch at night, and

547
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.880
<v Speaker 4>so you don't know who to listen to and how

548
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 4>big of a change you need to make for racing

549
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:56.079
<v Speaker 4>because practicing at four and we ended up racing at

550
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 4>what was it eight o'clock or whatever? It was, so right,

551
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 4>definitely part of the channel and the whole deal.

552
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, And that did you qualify ahead of that or

553
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:05.319
<v Speaker 2>did you qualify the day before?

554
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 3>We qualified?

555
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Did everything on Saturday?

556
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 3>Just practice on Friday?

557
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Okay? So what time did you qualify at four o'clock?

558
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Man?

559
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:15.319
<v Speaker 4>That sounds about right?

560
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 3>What was this?

561
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker 4>I know the sun was.

562
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Up yep, yep.

563
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Well four o'clock is usually that's pretty close to the

564
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.799
<v Speaker 2>hottest time of the day, right, So yeah.

565
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:26.799
<v Speaker 3>Saturday was a little bit better.

566
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't so hot and there was a little breeze

567
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 4>so it wasn't as bad.

568
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, right, And did the and did the track tighten

569
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 2>up like you suspected?

570
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Not as much as we thought.

571
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Actually we had to make some changes at the halfway

572
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:41.799
<v Speaker 4>point to get it a little bit better so we

573
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 4>could run the top because we were we were pretty

574
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.799
<v Speaker 4>good on the bottom, but it was free on the top,

575
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.880
<v Speaker 4>so we actually tightened it up at the halfway point.

576
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.720
<v Speaker 4>I took a little bit of stagger out and played

577
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.839
<v Speaker 4>with the bar a little bit. So, like I said,

578
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 4>we got got lucky and made the right changes.

579
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Really was the biggest part of it?

580
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Is that really luck?

581
00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 3>Man?

582
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Or is that kind of what you're doing a little bit?

583
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 4>Well? I like to think so, Cameron, I had Cameron McKeon,

584
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 4>Berett Santa Rosa, John Blogne and my son Kobe Brown

585
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 4>with us, and we worked so well together. It was

586
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 4>a it was it was a great weekend.

587
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey man, that's awesome, you know, that's that's that's super awesome.

588
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about let's talk about the race itself.

589
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 2>So were you as good as you needed to be

590
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:27.239
<v Speaker 2>in the first half?

591
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 4>The first half was crazy because everybody, I mean, I

592
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.159
<v Speaker 4>felt like we were pretty good, but everybody was running

593
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 4>a frantic pace. And those frontwel drive cars, they're so

594
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.639
<v Speaker 4>fast out of the spot of the box it's hard

595
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 4>to and and the real drive cars are a little

596
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 4>bit different speed at different spots on the track, So

597
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.400
<v Speaker 4>you kind of got to watch people and pick up.

598
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:48.039
<v Speaker 3>How they drive.

599
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:50.800
<v Speaker 4>And so it was kind of weird the first hundred

600
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.199
<v Speaker 4>because our first fifty that we were just kind of

601
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 4>riding around seeing what everybody was going to do, right,

602
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 4>and then.

603
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.119
<v Speaker 2>How about the and then at the halfway point you

604
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.599
<v Speaker 2>you said you made some adjustments.

605
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 1>How was it in the second half.

606
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if we could have been much better

607
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:06.840
<v Speaker 4>than what we were.

608
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.360
<v Speaker 3>It was.

609
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.000
<v Speaker 4>It was a little tight on the bottom of one

610
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.599
<v Speaker 4>and two, but other than that, I could pretty much

611
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.360
<v Speaker 4>go wherever I wanted to go, and we just didn't

612
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.480
<v Speaker 4>fall off as much as what I kind of anticipated.

613
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, we were we were really good.

614
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Car was really good.

615
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Isn't you know what? And isn't it fun? To drive

616
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.639
<v Speaker 1>a car like that.

617
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sure you've been on the other end

618
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 2>of it where you go, holy crap, this is gonna

619
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.719
<v Speaker 2>be a long night.

620
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.679
<v Speaker 4>It sucks when you're hanging on right.

621
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

622
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it makes it easy and it makes it

623
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.800
<v Speaker 4>look easy, but it you know, when the car is

624
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 4>that good, it's it is pretty easy.

625
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's pretty neat man. And it makes them fun.

626
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 2>It makes it fun to go race that way too,

627
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:50.159
<v Speaker 2>you know. I mean that's yeah, I've been there. I mean,

628
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 2>not on your level, but I mean I've been there

629
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.719
<v Speaker 2>where you know, you you go and you go sailing

630
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:56.920
<v Speaker 2>in turn one and you're gonna be like, oh, yeah,

631
00:35:56.920 --> 00:36:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be a good night or I don't know, Guys,

632
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:04.280
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna be a long It's gonna be a

633
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 2>long one.

634
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.800
<v Speaker 4>And there's usually more more of those than better nights.

635
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, Amen to that. Amen to that.

636
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:17.119
<v Speaker 2>So you had Cameron down there too, Yes, Oh awesome dude. Yeah,

637
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 2>he's a he's a wonderful guy man, pretty knowledgeable too

638
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:21.119
<v Speaker 2>from what I understand.

639
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

640
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.360
<v Speaker 4>He's a good dude.

641
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yep, super super good dude. So now throughout the second half,

642
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 2>did you have any battles. Was there anybody you were

643
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.960
<v Speaker 2>worried about for.

644
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.360
<v Speaker 4>The first I mean we kind of got goofy with that.

645
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 4>They called it early. So around the lap fifties in there,

646
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 4>I had a good race going with the jet skis

647
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 4>and Bryce Rupert and uh and I knew Rhodes was

648
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.880
<v Speaker 4>gonna be coming because him and I were pretty much

649
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:48.039
<v Speaker 4>the same speed all weekend.

650
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:49.800
<v Speaker 3>We were talking about that all weekend, so we.

651
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Kind of knew if one of us got out front,

652
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 4>that was probably gonna be hard to pass. So me

653
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.000
<v Speaker 4>and him and I had a little battle there at

654
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 4>the end, but just flying around on the outside was

655
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fun racing with those with those with

656
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:05.239
<v Speaker 4>the other Spokane guys, and there's I know, Justin Carson

657
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:07.639
<v Speaker 4>was fast there in the beginning in that frontal drive

658
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:08.840
<v Speaker 4>car too, and.

659
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I heard Colton Schultz was okay too, but they blew

660
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 2>up right.

661
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he was gonna be definitely one to work worry

662
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:16.119
<v Speaker 4>about too.

663
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 3>But they had some oil pressure issues earlier.

664
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.400
<v Speaker 4>So I you know, I wasn't hoping for them to

665
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.159
<v Speaker 4>have a bad day, but we kind of knew that

666
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:24.079
<v Speaker 4>they weren't going to make.

667
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.239
<v Speaker 3>It probably right.

668
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So now this car that you were driving the camps.

669
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Is it is it a one that you guys built

670
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.800
<v Speaker 2>in the shop or is it a is it a

671
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:35.800
<v Speaker 2>manufactured one?

672
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's it's a Pinto that they started building. I

673
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:42.639
<v Speaker 4>think that they started to build it the year before COVID.

674
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.760
<v Speaker 4>It was Kevin, his dad and him were building it

675
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.239
<v Speaker 4>and they were just going to build it for fun.

676
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:51.400
<v Speaker 4>And during the COVID thing they got it done because

677
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 4>there wasn't nothing else to do, right, So at that

678
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.079
<v Speaker 4>point we just kind of I had another motor laying

679
00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:59.559
<v Speaker 4>around here and we just got together on it because

680
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 4>always it's a lot easier to raise this stuff when

681
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.719
<v Speaker 4>you got somebody else taking fifty percent of the budget,

682
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:05.280
<v Speaker 4>you know for it.

683
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely man. And then your motor was it? Was it

684
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 2>an Esselinger or was it one that you did yourself.

685
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.800
<v Speaker 4>This motor is a short Blox, the one I got

686
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.519
<v Speaker 4>from Bud Rumsey earlier this year.

687
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.840
<v Speaker 3>And we just looked at it and put it in.

688
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 4>Basically, it's a Van Cleeve motor from twenty eighteen.

689
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 3>I think it was Wow, it runs pretty good.

690
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll bat Van Cleve built some good stuff.

