Speaker 1: What up, Dylan Rupert's up? James Dorman? That'd be birthday, brother?
Speaker 2: Oh that was your brother, Larry Jr. Well happy birthday
Speaker 2: to you anyway. But it's really unsung, right you you
Speaker 2: you we go to races and we sit in the
Speaker 2: stands and we you know, we indulge in some adult
Speaker 2: liquid beverages and sometimes it makes us brave, and you know,
Speaker 2: we get to chat. But you know, really we go
Speaker 2: there in the stands, we pay our money, we sit
Speaker 2: there and we watch some really good racing, right, we
Speaker 2: watch our favorite people. We're all excited, yes, you know,
Speaker 2: and then when it's all over, we take off and
Speaker 2: we get in our cars and we take off.
Speaker 1: We don't think about all of the stuff that it took.
Speaker 2: Before we got there, the track prep, the you know,
Speaker 2: the meal prep, the concessions, the the worry, the oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, the back gate and getting all the pit
Speaker 2: passes right, and you know who's free and who's on
Speaker 2: the list and who isn't on the list, and you
Speaker 2: know it's my flagman here, and do we have you know,
Speaker 2: our corner piece.
Speaker 1: You know all that stuff, it just goes unseen.
Speaker 2: And then we get all done, and we hopefully we
Speaker 2: all throw our trash in the garbage and we jump
Speaker 2: in our cars, we take off, and we don't even
Speaker 2: think about all of the stuff that goes on once
Speaker 2: the races are over. You got to tally points. You
Speaker 2: gotta tally the money. You got to give out the money.
Speaker 2: You gotta make a post that to see who won.
Speaker 2: You gotta make sure the grand stands are clean and
Speaker 2: the garbage cans are dumped, and everything's like, I mean,
Speaker 2: you get where I'm going. It's it's really a lot
Speaker 2: and and and I think a lot of us sometimes
Speaker 2: we get in our soapbox or our high horse and we.
Speaker 1: We wanna we.
Speaker 2: We want to talk shit about these guys. But I'm
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's a thankless job, and it's a
Speaker 2: hard job, and they're doing it not just every now
Speaker 2: and then. I mean they're trying to do this each
Speaker 2: and every week throughout the summer. And so I just
Speaker 2: wanna I just want to shout out. You know, you
Speaker 2: gotta get ads out, you gotta get uh things on
Speaker 2: social media so people want.
Speaker 1: To come you. I mean, it's a lot.
Speaker 2: I mean I just do my show and and I
Speaker 2: don't even probably do that as good as I should.
Speaker 2: It wasn't for Dapper, probably nobody would even know. But
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is those guys have an amazingly tough job.
Speaker 1: Each and every weekend.
Speaker 5: They're doing that weekend and week out.
Speaker 2: You know what is that twenty twenty six, you know,
Speaker 2: thirty thirty six weekends out of the year.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy how much work they put in.
Speaker 2: You know, you got to get your people, and you know,
Speaker 2: everybody needs to get paid. And somebody calls out sick,
Speaker 2: and I mean, we just don't know. And so I
Speaker 2: just want to shout out all all of the promoters
Speaker 2: here in the Northwest, from Roseberg to down and Bend.
Speaker 2: You know, just everybody you got are amazing. Your race
Speaker 2: tracks are spotless when we show up. The pit areas
Speaker 2: are always nice. There's you know what I'm saying, There's
Speaker 2: there's merch there for us to buy. There's for the
Speaker 2: most part, really good food there for us to buy.
Speaker 2: There's cold beer for us to drink. I just got
Speaker 2: to say, I'm I'm in awe of all of them,
Speaker 2: and I love and respect all of them, and they
Speaker 2: just need to get shouted out because it is a
Speaker 2: And whether you're karting or whether you're doing big cars,
Speaker 2: or you're doing you know, whatever you're doing.
Speaker 1: Just out at Rainier.
Speaker 2: You know, Jennifer Johnson's are scoring, and and you know,
Speaker 2: you've got Lippy they're working.
Speaker 1: And and and Anna.
Speaker 2: Singleton doing you know, driving and making sure her daughter's
Speaker 2: racing too, making sure she's good, and putting out fires
Speaker 2: and making sure people are got pit passes and and
Speaker 2: nobody's trying to sneak it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy. And so these these people.
Speaker 2: We we need to, I mean, we really do need
Speaker 2: to stand up and give these folks a standing ovation,
Speaker 2: because seriously, we would have nothing.
Speaker 1: Without them.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm Matt Streeby up there at Streamby Speedway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a big deal. It's not a big
Speaker 1: huge thing.
Speaker 2: But every weekend, that guy goes back and watches film
Speaker 2: so he can figure out who led this lap. He
Speaker 2: can tell you, he can tell you how many laps,
Speaker 2: how many laps the champion led all year, He can
Speaker 2: tell you who led lap one through whatever. I mean,
Speaker 2: he goes back and watches film on this stuff to
Speaker 2: make sure that he has those stats. And I'm telling
Speaker 2: you it, it's, uh, we overlook that way too much.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to be the dead horse, but
Speaker 2: we really do. We overlook that way too much. These
Speaker 2: people are putting their heart and souls in this. Hopefully
Speaker 2: they're getting paid, but you know, it's it's a tough
Speaker 2: deal too, right. You got to make sure your employees
Speaker 2: get paid, then you get paid. And so I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a lot. So a big shout
Speaker 2: out to all the promoters, all the people that work
Speaker 2: the track. Hey, Ricky, what's up, buddy, Ricky Whorley, my
Speaker 2: man Midnight Motorsports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of volunteers.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, uh, we need to stand up
Speaker 2: and give these race tracks a huge round of applause,
Speaker 2: right because, uh, it's it's pretty impressive what they do
Speaker 2: each and every week, each and every week, right, so
Speaker 2: and and and that's that doesn't even count listening to
Speaker 2: all the bitch and all the stuff on Facebook and
Speaker 2: the keyboard Warriors.
