SPEAKER_03 1:25

Anyway, we are firing on all cylinders here on episode 41 at right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. But uh Josh, Jonathan, Trevor, and uh man, boys, we had a couple nights racing.

SPEAKER_07 1:42

Somebody got some hardware.

SPEAKER_03 1:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:44

In some really funky ways.

SPEAKER_03 1:48

Well, I was thought I was gonna start with Tuesday, but oh, you're going back to okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:52

Well, we might as well go back to recap the Harris Clash.

SPEAKER_12 1:54

Yeah, because there's some shit I want to bitch about about that. Let's we are we are firing up.

SPEAKER_03 2:01

I didn't say it was a bad bitch. I said bitch. It's a good bitch. Understood. Yeah. Um but yeah, so I mean, we had Harris Clash on Tuesday, Bobcat goes up Thursday, Friday, come back Saturday, different story. We'll get into that in a little bit. But uh man, uh this week has it has to be just because the clash, but it seems like this week kind of flew by.

SPEAKER_07 2:29

Midweek race, it always does that to me. I got past it and it was like, I don't know what day it is, and you know, go back to work for a couple days.

SPEAKER_12 2:37

You guys must not work real hard because it drug on for me. Did it? Yeah, you guys must just be floating away.

SPEAKER_03 2:42

Well, I did stop by the shop the other day. Yeah, we had some awards that were made for the Boone Baseball Club 9U team, and uh I had to interrupt uh Matt on his lunch break while he was trying to eat a sandwich. And well, I come rolling in and there's nobody there, and called I called Jonathan. He's like, hang on, bud, I gotta make a peanut butter and jelly. I'll be there in a minute.

SPEAKER_12 3:07

But grandma got me a thing of uh raspberry, homemade raspberry jam. Seedless? Oh no, it's got seeds. Yeah, no, it's old school, it's OG shit. I mean, she's been making this since like 1953.

SPEAKER_07 3:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 3:22

Okay. So when she does that, I mean, I'm we're pretty much on a peanut butter and jelly until the jar's gone.

SPEAKER_07 3:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 3:28

So I had I get home, Cook calls, I'm like, oh man, I just left for lunch, you know. And uh so I grabbed me old peanut butter and jelly and the old how you doing, and headed back up to the shop. Crunchy or smooth? I'm a smooth guy. Okay, that's otherwise, otherwise, well, something I mean, crunchy.

SPEAKER_07 3:48

You gotta have something. I that's we never have it in my house because nobody in my house will eat it. But when I have my preference, it's crunchy. You guys must trust your dogs a lot. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 3:58

Yeah, well, you gotta be careful because if you get too much on there, they start to nibble because it's your dog. Yeah, that's right. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 4:10

You can do it because it's your dog. That's right. Oh, no, we get it.

SPEAKER_12 4:14

But but the Harris Clash, I mean, uh I was a little disappointed with car count. Um, I thought there was gonna be more stock cars. We lost uh what'd we lose? 20? 19. We lost 19 stock cars.

SPEAKER_07 4:27

What do you think that's for just think that's the date? I don't we were talking about it ourselves. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_12 4:32

You know, I think that um date, uh, maybe just I think what's going on is there's so many big shows that are, you know, people are prepared for that. Like here next week or in two weeks. Well, first of all, Friday we leave to go to the North Dakota tour. That pays pretty well all week long. You get back from the North Dakota tour, and we've got Boone County uh out there in Nebraska. They're racing for 10 grand. And they're racing at Beatrice, I believe, for 16,000 for modes. Jeez. And and then and then you got Harlan racing for five grand on Wednesday, Thursday for the mods and the stock cars, plus Lucas Oil will be there at the same time. So I don't know if it was necessarily a scheduling issue. Like, I personally, first of all, let's just elaborate on this. It was probably the nicest Harris Clash for weather.

SPEAKER_07 5:22

Oh, it was beautiful. That was gorgeous. So nice beautiful.

SPEAKER_12 5:26

I used to like we always look forward to going to the Harris Clash, but at the same time, I always hated it because I needed a bottle of powder and a new pair of shorts by the time I got back. As if it was tomorrow. That's what I'm saying. Oh yeah. Well, nowadays they'd probably would have called and been like, well, you know, it's too hot out for you guys. So and it's people that are sit in the booth and that are air conditioning, this isn't at you two, that make those calls. And it's like, really? Like, we can all bring water.

SPEAKER_04 5:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 5:55

Uh I didn't see Bill Davis or Wayne Larson or Mark Noble or Tommy Meyer, or you guys want me to keep going?

SPEAKER_04 6:04

No.

SPEAKER_12 6:05

Okay. Uh, them bitching about how hot it was back in the 90s when we didn't have and and I tell you what, the the fans still showed up back in those days, too. The concession stands did a little bit better because they were selling more waters and body blah. Speaking of the concession stand, hold on for a minute. I've got a new idea. We're gonna talk about it later.

SPEAKER_05 6:24

Don't let me forget.

SPEAKER_12 6:27

Yeah, I do need a pen. Get it over here, Josh.

SPEAKER_07 6:29

We definitely uh, you know, back in the day, those Knoxville, like we talked about with the Knoxville ones that are hottest. Those were the hottest just sat in those bleachers, and I mean terrible roast and big. Yeah, you didn't miss it.

SPEAKER_12 6:41

Like it was when the sun went down, it was like, oh yeah, spread the leg out. Boys, let's get the AC on here for about 1015 before the future started.

SPEAKER_07 6:49

Yeah, it was a big competition to get the shade up the top to get there, but well, and we've historically never um lost much for crowd or cars in the heat.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

Cold, yes. Cold's different, cold sucks. Cold will run off race cars, cold will run off.

SPEAKER_07 7:13

It didn't it didn't used to, right? Back in the day, nothing did. Like, I mean serious, like 99, 2000 Frostbusters, it didn't matter. Well, you know why everybody was there? Well, there wasn't because they didn't have these exactly right here. That's exactly right.

SPEAKER_03 7:26

That's why back in the day, in my opinion. It's the same thing that DJ was talking about. You have constant entertainment on your phone or whatever else, and I don't know. Like, like I said, the the car count for the clash was still good. It was good. It was still good. Oh, yeah, yeah, but compared to last year, how the bar got set so high, I'm sitting there just watching it. I'm like, ah, you know, I was a little bit disappointed, but it wasn't like, but then you put it in perspective, right? Like, it's still good.

SPEAKER_07 7:54

Yeah, oh yeah, it was good.

SPEAKER_12 7:57

Yeah, it was absolutely good. And what I noticed in the pit area uh was we lost a lot of our local guys that didn't come. Because I'm thinking, you know, when we were talking about it when Bob was on the show, I'm like, we're getting 50 stock cars weekly, yeah. Right, right. Or 40. Like we've there hasn't been a time since IMCA implicated the 40 car rule uh to run double features to where we've had to run a B-bane.

SPEAKER_04 8:24

Right.

SPEAKER_12 8:24

Like we've always been at that 40. Like here the last two weeks we've been 40, 40, you know. Um so I was like expecting, I'm like thinking, man, I mean, surely we're gonna pour pull more than basically we only got 22 more extra cars. And that's I mean, but I didn't see a lot of people from Wisconsin. We didn't see the Burkhardts, wasn't the big herd? Yeah, we just and like I said, I I honestly truly believe that people have just uh like I've even started doing it like at the beginning of the year. I love it. Racetracks, if you're listening, post your schedule at the beginning of the year so we can get those into our calendar, you know. And some of these special events, we're all um a little slow about probably putting that stuff into our calendars, but there's a ton of racing coming up that's gonna pay big money. It is during the week. It might hurt the car counts on the weekend a little bit, but um, and I could be completely wrong, but that's just my opinion. Um, but yeah, I was really shocked that we only had 62 stock cars on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_07 9:28

On that schedule deal, too. Um, if you go online and you get your MRP profile updated, you can go out and pick your events you're gonna go to and you can build your schedule right in it. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_10 9:40

I have I actually made a calendar that has every big show, every track, and how long it takes to get there from my house.

SPEAKER_07 9:46

That's badass.

SPEAKER_10 9:47

Yeah, well, when you race for a living, yeah, because then I think Jason was talking about it.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Were you talking to Jason about it or something? I sent it to Jason.

SPEAKER_10 9:56

I sent it to a bunch of people. Everything's color-coded, it's got what track races what day, what special events.

SPEAKER_03 10:02

So I have the same type of schedule, but it's for my kids' wrestling stuff. So it's not my wife's like, you you'll be organized for this.

SPEAKER_04 10:12

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

How many matches you guys had, where it's at, color-coded by what event it is. Dude. But you can't even do the goddamn laundry. Right?