691
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 3>Man.

692
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, cool, that's super cool.

693
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's the main question at the end of the

694
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:42.360
<v Speaker 2>day one hundred and three, I know, and maybe one

695
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred or ninety nine or ninety five whatever it was

696
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:45.639
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday.

697
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a good time?

698
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.719
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it was a blast. I mean it helps when

699
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:53.719
<v Speaker 4>you win and you do well.

700
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:56.079
<v Speaker 3>But you know, Bob does such.

701
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 4>A great job compley of I mean, he's probably already

702
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 4>working on next year's sponsors. I'm we have.

703
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 3>It helps when you got I don't.

704
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 4>Know how many different things I got, as far as

705
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:10.079
<v Speaker 4>one hundred dollars here, fifty dollars here to a drive

706
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 4>line and a pyroateech helmet and arrow wheels, and I

707
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 4>know Vicky Smith added to the purse and then he

708
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 4>sent me something this week that for leading lap seventy one,

709
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.719
<v Speaker 4>I got another five hundred dollars And it's I mean,

710
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.079
<v Speaker 4>that makes it makes it more fun.

711
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Right, And I think Brad Rhodes was saying there were

712
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>some guys going, you know, holy crap, dude. Every time

713
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I turned around, I was getting a hundred bucks here

714
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:34.599
<v Speaker 2>and a hundred bucks there or fifty dollars here.

715
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's yeah, that's pretty cool.

716
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

717
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:40.360
<v Speaker 4>They did raffles and they had you know, like prizes

718
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker 4>and he gives you a goodie bag and stuff. It's

719
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:43.000
<v Speaker 4>it's a pretty neat deal.

720
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it sounds like a really neat deal. How are

721
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the stands? Was that packed?

722
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.800
<v Speaker 4>I was a little disappointed there wasn't. I mean, there

723
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Speaker 4>wasn't a whole bunch of people up there, but there was.

724
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.840
<v Speaker 4>Some of the fans came over afterwards, and we're really friendly.

725
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.239
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, everybody likes a Pinal because it's something different.

726
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, Dave Paige says, the Pinto is a beautiful

727
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 2>hot rod, super clean.

728
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 4>It's nice. And Kevin and Cameron build a nice car.

738
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.239
<v Speaker 4>fault Classic, but we kind of we got other stuff

739
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.280
<v Speaker 4>going on. You know, when you get older, kind of

740
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:40.119

749
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:05.440
<v Speaker 4>years now. But I mean, I have a port city

751
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:11.199
<v Speaker 4>of hand cost wise, but it's just to the point

752
00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:15.320
<v Speaker 4>where it's just not fun to go spend the money anymore.

753
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.400
<v Speaker 4>I guess this is a lot funner in the pino

754
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.880
<v Speaker 4>and run the force cylinder stuff, and and my daughter races,

755
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 4>and her husband races, and my son races, and I

756
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 4>just I'm having more fun helping everybody else and kind

757
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 4>of taking a step back.

758
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.880
<v Speaker 2>God, that's cool, man, I take you know what, and

759
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and and if you're a fanatic, like it sounds like

760
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you are, that's a I mean, that's a that's a

761
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 2>big step and a hard step, and I totally get it.

762
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:42.360
<v Speaker 2>But I commend you for it because it's it's tough

763
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:42.599
<v Speaker 2>to do.

764
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I still get the itch. I mean that that

765
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.159
<v Speaker 4>was a good scratch there in California.

766
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 3>But how bad I'll bat like, not as bad as

767
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:52.639
<v Speaker 3>I used to.

768
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Does it make you want to have one?

769
00:41:56.400 --> 00:42:00.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean I really like the force cylinder deal, and

770
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.719
<v Speaker 4>I've started in a pinno in ninety four, so it's

771
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:05.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of going back to where we started.

772
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure. Well how about some of the sponsors

773
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you had? Anybody you want to think that helped you

774
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:13.159
<v Speaker 2>get down there?

775
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 4>It's three K racing and Zip's family restaurants. We had

776
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:22.079
<v Speaker 4>an American onsite jump on board to go down there, and

777
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 4>basically like it's just all friends and family chipping in

778
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:25.400
<v Speaker 4>for the most part.

779
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Man in that beautiful that's pretty cool man. Well, dude,

780
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a huge win. I mean, you win the OGA

781
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:34.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred. I mean that is a big I mean,

782
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:39.559
<v Speaker 2>that's a bigger deal than then it seems, and probably

783
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:42.239
<v Speaker 2>a bigger deal than I mean. I think it deserves

784
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:44.199
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more credit than it gets because that's

785
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:44.800
<v Speaker 2>a big deal.

786
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:48.519
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty competitive. Like I said, we were down there

787
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:52.599
<v Speaker 4>four years ago and this field was as stout as

788
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:54.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean any probably local.

789
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 3>Late model show for sure.

790
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>M hm m hmm. That's awesome man. So are you

791
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm racing for the year.

792
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:05.519
<v Speaker 4>Then I am actually working on my daughter's cylinder heads.

793
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:07.760
<v Speaker 4>She's gonna run that state line. I think it's next

794
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:12.159
<v Speaker 4>weekend and I'm just helping everybody. Basically, I'm personally done

795
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:12.840

00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:14.760

00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:34.800

<v Speaker 2>was your Was that your Was that your first ever.

846
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:58.079
<v Speaker 6>S R s R O race or uh so our

847
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:01.840
<v Speaker 6>first s REH win. We ran their full.

848
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:05.239
<v Speaker 5>Schedule in twenty twenty one and we kind of split

849
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:08.159
<v Speaker 5>that up with the Northwest Tour as well, and man,

850
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:10.119
<v Speaker 5>I feel like it's been a long time coming to

851
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:13.760
<v Speaker 5>try and finally get a win in that series, you know,

852
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:15.920
<v Speaker 5>still looking to get our first one in the Northwest

853
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:18.519
<v Speaker 5>Tour ironically enough, so it's just kind of been a

854
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:21.000
<v Speaker 5>tour win has been kind of hanging over my head

855
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:25.159
<v Speaker 5>lately and just incredibly thankful to finally complete the job

856
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.239
<v Speaker 5>because I feel like we've been, you know, so close

857
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 5>for so many times and just something would always come

858
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.159
<v Speaker 5>up about right, something would break or just make.

859
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 6>A mistake on my end.

860
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.880
<v Speaker 5>So it's nice to finally have a clean, clean race

861
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.960
<v Speaker 5>and just capitalize on a good race car.

862

<v Speaker 5>previous phase two. So that is one that we had

868

00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.840
<v Speaker 5>it's definitely a unique racetrack. It's low grip, similar to

904
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Tucson in that aspect, but just really rough and uh,

905
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 5>obviously the the caliper of competition and teams that were

906
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:44.480
<v Speaker 5>there was at an all time high. So I was

907
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:47.280
<v Speaker 5>thankful enough to go take a couple of laps around

908
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:50.400
<v Speaker 5>and Eric Jones' rental car and he gave me some

909
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.639
<v Speaker 5>pointers come Wednesday morning, and that was a huge help, truthfully,

910
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 5>just being able to dissect the track with him, because

911
00:48:57.159 --> 00:48:59.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's kind of was in his backyard growing up,

912
00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:01.880
<v Speaker 5>so it was really cool to have a chance to

913
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:04.239
<v Speaker 5>meet him. And and and pick his brain a little

914
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:06.440
<v Speaker 5>bit and just try and be a sponge in that scenario.

915
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:10.519
<v Speaker 5>And uh, you know, come Wednesday, had a good practice run.

916
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:12.559
<v Speaker 6>I think we ended up top.

917
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:16.559
<v Speaker 5>Of the board thankfully that that day and qualified around

918
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.639
<v Speaker 5>six i'd say, and got real lucky on the invert

919
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:21.320
<v Speaker 5>as it was a top eight invert, so that put

920
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 5>us third, and uh, you know, rode around the top

921
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:26.840
<v Speaker 5>five for most of the event. But it was just

922
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.000
<v Speaker 5>really thankful to have that experience and run well and

923
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.639
<v Speaker 5>have a car that was clean, to go take the

924
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:34.639
<v Speaker 5>Colorado and go have a good weekend there.

925
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:35.440
<v Speaker 3>As well too.