Speaker 1: You know, always.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, there's always a better way when you're
Speaker 2: not doing it. It's a lot harder when you got
Speaker 2: to do it. And I think most of these people
Speaker 2: are doing the best that they possibly can. And I
Speaker 2: think for the most part, they have they have everybody's
Speaker 2: best interest in mind. Okay, yeah, there might be a
Speaker 2: few that are. You know, there's always a there's always
Speaker 2: a few bad apples. I don't know any, at least
Speaker 2: not around here, but we just need to stand up.
Speaker 2: I applaud them greatly because the job they've done all
Speaker 2: year long is just incredible. And that and and like
Speaker 2: I said, and that goes for all the people that
Speaker 2: are working there, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got guys like Kenny Burns and Sandy.
Speaker 2: Allen and Alan Haynes, you know, and Stormy Martin and
Speaker 2: they're all doing pictures and I mean, and I'm missing
Speaker 2: some people too.
Speaker 1: There's GM Ballard.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many, you know, elevate media, rattlesneak media.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so many.
Speaker 2: People all putting stuff in to uh, to try to
Speaker 2: make this all go right. It's it's everybody putting their
Speaker 2: little piece into the pie to make it the best
Speaker 2: they can for for everybody. So Kravitz, what's up?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 2: Thank you big don No, it's just obvious when you
Speaker 2: really stop and look at it. None of these guys
Speaker 2: get enough credit. Coming up at seven fifteen, I love
Speaker 2: them all, by the way too. Seven fifteen, we got
Speaker 2: Renee angel U as Grand Nationals winner. Here sheet is is,
Speaker 2: let's welcome into the show. Oh you're twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Race winner Redy Agent. Oh my god, how huge?
Speaker 5: Just this girl?
Speaker 4: Oh my god. I still can't believe it.
Speaker 2: You better believe it. I mean, you know how many
Speaker 2: times you've been there and been close or been decent
Speaker 2: or been decent and then not or missed it or
Speaker 2: I mean, this is I mean, this is huge.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually a Mayage saying we're talking about this last night,
Speaker 4: and I think this win is actually bigger than b
Speaker 4: K was. B K was an emotional man, but it
Speaker 4: wasn't you know. I mean, there was a couple of
Speaker 4: fast guys. There. There was a bunch of people, but
Speaker 4: only a couple of fast guys. And I mean realistically,
Speaker 4: out of the field from Saturday, there was probably twenty
Speaker 4: guys that could have won it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and and and so you know, and
Speaker 2: there was and let's let's be real here.
Speaker 1: I mean, there weren't a lot, but what was there
Speaker 1: was really good?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, you know what I mean. I think it
Speaker 4: was probably the most stacked field that I have ever
Speaker 4: raced with, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean there was Southern, there was Fremandez, there was Huddle,
Speaker 2: there was Nick Moore, there was Cody Welker, there was
Speaker 2: Uh Servantes, there was you know, I mean, He's christ
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there was a bunch there. You know,
Speaker 2: Travis Hooper. I mean yeah, there was just a bunch
Speaker 2: of good cars there.
Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So what my question what happened to Huddle? Because I
Speaker 2: know he was quick qualifier?
Speaker 1: Was he not?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was, he was a quick qualifier. He won
Speaker 4: the dash and he thinks there was something that went
Speaker 4: bad with the fuel pump. Okay, But the way I
Speaker 4: look at it, it's a typical US race. You got
Speaker 4: to be there at the end.
Speaker 1: You know what, Renee.
Speaker 2: I saw Nick Moore and he was posting up his
Speaker 2: stuff and that was one of the That was one
Speaker 2: of the first things that I said was to finish first.
Speaker 2: You got a first finish, so focus on longevity as
Speaker 2: well as speed, right, I mean yep.
Speaker 4: And I was actually kind of worried once we got there.
Speaker 4: So that's the same motor that I ran at BK,
Speaker 4: and it was in the same configuration and at BK
Speaker 4: that thin got two hundred and sixty degrees during the
Speaker 4: main So Resty kind of clued me in, like, hey,
Speaker 4: you need to put a radiator fan on it when
Speaker 4: you put a nosewing on it, because it blocks a
Speaker 4: bunch of air. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 4: doesn't it. So I had a radiator fan on it,
Speaker 4: and that thing saved my butt during the main event,
Speaker 4: because every time we'd get a yellow, that thing would
Speaker 4: just jump up and get hot and the fan and
Speaker 4: kick on and would stay there.
Speaker 5: Great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: So now did Huddle I didn't see it, So did
Speaker 2: Huddle jump out and then break?
Speaker 4: He was? He? I mean there, I wasn't going to
Speaker 4: catch him. He was checked out. I he'd pull about
Speaker 4: five cart lengths and just kind of stay there. Every
Speaker 4: time we had to restart same thing, he'd just kind
Speaker 4: of jump out there and just hang there. And and
Speaker 4: once it started a sputter, I kind of I kind
Speaker 4: of noticed. I'm like, wait, am I going faster? Or
Speaker 4: is he going slower? And then I kind of smelled
Speaker 4: something weird and it's like, okay, is it his blowing
Speaker 4: up or what's going on here? And then like shut
Speaker 4: off going in to turn one, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: how do I get around him now? Because I don't
Speaker 4: want to get out of the groove. And I didn't
Speaker 4: know who was behind me and how close they were,
Speaker 4: so I was kind of right, had had to make
Speaker 4: a quick decision. Wow.
Speaker 2: And then and then he finally what did he make
Speaker 2: it a couple laps or did was that kind of
Speaker 2: like once it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he ran a couple more laps and
Speaker 4: then pulled in the enfield because he was four laps
Speaker 4: down at the end.
Speaker 2: Now I read Chris Southern's post and it sounds like
Speaker 2: he was maybe okay too, but kind of had some issues.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm not.
Speaker 4: I know there was a little contact going on in
Speaker 4: the group. That he was in. Yeah, and I know
Speaker 4: from watching him in practice on both Friday and Saturday morning,
Speaker 4: I'd say he was a little off on his tire
Speaker 4: program because he'd rip off a couple of really good
Speaker 4: laps and then just kind of back up to like
Speaker 4: you know, fifteen threes or whatever and just kind of
Speaker 4: hang there. Right, So he was definitely fast. I mean,
Speaker 4: he had potential, but I think over the long run, right, right,
Speaker 4: he wasn't quite up to up to what everybody else was.