SPEAKER_12 10:24

Josh just got a boner because he's an engineer and he's like, oh my god, it's all good.

SPEAKER_03 10:31

Hits the bottom of the desk.

SPEAKER_09 10:32

Any one of those raising tables? Yeah. Check that out.

SPEAKER_03 10:35

Yeah, that's pretty sick. Man, look at you go. That's pretty that's pretty wild.

SPEAKER_07 10:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

No, that's uh that's really cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 10:45

Very cool.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

All right, let's jump into these results real quick.

SPEAKER_07 10:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:49

So Tuesday night, Harris Clash, stock cars right out of the gate. Uh Trip Gaylord wins with the VB1. Kyle Vanover second from seventh. Caden Reynolds third. Devin Smith fourth in Grey Vogos.

SPEAKER_12 11:07

Vanover owes me a favor. He was up there pimping me about the farm sesh the whole time. Oh, second. It's worth at least a free t-shirt, I think. All right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 11:15

I also got to say something about him. I I think Tuesday was the first time I've seen him in person.

SPEAKER_03 11:21

Oh, yeah. He's he's a big dude.

SPEAKER_07 11:23

Yeah. And we had the Iowa State football players on Saturday.

SPEAKER_12 11:29

Did you see them? But I seen the one dude's ponytail that was like this long.

SPEAKER_10 11:32

I was wondering if they were a football player.

SPEAKER_07 11:34

His whole waist was above the fence on the catwalk. We were literally just talking about that. Like they were bending over the fence. Like it. Them boys are massive. Katie's eye level at that point. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 11:47

I wonder how tall his old lady is. I mean, holy moly.

SPEAKER_12 11:52

Oh, yeah. But yeah, he's a big boy. Oh, yeah. Great guy. Comes out, he's like, oh man, what's going on? You know, we're talking about the podcast and stuff and everything. Always great to see the 19 car.

SPEAKER_07 12:03

I'm not saying big in a fat way either. Like he's very tall and he's I was just gonna say, Josh, next time he sees you, he might say slap you around. If he comes peeling out of the driver's door and you're on a mission to talk to him, you might change your mind.

SPEAKER_12 12:15

It's like John Branton, man. I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_07 12:16

Yes. Same deal. I have a great story about Eric Stanton when I started racing. One of my buddies went after. He was gonna go down and chew his ass because he did something to him on the track, and I went down there. I'm like, yeah, I gotta go see this. Eric stepped out of that car and he turned right around and said, We're going right back to the pit. You know what? Never mind. And Eric Eric was just a teddy bear. He was 16 as a time. He still is. He never would have said a thing, but God, that was I'll never forget that.

SPEAKER_12 12:44

Those are the best ones. Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't ever back down, so don't ever anybody ever think that I'm backing down. Okay. It was kind of like the banister and uh Dustin Lynch thing. I guarantee you, Dustin was like, uh-oh. Oh I mean, this this dude's forearms besides my thigh. Okay. But uh yeah, what a what a great show. Um I you know, the race, we we kind of sucked.

SPEAKER_07 13:08

You had to do a little driving. You were this close to getting in through the heat. Oh, right. On the passing points. That you, of course, your heat, the the guy that made it in passing points, passed the most of the whole night, except for you. Who? Who was it? I don't remember. I'll go look. Then next time. Oh you oh you got it. He's got a picture of it.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

Okay, he sent it to the the watermelons group chat.

SPEAKER_07 13:31

I did, bro. Because I'm like, you were so close.

SPEAKER_12 13:33

I didn't you guys think I can interpret that kind of stuff when I'm at the track?

SPEAKER_07 13:38

Well, come on.

SPEAKER_12 13:38

Yeah, probably not.

SPEAKER_07 13:40

But anyway, uh I know Dylan Richards. He ended up with 103 passing points and you had 101. I mean, it was it was he was he was in because he ran second. No, no. Winner was in, then second place was who was highest in passing points.

SPEAKER_12 13:59

Dylan, you're lucky I didn't take you out in turn four, then I was about it.

SPEAKER_10 14:02

No, I'm kidding. Was it passing points per heat or overall? Per heat. I thought it was overall. No per heat. You know what?

SPEAKER_07 14:09

I really love how you guys do that. It's a different format because it's completely different. It is, and I I don't I'm I'm gonna be completely honest. It is. Yeah, I don't love the work that goes along with it because it is it's all hand work for me, but I love the way it is because it is different.

SPEAKER_12 14:24

Well, you know what, Josh? We'll get over it. One driver appreciates the fact that you have to do a little bit of extra work. I think I can speak for a lot of others, but that is a very cool thing to do, just because it's not something we do on the ordinary. Yep. A it's for a special event. Um, Bob must have had somebody else come up with that because I he's more like race car stuff, not numbers and stuff, right?

SPEAKER_09 14:47

Uh he told us last year he was the one that spelled it all out how he wanted to do it. Really? Chad must have helped you. He was the one that was running BMANs for an extra hundred bucks, too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 14:54

Hey. That's right.

SPEAKER_03 14:56

Thank you, Bob.

SPEAKER_07 14:57

Somebody watches the podcast. He does.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

He does. You know what's really funny? Speaking of that, so uh Blake Anderson texted me while I was standing in Victory Lane with Bob, and he was said he was sta he was uh stocking beer at Skagget. He puts his said when he stocks his beer at Skagget, because Blake runs the Skagget uh Speedway out in Wisconsin, or Wisconsin, Washington. Anyway, he said he'll he'll stock the beer at Skagget and listen to the show. And so he texts me, and it it was funny because I was standing next to Bob when he texted me. He's like, oh yeah, he's like Danny Smith used to run with uh high limit in 2015 or whatever, and he's like, he would he knew that if you got 15th, like 13th to 16th paid the same. But if you got 15th, you got a $50 gift card to Outmax Steakhouse. Yep, he said every if there was a late yellow, he'd count and go and finish 15th or $50 to outmax steakhouse.

SPEAKER_12 16:04

Speaking of uh little incentives like that, do you guys know who got the free rear ends from Ben Croll? Yes. Hey, somebody turn the Barntown light on, please. What's his name?

SPEAKER_10 16:14

Russ got one.

SPEAKER_12 16:15

Joel Rust?

SPEAKER_10 16:16

Joel Rust got it for the stock cars. What'd he finish? Don't know, but he got free stuff.

SPEAKER_07 16:24

Yeah, it was what they they drew it out of the bucket.

SPEAKER_03 16:27

I want to say 13th. Yep. 13th. So Joel got 13 by three.

SPEAKER_10 16:33

Um I ran fifth at Stewart and got a free set of wheels, but I knew it before I went out there.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Come on, it was too quiet. Was it no, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_07 16:51

I'm flying back.

SPEAKER_03 16:52

Yeah, I was gonna say it was it Camden Vincent. No, but he could probably use it.

SPEAKER_12 16:59

Isaac Mellon.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

No, because they did it in sport mod. Was it Cam Ramerson? I was thinking it was uh Brayden Carter. Anyway, we'll move on until Josh finds it. But I was Kyle Free. No, he wasn't in there. Joel Bashore. Joel Joel's been retired. Anyway, speaking of sport mods, let's uh go to those uh results. Bray Speedy Bray uh starts on the pin, gets it done. Um his cousin, Dylan Van Wyck, goes nine to two. Um he was pretty fast in the bottom there. Rhymer's goes third, Caleb Woodard goes fourth, Willie Kirk goes fifth, Cole Sukow sixth, David Schwartz seventh, Mike Smith eighth, Austin Towski ninth, and Will Wolf 10th. Um Joe Reetz. Joe Reitz got 21st place.

SPEAKER_12 17:57

Okay, Joe Reeds. He needed it after that left-hand turn he took on Saturday a couple weeks ago.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

So uh another good one. I mean, Bray was pretty fast. Cam, he got like four or five car links out on Cam and just kind of stayed there.

SPEAKER_12 18:14

Yeah, that's the best that we've seen Neil won. No offense, Braden. I'm just saying he always sucks at Boone. Like just oh no, I know he will. That's why I said it. Um he just struggles there for some reason, you know, and it's like I kind of like it because I like giving him shit about it. I mean, because Braden's a great racer. We raced together for many, many, many years. He's such a clean racer, and um, I like his bald spot on top of his head. I like to make fun of him about that. Um, and we're we're reds, so uh we have a lot in common, and and he's one of the best in the business to do it. So it was it was really cool to see him. I think that was his first Harris Clash, correct?

SPEAKER_07 18:52

Yeah, I believe so. You know, so no, I think he didn't he win it somewhere else? Because I thought somebody said he's a two-time now. He won't at Darry Creek, too. Go check the website out. Uh huh. There uh he's won it twice. I think he won it at Deer Creek.