926
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.000
<v Speaker 1>That's killer. So what about Levy? Did you get a

927
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:39.920
<v Speaker 1>chance to talk to Levy Jones while you were there?

928
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:42.239
<v Speaker 6>I I gotta see his mom.

929
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 5>Uh, Levy was was busy as always, uh, getting his

930
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.159
<v Speaker 5>whole program situated.

931
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:48.760
<v Speaker 6>But it's cool to see.

932
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:52.559
<v Speaker 5>You know, another Northwest family all the way across the

933
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.320
<v Speaker 5>country like that. It's just crazy where everybody's paths can

934
00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.199
<v Speaker 5>can cross at any given time. So I know he's

935
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.960
<v Speaker 5>been running out there all year long and and having

936
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:03.320
<v Speaker 5>a huge learning experience for right, I mean, that's that's

937
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:05.239
<v Speaker 5>a big move for him and his family and for

938
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:08.280
<v Speaker 5>the knowledge he's gaining with that group of guys that

939
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:11.079
<v Speaker 5>he's surrounded with is really really valuable for him at

940
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.920
<v Speaker 5>SUCHI a young age, so I know it was, you know,

941
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:16.639
<v Speaker 5>a big deal for me to go around the Berlin

942
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:19.199
<v Speaker 5>or Battle Berlin two fifty and for him that's that's

943
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.480
<v Speaker 5>probably his biggest race in his life, I'd say, So

944
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:24.440
<v Speaker 5>that was really cool to see from the other foot

945
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:26.760
<v Speaker 5>of it, right, I mean, I remember going to my

946
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.719
<v Speaker 5>first Chili Willie race and that was like a snowball

947
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.039
<v Speaker 5>derby to me, right, Like, It's just it's a lot

948
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:33.800
<v Speaker 5>to take in with the amount of people that are

949
00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:36.880
<v Speaker 5>there and the amount of good, good drivers and teams.

950
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:38.840
<v Speaker 5>So I can only imagine what was going through his head.

951
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:41.039
<v Speaker 5>But again it was it was nice to see some

952
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:42.320
<v Speaker 5>familiar faces over there.

953
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Dude, that's so cool, you know.

954
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:47.199
<v Speaker 2>And and I I gotta admit, I mean, I look

955
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:49.280
<v Speaker 2>at like what Levy's taking in over there, I mean,

956
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:51.320
<v Speaker 2>if you were to, I mean, I don't even know.

957
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is just my thought, but I don't

958
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:58.440
<v Speaker 2>even know if you could even put a i mean

959
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a price tag on the kind of experience and learning

960
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:05.039
<v Speaker 2>that he's getting back there, right being with those guys,

961
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, from what I understand, he's kind of

962
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 2>in a test car and they try different stuff on it.

963
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:13.239
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, man, you start adding that on top

964
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:16.639
<v Speaker 2>of trying to be consistent and trying to have something

965
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:19.360
<v Speaker 2>that wins, when you're constantly like moving the car around,

966
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. To me, that's like, that's like priceless

967
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:25.960
<v Speaker 2>info that you I don't I don't even know if

968
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.639
<v Speaker 2>you could, if you had enough money to ever pay

969
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:29.320
<v Speaker 2>for all of that.

970
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:31.559
<v Speaker 6>No, without a doubt.

971
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:34.599
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I get exactly what you're saying, you know.

972
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:38.119
<v Speaker 5>I feel like it's that That's the reason why in

973
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:41.679
<v Speaker 5>my mind, jeff Jefferson has been so huge and into

974
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:44.360
<v Speaker 5>my career as long as along with Dustin Ash. I mean,

975
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:46.800
<v Speaker 5>those are two guys that have taught me so much

976
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.360
<v Speaker 5>over the years. And having the hands on experience on

977
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 5>the ins and outs of how your race car works,

978
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:54.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, that's invaluable. That's only the way to get

979
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:56.679
<v Speaker 5>better as a driver is to know what's underneath you

980
00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:58.840
<v Speaker 5>and how to not only fix it but make it

981
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.440
<v Speaker 5>go faster. Right, So, I think I think he's taking

982
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:03.519
<v Speaker 5>the right steps and it's gonna be really cool to

983
00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:05.159
<v Speaker 5>see where he can flourish him the next couple of

984
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:06.519
<v Speaker 5>years being back there.

985
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

986
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, But you know that's a that's a testament to

987
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you too, because for you to go back there, you know,

988
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and even if it is in practice, if you're top

989
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of the board and you go there your first time

990
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:23.039
<v Speaker 2>and you you know, you qualifying the in the top six,

991
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:29.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, bro, that's that's the average. The

992
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:32.119
<v Speaker 2>average dude don't just go back there. The average dude

993
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:34.320
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't go back there and do that. Sorry, I

994
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:36.760
<v Speaker 2>mean I hate to put anybody down, but I mean

995
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:38.559
<v Speaker 2>that's a pretty remarkable deal.

996
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:41.679
<v Speaker 6>No, it was incredible, you know.

997
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:45.039
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, the week leading up to it, you know, my

998
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:47.760
<v Speaker 5>whole goal was obviously just to run on the laps

999
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:49.719
<v Speaker 5>and if I got a top fifteen in it, like

1000
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:50.800
<v Speaker 5>I was going to be ecstatic.

1001
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:52.360
<v Speaker 6>And then as.

1002
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:55.360
<v Speaker 5>Tuesday progressed and we kept getting faster and faster, and

1003
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:57.719
<v Speaker 5>I got more comfortable with the place, you know, the

1004
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:01.519
<v Speaker 5>expectations kept growing and growing in my head, and uh,

1005
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, come Wednesday, being as fast as we were

1006
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.800
<v Speaker 5>throughout practice, it was like, you know, we we have

1007
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:10.719
<v Speaker 5>a good shot to go run really well here. And

1008
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, once we get racing and just being able

1009
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:16.760
<v Speaker 5>to be around you know, two Cup drivers like Carson

1010
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 5>Hosavar and Eric Jones and and Bubba Hollard. I mean,

1011
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.079
<v Speaker 5>how can you go wrong with racing against a guy

1012
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:24.199
<v Speaker 5>like that. There's just so much knowledge to be gained

1013
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 5>and how they race.

1014
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:27.199
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's it's invaluable.

1015
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.199
<v Speaker 5>So I mean, you know, as a driver, I learned

1016
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.400
<v Speaker 5>a ton just throughout that that whole entire race and

1017
00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:35.400
<v Speaker 5>maneuvering through traffic and when to push, when not to push,

1018
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.400
<v Speaker 5>and just how to race hard I mean within inches

1019
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:42.159
<v Speaker 5>of one another for laps on end. It was just

1020
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:44.639
<v Speaker 5>a lot of fun as a driver, and it's an

1021
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.480
<v Speaker 5>event if funding is right, I don't ever want to

1022
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:47.920
<v Speaker 5>miss again.

1023
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.840
<v Speaker 6>It's just that that's how good it was.

1024
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow, dude, that's that's incredible. Bro.

1025
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:55.559
<v Speaker 2>So then you left there and you know, and I

1026
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and I do get what you mean about the road

1027
00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:01.000
<v Speaker 2>trips because I can remember well way back you you

1028
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you were probably just.

1029
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:02.559
<v Speaker 1>A little guy.

1030
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:05.800
<v Speaker 2>But back in the in the in the mid eighties,

1031
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I got to go on the Northwest Tour with Dave

1032
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Goulay and and and JJ Soffino and all that, and

1033
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.480
<v Speaker 2>we used to go around all the Northwest Tour races

1034
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, man, for me, I mean, the

1035
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:20.679
<v Speaker 2>racing was great, it was it was awesome, But the

1036
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.639
<v Speaker 2>road trips were ship. The road trips were half the fun, right,

1037
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean those are those are the things we used

1038
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:29.079
<v Speaker 2>to talk about. I mean we used to talk about

1039
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:30.719
<v Speaker 2>the race, but was like, hey, remember on the road

1040
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:33.119
<v Speaker 2>trip when this happened and we did this and that.

1041
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:37.199
<v Speaker 5>I mean without a doubt, and uh, you know I

1042
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.719
<v Speaker 5>was in luck. So so Patrick and I we we

1043
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:43.440
<v Speaker 5>share a very big love and sushi. And so along

1044
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.760
<v Speaker 5>the way we were getting more and more scared because

1045
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:46.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, we were leaving the.