Speaker 2: Right, And you know, and I think he, like he said,
Speaker 2: it was his last race, so you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: there's there's a little bit of that in there too.
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, I'm not gonna break my back and
Speaker 1: all this.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go exactly.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's uh. What about right now? What about Fernandez?
Speaker 4: Was?
Speaker 2: He He was good? He qualified third, He was good.
Speaker 4: Sam was the one that was absolutely impressive. He did
Speaker 4: he had motor problems. I think they changed motors. He
Speaker 4: didn't get to qualify or running heat race. He started
Speaker 4: last in the B main and finished third in the A.
Speaker 1: What Yes, holy smoke.
Speaker 4: I was on fire.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, that's super impressive.
Speaker 4: Yep, yep. Definitely.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and I'm I'm happy for.
Speaker 2: Mister Cervantes, right, I mean, yes, pretty pretty cool. I
Speaker 2: mean it would have been cool if if you could
Speaker 2: have got it. How many how many points did you
Speaker 2: lose by?
Speaker 4: I remember it was six?
Speaker 1: Jesh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was Fernandez and then Corey and Sam
Speaker 4: actually tied, but Corey finished second, so he got the tiebreaker,
Speaker 4: so he ended up second point. Sam was third, and
Speaker 4: then I was fourth.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's big.
Speaker 4: And considering I went in with one hundred and ninety
Speaker 4: four points because I didn't run the second quarter point
Speaker 4: race at Tennessee, I only know four bonus point.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's even more impressive.
Speaker 4: Then.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Wow, we're gonna We're gonna concentrate a little
Speaker 6: more on on US stuff next summer and run more
Speaker 6: of that kind.
Speaker 4: Of backburner, the Clone. And if we do run any
Speaker 4: Clone races, since I won't have a tire rotation, I'll
Speaker 4: just do a tire rental deal with one of the
Speaker 4: one of the dealers, and yeah, have to worry about that.
Speaker 4: And then we'll run some outlaw cart stuff. Milbridge was
Speaker 4: talking about running more open races, so we'll do some
Speaker 4: of that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I mean I and I think
Speaker 2: and maybe correct me if if I'm out of line here.
Speaker 2: But the uas or you know, the outlaw stuff, or
Speaker 2: even the clone stuff for that matter, it's almost like
Speaker 2: playing a sport. You have to kind of pick. You know,
Speaker 2: back in the back in the day, you could there
Speaker 2: were three sport athletes, you know, basketball, baseball, football, right, yep,
Speaker 2: the same here, clone, outlaws or uas. But now you
Speaker 2: almost have to pick one or the other, right, and
Speaker 2: really and really focus on that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the clone stuff you basically have to race every
Speaker 4: weekend and then have your eight to thirteen week tire rotation.
Speaker 4: And I don't want to raise clones every weekend, right,
Speaker 4: And and the u s stuff is a little easier
Speaker 4: because I mean, basically you destroy a tire when you
Speaker 4: raise the main avan anyhow, so the rotation isn't as important.
Speaker 4: It's more the tribal knowledge of the track and what
Speaker 4: it's going to do and what you're gonna need.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of the racetrack, I mean, I know it
Speaker 2: was you know, and you know, going in, everybody thought
Speaker 2: it was going to be over one hundred, but really
Speaker 2: it looked like the weather was I mean, what it
Speaker 2: was like eighty three or eighty five or.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Friday, I think it was ninety six. The Saturday
Speaker 4: was ninety ninety four, ninety five on my weather station. Okay,
Speaker 4: nice little breeze blowing, which didn't help the.
Speaker 2: Track any No, not if you're running it to hold water, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but what about at night when it when the sun
Speaker 2: went down a little bit?
Speaker 1: What did it help it at all?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely it was there still had a little bit
Speaker 4: of dust in the second groove, but as far as
Speaker 4: like the grip on the bottom, it was like day
Speaker 4: one of a holiday classic. So it was, I mean
Speaker 4: it was. It was pretty good. If you didn't blow
Speaker 4: turn three, you had no problems. It was like turn
Speaker 4: three was a little bit slicker than one, Yeah, and
Speaker 4: had a tendency to kind of want to make you
Speaker 4: slide up and then you get in the dust and
Speaker 4: it was ugly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, so was it pretty much a I'm
Speaker 2: gonna assume it was pretty much a dry, slick deal
Speaker 2: the whole way for the twenty five laps.
Speaker 6: It started out a little bit slick, but I mean,
Speaker 6: as far as I was driving like nine the whole race,
Speaker 6: just conserving my tires trying to kind of run consistent.
Speaker 4: Laps, and it was as much power as I wanted
Speaker 4: to put down, it would hold it.
Speaker 2: So, now are you talking when you say it was
Speaker 2: a little bit slick at the beginning? Was that just
Speaker 2: because they had put water on it? Was it like
Speaker 2: a wet slick or was it more of a dry slick?
Speaker 4: Now it's more like a wet just kind of like
Speaker 4: a fine dust. Yeah, and a little moisture in there too.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah boy wow. And then and were there a
Speaker 1: lot of cautions.
Speaker 4: Like six or seven? I was horrible. I mean we
Speaker 4: had we had a couple of pretty good long runs there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: It wasn't like caution one lap caution one.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah where you can't get a rhythm or
Speaker 1: do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So overall, in your opinion, was it run well?
Speaker 4: There was a couple of little snaffoos, like on the
Speaker 4: the heat race lineup. I helped them write the lineup
Speaker 4: on the board because nobody, you know, Mike was up
Speaker 4: in the tower. And then the first heat race went
Speaker 4: out and they read flagged it because they had Mike
Speaker 4: actually had the wrong lineup. I'm like, no, I know
Speaker 4: this is right. I watched him when he read the
Speaker 4: numbers off, and it was I think it was just
Speaker 4: an unfamiliarity with my laps because we use it every
Speaker 4: time we go race. They don't have lineup boards there,
Speaker 4: so you have to learn how to use it. And
Speaker 4: they had actually select did the wrong qualifying result on
Speaker 4: the the.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, yeah they didn't have They.