SPEAKER_12 19:05

Oh well, either way, he he kind of conquered the start on the front row, uh doing shelf that I can't do. Um starting from the front row. Looks pretty good on Tuesday for the old one.

SPEAKER_07 19:15

Um, and also hard chargers that night. Alec Fett got it in the sport mod. And then the same guy got it in the stock cars and the modified. Bray won it in 2019. Jake McBurney. Yep. Bray won it in 2019? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

Which was where dear creek. But yeah, Jake doubled up on that.

SPEAKER_07 19:37

That was well, he tripled up on it. Because there was two hard chargers for the stock cars, because we had the rain out, and the guy that the guy that does the um the hard charger for the stock car, he asked us to go ahead and do it for the Harris Clash if they were okay with that.

SPEAKER_02 19:51

Sure.

SPEAKER_07 19:51

So there were two envelopes for hard chargers for stock cars for Saturday. Or for Tuesday, sorry. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 19:59

Nice. Yep. Thank you for the random. Very cool. Very cool. Modified. Uh Joel Rust starts on the front row and another two. Second. Second one for him, Colin Hibden. I thought Colin was gonna get him. Colin was good.

SPEAKER_07 20:18

He got two in.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

But he just Cody Laney goes third, Chase Weimer fourth, Paul Nagel fifth, good run for him. Josh Mossix, Nick Meyer seventh, Tod Shu eighth, Jacob 29th. And Cowboy Ray goes 10th. But yeah, so all in all, pretty good. Here's Clash, really. I mean, it was uh decent car count. Um we got over at a decent time. I mean, it was still what, midnight probably.

SPEAKER_07 20:56

It was like 11:30, 11.40.

SPEAKER_03 20:58

Yeah, somewhere there. But still hoofed it through there. Um not much, I mean, not much more you can do, right? So uh a lot of races for you know for three classes. Sure. Um let's see. Go to Saturday. We can plow through these really fast. And then Saturday night, the Bumblebee tuna nationals.

SPEAKER_07 21:24

Yeah, with what 31 of them little guys.

SPEAKER_03 21:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 21:27

And not a single caution in that class the whole night.

SPEAKER_12 21:32

I was just gonna say the only class that did that. Yep. The whole heat speed.

SPEAKER_09 21:36

Should probably run a weekly now.

SPEAKER_12 21:37

I'm just saying, I don't know why Boom Speedway doesn't have those as on a on a on the weekly card. Um, they they I've tell you what, I don't know if you guys go to other racetracks, but they are the first ones there.

SPEAKER_03 21:49

Oh, like they were I got a picture from Troy Shute. He's gonna appreciate this. They were stay pre staging their cars over. By they would drive up. They're all in the backfield, weren't they?

SPEAKER_10 22:03

By the highway? Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_03 22:05

So they would drive up, stop by the concession stand, get out, shut their shit off, and walk away. Well, a couple of them are driving Kevin in front of Kevin Opline's trailer. He couldn't turn in. Oh, that's funny. So poor Kevin.

SPEAKER_12 22:24

So, yes, I understand what you're saying. I'm just saying, man. I mean, they they they put on a pretty good show. And I like the fact, I mean, I was hoping that we were gonna fit him in the schedule after the modified just to help chew the racetrack up, you know, uh, for the stock cars, just something a little bit different. Um But uh I can tell you one thing, you could tell that the racetrack was different on Saturday for the second set of features because we had a lot more mayhem in all classes, they blew the track off a lot more, they like right through the middle, so there was nothing really to grab. Right. When when Rod and the boys went out there and they started scratching and laying down the water, Nate kind of picked her up at about 4,700 RPM in the old yellow squirter truck. Um, you can always tell, like what, you know, and this is I have said it a hundred times. If you're not watching that, you're an idiot. I thought after hot laps it was gonna be juiced all night. I knew it wasn't fast. Yes, right. So and it transitioned so fast, and that's the thing with Boons Phoebe when it does that, it happens quick. So we've seen it, we've seen a lot of wrecks and a lot of because people aren't used to that. Yeah, they're not paying attention, they're not it's not the tracks fault. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that they did a different farm session on Saturday night than they do on a normal Saturday night. And I think, you know, I I think I've almost got Rod figured out. I've been watching him pretty hard the last three weeks. Good luck, really. What do you think? No, I got what do you think you're seeing? I don't know if I'm gonna say it on air. All right, but I'm gonna tell him about it next time I see him. Found his tell. You found it right here. Right. I've been watching it.

SPEAKER_07 24:08

Did he lower it? He must have lowered the sunglasses so you could see.

SPEAKER_12 24:12

No, but I got better vision. I'm Bobcat.

SPEAKER_04 24:18

All right, all right.

SPEAKER_12 24:19

You pounce on a mouse six, eight feet away, bud. Sucker won't even hear me. Won't even know. That's right. And the skinnier you get, the quieter you get. That's right. Uh-huh. Yeah, less friction. So um, if you weren't watching that, your man, your night on Saturday was was really ruined for you because the racetrack, like Fitzy was just saying, it was, you know, looking juiced up in hot laps and stuff. And actually, I got a funny one for you guys. Shane Stormbater climbs in my car on Saturday night. I climb in his car just to see what's going on. So I'm out there flipping everybody off, and everybody's like looking and they're waiting, they're waving at me in my car, but it's really Shane. You know. Jane comes over to me. She her and her daughter were standing in turn four, and I come by there and I had the bird flying, you know, and she's like, she she caught it, and then she's like looking. She came down, she's like, Were you in Shane's car? I'm like, Yep. She goes, I thought he was flipping me up. I'm like, no, it was me. But anyway, she would have been like, no, it wasn't Shane. It was Shane. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was Randy Jones. How'd she run? Uh, she ran really good. Um, he the the only issue that I seen was the throw on his throttle was about the about like a mod light, so it was about that much. The light switch? Yeah, yeah. I about spun out twice, you know, uh just because I wasn't I got a lot more throw in my throttle, you know. And uh so we changed that around for him, and gosh dang, he went out and uh lit the world on fire in the heat race, and then of course we start front row on the end, and he Shane is such a head racer when it comes to like being on the bottom, like he's a top guy. And uh so we got through, he goes, Yeah, you think you could call Josh and see if we can just switch spots? I'd rather be on the top. I'm like, no, bud, because I watched the bodify, you know, the track kind of transitioned. It was kind of top dominant on Saturday night at the end of the night. Um, but uh yeah, I was just I just got a kick out of that from Shane because he's he's pretty quiet. So if you get him to say four or five words a night, you're doing pretty good.

SPEAKER_07 26:17

Yeah. Is that is he in a range?

SPEAKER_12 26:19

Yes, he's in a range. Yep, yep. That's what uh that's what kind of customer service you get at Rach Chassis Loke Fabrication. If your car's not feeling right, you can just come hop in my car and see if we're apples to apples or let me get in your car as long as the seat fits. Shane and I, he's a lot more muscular than I am, but I fit pretty good in the seat.

SPEAKER_07 26:36

Stable muscle counts.

SPEAKER_11 26:38

It does.

SPEAKER_07 26:38

That's right. It does, it really does. Yeah. I see Denny every which by the way, Denny's we gotta get it. We gotta get Denny on it. Yeah, we really think I see the name Stoneburner, I'm thinking Denny, you know, and and nobody's the same as their dad. Yep. We all know that. Yep. But uh it's cool to see him. He's just a little bit better, a little bit better.

SPEAKER_03 27:02

Yeah so he's getting it.

SPEAKER_12 27:04

He's getting her for sure.

SPEAKER_07 27:05

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 27:06

Well, um, speaking of Bumblebee, tuna nationals, we had Brad Chandler went nine uh 10 to 1.

SPEAKER_07 27:14

Knifed it through lap traffic to the lead. Okay, I heard that was pretty crazy. It was pretty wild.

SPEAKER_11 27:19

Is that a relation to Marv? Yes, it is scary. That is cool as shit. Well, Merv. I always say Marv. It's like Harv, like Joel Rustad's Harv, and I always call it Marv. Like off of Home Alone, you know.

SPEAKER_12 27:33

And Joel finally had the heart to tell me, he goes, uh hey bud, it's Harv, not Marv.

SPEAKER_10 27:38

Like on his car, it says Harves.