1046
00:54:48.599 --> 00:54:48.840
<v Speaker 3>State.

1047
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.760
<v Speaker 5>But we we had stopped in Billions, Montana go see

1048
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.159
<v Speaker 5>my grandparents, which I don't get to see very often now,

1049
00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:57.199
<v Speaker 5>and so we stopped there for the night.

1050
00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:58.400
<v Speaker 6>We rose, we rode.

1051
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:02.719
<v Speaker 5>Into uh Missoula, and uh we went and got some

1052
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:03.920
<v Speaker 5>dinner and had some soushi.

1053
00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:04.599
<v Speaker 6>We're like, man, this.

1054
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.360
<v Speaker 5>Is honestly better than any kind of place back at home.

1055
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:09.639
<v Speaker 5>Like it's just what you wouldn't expect and it's just

1056
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:12.239
<v Speaker 5>those little things that you kind of remember and yeah,

1057
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:16.239
<v Speaker 5>and you build those memories with one another and ultimately like,

1058
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:18.400
<v Speaker 5>like you're saying, the racing is great, but it's the

1059
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:20.239
<v Speaker 5>memories you build along the way to and from the

1060
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.760
<v Speaker 5>racetrack that are just invaluable and then something you'll never forget.

1061
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Dude, And you know what I mean.

1062
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.199
<v Speaker 2>And it kind of goes in hand in hand with

1063
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:29.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I try to tell everybody, it's all

1064
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:31.960
<v Speaker 2>about the struggle, man, you know, I mean, at the

1065
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:35.400
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, when you're all said and done,

1066
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:36.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

1067
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:37.679
<v Speaker 1>All the winds are great, it is.

1068
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:40.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm not gonna lie and the good runs

1069
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:43.599
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, but it's the struggle. It's the days in

1070
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the shop, right, It's those times when you're when you're wondering,

1071
00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:50.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, what do we got here? And are we

1072
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:52.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it? And then you go and you do

1073
00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:55.400
<v Speaker 2>something great. I mean, it's it's for me. It was

1074
00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:59.199
<v Speaker 2>always the things that I remember most. They were mostly

1075
00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:03.920
<v Speaker 2>always about the struggling just they ended up being really good.

1076
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Not necessarily they were bad at the time, but at

1077
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, they were really good memories

1078
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:10.239
<v Speaker 2>for sure.

1079
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:13.320
<v Speaker 5>I Mean, I think the the hard times teach you

1080
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.039
<v Speaker 5>and build the character to when you do have the

1081
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:18.559
<v Speaker 5>chances to have those good moments it, let's he soak

1082
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:21.880
<v Speaker 5>those in and enjoy those longer because you never know,

1083
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.280
<v Speaker 5>as we know that this sport is such an up

1084
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:27.960
<v Speaker 5>and down and primarily has downs. I think anybody within

1085
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:30.960
<v Speaker 5>the racing community can agree with that, where you're always

1086
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:33.519
<v Speaker 5>fighting to have those good days. But ultimately, if you

1087
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.000
<v Speaker 5>constroine yourself with the right people and have fun along

1088
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:38.280
<v Speaker 5>the wakes, that's ultimately the number one priority is just

1089
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:39.079
<v Speaker 5>to have fun with it.

1090
00:56:40.199 --> 00:56:41.239
<v Speaker 6>You know, no matter how.

1091
00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.559
<v Speaker 5>Serious we take this or make it like our own

1092
00:56:44.119 --> 00:56:47.199
<v Speaker 5>livelihood of racing, if you can't have fun with it,

1093
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:49.320
<v Speaker 5>there's no reason we should be doing it in the

1094
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:52.480
<v Speaker 5>first place. So having fun through the hard and bad

1095
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.480
<v Speaker 5>or the good and bad time, excuse me, is number

1096
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:56.159
<v Speaker 5>one priority.

1097
00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Amen, as Amen, dude, couldn't have said that better myself.

1098
00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:02.519
<v Speaker 2>So so you guys get down with Berlin, you load

1099
00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:04.960
<v Speaker 2>it in the box, and you're off to Colorado.

1100
00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1101
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:10.119
<v Speaker 5>So we uh, we never came back home, obviously, so

1102
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:15.079
<v Speaker 5>we went along the Northern States over to Michigan, and

1103
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:17.440
<v Speaker 5>then we went and made a pit stop for about

1104
00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:20.320
<v Speaker 5>a week. Patrick he has some family that he hadn't

1105
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:24.920
<v Speaker 5>seen in about fourteen years in Winterset Iowa and just

1106
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:28.519
<v Speaker 5>an old little farmhouse that was an incredible first off,

1107
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:30.599
<v Speaker 5>incredible people to be around it and to have us

1108
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:33.960
<v Speaker 5>play with them and give us a bed and give

1109
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:36.840
<v Speaker 5>us food was just incredible. And they just got done

1110
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:39.480
<v Speaker 5>building the shop on their property and it worked out perfect.

1111
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:41.840
<v Speaker 5>They let us use that to get the car prep

1112
00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.599
<v Speaker 5>for Colorado, so was really cool. Was able to go

1113
00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.840
<v Speaker 5>check off the Knoxville Nationals off my bucket list as

1114
00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:48.800
<v Speaker 5>it was the same weekend.

1115
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh cool man, cool that was.

1116
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.440
<v Speaker 5>That was incredible to go see a different kind of

1117
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:56.880
<v Speaker 5>racing and go see Kyle Larson in his own, you know,

1118
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:57.559
<v Speaker 5>true form.

1119
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.119
<v Speaker 6>So that was honestly that.

1120
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:03.840
<v Speaker 5>The whole fifteen days swing we did was very surreal

1121
00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:06.440
<v Speaker 5>and something I'll never forget.

1122
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Dude, and as it should be.

1123
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Bro Seriously, man, I mean, you know, and and we're

1124
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:13.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna get to Colorado here in a minute. But you

1125
00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:16.280
<v Speaker 2>know it's it's it's I tell everybody this and and

1126
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't. It took me a while because even though

1127
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do it at your level, I used to

1128
00:58:21.519 --> 00:58:23.400
<v Speaker 2>go run with Lamb and I had my little super

1129
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:25.280
<v Speaker 2>sport that I ran every week. But you know what,

1130
00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:28.840
<v Speaker 2>for me, that was my Northwest tour. Right, that's what

1131
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.000
<v Speaker 2>got I could afford, and it's what I could swing.

1132
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:35.960
<v Speaker 2>But and we took it serious. But at the end

1133
00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:40.079
<v Speaker 2>of the day, you know, winning was cool and all

1134
00:58:40.119 --> 00:58:43.480
<v Speaker 2>of that. But I I think I look back now

1135
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and I and I say, holy crap, you know the

1136
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:52.280
<v Speaker 2>fact that I I got to do it, I don't

1137
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.800
<v Speaker 2>even I can't even put a price on that win, lose,

1138
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.360
<v Speaker 2>or you know anything. I mean, we we'd go there

1139
00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:01.840
<v Speaker 2>like everybody does, to go to win. But I mean

1140
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:03.679
<v Speaker 2>I think when you get all done and you look

1141
00:59:03.719 --> 00:59:05.880
<v Speaker 2>at it, I mean, the wins are just a benefit.

1142
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:09.679
<v Speaker 2>All the rest of the shit is. I don't know,

1143
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:11.039
<v Speaker 2>just the fact that you get to sit in a

1144
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:12.760
<v Speaker 2>race car and go do it. I mean, I think

1145
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:15.679
<v Speaker 2>there's I think people kind of lose track of how

1146
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:18.760
<v Speaker 2>cool and how awesome that is, regardless of whether or

1147
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:19.800
<v Speaker 2>not you're winning or not.

1148
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:21.880
<v Speaker 6>No, I mean for sure.

1149
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:26.199
<v Speaker 5>I mean I remember growing up and running quarter minutes

1150
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:27.159
<v Speaker 5>around most of my life.

1151
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:30.360
<v Speaker 6>It was always wishing to be at the big track. Right,

1152
00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:30.960
<v Speaker 6>we'd be at.

1153
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:34.159
<v Speaker 5>Yakama or at Monroe and making a deal with all

1154
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:36.440
<v Speaker 5>the quarter midget parents of all, Right, if we lock

1155
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:37.320
<v Speaker 5>ourselves nay Maine.