Speaker 4: Missed southern second lap, which rearranged a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4: And so but I mean other than that, it's like
Speaker 4: just the the sign in process and the tech process
Speaker 4: and everything. Other than that was like just spot on.
Speaker 2: That's great, man, you got to love yeah, and I
Speaker 2: think what so, Michael Lane was there, Chisey was there.
Speaker 1: Who else from the Grand National team was there?
Speaker 4: Bowley was there, but he is I don't believe he's
Speaker 4: involved in it anymore.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, cool. Yeah, Chisey did a nice job. I
Speaker 1: liked this. You know, he does a He does a
Speaker 1: good job getting things up there. It was really that
Speaker 1: was cool.
Speaker 4: And as far as tech, I mean, it was as
Speaker 4: fast as you could get your motor disassembled. He's right
Speaker 4: over there with his tools and they had it the
Speaker 4: formula on a laptop, so they type in the born
Speaker 4: stroke and poof, there was your number.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's great. Yep, super good man. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: Then it sounds like that was so overall.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that's a w right.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, yep, yeah. And I mean they put
Speaker 4: in new lights in the pit area, so it was
Speaker 4: like we did we just turned on our trailer lights
Speaker 4: and that was it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. And the weather was great. It wasn't
Speaker 2: too hot, wasn't did it cool off at night or
Speaker 2: did it stay warm?
Speaker 4: It was I think in like the sixties, I mean
Speaker 4: like it you remember.
Speaker 1: How we were like at the Classics.
Speaker 2: You know, you go there and it'd be like eighty
Speaker 2: five during the day and then shit, you need a
Speaker 2: jacket and sweats and a park at night.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Definitely was not that cold.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was borderline having to put a hoodie on
Speaker 4: for me, which I'm climatized to Tennessee now, so anything
Speaker 4: below seventy is is hoodie weather.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm right there with you. Even in seventy weathers
Speaker 2: sometimes I just put one on just to be on
Speaker 2: the safe side. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how happy was Shane I'll bet he was
Speaker 1: just beside himself.
Speaker 4: He was speechless. I mean, he just the look on
Speaker 4: his face when I went to get a hug, he
Speaker 4: was just like on the verge of tears. And there's
Speaker 4: there's been a couple of times where we've been talking
Speaker 4: about it and he's had to stop because he's he's
Speaker 4: choked up.
Speaker 1: That's so cool, Yeah, yeah, you know, isn't it great
Speaker 1: to have somebody.
Speaker 2: I mean, we all make fun of Shane and we say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he drives the motor home and you know he packs
Speaker 2: the cooler and all that shit.
Speaker 4: You know, But I mean he keeps me as far
Speaker 4: as mentally and the decisions I make during range day,
Speaker 4: he keeps me in line. Like the first time we
Speaker 4: went out Friday, the thing wasn't running right because it
Speaker 4: was jetted wrong. So he's like, yeah, you need to
Speaker 4: fix that first, right, Yeah, okay, yep, yeah, let's reach
Speaker 4: ot it. And then we went out and it's like, okay,
Speaker 4: now now we can change jeerying and setup and anything
Speaker 4: else we need to change, but if it don't run,
Speaker 4: you can't work on other things. And what's funny is
Speaker 4: I've run. I think this is my sixth or seventh
Speaker 4: Grand National. Now, you know, from East coast to West coast, Yep,
Speaker 4: I have never had to read yet a Carburder until Saturday.
Speaker 1: Right, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: I mean that's how bad the error was there, and
Speaker 4: it was just like kind of a wow, Okay, I
Speaker 4: actually do have to work on it now.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
Speaker 2: I mean, my boy, Shane, you know, That's what I'm
Speaker 2: saying is a lot of times he doesn't get the
Speaker 2: he doesn't get all the I don't want to say acolades,
Speaker 2: but sometimes all the respect he deserves. The guy sharp,
Speaker 2: and he knows and he knows what he's talking about,
Speaker 2: and he's you know, he's watched he's watched a ton
Speaker 2: of stuff. Yeah and so, and he's got a real
Speaker 2: level head when it comes to you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: those decisions. He never gets too excited or he's never
Speaker 2: too low. He's always like, Okay, here, here's where we're at,
Speaker 2: here's where we got.
Speaker 1: What do we gotta do? I mean, that's yep.
Speaker 2: One of the things I admire most about him is
Speaker 2: he's super uh just he's the kind of level head
Speaker 2: you need when you're at an event like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, definitely. He doesn't get excited about anything, well.
Speaker 2: Usually right unless he's seeing me. No, I'm kidding, no,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that's that's really cool. I mean that is
Speaker 2: that's that's now. Where are you guys at now?
Speaker 1: You're on the road. Are you back home yet?
Speaker 4: No? We are in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: We have a casino that we stop at here when
Speaker 4: we run the Ela cart here in the winter. And
Speaker 4: we've got a late start Sunday, so we only got
Speaker 4: to New Mexico, the almost New Mexico Texas border. So
Speaker 4: he's like, I don't want to drive seventeen hours tomorrow,
Speaker 4: so we'll stop in Oklahoma. And that's fine with me.
Speaker 1: I don't know we were we were sure to do,
Speaker 1: would have a team.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm not.
Speaker 4: So far.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think he was putting sixteen seventeen and we're on
Speaker 2: our way to Florida with no problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's what right?
Speaker 4: And doing you know, like ten hour days is a
Speaker 4: lot more enjoyable because you can actually look around and
Speaker 4: you don't have.
Speaker 1: To Yes, yeah, I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2: Well, before I let you go, is there is there
Speaker 2: other than your other than your hobby? Is there anybody

Speaker 3: huge congrats to Renee. We I've raced with Renee for
Speaker 3: longer than either of us care to admit.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: I grew up in the grand stands at Evergreen Speedway
Speaker 3: watching Shane drive a late model car to success.