SPEAKER_12 27:40

Yeah, but I just, you know, I have a speech impairment. Okay. I'm just saying. So I've been calling him uh 27 minutes, 35 seconds. I've always called him that, and then finally Joel's like, hey, bud, you know it's an H, not an M. All right. Really? Since when? Yeah, now I got it. That should be on a t-shirt. Right. But anyway, that's cool. Picks up uh 600 bones at the Bumblebee Tuna Nationals. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 28:14

Him and Bielenberg had a hell of a race, and then it turned out it really wouldn't have mattered.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

Yeah, Bielenberg got the cued for having a welded spring.

SPEAKER_07 28:22

The way they thought it was, they think it's two springs welded together somehow. But yep, he had a welded spring.

SPEAKER_12 28:29

Pushing that gray area. That was the deuce?

SPEAKER_07 28:31

That was the 12.

SPEAKER_12 28:32

12. 12. 12. Okay, the the 12 and the deuce, they're bodies. Sick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 28:38

That two cars. I mean, come on. It's cool as shit. It really is. Okay.

SPEAKER_12 28:43

Just saying. Got the hats back. Oh, it's badass.

SPEAKER_07 28:45

Yep. And it looks, I mean, just overall, like the scheme.

SPEAKER_12 28:49

There must have been a little bit more controversy in the uh in the sport compacts because when I was in the tech area, uh there was a guy down there with a lower Aframe and they had the date measure on it.

SPEAKER_07 28:59

There was a few.

SPEAKER_12 28:59

I think and they were pissed.

SPEAKER_07 29:01

Maybe three guys. How's your inbox today? Yeah, it's been busy. Uh had a few messages about uh was some screenshots of stuff from like Rock Auto, and this is what I'm running. Well, I don't know what was on your car in tech. I don't do tech.

SPEAKER_12 29:16

Okay, right. But in their defense, they probably are buying that from Rock Auto because it is a really cheap place to pick up a lot of your race car parts. No doubt. Correct. Now, here's the thing, okay, guys, this is where this is where I and I think a lot of racers have had uh issues with this um in the past, and why people get revved up when it, you know, when Dave and Kirk and them guys come around, they they are lenient, but they're also very strict about certain rules. They know OEM. Exactly. And so when you are running this, and this isn't a jab at any of the uh tech officials across the state, we all know we all appreciate you guys. We all know that it mainly is volunteer work. Um, and we know that IMCA does an excellent job on defining if there's a new rule, they either bold it or put it into red, or they try to get it out, or not try, they get it out to their tech guys and be like, hey guys, this is a new thing. We're not pushing the issue. Uh, we're gonna give everybody a year to try to you know get in compliance with it, and then we're gonna start pushing it hard, or we're gonna start enforcing it harder.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

Right.

SPEAKER_12 30:28

Um, but uh rules a rule. If you're gonna, in my opinion, if you're gonna have a rule, stick to it. You enforce it no matter what it is. And we've we've all known this, we've all been to these racetracks. The Harris Clash, I feel like, has been one of the biggest nut kickers for body stuff. Uh just like the best of the best are here. Your stuff better be right, or you're gonna get DQ'd, or you're gonna get docked spots, right, or you are gonna get the uh the appropriate uh discipline.

SPEAKER_07 31:04

I feel like I we should ask the question, but remember we talked with Bob a little bit about the sport mod deal in Knoxville, the valve train. I feel like that DQ when that happened was almost like the beginning of we're not dealing with those valve springs on the crate motor. Yeah, like like that, I just kind of remember it that way, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe it started elsewhere, but that was a big deal when those guys got DQ'd, you know, at that race. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_12 31:33

Yeah, it's so we ended up with a trophy out of the deal.

SPEAKER_07 31:36

Yeah, I was gonna say some people benefited from it.

SPEAKER_12 31:39

Well, I mean, but I'm just saying, like, and and that's fine, but the rules better apply to everyone. Yeah, they should is really good about that. I'm not saying that they're not. They do an excellent, excellent job. So, Sport Compact guys, when you go to a uh you know, a big event like this, you know, and I don't think they have very many big events, I'm like the Bumblebee Nationals is one of the biggest ones, and then Supernationals.

SPEAKER_09 32:04

Well, they had one at Marshalltown the night before, I think, right? They did. Yep. They were at 500 to win, I think. 500 to win.

SPEAKER_12 32:09

So like they're starting to get more and more stuff. Yep. Just be a little bit more disciplined on what you know or what you got going on there. And if there's a there's a you know, Dave Brennan will answer his phone. If he doesn't answer his phone, he will call you back. He'll call you right back. Dave is Dave is everybody thinks Dave's a dick, but he's actually one of the nicest guys ever. He looks like a dick because he's dry. If you get him to smile, which I got him to smile at that clash on the coast. He smiles at a clash on the coast.

SPEAKER_10 32:38

I tried to get him to do karaoke the first year I went. He does.

SPEAKER_12 32:41

He didn't work in his story. He was a racer, and he's been around this. And and Dave's story is so cool, and and he has done such an excellent job taking over for Tom Krobowski. Is that right? Grobowski. Good, good Towski. Is it Gurtowski? I was gonna say Grobowski. Yep, like the big Lebowski, but I feel like Dave has stepped into that that role phenomenally. Yep. So Kirk, you don't be scared to race too. Kirk used to race too. And Kirk does he Kirk is the same thing. He is the class too tough to tame he's the fender card, right? Kirk's a school teacher. And he is? Yes. Yeah. What's he teach? Art? Okay, now I feel really bad.

SPEAKER_07 33:23

I think it's art, but I I might be wrong. I might be wrong on that. But he is a school teacher. I did not know that. And he definitely talks to you, you can tell it. Like you can hear it. He he just wants to educate. I mean, that's that's his deal. If you're smarter about it, he doesn't have to work as hard. I mean, that's just the plain truth of it.

SPEAKER_12 33:40

If you do your job on the hard, that's why he never gives in on a on something. If something's wrong, it's like, no.

SPEAKER_07 33:47

Read.

SPEAKER_12 33:48

I envy if he's dealing with these little snot-nosed kids we got nowadays that go to school. I envy you more. Kirk miserable shit. I'd hate to be in school right now. Appreciate that. Yep. What a little fun fact.

SPEAKER_07 33:59

They're good tech guys. And uh, you know, Kirk was teching back when I started, and we had a few, not a few go-arounds, but uh he got me one night at Stuart. I had an illegal carburetor on. And no kidding. It was I knew it was illegal when I put it on the car. And I ran third, and the two guys in front of me. Two spots too good. They're they're they're legal, they're fine. But he he dick he dinged me, and I asked him, I said, can you measure that? Well, I don't have the tool to measure it. I said, Okay. Well, just look at it and then go look at theirs because this one isn't as big as theirs, I promise you. I know it's hogged out because it was a real small one that you just hogged out to get it. Josh the whole time is going, all right. I'm just trying, I'm just trying.

SPEAKER_08 34:44

Give me my 40 bucks.

SPEAKER_07 34:46

Two years later, they came out with the rule of the size rule. So you could get a small game. Yes. And that that's when that and I had nothing to do with the rule change, but I like to think I did. Right. Right.

SPEAKER_10 34:58

Right. Everybody were a stepping stone.

SPEAKER_07 35:00

Everybody's got that story of this is why they do that rule, you know. My buddy ran a top flow air cleaner. And it they didn't have a rule about it, but the next year they did.

SPEAKER_03 35:08

Right. So we better get through these. Yeah. Well, hey, bud, just go through the top five. Yeah. Josh May wins mod lights. Uh 11-1. He's been super fast. He has B Z go second. Lynn Elliott gets third again. Start at 13th.

SPEAKER_07 35:26

Yep. He's getting better and better and better.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

I talked to better motor. That's what it is. I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_12 35:33

That's what he needs. He's doing he was doing a good job. I told Brian on Saturday I grabbed his stitches because he had surgery, and I said, get him power steering. I'm going to pull these stitches out right here. He goes, I'm going in Monday. And then Landon goes out, you know. Uh last week Landon was in the staging area night. He was sitting on the front row, and I just walked up to him and I just said, Don't be a pussy. And he gave me the lane frost nod and went out and ran third.

SPEAKER_07 35:55

You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna get him power steering. He's gonna go on turn one, just loop in. He's gonna be doing this.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

But if you look at this, so Josh may won, he started 11th. Brian got second, he started ninth. Landon Elliott got third, he started 13th. Austin Gray started fourth, he got or finished fourth, he started twelfth. And Grant Anderson started 10th and got fifth. So movers got a plus ten, a plus seven, plus ten, plus eight, plus five.

SPEAKER_07 36:26

Movers and shakers.

SPEAKER_03 36:27

Yeah, plus ten, plus sixteen behind that. So um but yeah, I was really I was pumped to see Landon actually start back there and pass cars to get to the front instead of like starting on the pin and fighting for his life. Right. So um making strides in the right direction. Uh let's see. Hobby socks. Eric Stanton wins at Boone for the first time in five years.