1156
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:39.079
<v Speaker 6>We get to go to the big track tonight.

1157
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:42.760
<v Speaker 5>And you know, once I was thankful enough to get

1158
00:59:42.760 --> 00:59:44.639
<v Speaker 5>in that position to go run the big tracks. Now

1159
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:48.119
<v Speaker 5>it's something I think a lot of us take for granted,

1160
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:49.719
<v Speaker 5>is that we do get to go do this, and

1161
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:51.519
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people would kill to be a Arscenaria

1162
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:54.320
<v Speaker 5>to go drive race cars on the weekend, right if

1163
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:55.760
<v Speaker 5>we really want to just dub them down, that's what

1164
00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:58.960
<v Speaker 5>we're doing. So it's something we do take for granted

1165
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.440
<v Speaker 5>for and I think we all just kind of reflect

1166
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.480
<v Speaker 5>on on how fortunate, no matter how much work we

1167
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:04.960
<v Speaker 5>put into it. You know, we're all pre damn fortunate

1168
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:06.119
<v Speaker 5>to be able to go do what we love and

1169
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:08.039
<v Speaker 5>do with the people we enjoy being with.

1170
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 1>God man, I love that.

1171
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:13.760
<v Speaker 2>So you're rolling, so you got a fat belly and

1172
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.519
<v Speaker 2>you've hung out in Iowa, got to see the Knoxville Nationals,

1173
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:21.679
<v Speaker 2>which was cool as ship, and you roll into Colorado.

1174
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>So you unload and what happens from there?

1175
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:28.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so we uh, we unloaded Friday night.

1176
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.800
<v Speaker 5>The The fun thing is, so I'll backtrack to Berlin

1177
01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:36.480
<v Speaker 5>real quick for the last time, is we were on

1178
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:39.760
<v Speaker 5>a complete new tire than we've ever raced on.

1179
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.920
<v Speaker 6>They were the McCreery brand, and oh.

1180
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, were they EC eighty four's no, I'm just kidding.

1181
01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:48.519
<v Speaker 6>That's what people are tracking comparency.

1182
01:00:48.519 --> 01:00:52.639
<v Speaker 5>But they weren't even closed, so I was hoping they'd

1183
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:53.920
<v Speaker 5>be liking but nope.

1184
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:54.039
<v Speaker 4>They were.

1185
01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:54.800
<v Speaker 6>They were wrong on that.

1186
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:57.679
<v Speaker 5>So we we ran those in Michigan. So we got

1187
01:00:57.719 --> 01:00:59.559
<v Speaker 5>to Colorado and we were on the ST one s

1188
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:00.280
<v Speaker 5>T two.

1189
01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, okay, let's let's let's let's stop for a

1190
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>second there. Yep, because at the start of my show

1191
01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:09.719
<v Speaker 2>that was one of the cars tour is going from

1192
01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the ST twos to the F forty fives. Now I

1193
01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:16.719
<v Speaker 2>was asking, I'm glad you brought that up, because I

1194
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>got I got. I mean, I know we were in

1195
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>nine seventies out here, and what's the other one in

1196
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:27.320
<v Speaker 2>a nine or something like that, But what what's an

1197
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>ST two and and what's an F forty five? And

1198
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>why is that substantial?

1199
01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:36.840
<v Speaker 5>It's all under the same umbrella of who's your racing,

1200
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:41.559
<v Speaker 5>So they have a variety of compounds suited to a

1201
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:46.719
<v Speaker 5>specific series. So in the Northwest, you know, even last

1202
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:50.360
<v Speaker 5>year we ran the thirty thirty five thirty forty five compounds,

1203
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:55.440
<v Speaker 5>So it's just it's made it's a different type of mold.

1204
01:01:56.199 --> 01:01:58.719
<v Speaker 5>So ultimately that the easiest explanation I can do is

1205
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:01.639
<v Speaker 5>just a harder, softer tire, Like that's the main difference

1206
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.559
<v Speaker 5>is your your sidewalls will be a little stiffer, a

1207
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.719
<v Speaker 5>little softer compared to a thirty thirty five.

1208
01:02:07.559 --> 01:02:08.519
<v Speaker 6>To an ST one.

1209
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.719
<v Speaker 5>So the S T one ST two series was their

1210
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:16.519
<v Speaker 5>newest model that come out, you know, and the last

1211
01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:19.079
<v Speaker 5>year roughly, and we we debuted that in Northwest to

1212
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:23.800
<v Speaker 5>at Tri Cities. I believe, and I think they're a

1213
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:27.519
<v Speaker 5>great tire. I feel like they've been pretty consistent for us. Obviously,

1214
01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:29.599
<v Speaker 5>each each team is going to have a different story

1215
01:02:29.639 --> 01:02:31.119
<v Speaker 5>based off their experiences, but I.

1216
01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:32.559
<v Speaker 6>Feel like that it's been a really good tire.

1217
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:35.920
<v Speaker 5>We ran those that Evergreen didn't have an issue for

1218
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:39.960
<v Speaker 5>the most part, and uh, it's uh, it's a tire

1219
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:42.480
<v Speaker 5>that I feel like it's been durable. It's got a

1220
01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:45.960
<v Speaker 5>stiffer sidewalk compared to the thirty thirty five thirty five compounds,

1221
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:47.960
<v Speaker 5>so you can run a little bit less ERINGO.

1222
01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Is it repeatable? Is it repeatable?

1223
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:54.840
<v Speaker 5>It depends on how easy you are on I think,

1224
01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:57.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean you can you can go burn them up

1225
01:02:57.159 --> 01:03:01.800
<v Speaker 5>for sure. I honestly, I I love fallof I love

1226
01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:05.320
<v Speaker 5>when it's in the drivers shoes to manage their tires

1227
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:07.159
<v Speaker 5>the best they can. So if you go abuse them

1228
01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:09.159
<v Speaker 5>in the first twenty five laps, like, I don't want

1229
01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:13.199
<v Speaker 5>them to be repeatable. And obviously that's gonna dictate from

1230
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:17.199
<v Speaker 5>serious to series because in my mind's super late Male

1231
01:03:17.280 --> 01:03:20.679
<v Speaker 5>Racing is a premier series for for our full sized

1232
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:24.599
<v Speaker 5>stock cars. You know, it's we're not trying to be

1233
01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:27.000
<v Speaker 5>overly cost efficient on that right, I mean, we're going

1234
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:29.719
<v Speaker 5>through such to tires regardless, So if we're putting the

1235
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:31.119
<v Speaker 5>money in it, like I want to get all the

1236
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:34.840
<v Speaker 5>life out of it and in one weekend. So I

1237
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:39.599
<v Speaker 5>honestly I can say that they can be repeatable throughout practice.

1238
01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:41.239
<v Speaker 6>They can be consistent.

1239
01:03:41.320 --> 01:03:43.760
<v Speaker 5>Each track is gonna have it fall off a little

1240
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.239
<v Speaker 5>harder than others just based off of track wear.

1241
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:48.639
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, I call rado, I.

1242
01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:51.679
<v Speaker 5>Feel like they're fairly repeatable. But you know, when you

1243
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:53.599
<v Speaker 5>get fifty laps into a run, you can abuse them

1244
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:55.440
<v Speaker 5>for sure, and you're really.

1245
01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:56.039
<v Speaker 6>Going to get that back.

1246
01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:58.800
<v Speaker 5>So and I think that was honestly the same story

1247
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:01.079
<v Speaker 5>with a thirty thirty five thirty forty fives. I think

1248
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.360
<v Speaker 5>the this T one s T two is they take

1249
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:05.480
<v Speaker 5>a little bit longer to fire off just because they

1250
01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:08.840
<v Speaker 5>are a little bit of a stiffer tire, But honestly,

1251
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:10.840
<v Speaker 5>grip level wise, once they do come in, it was

1252
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:13.679
<v Speaker 5>comparable and I feel like they falled off relatively the

1253
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:16.400
<v Speaker 5>same compared between the two the two series there, so

1254
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:17.840
<v Speaker 5>I think they were a good tire.

1255
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:20.199
<v Speaker 1>So what's an F forty five Is that the same

1256
01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:22.119
<v Speaker 1>as a thirty five.