Speaker 4: It's just that's super cool.
Speaker 3: They're really good people.
Speaker 4: I love to see it.
Speaker 3: But there were so many people that had great success
Speaker 3: down there, the whole Savante's team, Like they're they're such
Speaker 3: good people. To see Sam have that run, that's super cool.
Speaker 1: Corey Hostler, yes.
Speaker 3: Like Corey is such a good dude. He's so underspoken
Speaker 3: and his wife was like the world's greatest, like, uh,
Speaker 3: pit past person I've ever encountered in my whole career.
Speaker 4: Just super super good people.
Speaker 3: Cody Welker whom we know. Well, you know, it's just
Speaker 3: such a cool event. I we watched from Afar.
Speaker 1: We were in Canada.
Speaker 3: The service was kind of spotty, so we tried to
Speaker 3: follow along. I wish we were there, but it's pretty
Speaker 3: pretty great to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it it really was.
Speaker 2: And how about Ryan Fremandez, you know, getting that getting
Speaker 2: that championship, that's you know, that's that's a huge, huge deal.
Speaker 4: For Ryan, right heck, yeah, man, such a good guy.
Speaker 1: He is such a good dude.
Speaker 3: The cool part and I don't think everybody truly appreciates
Speaker 3: It's the cool part about like everybody we were just
Speaker 3: talking about is they're really good race car drivers, but
Speaker 3: they're even better.
Speaker 1: But they're also better humans. Yes they are, they are
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: So man, your twenty twenty four was like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I mean it kind of Ronnie Swire says, Hello, Tony Berry.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like, I don't know, it kind
Speaker 2: of came as a surprise, right, I mean, none of us.
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing, you're preparing for the UAS and
Speaker 2: getting all into that, and then boom, the next thing,
Speaker 2: I know, you're, you know, driving a WMRA midget and
Speaker 2: I'm like wait what, Yeah, no, me too.
Speaker 3: We went down to the Holiday Classic in December and
Speaker 3: had a great time down there at the track you're
Speaker 3: just talking about for the Nationals, And on our way back,
Speaker 3: Kylie Fleming and I were on our way back and
Speaker 3: Skeeter Flake, whom I knew from driving against him in
Speaker 3: like two thousand and six and two thousand and seven
Speaker 3: in a midget. You know, he grew up in the
Speaker 3: sport as a crew guy and then as a racer
Speaker 3: and then as a car owner. And you know, we
Speaker 3: we'd stayed in touch and just kind of going back
Speaker 3: and forth, and he had an opportunity to maybe jump
Speaker 3: in one of his cars, and you know, I'm never
Speaker 3: one to say no wow, So so yeah, we just
Speaker 3: got to talking about what might be, what could happen
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, and you know, we went ran
Speaker 3: the BK with the Yamaha in the open and had
Speaker 3: a great time and kind of geared up to go
Speaker 3: run a midget. And it was a great year. We
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun, We had great success, got
Speaker 3: better as year went on. Yeah, And it finished this
Speaker 3: last weekend in Canada, which I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 3: been to Agacy it is spectacularly beautiful.
Speaker 6: I have not.
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot about it, but I I have not.
Speaker 5: Honestly, it needs to be on your list.
Speaker 3: You were talking about promoters earlier, and people do a
Speaker 3: great job, they have to be on the list. They
Speaker 3: have a sign posted out front that says.
Speaker 5: You can't complain if you haven't volunteered.
Speaker 4: Amen. And uh.
Speaker 3: And it's beautiful. It's set in the hillside and the
Speaker 3: track has a ton of character. It's kind of uphill
Speaker 3: and downhill and each end's different.
Speaker 1: Wow, it sounds amazing.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's it's terrific.
Speaker 5: We had a great time.
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe you could give me the contact info
Speaker 2: for the YEA promoter up there and I'll get I'll
Speaker 2: get him on the show.
Speaker 1: Would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2: What all I know is Brian Evans Junior says, hey, Tony,
Speaker 2: shut up and shut up. He's shut up and drive.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually, you know what I was getting in the car.
Speaker 3: We were in Canada.
Speaker 4: I'm getting in the car.
Speaker 3: I'm no joke.
Speaker 5: I pull my phone out of the pit box.
Speaker 3: And I texted him that because he was getting getting
Speaker 3: ready to roll for the for the U A s
Speaker 3: open Man. So Oh really, Yeah, I texted him, I said,
Speaker 3: shut up and drive, but the phone away and I
Speaker 3: went and put my helmet on.
Speaker 1: Hey that's cool, man, that's super cool.
Speaker 2: So man, you you got the you got the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four WMRI Championship, and you got the Car Owners
Speaker 2: Championship as.
Speaker 5: Well, right we did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Skeeter Flake. You know, like I said, he's been
Speaker 3: in the game a long time and he cares so
Speaker 3: much about the sport, and he's really behind an effort
Speaker 3: to try to grow pavement midget racing, particularly on the
Speaker 3: West Coast, but really nationally. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: followed it much, but when Usack dropped a pavement midget
Speaker 3: racing a number of years ago, it really started declined,
Speaker 3: which is too bad because it's such a cool form
Speaker 3: of motorsport. The WMRA has been around since nineteen forty six, yep,
Speaker 3: and and it's it has such longevity and such a
Speaker 3: brand name, and it puts on a really great event.
Speaker 3: And I think there's a lot of reason for optimism.
Speaker 3: You know, there's there's more people that are caring, there's
Speaker 3: more people that are looking to see what's going on.
Speaker 3: These cars are a lot of fun to drive. I've
Speaker 3: driven a lot of stuff. I've been blessed drive a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff. I still love going go kart racing,
Speaker 3: but pavement midget's really a unique beast and it's just
Speaker 3: really cool.
Speaker 1: That's that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Well, and so in the in the in the five
Speaker 2: minutes we have left, I know it's gonna be hard
Speaker 2: because that's but I'm gonna get you back on because
Speaker 2: we're gonna do We're gonna do Championship Week where the
Speaker 2: shows are going to be longer and we can get
Speaker 2: into more detail about how the season.