SPEAKER_07 36:53

Um I didn't realize that. Like I've seen him win, I guess. I just thought it was more at Boone.

SPEAKER_03 37:00

Yeah, Braden Gifford has been really fast. He gets second.

SPEAKER_07 37:04

National point leader, I heard.

SPEAKER_03 37:05

Is he?

SPEAKER_07 37:06

Somebody told me that.

SPEAKER_03 37:08

Seth Butler goes third, Wyatt Johnson fourth, Aaron Rudolph fifth. Uh in the first one, second one, Andrew Berg. He passed nine cars. Yeah. Jeez, that crusty old bastard was fast, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_07 37:23

Yeah, that car started out the year. Tumble, tumble, tumble.

SPEAKER_03 37:26

Yeah, no, that's cool to see Berg um get another win there. Shane Butler goes second. Uh Brayson Siegel goes third. Um, and he was the one that shit canned it off turn one early in the year.

SPEAKER_07 37:38

That's the one that pole vaulted, yeah. Yeah, he was like the biggest that was wild. That was insane.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

That was the biggest Moffat Mayhem we've had.

SPEAKER_07 37:44

We thought he was taking the catwalk out. From my seat, it looked like he was getting ready to. It was nasty.

SPEAKER_03 37:49

Uh Kale Cook goes fourth, and Mike Michael Johnson Jr. goes fifth. Is Kale Cook from Marshall Town? Would he be related to like Chad Cook? Because Chad Cook used to race from over in the area. Possibly. It's spelled the same way. She's pretty young.

SPEAKER_07 38:05

She's pretty young.

SPEAKER_03 38:06

Yeah. Chad Cook used to be pretty decent. Um let's see. Let's get through this. I'm going the wrong way on my sheet here. Did we go? Oh, yeah. Sport mods, right? Yep. Look at that. The airflow system was dialed. I saw you guys had pictures of that thing in the air, the wind tunnel this week. That was pretty badass. Yeah. Goes 12 to 1. I want to know who's holding the smoke for that deal. Yeah. Bobcat just burning red just at a really high, high rate.

SPEAKER_07 38:39

Just got like four or five of them going, and the smoke just flies over the sport mode. All right.

SPEAKER_03 38:44

Yeah. Will Wolf goes second. Mikey Smith goes third after coming back. Like he about did he about loop it? Is that what happened? First lap. Yeah. Turn two. Yep. Yep. Braden Gustin got fourth. It was a good run for him. Yeah, it was good for him. Jason Carney also, good run in fifth. Dayton Swadtek. Not quite the hard charger charger, but he passed 12 cars. Yep. Going from Monster Truck, Mayhem to Hard Charger. Nice job, bud. We're proud of you. That's right. Stock our feature one. Devin Smith wins. David Smith gets second. Josh Daniels third. Michael Jeanette fourth. Hunter Smith fifth. Second feature, Jamison McDonald wins. That was wild. He started 18th.

SPEAKER_07 39:37

Was that his first ever win?

SPEAKER_03 39:38

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_07 39:39

I was going to ask that, but I mean he just we got out of the car and I was like, that kid, he looks very young for one.

SPEAKER_03 39:44

Yeah. No, I mean he wasn't super, I don't think he was super young, but it was just a comment that I got. Wild happenstance. Like you guys want to know what happened? Well, we're going to get to it in just a second.

SPEAKER_07 39:57

The kid steps out of the car. Cody's interviewing him, and Colton goes, I don't think I've ever seen a grown man shorter than Cody. As he was interviewing him. Yeah, but I had a really good reply to that. Yes, you did. A very good one. About a foot long.

SPEAKER_03 40:15

Jameson Dupp McDonald wins, goes plus 17 to the win from Suamico, Wisconsin. Jim Gussin second. Buck Shaffroch third. Doug Smith fourth. Blake Lehman fifth. Bob Catton seventh. No one wanted to win that race. You rallied back. That's a good way to put that.

SPEAKER_07 40:35

No one wanted to win. Seemed like nobody wanted to win it.

SPEAKER_12 40:38

Driving everywhere. Yeah. But forward. If we're going to recap my weekend, I'm just going to I'm going to recap all of it at once. No, that's fine. Yep. But so we'll do that after break.

SPEAKER_07 40:50

Or do you want me to go with it now? We could do it after the break because I believe it's the mayhem segment. Your whole week was the Moffits mayhem.

SPEAKER_12 40:56

Yeah. It could be, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 40:58

It really I think it is.

SPEAKER_03 40:59

Yep. Okay. That's fair. Is that what we're doing? I think so. I need to smoke anyway.

SPEAKER_07 41:03

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 41:04

Before he has to talk about it. And it gives me, yeah, it gives me time to do what I'm doing over here real quick.

SPEAKER_02 41:09

There you go.

SPEAKER_03 41:10

Anyway, all right. We're going to go to a break. We'll send it off to our friends at Central Island.

unknown 41:15

Fuck.

SPEAKER_03 41:16

Nope. Because there was a little bit of mayhem there, too. Oh my god. That's part of the that yeah, that's my that's my vote. But anyway. Yep. Todd shoot wins. Our boy Tevor Fitzgibbon gets second. Isaac Malico goes third. Corey Saurman fourth. Jake McBurney fifth. Um are we going to talk about this? Are we going to come to the break?

SPEAKER_07 41:44

I think we better take a break. All right. Yeah, we better throw it in the mayhem. Like mayhem junior or something.

SPEAKER_03 41:48

Yeah, junior mayhem segment. And then our friend can fuck, he was in the cat bird and CP. He was. I was going to say. Yeah, it was. I was in the right spot.

SPEAKER_07 41:58

Did you blink or did you just hammer it and hold on, Harry? We're going to break. Hold on.

SPEAKER_12 42:03

Harry, we're going to break. We ain't going to send it over to our send it over to our great marketing partner, Central Iowa Diesel Performance. You've been watching watermelons and we've got right back.

SPEAKER_03 43:25

Yeah, two for two on laughing going into the intro. But uh we're gonna jump into Moffat's mayhem here right away. Um my vote on this could be different than everybody else's, but my vote is the um well, I mean, we did have some other shit go on where we had some rollovers, and we did stockhart guys rolled over. Who else rolled over? Oh, the mod light guys tried to make a baby, they got hooked together. Garrett Barber and and uh Trace and Glick tried to make it had tried to make a child.

SPEAKER_07 44:08

Was it Charlie got loose, came down, bottled him up?

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Yeah, I'm not a hundred percent sure.

SPEAKER_07 44:14

But on the way. Um but your vote is modified.

SPEAKER_03 44:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 44:20

Specifically.

SPEAKER_03 44:21

Racing for the lead, and I like I said, it obviously wasn't intentional, um, but Todd gets into the right rear quarter quarter panel of Nagle. And it was just, like I said, just close quarters racing, right? Like um they spin out and collect some other cars that and just unfortunate for the guys behind him. Good for good for Tevor Fitzgibbons over here, but you had a pretty good view of that then.

SPEAKER_07 44:53

Oh yeah, I'm guessing. And how did you did you go through eyes closed or just hammered down?

SPEAKER_10 44:59

It was hammered down until Paul started coming up the track, and then we're like, we should probably stop this deal and not hit him.

SPEAKER_07 45:07

Yeah, I imagine so. Were you running third when it happened?

SPEAKER_10 45:10

Um me and Isaac were running basically door to door, I think, or close to you, but they were we were all battling for the lead right there, and it was uh it's pretty wild.

SPEAKER_07 45:21

It's kind of the part that you know, you see it in the stand, you see it watching, but here you are, you're racing side by side with a guy. Oh, by the way, there's a little battle going on in front of you that all of a sudden goes sideways.

SPEAKER_10 45:33

Well, that whole battle was going on for like two or three laps. Yep. Like there was we were all up on each other for a while. It was a heavyweight fight.

SPEAKER_03 45:45

Yes. Oh yes, we haven't even talked about the heavyweight belt that Farley smacked down and um got two needed three. Yeah, we got another one. Yeah, we got another one.

SPEAKER_07 45:57

We've got another one coming.

SPEAKER_03 45:58

Um But yeah, that like I said, the and even at the end of your guys' race, it started to get pretty good where like but I think it allowed Todd to kind of drive away, but you and Isaac were kind of racing for a second there.

SPEAKER_10 46:16

The top was slow enough to where you could slide someone and they don't just kill you. Like you were able to do a slider not ready in their way.

SPEAKER_03 46:24

Right. Right. And then yeah, so Todd picks up that belt and then yeah, stock car stuff. Um let's go into Jonathan's week.