1257
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:28.360
<v Speaker 5>It's same principle, they're gonna be stiffer compared to the

1258
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:31.199
<v Speaker 5>thirty thirty five thirty forty fives. That's actually a tire

1259
01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:35.760
<v Speaker 5>that we used to run in the SRL series quite often.

1260
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:40.320
<v Speaker 5>So we used to be before COVID I believe it

1261
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:42.320
<v Speaker 5>was or even started twenty twenty one.

1262
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:42.840
<v Speaker 6>Excuse me.

1263
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:46.519
<v Speaker 5>We ran the thirty thirty five thirty forty fives, but

1264
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:48.719
<v Speaker 5>we got to places like Current County and we a

1265
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:51.400
<v Speaker 5>lot of the teams started having the tires blister and

1266
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:54.800
<v Speaker 5>start coming apart. So you know, they worked with Hoosier

1267
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:57.000
<v Speaker 5>and they come out with a little bit better option

1268
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.199
<v Speaker 5>for us. And a tire that was harder and in

1269
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:02.199
<v Speaker 5>my opinion, kind of hurt the racing a little bit

1270
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:04.440
<v Speaker 5>because you didn't have quite as much fall off, but

1271
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:06.079
<v Speaker 5>the tire hell together, so it was kind of a

1272
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:09.440
<v Speaker 5>dance and act of trying to find the right balance

1273
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:11.480
<v Speaker 5>between the two. But they found their home with the

1274
01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:13.960
<v Speaker 5>f forty fives. In the f fifties is what we

1275
01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:18.599
<v Speaker 5>ran from left to right. So to see back east,

1276
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:20.320
<v Speaker 5>I think you mentioned the cars too, where you have

1277
01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:23.920
<v Speaker 5>going to from the st twos to the forty fives. Again,

1278
01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:26.920
<v Speaker 5>maybe they're having a different issue back there that we're

1279
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.199
<v Speaker 5>not on the West coast. It very well could be.

1280
01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:32.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just not sure, right, but I personally haven't had

1281
01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:33.039
<v Speaker 5>an issue.

1282
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:33.280
<v Speaker 6>With him yet.

1283
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Interesting.

1284
01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, all right, So now that we got the tire

1285
01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>deal out of the way, so you're at Colorado, you

1286
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>roll out of the box.

1287
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Were you good out of the box?

1288
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1289
01:05:44.039 --> 01:05:45.039
<v Speaker 6>You know, it was pretty close.

1290
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:49.320
<v Speaker 5>We had really good notes from last year, and you know,

1291
01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:52.800
<v Speaker 5>we ran second there last year to Jase Hansen, and

1292
01:05:52.880 --> 01:05:55.039
<v Speaker 5>I felt like we knew where we had to be better.

1293
01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:57.679
<v Speaker 5>So we were just waiting all year long to have

1294
01:05:57.719 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 5>the chance to go back, and I felt like.

1295
01:05:59.880 --> 01:06:01.480
<v Speaker 6>We were fairly close.

1296
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:05.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, Port City as a whole has made some

1297
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:08.400
<v Speaker 5>pretty good swings from even just a snowball derby, and

1298
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:11.039
<v Speaker 5>that's information that can be spread across the Port City camp,

1299
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:13.480
<v Speaker 5>which is amazing because it's a one team environment. But

1300
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:17.199
<v Speaker 5>leanedless to say, we really were just a couple of

1301
01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:21.679
<v Speaker 5>adjustments away of being pretty damn good. So, you know,

1302
01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:24.440
<v Speaker 5>I think that all comes down to Jeff Jefferson and

1303
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:26.599
<v Speaker 5>Gary Crooks and the other Port Cities that were there.

1304
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:29.639
<v Speaker 5>Between Blaine Roach and Buddy Shepherd, we were all putt

1305
01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:32.119
<v Speaker 5>it next to one another and trying to feed some

1306
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:35.440
<v Speaker 5>information between the three of us just so we can

1307
01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:37.840
<v Speaker 5>have the best run for Port City as a whole.

1308
01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:41.639
<v Speaker 6>So you know, I think as the.

1309
01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.000
<v Speaker 5>Three three car operation for Port City, I think we're

1310
01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:46.000
<v Speaker 5>all pretty close all be in the top five at

1311
01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:48.840
<v Speaker 5>the end of the night, and it was it was

1312
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:50.039
<v Speaker 5>pretty close off the trailer.

1313
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>So that's awesome, dude.

1314
01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:54.559
<v Speaker 2>So now do they now does the s R Do

1315
01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>they have a halfway break like we do here?

1316
01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:02.000
<v Speaker 5>So they do for that race and Colorado we had

1317
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:05.000
<v Speaker 5>a break at seventy five. It was a four tire race,

1318
01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:08.159
<v Speaker 5>so we were on the same tires from qualifying till

1319
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:08.760
<v Speaker 5>the end of the race.

1320
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:11.239
<v Speaker 6>So we had a halfway break.

1321
01:07:11.400 --> 01:07:13.480
<v Speaker 5>I think it was about five or seven minutes for

1322
01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:18.400
<v Speaker 5>fuel and adjustments, so we honestly, we didn't really adjust

1323
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:19.519
<v Speaker 5>much at the halfway break.

1324
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:20.679
<v Speaker 6>We felt pretty comfortable.

1325
01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.039
<v Speaker 5>So that's that's another thing I enjoyed of it being

1326
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.480
<v Speaker 5>a four tire race is that's something you had to

1327
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:29.280
<v Speaker 5>manage the whole night, right, So I feel like you

1328
01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:31.679
<v Speaker 5>have some scenarios where when you get tires at the

1329
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:34.519
<v Speaker 5>halfway break, it kind of bails some people out and

1330
01:07:34.559 --> 01:07:36.360
<v Speaker 5>you repeat the whole cycle.

1331
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:38.760
<v Speaker 6>Again of saving and when to go and whatnot.

1332
01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:42.440
<v Speaker 5>But it's pretty close to the same structure of what

1333
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.400
<v Speaker 5>we have back home. They do have races where it

1334
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:47.400
<v Speaker 5>can be an eight tire race so they can get

1335
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:49.719
<v Speaker 5>four brand new ones at the at the break, whatever

1336
01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:50.400
<v Speaker 5>lap that is.

1337
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, are you are you a fan of that? Are

1338
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you a fan of the break?

1339
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:56.360
<v Speaker 6>Honestly, I don't mind it.

1340
01:07:58.000 --> 01:08:00.840
<v Speaker 5>I think, uh for for AE hundred and fifty laps,

1341
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:03.800
<v Speaker 5>I think we could be just fine going straight through.

1342
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:09.639
<v Speaker 5>If you're struggling in the first part of the race,

1343
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:12.000
<v Speaker 5>like you want that option to work on it, right,

1344
01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:15.039
<v Speaker 5>So it just kind of depends on what what side

1345
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.520
<v Speaker 5>of stick you're on in that given the night, it

1346
01:08:17.680 --> 01:08:19.800
<v Speaker 5>just ever so happened for us to be where I

1347
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:21.840
<v Speaker 5>would have loved for it to go green to check her,

1348
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:24.279
<v Speaker 5>but that just wasn't the case.

1349
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:26.079
<v Speaker 6>And they do the same thing as we do.

1350
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:29.560
<v Speaker 5>Back home, where every X amount of laps consecutive green,

1351
01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:31.039
<v Speaker 5>they're going to throw a competition yellow.

1352
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:35.079
<v Speaker 1>So what is that? I mean, what now? I mean,

1353
01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:36.079
<v Speaker 1>are you a fan of that?

1354
01:08:38.520 --> 01:08:40.960
<v Speaker 6>The same deal? I think it depends on what side

1355
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:41.920
<v Speaker 6>of the line.

1356
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>You're on, all right, I mean, I mean, if you're junk,

1357
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:47.039
<v Speaker 2>you want that, right. They're the same as the halfway break.