Speaker 1: Went and all that. But sure the w m r
Speaker 1: A regionally, what you you might have some you're working
Speaker 1: on some things maybe.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, well, I mean, like I said, there's tons
Speaker 3: of reasons for optimism. So I think there's a play
Speaker 3: day going together. Uh probably like mid October. We're still
Speaker 3: sort of waiting on to finalize some dates.
Speaker 4: But the whole idea is.
Speaker 1: Trying to get what will that play day be at?
Speaker 5: At House Sound Speedway cool.
Speaker 3: A lot of the midget teams are are predominantly on
Speaker 3: the I five corridor, so if we could get back
Speaker 3: to kind of that area and and get people in
Speaker 3: cars that you know, maybe otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity
Speaker 3: to do it. You know, I have a unique perspective.
Speaker 3: I've driven a lot of stuff and and and going
Speaker 3: from a cart or a quarter midget to whatever the
Speaker 3: next level stepping stone is. I think that's really the
Speaker 3: dilemma that a lot of people are faced with. Do
Speaker 3: we go legend racing, do we go late model racing?
Speaker 5: You know, what do we do?
Speaker 3: I think midgets offer a really unique perspective that should
Speaker 3: be explored. You have to be super smooth on and
Speaker 3: off throttle, the sting inputs are really quick. It's just
Speaker 3: really more similar to what I think a lot of
Speaker 3: these kids coming through the ranks have experienced. And I
Speaker 3: think that's what we're trying to grow, is to generate
Speaker 3: new interest in pavement midget racing in the Northwest.
Speaker 1: And let's not kid ourselves, Tony, excuse me.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you you you moms and dads
Speaker 2: can get through the quarter midget ranks, right or the
Speaker 2: carting ranks or or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But typically it's that next step that is.
Speaker 2: The next step is very very large and and and
Speaker 2: not necessarily I mean it is from the competition standpoint,
Speaker 2: But a lot of times it's that it's that.
Speaker 1: Dollar step, right, That's that's what that's where it is.
Speaker 1: That's where it is.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the dollars and cents and can can
Speaker 2: mom and dad continue to fund.
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where I think, that's where racing is
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a ton of stuff going on, but
Speaker 2: my goodness, I mean, and and I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: downplay or put anything against anything, it's just the sport
Speaker 2: has evolved and the expenses are enormous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, everything's expensive. I mean my meal red Robin
Speaker 3: the other night was under Bucks. Everything's expensive. But I
Speaker 3: think one of the things that's kind of maybe been
Speaker 3: a hardship for some people to look at, you know,
Speaker 3: midget or sprint car racing, to be honest, is the
Speaker 3: fuel injection. You know, it's it's a huge unknown for
Speaker 3: a lot of people, and how do we get this
Speaker 3: thing tuned right? And not just that, obviously there's other variables,
Speaker 3: but right right, you know, there's a lot of people
Speaker 3: that care. I think there's a lot of people with
Speaker 3: knowledge that want to share that. And I think that's
Speaker 3: what's really cool about where the midget group is positioned currently,
Speaker 3: is that there's just a lot of people that that
Speaker 3: want to see it grow. I want to see it
Speaker 3: come back and become what it was, you know.
Speaker 2: How cool would and this. And I'm not joking when
Speaker 2: I say this. If Ricky Whorley jumps in one of
Speaker 2: those things, I think, I think he I think he
Speaker 2: could be some serious trouble.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's on the list.
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: He is.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's underrated in my book, always has been. He's
Speaker 2: he's way better than he gets. Yep, he gets.
Speaker 1: He's way better than he gets credit for, honest to God.
Speaker 3: No, he's he's he's a stud. I in a funny story, Terry.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, but before the
Speaker 3: DK he saved my behind and and got us even
Speaker 3: on the track in the open car.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then we get out in the main and I
Speaker 3: dumped him like he's one of my very best friends.
Speaker 3: I just I just ran in the back of him
Speaker 3: like I've got no business doing anybody. And uh, he
Speaker 3: ended up getting back by me and I jumped out
Speaker 3: of the car literally on the at the scales, and
Speaker 3: I ran up to him and I said, I'm so
Speaker 3: I've never been so happy to be passed.
Speaker 6: In my life.
Speaker 3: I I, uh, he's Ricky's a good dude.
Speaker 5: He is good.
Speaker 1: He is a good dude.
Speaker 2: Oh and my last question before I let you go
Speaker 2: tonight is Mike Bartle says, ask Tony about his jack man.
Speaker 5: Mike is my jackman?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no. So funny story.
Speaker 3: So we had a we were running the Wings sprint
Speaker 3: car at stay Line one night and we had an
Speaker 3: open red and the rule is is you know, it's
Speaker 3: it's hand tools only, and uh and Mike's a really
Speaker 3: a large human being, and uh, he came out. He's
Speaker 3: like what do you what do you want to do?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, I want two turns here and
Speaker 3: two turns there, and you know.
Speaker 4: I'm just giving him the rundown.
Speaker 3: And he just walked back there and picked up the
Speaker 3: whole back of the car full fuel load and me
Speaker 3: in it and wing and everything, and we started making
Speaker 3: turns and everybody threw a fit and and we were like, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's hand tools. Like I'm sorry, you get a bigger
Speaker 3: crew guy.
Speaker 1: So, oh wow, that's amazing. It was fun.
Speaker 4: It's still a good time.

Speaker 5: the leader and got a run, got on the inside
Speaker 5: of him and he tropped me off and I spun
Speaker 5: him out, ripped the right front finger off of it
Speaker 5: and had to come to Pitt Road and they sent
Speaker 5: me to the back anyway, So I came down Pitt
Speaker 5: Road and got things worked on a bit and charged
Speaker 5: right back up to the field. You know, that was
Speaker 5: on about lap that happened on lap five. I was
Speaker 5: back to uh you know the lead by lap fifty.
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 1: Was it one hundred or one five? Oh okay, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, just.
Speaker 5: Kind of we didn't make any changes at the break.