SPEAKER_07 46:36

Just so you know, that's my vote for the mayhem.

SPEAKER_03 46:38

Right.

SPEAKER_07 46:39

All Jonathan and and to to say that there was mayhem for a win, I mean that that doesn't happen too often, really.

SPEAKER_12 46:48

Yeah. Um we were decent Tuesday, the Hurst Clash kind of elaborated on that feature. We were just absolutely terrible. Um I don't know if uh yeah, we're gonna talk about it. The goddamn banana peel up there. So um Tuesday night, we just I I just was too tight uh for the racetrack conditions, and it just, you know, just killed me. Um so we ended up running, I think, 16th. Um and so on Wednesday night we're at the shop, they had the wild Bill Cook Memorial going on up at the Casooth County Speedway. You said it right. I did it just for Chad. Oh, holy holy that was nothing. Chad and I have been having a little tutorial once a week on the phone. Uh, but uh we go up there and it was $17.50 to win. Um and uh we get up there and uh it was just Katie, uh Sis and I, um Bart tagged along with us and uh got set up with a good draw right on the front row. They come on, they say in the driver's meeting, we're gonna have a cash for that or a dash for cash uh that'll line you up uh first and second place out of your heat race. Gonna line you up for that. Uh winning the heat race put us on the outside front row. Oh, we end up winning the dash deal, which originally paid 250 bucks, and then they had some anonymous uh don donators uh in the grandstands, and it ended up being $550. Uh so right there, I mean I come back to the trailer and I'm like, girls, I mean, we're we're we're up $550 already. Like this this was worth a trip, you know. And uh the racing the week prior at Algona was phenomenal. Um there was two lanes of racing. Um I've I've been watching, uh haven't been able to make it up there as much as I've wanted to, just with the building and stuff going on. Uh so then um uh I got another lucky draw and started on the outside of the front row. And we were, I think it was a 20-lap race, and we were nine laps in, and the yellow, the yellow light, the yellow Logan comes on the receiver and says yellow, yellow. Um we go down in turn one and two, and I just plum spin out. Yeah. Like I I had no idea at this time who was behind me. I I had a really good idea that it was the three-car, uh, which I didn't know that it was Wahoo and or Kelly. Either one. I thought it was Kelly, and I thought, well, gosh, maybe I just got in a little soft and they just kind of lifted me up and spun me around. Well, then when I'm spinning around, at and at this moment I'm pissed now because I'm like, what is going on? All of a sudden, here comes Wahoo. He's into the side of me, and the next thing I know, we got Kelly Shirock basically trying to Dave Mara jump our left fronts, and we get into a pile up, and instantly over the radio, Logan comes on the radio and says, Guys, I fucked up. You're gonna get your spots back. The yellow flag was already out. Bloody bloody blah. Well, at this time we had no idea what was I had no idea. I'm like, man, what happened? You know? Uh so they pull us all apart. I have a left front flat. Um Wahoo's whole hood and fender, like actually this isn't a jab at the track crew at Algona, but when they lifted Kelly off, it actually ripped his ripped Wahoo's fender and everything off, like just a weird thing. Um, but it kind of did more damage to his car trying to get him unhooked. Kelly goes to the hot pit area, uh, they check things out. Uh I I didn't do this Thursday night, but I owe Chad Palmer and his guys a case of beer because we didn't take no tires down there, you know.

SPEAKER_10 50:46

Like I and uh I heard you pulled up the one stop, uh, didn't no one's came to you, and you went to the next spot and changed a tire.

SPEAKER_12 50:53

Nobody, yeah, like nobody came over to me. And like to me, I don't give a shit who you are. If you don't have a tire down there, I'm gonna give you my tire. Like, whatever. Like keep you going. That's just how I am. Keep you going. Right. And so Palmer's guy come over right away, man. They jacked the car up, they put the tire on. I pull back out there. I mean, Logan came on the race receiver several times and said, Hey man, we really, really screwed up. Well, then actually, during that time, my headset was going. So I'm driving down straight away, fucking with my thing. Then I can hear him going, Yep, we got this many laps. And I'm like, Well, I'm out front. I don't need to hear what he's saying. So they dropped the rag. Jake McBurney and I have an absolute barn burner of a race, in my opinion. Uh, Jake probably doesn't think so because he wanted to win.

SPEAKER_10 51:42

Sure.

SPEAKER_12 51:43

Uh, but uh we never touched uh as far as it was never a moment to where Jake shoved me out of the lane or I went in and rubbed him up out of the lane. It was just close rate. Like we got out of the cars and I actually gave him a big hug. He was getting into his modified, getting ready for that. But he's like, Man, good, great race, you know, and I'm like, Yeah, man, that was so fun. Like, it just was, it was fun. And uh, so we ended up picking up the seven $1,750. Uh it was a very emotional uh night for me that night. Uh, one of my best friends, uh, you know, his daughter passed away, and and uh her funeral and her service and stuff was that day, so it was a very special uh thing for me because some of my f our our little group of friends was like, Man, go up there and kick ass and get this one for Maddie, you know, and it kind of like sunk in, like, holy shit, we just did this, and you know, we talked about it, and uh so we're driving home, and my dad said on Wednesday, he's like, You're not going up to Algona? Oh, oh, I forgot. Kelly Shyrocks up there, you're not gonna go up there. And I'm like, I'm going just because you said that. So we go up there, and uh as you guys noticed, uh, at Boon Speedway on Tuesday night, Kelly pulls out for hot laps, and I come up and give him a little nudge in the ass in, and then spit mud all over him, and then we're racing. I mean, we they dropped the rag boy, we're racing for a thousand bucks on the spot. So to go up there and Kelly's really good, which he did break, um very unfortunate. I wish that it wouldn't have worked out that way. But in my opinion, if anybody else was in that position, first of all, how many times do you guys go to a racetrack where the top three cars get wiped out? So what happened was is uh Aringer, or God, I Swearinger Swearinger Don't even laugh, Garrett, blows up going into turn one and two. And if you've ever been to the Algona Speedway or Kassooth County Speedway, you can see, but you can't see, if that makes sense. Like the the corners are really dark, um and the dirt is everything's just dark. Yeah, it's just everything's dark. Like you can see, but it's hard. So, like when you drop black oil on the racetrack, like you watch the replay, the lights come on. When we get to the flag stands, the yellow lights are already on. So we go down into turn one and two, and it was like bananas down there. Right. And so Wahoo calls me after the races, and he's like, he goes, eh, must be rough, you know, getting your smot back on a yellow. I'm like, I didn't make the call, the track did. You guys are just jealous they like me more than they like you. You know, and he goes, he goes, you know, I was thinking, what the hell are you doing, Jonathan? And he goes, then I went to turn and went, oh shit, I can't turn either. And then he goes, Oh shit, here comes Kelly. It was just in a situation like that, when you hit uh water or oil or even when the racetrack's really slimy, our tires don't have that much tread. So you just lose everything. Like it literally, I mean, you watch the video, I'm I'm locked left, and my car is just I there's nothing I can do. I told Wahoo, I'm like, boy, I'm sure glad we weren't going in there about 65 on the on the firewall because we would have ended up in the in the concrete wall, you know, like it would have been way worse. Well, so in Logan's defense, he didn't see the oil either. He knew that that he blew up, but he kind of kept going and kind of coasted in or whatever, and the yellow was for something completely different. So when a racetrack, you guys all hold us accountable for everything we do on the racetrack. So for them, two-step Kevin, uh the their promoter, went over and had a little chat with Logan. And Logan's like, man, you know, like if we would have told them that this was down there, even though they didn't know how much oil was down there, none of this would even happen. Like, nobody'd even be in this position. Um and uh so I to me when a racetrack can admit it a fault and state like, hey guys, we're really sorry, you know. It it didn't tear up, I mean it tore up some stuff, but not a lot of stuff. Uh that says a lot about what they're at racetrack and what that program's trying to do up there. Um you don't see any other racetracks actually coming on the race receiver and saying, Hey man, I really screwed up. I we really made a mistake and we're gonna make it right. So um I think that says a lot about the the the racetrack and what they're doing up there. Um but uh so then we come home, and of course I'm gonna set the check up in the shop so when dad gets up and he walks down there, he can kind of be like, you know, because it was kind of late. Uh they ran a hell of a show. We got home at midnight. Um so uh I set the check up and Friday's going on, you know, and I have been to Marstown. I've been kind of boycotting a little bit. I'm only saying that 'cause Jar, you know, but I haven't been boycotting. I just haven't been there in like a month and a half. So we just had a lot of other things going on and racing some other events, and but it was thousand to wins, so I'm like, okay, well, let's go over and try it out, you know. And dad walks in the shop, what are you doing? I'm like, well, we're gonna go over to Marshtown. He's like, all right, you know, he's all pumped up and stuff. So we make the trek over to Marshtown. We pull into town, we see some guy puking on the side of the road. I'm like, well, this ain't good.

unknown 57:12

It's a good way to start.