1358
01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:53.680
<v Speaker 5>But I mean, isn't Honestly, as as a driver, I

1359
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:56.359
<v Speaker 5>want to do what's best to make the most entertainment

1360
01:08:56.880 --> 01:08:59.439
<v Speaker 5>and as as we're there to do to have fun,

1361
01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:01.920
<v Speaker 5>right and and go win races. But at the same time,

1362
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:05.359
<v Speaker 5>if we can't have a product that entertains the fans

1363
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:07.840
<v Speaker 5>that come out and spend the money with the racetrack,

1364
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:10.039
<v Speaker 5>if we can't give them a good product, and there's

1365
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:12.920
<v Speaker 5>no reason to be out there. So I think if

1366
01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:14.880
<v Speaker 5>we can spice it up by doing a top eight

1367
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:17.800
<v Speaker 5>redraw or having a halfway break or throwing a yellow

1368
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:19.640
<v Speaker 5>every forty laps. I think that's what we have to

1369
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.439
<v Speaker 5>do if that creates the best product. If it doesn't,

1370
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:25.399
<v Speaker 5>then I think we need to have a different conversation.

1371
01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:28.479
<v Speaker 5>I think the blessing and disguise is if you can

1372
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:31.399
<v Speaker 5>do it and steer away from tearing up race cars,

1373
01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:34.000
<v Speaker 5>and I think it's a win where you can run

1374
01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 5>into issues as you start bunching the field up and

1375
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:39.560
<v Speaker 5>you're starting to wreck race cars, right. I think we

1376
01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:43.960
<v Speaker 5>saw that at Tri Cities, So I think, truthfully I

1377
01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:49.239
<v Speaker 5>would love to extend the rule on fifteen laps to go,

1378
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:52.319
<v Speaker 5>we won't do it. I think if you put that

1379
01:09:52.359 --> 01:09:54.920
<v Speaker 5>at fifty to go, I'm just fine with that because

1380
01:09:54.920 --> 01:09:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I think that that puts the leader at a disadvantage

1381
01:09:57.680 --> 01:09:59.520
<v Speaker 5>when they work so hard to get the track position

1382
01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:02.640
<v Speaker 5>and then there everybody bail him out with a fifteen

1383
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:05.520
<v Speaker 5>left shootout. I think that's where it gets Harry. So

1384
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:09.439
<v Speaker 5>I think it's still in development. In my opinion, it

1385
01:10:09.479 --> 01:10:11.640
<v Speaker 5>can always be fine tuned. There's always room to grow

1386
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:14.880
<v Speaker 5>in any series, right, right, right, But that's just kind

1387
01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:16.880
<v Speaker 5>of my two cents, Like I want to do what's

1388
01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:17.960
<v Speaker 5>best for the fans and.

1389
01:10:18.479 --> 01:10:20.720
<v Speaker 6>If they want a damn fifteen left shootout, we're gonna.

1390
01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:21.079
<v Speaker 5>Give it to them.

1391
01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, dude, I I mean, you know what I'll

1392
01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>be I'll be honest.

1393
01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I do. I see both sides of it.

1394
01:10:27.640 --> 01:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>But when a guy's worked his ass off and he's

1395
01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>got a you know, half a straightaway lead, right, I mean,

1396
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:37.079
<v Speaker 2>that's just like, that's just like one of those cautions

1397
01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:39.119
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to see, right, It's the same thing.

1398
01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, man, you've worked this hard to get where

1399
01:10:42.359 --> 01:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you're at, only to have it just gobbled up and

1400
01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>taken away. And I guess but on the flip side

1401
01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of that is, if you're really that good, you'll go

1402
01:10:50.600 --> 01:10:53.239
<v Speaker 2>ahead and do it again, as we saw with like

1403
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:56.960
<v Speaker 2>why Gardner over there in the prolate race. But exactly,

1404
01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>But I mean still, I mean, uh, I like you said,

1405
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it's all on which side of the stick

1406
01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:05.039
<v Speaker 2>you're on. If you're on the good side, you don't

1407
01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>want it, and if you're on the bad side, you're like, hell, yeah, let's.

1408
01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:10.359
<v Speaker 6>Do it for sure? For sure?

1409
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that makes good sense. How good did it feel

1410
01:11:14.520 --> 01:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to win that?

1411
01:11:16.520 --> 01:11:17.239
<v Speaker 6>It was awesome?

1412
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:17.479
<v Speaker 3>It?

1413
01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know it's probably hard to put into words,

1414
01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:23.319
<v Speaker 1>but it is you.

1415
01:11:23.319 --> 01:11:25.800
<v Speaker 5>Know, honestly, anytime you can go in a race, it's

1416
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:28.079
<v Speaker 5>it's huge, right, and you never know when the next

1417
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:30.159
<v Speaker 5>one is going to be, and it's been the last

1418
01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:32.920
<v Speaker 5>two years has been truly incredible, and actually even extend

1419
01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:35.359
<v Speaker 5>that to three years.

1420
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:37.279
<v Speaker 6>Just to see the hard work.

1421
01:11:37.039 --> 01:11:41.520
<v Speaker 5>That's put in and just the the effort that all

1422
01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:44.319
<v Speaker 5>my guys put into a weekend. It's it's nice and

1423
01:11:44.359 --> 01:11:47.039
<v Speaker 5>rewarding to see their emotion and reaction out of it

1424
01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:49.199
<v Speaker 5>as much as it is for me, Like I just

1425
01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:51.560
<v Speaker 5>enjoyed taking the whole moment in and seeing the joy

1426
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:55.079
<v Speaker 5>it brings everybody and and the benefits that it has.

1427
01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:57.479
<v Speaker 5>And when you can go do that a at a

1428
01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.720
<v Speaker 5>good pain event, you know that helps us how as

1429
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:04.279
<v Speaker 5>a team, tremendously. So to finally get an s r

1430
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:06.720
<v Speaker 5>L win. My brother and I were doing the math

1431
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:09.239
<v Speaker 5>on I think it's been about eight years between the

1432
01:12:09.239 --> 01:12:12.199
<v Speaker 5>two of us once he started doing an s r L.

1433
01:12:12.359 --> 01:12:15.119
<v Speaker 5>Race to Colorado is about an eight year swing of

1434
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:18.039
<v Speaker 5>not having a win as a family within that series.

1435
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:20.359
<v Speaker 5>So it was incredible to finally have have one of those,

1436
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:24.760
<v Speaker 5>and you know, you never know how many more chances

1437
01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:28.399
<v Speaker 5>you have in that scenario. I mean, Derek Thorn used

1438
01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:30.479
<v Speaker 5>to be class of the field when he was running

1439
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:33.079
<v Speaker 5>with them consistently, and he was kind of doing a

1440
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:35.600
<v Speaker 5>little Jimmy Johnson era. I felt like, for like, you're

1441
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:37.920
<v Speaker 5>running for second if he's showing up in that series.

1442
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:41.560
<v Speaker 5>So it was it was great to finally do it

1443
01:12:41.600 --> 01:12:44.239
<v Speaker 5>with the competition that was there. You know, we had

1444
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:47.960
<v Speaker 5>we had Dawson Sutton with gractically war Racing come out

1445
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:50.920
<v Speaker 5>after their their race got rained out in Ouasso in Michigan,

1446
01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:53.680
<v Speaker 5>so they came out for the first time in Colorado

1447
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:57.399
<v Speaker 5>and he that's a strong contending team when it comes

1448
01:12:57.399 --> 01:12:58.680
<v Speaker 5>to the Snowball Derby.

1449
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:00.920
<v Speaker 6>So it was it's great to see where.

1450
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:03.760
<v Speaker 5>We stacked up against them, and you know, can I

1451
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:05.640
<v Speaker 5>take what we need to learn from it and hope

1452
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:07.920
<v Speaker 5>we can continue the strong speeding.

1453
01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:11.319
<v Speaker 2>So what's what's next for the the rest of you?

1454
01:13:11.399 --> 01:13:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to do the derby again this year?

1455
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:15.399
<v Speaker 3>You gonna that?

1456
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:16.520
<v Speaker 6>That's my plan right now.

1457
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:20.560
<v Speaker 5>So we're gonna be off until October eighteenth. There is

1458
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:24.479
<v Speaker 5>a Car's Tour event in uh Las Vegas their debut

1459
01:13:24.520 --> 01:13:27.359
<v Speaker 5>in the Super Late Model race there for their annual

1460
01:13:27.399 --> 01:13:29.399
<v Speaker 5>Fall Classics. So that's gonna be great to finally be

1461
01:13:29.479 --> 01:13:31.720
<v Speaker 5>back at the Bowl Ring. That's the track I grew

1462
01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:34.600
<v Speaker 5>up racing on in legend cars. So that's gonna be

1463
01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:37.000
<v Speaker 5>our next one. And then after that we're gonna be uh,

1464
01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:39.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, full full, fully locked in and eyes forward

1465
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:42.640
<v Speaker 5>for for the Snowball Derby and try and get ourselves

1466
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:43.640
<v Speaker 5>back into that race again.