Speaker 5: I told Dayne Sharp, you know, you know things really good,
Speaker 5: just fix it and make it, you know, bodywork stuff.
Speaker 1: And well that's what Sharp just said.
Speaker 2: He said, made some changes Saturday morning, so he had
Speaker 2: to take one lap to figure it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all it took me.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Ostramenska helps us out getting the cars ready. He was around,
Speaker 5: so he practiced it for us with those changes we made,
Speaker 5: and he said it was good. So I was just
Speaker 5: relying on what he said and went out there for
Speaker 5: full fine and laid it down as hard as I could,
Speaker 5: and we got past that halfway break and I were
Speaker 5: still really good and got out to your good sized
Speaker 5: lead and kind of just managed that lead the whole time.
Speaker 5: You know, if they catch me, you know, trial hard.
Speaker 5: You know, I had the best car there, so just
Speaker 5: keeping a good distance on them so that when I
Speaker 5: caught lat of traffic, I didn't you know, lose too
Speaker 5: much time if they held me up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's all about
Speaker 1: that pace, right.
Speaker 5: Yep, yep, yes, And they had a really hard battle
Speaker 5: behind me, and I was just praying, you know, we
Speaker 5: got to about fifteen ago. I said, there's no costumes, please,
Speaker 5: there's this thing. Yeah, out please, you know, I started
Speaker 5: getting getting towards the end and started thinking about all
Speaker 5: that bad luck I've had, you know, and I'm like, oh, please, know,
Speaker 5: you know, no fight tires, no stupid stuff. Just get
Speaker 5: a win. Finally we deserve it. We've been waiting, you know,
Speaker 5: so long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy, I.
Speaker 5: Bet you if we didn't have some of the bad
Speaker 5: luck we had last year, and you know, I think
Speaker 5: we could have had another five wins, you know, of course,
Speaker 5: but uh yeah, that's how that's a racing for you.
Speaker 2: No, it is that that is there, you know and
Speaker 2: honestly blamed, like you know, there's more of that than
Speaker 2: there is what you got last weekend, right, I mean
Speaker 2: there's just that's just that just seems like that's but
Speaker 2: you know what, everybody pays their dues, and I think
Speaker 2: I just think, uh, like like what you've just done, right,
Speaker 2: you You've had You've led some races, been fast as ship,
Speaker 2: and then you know whatever, flat tire or whatever, some
Speaker 2: stupid thing lets you down.
Speaker 1: But I think I think that's.
Speaker 2: Those are the those are the due paying processes that
Speaker 2: you go through and now you know, you know what
Speaker 2: to do to win. And I and I think now
Speaker 2: now that you've overcome all that and paid those dues,
Speaker 2: I think maybe from now on right, things are gonna
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're not gonna have any more bad luck,
Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna say that it does. I don't
Speaker 2: know that it gets easier. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: get what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of opened the door. Now, Yeah you got
Speaker 5: that monkey off our back, and I think they're gonna
Speaker 5: come a little bit easier.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what that's what I mean, they have to
Speaker 2: write and all of those things that went bad are
Speaker 2: now things that are on your list that you're gonna
Speaker 2: check and make sure that that's you know, it doesn't
Speaker 2: happen again.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think there's there's a blessing and all of that
Speaker 2: too if if a guy chooses to look for it,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah for sure.
Speaker 5: And U you know, now we we strenched up the
Speaker 5: points battle pretty good. We got one race left and
Speaker 5: I'm in second by one or I'm down by one
Speaker 5: point right now.
Speaker 1: So so how many? How many? How many?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: Is this that Stockton? Oh you're down one?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So and how many more to go?
Speaker 5: Just one left? We're at in Bakersfield on October twenty six?
Speaker 1: Are you good there?
Speaker 5: Yeah? We were, We've been good there. That's one of
Speaker 5: the places last year dominated it and with four laps
Speaker 5: Ago got it right front flat didn't get to finish
Speaker 5: that one out, So no, I'll have we'll have a
Speaker 5: good car there and yeah, you know, we know who

Speaker 5: him by one spot. So so who do you need
Speaker 5: to be, Buddy Shepherd?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He's good there too, So I think it's gonna be
Speaker 5: a good race. He just recently got into the Port
Speaker 5: City program, so you know, he's kind of a teammate
Speaker 5: to me now. But it's pretty awesome. We're getting the

Speaker 5: we kind of want something with struments a racing Now
Speaker 5: we kind of trickled back and uh, it's just one
Speaker 5: big family. Well, those guys everything, all the effort they
Speaker 5: put in. You know, it's hard for us for you know,
Speaker 5: I'm running our business now and trying to uh, you know,
Speaker 5: be a be an adult. It's different, you know, like
Speaker 5: you you see me grow up racing go cards. You know,
Speaker 5: all I've known is racing and time to grow up. Eventually,
Speaker 5: wasn't the worky ones with all you know, the backing
Speaker 5: stuff to make it to the next next level. But
Speaker 5: a really enjoyable hobby for me now and all of
Speaker 5: our partners and people that help us out. It's I
Speaker 5: don't know, it's just so much fun to go to
Speaker 5: the race track with all them and hell yeah, I dude, yeah,
Speaker 5: ws and you know, there's no better showing than when
Speaker 5: especially with a good group of people. Right on.
Speaker 1: So, now, what's the family business.
Speaker 5: I'm a four generation Uh, I'm I'm a four generation
Speaker 5: trucking company. Okay, so you know day to day management
Speaker 5: on that stuff. And I drive a bit myself.
Speaker 2: But uh, is your stick shift? Is your stick shift
Speaker 2: like twelve feet tall? Like they are in that in
Speaker 2: the trucking things that I always see on Facebook. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: I look at some of those things man in there,
Speaker 2: I mean sitting down there, as tall as the driver's head.
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like whoa.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they say, what are things about?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Jesse Brown says, bring that thing to
Speaker 1: the fall classic? Yeah, have you thought about it?
Speaker 5: Well, where's where's the fault class cities?
Speaker 1: Sharp's been there, he knows it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's I think it's a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: It's like October fifth and sixth.