SPEAKER_12 57:14

You know, some random just puking on the side of the road, calling the dinosaurs. More Moffats may have. We were gonna stop and ask if he wanted a bottle of water, but we only had one bottle. So we went on uh to the racetrack and uh get another lucky draw. I start on the outside front row and I drive that sucker straight to sixth. Terrible trash. I just tighter in a snare drum. I have no idea. I'm out there going like, man, this is cool. You know, first time at Marstown in a month and a half, and we're just going backwards right on. So we started let P11 for the uh for the feature at why come in, it was just Katie and I there. And she goes, What are you gonna do? And I'm like, we ain't doing nothing. We suck. We're just gonna go out, get our start money, whatever. I was kind of negative about it, you know. And uh I didn't even change tires. Matt came over, he's like, You change tires. I'm like, nope, these are the ones I won with in Algona last night. I just cut them up a little bit more because I'm trying to gear up for the North Dakota tour, so I'm putting all fresh rubber on. Anyway, we go out there and eight laps to go. I'm still in 13th. And I'm thinking, man, like, what are we doing? You know, I'm just kind of hanging out. There was some crazy shit going on. Um, and then all of a sudden, I don't know, I figured out how to get into turn three and four. Like, everybody was getting in there and getting tight. I kind of figured out how I could get in there and just rotate and get through there, and then all of a sudden, uh, I thought I was wiping out Johnny Spa's kid. I don't know what his name is, but he drives the number eight car. Yep. Him and Jim Gustin, just a racing deal. They got together, and I'm like, I zigged, and then I went this way, and then the very next lap we see A Cap spin Michael Jeanette out in front of the field, and then Jeff Mueller takes out Johnny Spa down in turn three and four, and then I watched the Ferguson freight train take a hard right on the railroad tracks, clear off the top of turn two, and then he goes. Throwing shells. Literally. And I'm like, I I mean, seriously, man, I'm I'm out there dukes a hazard shit. Everybody was, not just me. I look up and and Hunter Smith's got new Lamborghini door on the right front of that thing, hoods hanging off of it, fenders dragging on the ground, and I'm like, what is going on? Uh-huh. So uh I don't even know at this point. I think I'm up to fifth. And uh we drop the rag, we get going. Now I'm in third, and I'm like, okay, Joel Russ takes the bottom. I take the outside. Hunter Smith's leading at this point, because ACAP drives off the top, he caught the cushion, it bit him, he drives off the top, blah de blah. So we we we uh they drop the rag and Jimmy Gustin, thank, thankful for this, but his nose piece falls off down in turn three and four. So they instantly throw the yellow flag. Now Joel Russ takes the outside. And I'm like, oh, okay, so he's gonna give me the slide lane, right? And I'm like, well, I'm just doing what they've been doing this whole time. I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna go sh I'm gonna drive straight in and I'm just gonna slide up, and I'm like, if I don't think I can clear him, I'll just pull down and then I'll really slide him down in three and four because I felt a little bit better in three and four. And uh I get in there beside him. I basically helped Hunter out uh because his fender was laying on the ground. We didn't the video kind of looks like I shoved him up, but he got tight and did the whole drop the car down, and when he picked back up, we were still side by side. Like it did, it wasn't a thing where we were like this. I actually picked his fender up and put it back on his car for him.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:58

Well, that was nice of you. I don't know if you guys have seen that or not, but it put it back because job off on the track. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:04

I will be sending you that bill, Hunter Smith, for $25.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:07

Well, send it to Will Wolf. I think he owns the cars.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:09

Well, Wolf, it'll be $225 because we were not in the shop, so that is a mobile, mobile charge that's so uh we go down into three and four, and you know, Joel Rust comes in, um, he tries slide jobbing me. We go down into turn one and two, I cut down, Hunter Smith's cut down, we're four wide coming off of turn four, and then I rip the lip, I come around there, and uh pick up my first win at Marshtown in the stock art class. Um so I was ecstatic, and but at the same time I was sad because um Dustin Hansen, my crew chief, uh his wife's mom passed away that day. And so he wasn't able to come there, and Lindsay's been a big part of our racing program for 13 years, and uh so I got a little choked up in the interview deal. I not very often do you get a dedicated couple of races in a in a shitty circumstance for everyone involved, you know, and so um I I kind of got choked up, and then Jerry started talking to me about this and that and everything, and then come Saturday, everybody's like, oh man, you gotta go for three, you know, and I'm like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:16

I may have done that at the pitch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:19

Fuck you had a shot at her. I did have a shot at it.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:21

I said, you know what's better than two in a row.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:23

Three in a row. Right. So then when you guys released the thing, because I've you know, I've been my car's been so fast, and now I'm starting on the front row. Yeah, so that's been terrible.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:33

We literally played myself too. So I was standing there with you, and you guys pulled the phone out, and and they're like, oh, front row Joe. And I was like, your point average is so bad that in double features you start outside front row.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:49

Yeah, it's because you guys have been hosing me up in the booth. Heat and feature. Yeah. Sarah did it two weeks ago on the water, Josh did it a month ago. It's just one of them things. So we go out there, and it's like, you guys know when you're the leader, you're the sitting duck. So like I'm watching everything around me. If somebody's telling me to go high, I'm going high because I just don't know. So we're out there racing. There's no there's no cushion. Literally, it is razor thin. There's maybe this much going in and this much coming out. In the middle, nothing. So I'm like, okay, you gotta be real disciplined here. I get up there and I'm rolling around there pretty good, and I'm not seeing anybody, yellow comes out. Okay. Jim passes me on the bottom, and I'm like, whoops. Like, it's over now, you know, because when it goes to the bottom, it boom, it's very tough to get around. Well, there's a certain few of us that can run the bottom that you're not gonna pass us unless you literally take us out. So I'm like, man, that so I was I was just kind of pissed, you know, but it's just one of them things, you just don't know. So I'm like, all right, lock in here. Let's lock in and just see. I might have to root my own customer up off the bottom here for the three P. So they get us all lined up, and Sarah goes, okay, 19, drop back two spots, you were knocked two spots, we're jumping on the start, and I'm like, yes! Because I'm like, it's on the bottom. You know, I'm like, alright. So we get back up there, and I'm like, oh man, I'm still in the same position I was a lap ago, not knowing where anybody is. Before you go too deep.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:22

At that moment, I just want you to know, you guys were running, and we all knew that this had happened, but I knew you didn't. And I'm like, I turned to Sarah. I said, Do you know what it's gonna do if Jimmy wins this thing? And we're gonna bump him back two spots, and you're running second. Like, I was like, oh god.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:38

Concrete would have gone up three dollars a foot to get for the boon speedball after that. Oh yeah. Yeah, so like I'm like, I'm like, man, he must have really jumped. Well, I watched the replay and I'm like, hey, bud. I mean, he was at my left room, but the wire wasn't even on. So I'm like, okay, they made a good call for once. Kidding kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. So we take back off, and so now I'm running the bottom. All of a sudden I come down the back stretch and I see literally everybody from the ambulance clear almost down to the Smith's trailer. Everybody's going like this. So I'm like, right hand turn up to the top. Bobby Daniels is two tents quicker at that moment in the race. Then all of a sudden, the red flag comes out. And I'm like, man, I hate that because you just sit there and think about, man, you know, where's everybody at? Like, I just went from running the bottom where I felt like I was locked in and we were good. Now I'm up here on the top, and it feels like shit because it's slick and then there's nothing to get a hold of, but I'm maintaining because I haven't seen anybody. I'm like, sit there live. My decisions are happening. Right. I'm like, I need to drink a water. I could really have a smoke right now. I'm like checking out everything that's going on. Logan's fucking panting up there looking for the bowl of water because it's 85 degrees outside. Era's like, okay, guys, let's get you lined up. I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna slow roll. Uh-huh. Because if you guys have ever noticed, when I'm leading, like, I'm ready to get the race going. And you guys are up there, like, oh yeah, we're up here having ice cream. Hold on a minute. We're gonna get you lined up here real quick. So I like slow way down so we can hurry up the double file stuff. And uh, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna legit commit to the bottom of three and four because I felt a lot better down there, and I'm gonna commit to the top in one and two because I could go in there and hook my right rear on it. So they drop the rag. I go down and turn one and two on the first lap, which you don't ever do this, you know this fits. You like you gotta slide yourself almost at that point. But I felt so good up there, I'm like, I'm just gonna go up there and hit it. Like, they're gonna have to run me over to get me. I cranker down to the bottom, come around on the bottom, I'm like, man, it feels good down here. You know, I go into three, go into one and two, I'm like, we got six laps left. Here we come. I come down the back stretch and I see my crew guy go like this. Giving me the this is the digging like Dale. Stay right where you're at. My dumbass goes in and steps clean on my nightcrawler and spins out, puts my right rear over the right cushion. So he you thought go high.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:14