1467
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Dude, are you gonna be ready for those forty five?

1468
01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:49.239
<v Speaker 6>I'm ready for whatever.

1469
01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>No, man, that's that's freaking awesome.

1470
01:13:53.399 --> 01:13:55.119
<v Speaker 2>And lastly, I just got to ask you, did you

1471
01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:58.880
<v Speaker 2>ever think because I remember I I'd go to Portland

1472
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and I think I went to Monroe and I see

1473
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.239
<v Speaker 2>you and your brother's names up on the board, you know,

1474
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:08.039
<v Speaker 2>for all these track records and stuff, and you know,

1475
01:14:08.079 --> 01:14:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you guys were I mean, you guys were solid back then.

1476
01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean you and people say, wow, God, they were

1477
01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:16.239
<v Speaker 2>just a little kid now now, No, even as little kids.

1478
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean I went up to the grants this year, dude,

1479
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:23.239
<v Speaker 2>there were some kids there that were like, I mean,

01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:28.439
<v Speaker 2>you're like what right? I mean just the just the

<v Speaker 2>and this kid's only you know, twelve years old.

1485
01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's it's it's almost like mind blowing.

1486
01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Really.

1487
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:48.479
<v Speaker 5>It's crazy how young they're threting and how professional they're getting. Yes, yeah,

1488
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:51.039
<v Speaker 5>and not only as as the young kid and driver,

1489
01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:54.039
<v Speaker 5>but just the whole family operation is is crazy.

1490
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:56.079
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's there.

1491
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:58.159
<v Speaker 5>They're showing up to their own Dayton of five hundred

1492
01:14:58.199 --> 01:14:58.600
<v Speaker 5>every week.

1493
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.239
<v Speaker 2>It seems like, I know, I mean I'm watching some

1494
01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of these kids and I'm like, wait what I mean

1495
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:07.920
<v Speaker 2>it was? It was so cool and Whytt Gardner was there,

1496
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:10.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, and he made the he made the statement

1497
01:15:10.399 --> 01:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to me that you know, this track and quarter midget

1498
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:17.199
<v Speaker 2>tracks everywhere, I mean, they can't go anywhere because the

1499
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:23.039
<v Speaker 2>whole sport as a whole will suffer both dirt and asphalt. Right,

1500
01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.319
<v Speaker 2>there's so many. I mean, look at the kooies, right,

1501
01:15:25.359 --> 01:15:30.079
<v Speaker 2>they're over there in the trucks doing their thing. And dude,

1502
01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean and then you got wagering the Legends and

1503
01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:37.520
<v Speaker 2>you got you know, uh, the the other loose Jayden

1504
01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Lewse that's been killing it. I mean, man, dude, you

1505
01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:45.399
<v Speaker 2>take that away and and I don't know, Bro, I

1506
01:15:45.399 --> 01:15:47.439
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't know. I don't know where stuff comes from.

1507
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:49.359
<v Speaker 2>If if that goes by bye, you know what I mean?

1508
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I mean I think I think, uh, you

1509
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:54.359
<v Speaker 5>know you and Wide are right. I hope it never

1510
01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:57.800
<v Speaker 5>goes anywhere. I don't think it will. But I mean

1511
01:15:58.119 --> 01:16:01.479
<v Speaker 5>quarter Midgets was able to build so many long lasting

1512
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:04.439
<v Speaker 5>friendships for me and and people that have become like family.

1513
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean you look at the Hilliers and and and

1514
01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:09.680
<v Speaker 5>even the Borden family and even look at Levy Jones

1515
01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:10.560
<v Speaker 5>and his family.

1516
01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:12.920
<v Speaker 6>But you know, I really look.

1517
01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.760
<v Speaker 5>At Rob Yeger and Gavin and Carson and Peebee like

1518
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:18.680
<v Speaker 5>they there's so many great people that have come from

1519
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:23.479
<v Speaker 5>Quartermages that whether they continue racing, you know, further into

1520
01:16:23.560 --> 01:16:26.039
<v Speaker 5>their life or not, Like, it's just their long lasting

1521
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:30.159
<v Speaker 5>relationships that have gotten so strong. And that six month

1522
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:32.960
<v Speaker 5>span of quarter midged season is and you go travel

1523
01:16:32.960 --> 01:16:35.520
<v Speaker 5>the country country with one another and it's just it's

1524
01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:39.800
<v Speaker 5>a fun environment. If you take the racing away from it,

1525
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:41.520
<v Speaker 5>the whole family atmosphere is great.

1526
01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:43.800
<v Speaker 6>I hope that still is the case today.

1527
01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:47.279
<v Speaker 5>But I just remember growing up and getting out of

1528
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:48.960
<v Speaker 5>the car and go playing with my friends out in

1529
01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:51.000
<v Speaker 5>the woods or whatever the case may be, and just

1530
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:53.119
<v Speaker 5>having fun as a kid at the racetrack.

1531
01:16:53.199 --> 01:16:55.199
<v Speaker 6>Like that's what we all grew up on.

1532
01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:57.319
<v Speaker 5>Was having fun with it, and I think, as I

1533
01:16:57.359 --> 01:16:59.960
<v Speaker 5>mentioned earlier, that's number one priority, and some people lose

1534
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.960
<v Speaker 5>that as they get older. But if at one point

1535
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:05.640
<v Speaker 5>in your life you can really just reflect on where

1536
01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:09.319
<v Speaker 5>you came from and realize this is why you fell

1537
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:11.840
<v Speaker 5>in love with it, and you can slowly get back

1538
01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:13.800
<v Speaker 5>to it as you get older and keep that same

1539
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:14.760
<v Speaker 5>mindset moving forward.

1540
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:15.560
<v Speaker 6>It's just important.

1541
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:18.039
<v Speaker 2>It is did you ever Did you ever think you'd

1542
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>be here when an SRL races back then?

1543
01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:24.560
<v Speaker 5>I honestly, when I was about five years old, I

1544
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:25.119
<v Speaker 5>thought I was.

1545
01:17:25.079 --> 01:17:26.720
<v Speaker 6>Playing basketball my whole life.

1546
01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:28.239
<v Speaker 1>You were a hooper.

1547
01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:31.680
<v Speaker 5>I played basketball in the off season just to keep

1548
01:17:31.720 --> 01:17:35.000
<v Speaker 5>the competitiveness in me, and I finally got taller. I'm like,

1549
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:37.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, maybe I got to think about a different career,

1550
01:17:37.199 --> 01:17:41.479
<v Speaker 5>but no, in all seriousness, it's racings consume my whole life,

1551
01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:43.760
<v Speaker 5>and I've met so many great people from it, and

1552
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:46.279
<v Speaker 5>it's made our families so much closer. I mean, that's

1553
01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:50.079
<v Speaker 5>what we grew up doing, right, So my goal was

1554
01:17:50.119 --> 01:17:53.960
<v Speaker 5>to always go as far as I could, and I'm

1555
01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:56.479
<v Speaker 5>just incredibly thankful for the ride I've been on. And

1556
01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:59.520
<v Speaker 5>no matter how far it may go, or if this

1557
01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:01.560
<v Speaker 5>is as far as I do go, I think I'm

1558
01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:03.960
<v Speaker 5>going to be very well pleased for for what I've

1559
01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:05.720
<v Speaker 5>been able to accomplish with the people I have been

1560

1627
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.079
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of people don't know that. They

1628
01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:44.319
<v Speaker 2>think Dapper is a super fan, and he is a

1629
01:21:44.359 --> 01:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>super fan. But the guy's been around the block, he's

1630
01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:55.840
<v Speaker 2>worked on race cars. He's uh, he's no dummy.

<v Speaker 1>Let me just put it to you that way.

1632
01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:01.279

1633
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:04.159
<v Speaker 2>will ever know, just because of his contacts and the

1638
01:22:20.199 --> 01:22:23.159
<v Speaker 2>He puts his own money in there and buys decals

1639
01:22:23.199 --> 01:22:29.159