Speaker 5: I want to say, gotcha, Yeah, no, I'm gonna be
Speaker 5: uh gotta be around for a little while. We've got
Speaker 5: two more races on the schedule for the year.
Speaker 1: And I get it. That's cool. I get it.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: You know, it's not with the way that economy isn't everything, dude,
Speaker 5: I get it, man, No hard to go. You know,
Speaker 5: we wish we could have went and done the snow
Speaker 5: water every this year, but you know, just kind of
Speaker 5: not in the cards for the year, and hopefully after
Speaker 5: November we get some short people to make things a
Speaker 5: little better.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, man.
Speaker 2: So now is the nucleus of this team staying together
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. I'm confident. You know, I think I
Speaker 5: don't know what racings, what tour racings to be like
Speaker 5: in the West next sure, but you know, a lot
Speaker 5: to see about that, and I gotta make a plan
Speaker 5: in the first of the year, you know, and see
Speaker 5: some schedules and see what what works out for us,
Speaker 5: and you know, try to get some sponsorship stuff lined
Speaker 5: up to you know, help out with everything, and we'll
Speaker 5: kind of see. You know, it's a lot of a
Speaker 5: lot of tire controversy going on across the country, and
Speaker 5: you know, you know, I know we've ran on four
Speaker 5: or five different colors about three now, three different compounds
Speaker 5: in the last four races. You know, so hard hard
Speaker 5: to make cars better when you don't know what you're
Speaker 5: going to be on yep, yep, Yeah, but no, it's
Speaker 5: just part of it. I hope things change up a
Speaker 5: bit and things are go on start going on the upside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you know, man, I mean, I mean there's
Speaker 2: a lot of guys that that that are doing the
Speaker 2: karting thing, and some are going to legends and some
Speaker 2: are going to the midgets and you know, open wheel
Speaker 2: stuff and you know whatever.
Speaker 1: But in your mind, has karting.
Speaker 2: Has karting helped you as a as a driver when
Speaker 2: when you're up here running your late Model, I mean,
Speaker 2: do you do you feel like that?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: And though I think a lot of the stuff that
Speaker 5: I look, I don't know from driving go carts for
Speaker 5: so long, so a lot of the stuff that I
Speaker 5: try to get out of a stock car on an oval,
Speaker 5: you know, some of that feel I like that came
Speaker 5: from go carts, you know, mm hmm. Lot of that
Speaker 5: just raw grip and side by and stuff that it's
Speaker 5: harder to get in the race car unless perfect, you know, correct,
Speaker 5: And you know, just the engineering concept, how much more
Speaker 5: goes into the shop far stuff and you know, tuning
Speaker 5: on a go cart to make it better?
Speaker 1: God? Do you know what though?
Speaker 2: Man, I hear you say that. You know, and I
Speaker 2: remember when I was first doing go karts, it was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, when were you born.
Speaker 5: Ninety eight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so back in the late seventies early eighties, I
Speaker 2: can remember doing the go kart thing, like running the
Speaker 2: big open stuff, one hundred cc open stuff, and you
Speaker 2: know what, nobody gave two shits about the chassis.
Speaker 1: Really, I mean it's nothing like it is now.
Speaker 2: If you had a big motor and some real good
Speaker 2: sticky tires and you could halfway drive, you were probably
Speaker 2: gonna win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nothing.
Speaker 2: Like it was when when I met you and we
Speaker 2: you know, we were doing you know, there was the
Speaker 2: all that ro Tax Challenge series crap and all that.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the chassis stuff, that's what blew me away.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I mean, you know, extra long hubs,
Speaker 2: extra short hubs, I mean, soft axle, solid axel.
Speaker 1: I mean there's all this stuff, and it was kind
Speaker 1: of like we didn't care. I mean, we had an
Speaker 1: inch in a quarter and you put sticky tires on
Speaker 1: it went and ran it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know exactly. Yeah, And I I still follow
Speaker 5: all the go karting world, you know, and stuff and
Speaker 5: it seems like it's really blown up. It's a big
Speaker 5: you know, every it's more of a you know, there's
Speaker 5: a lot of page drivers now and stuff like that
Speaker 5: where you know, it's a pretty big sport. And no,
Speaker 5: it's just cool, especially you know, growing up erations and
Speaker 5: go cards against you know, a lot of these kids
Speaker 5: that are up in the top series, you know, Indy
Speaker 5: Car Formula one.
Speaker 1: So who are some of that? Who are some of
Speaker 1: your toughest competitors in carting?
Speaker 5: Oh, in karting? You know, I can remember the cadet
Speaker 5: days of you know, me and Colton hurda wow, you
Speaker 5: know in uh who else Zane Smith? Me, Colton Hurd
Speaker 5: is Zane Smith. You know, even Davy Manti.
Speaker 2: Davy Man was Yeah, he was, you know, and there
Speaker 2: was no I'm uh. There was a kid by the
Speaker 2: name of Matt Monice who was up here for he
Speaker 2: was one of the Him and Manthi were two of
Speaker 2: the best junior drivers I'd ever seen in the new
Speaker 2: in the New day, right, I mean they were money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, that's incredible.
Speaker 5: I remember going to Supernationals and got hearts and you know,
Speaker 5: racing against George Russell Stroll Wow. All those guys that
Speaker 5: are you know, Kyle Kirkwood, any car driver. Now, all
Speaker 5: those guys that I grew up with, you know, I
Speaker 5: get to sit on the couch and now and watch
Speaker 5: them on Sundays and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Tune and said I used to I, yeah, some of them.
Speaker 1: You might have worked their ass, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he used to. You know, we all used to
Speaker 5: compete hard and stuff. Yeah, you know, it's been cool.
Speaker 5: It's been a cool ride. I don't regret a dame thing.
Speaker 5: It's been fun. And you know, I'm happy that I'm
Speaker 5: twenty six years old still and still able to something.
Speaker 5: You know, it's not a funny, easy thing for everyone
Speaker 5: to be able to do all the time. And you
Speaker 5: know I do it a lot less than I used to,