He was saying, stay where you're at.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:16

Yes. Oh, man. Totally my fault. Okay. Totally my fault. Okay. But there was so I'm gonna I'm gonna tell anybody that's listening, anybody that stands in our little area down there, you're done. That's it. You're out of there. We're gonna have a meeting about it. I'm not gonna be here this Saturday. There's assigned seats. But while I'm coming by, and there's like 15 people down there, and I just I misinterpreted what he said. And it cost me, I don't know if we were gonna win. We were in position to win, but I just blew it in way too hard and got my right rear over the cushion, and what happened, well, it wasn't a cushion, the lip. The lip, yeah. I spin out, I go to 12th, and I'm like, man, I I mean I was so, so mad at myself because I so you were loaded up quick too.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:10

I seen you the checkered and you were ramped off one. I was pissed. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:15

As soon as they threw the checkered, I went out like I like doing it. You know when you go over humps on the roads and it was it's like woo!

SPEAKER_08 1:08:23

Picture gun up, you know?

SPEAKER_12 1:08:24

And then I'm like, oh shit, you're on dirt, dumbass. And Dustin Lynch one time find out what the concrete was like over there. Think that wall. But I was gonna drive through the fence into the pit shack. So Emily is gonna pay attention, cats. Pay a window.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:39

Right. You see the Bobcat's eyes get the hell out of the way.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:43

Right. But yeah, I mean, it was just uh, you know, what really pissed me off after I went and watched the replay and everything, I'm like, man, I had such a good start. Oh, your start was great. That last restart, man, I got in there and I got where I needed to be. I got like a five-car link little jump. I hit one and two, perfect, and I'm like, I was golden. Like, even if I would have gone in and wasn't on the preferred lane, which was the top, in my opinion, which also though kind of showed a little bit different too, because Jimmy Gustin. So I'm thinking, I'm watching the replay, I'm like, holy shit, we got we're we're one, two, three rage cars. Like, I don't give a shit who wins at this point as long as it's a rage car. Okay, perfect. So I'm watching the replay, or I'm in seventh, and I'm like, I see Buck, he's doing the same thing I was doing, bottom and three and four, top and one and two. Well, all of a sudden, Jimmy, I don't know if Monica gave him, I'm not gonna talk to you for a week if you don't go up a little higher than what you are right now. But he went up there and he gets beside Buck. Buck doesn't see him. They come together. Buck pussy footed in one and two, half slide, jobbed himself, whatever you want to call it. Well, gave Jim no option other than to get on the brakes and try to turn down underneath him. When he did that, he hooked him. So then it's like you got to get completely out of the gas, and here comes this guy we know nothing about that's eight hours from home, drives by him on the bottom. Yeah, started in Wisconsin in hot laps and shows up and he's in victory lane at the end of the night. And he won the hard charger. And he won the hard charger. Yep. So it was like Jimmy calls me after the race and he's like, what was happening out there? I'm like, dude, I thought the same thing. Like the last two nights of racing, all the mayhem at Marshalltown, all the mayhem at Boone. Um, yeah, that's what happened to Bobcal.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:31

Well, you know why the Moffat's Mayhem segment is about this, because it was nothing but mayhem.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:37

Oh man, it was just crazy. Crazy up there panting. I'm just saying, I mean, you know for a bowl of water. Yeah, right. It just uh, and that's what ended our weekend. Um, but I can't complain. I mean, man, we we walked away with, you know, between Friday and Thursday night, it was 3,300 bucks. Um couple of qualifiers. I first time I ever qualified for the BB All-Star invitation. I probably won't do the shit in the timing, but I'm in. I'm in there. Okay. Uh so I was pretty pumped up about that. Uh, and what a great uh what a great little momentum spurt for our program right before the North Dakota tour. Um so pretty pumped up about that. All in all, a great weekend for our team. Um we're gonna you know miss the Boone Speedway this fry this Saturday night for the first time in I don't know. A long time. 13 years. I'm actually gonna miss two Saturdays in a row. So you're welcome. Devin Smith pretty much gave the championship to him. It's gonna hurt the power rankings. That's fine. They've been screwing me on it all year anyway. So uh I'll just deal with it. As long as I'm in the top 20 at the end of the year, I'm happy with it. I think it'll be there. I don't know, missing two. Well, pff again should be. Jake Socco hasn't been there all year, but he's still in the top five. There's a recency bonus. Yeah, right. But uh, you know what? We didn't elaborate on this, and and I want to touch base on it just a little bit. The trophy that Bob Harris gave Bruce Badgley.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:06

Yeah, very cool.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:07

That gives me chills even right now. Like, what what does that say about Bob Harris and his crew? And I'm a little pissed that I didn't get to take Bruce didn't get to take my pictures on Saturday, knowing that like I didn't I kept hearing Jerry saying, Oh yeah, this is Bruce's line. And I'm like, what's he talking about? It's not July.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:27

Well, it was I mean, what a sad moment for motorsports. Uh Saturday night at the Moon Speedway. Uh Bruce has been we've talked about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:38

I'm just saying it was more bittersweet than you know, like it was, but I'm saying it's sad because of it. Yeah, you don't want to see him ride out in the sunset, but it's good for him to ride out in the sunset.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:48

It is, but you know what though, too? It's gonna be super cool to see him maybe come to the races without a camera. Right, just kind of enjoy it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:55

Yeah, you know, and then we'll get to catch up on all the softball games and whatever else he's got going on.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:00

But to see Bruce's facial expression when because the best part was that he had no idea. Yeah, right. And Wade, whatever he did it, he got a video of me too, doing some tickled tongue dance down there in the infield, and I told you my phone ain't quit blowing up since uh It was such a good video, but I'm like, I didn't like I seen him doing it, but I thought he was just you know on his phone. Sure. So I'm like sitting there having a smoke and everything, and then he like looks over at me and I'm like, oh well, hey bud, what's going on? Any little tongue twister? I'll give you one. And then next thing I know it's on the internet, and I'm like, dude. Getting friend requests. Yeah. Yeah. We heard people talking about it now going on Thursday. Yeah. But there's the guy with that tongue video. Did you see it? I'm like, oh my god, here we go. But anyway, that was a super cool deal, but um, yeah. That was the Bobcat moment of the week, right there. Little recap.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:58

Yeah. Well, let's get into our uh our guest, Trevor. Trevor Fitz.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:07

There you go. Got it. That wasn't too hard, was it? No.

unknown 1:14:11

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:11

That's uh just depends on what what government name he picks this week.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:15

I wish I would get it right because my license is still wrong. Is it really? It's Tevor. Yeah, that's right. That's what I'm saying. You forgot the R after the T. Yeah, Tevor. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:24

Of course.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:24

You said it's just easier for people to call you Fitz, right? Yep. Yeah. So you got three different names now.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:32

But first we thought you worked for the government because we seen these names on the internet, and I'm like, and then we seen it on MRP, and I'm like, okay, this guy might be working for some Soviet game or something. S V I KGB. It's not Chinese because you don't have squinny eyes, but they could be Russian.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:49

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:49

No, we're far from it.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:51

Okay, good. Well, man, you know, just talking about your recent success. Um, we'll get into some of the backstory, but just for like right now, dude, your shit's been good. Like, you've had some really good results. Um yeah, just like I'm watching the 28 card and I'm like, man, that dude, he's creeping up there. Like, just I feel like you've here recently kind of solidified yourself as like one of the top five mod guys in the state. Like, you're gonna be you're there. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10 1:15:26

It's it's been fun. Yeah. I've been uh everyone that knows me, I'm kind of like a scientist in the garage. It's I send Snapchats of all kinds of stupid stuff. I'm trying. So how come I don't have you on a Snapchat? You do, you just don't ever reply. I send you. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:38

SPEAKER_10 1:18:33

No, he ain't.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:35

Wow. Anyway, keep going. I feel like you have more stories about some of these California guys that have been out here, and I like it.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:42

Um let's see who moved out next. Uh Cody Johnson. He uh he flies back and forth. He actually won a race on Wednesday in California. He's using my tire guy.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:50

Is uh that's the 22 sport mod?

SPEAKER_10 1:18:53

No, no, he doesn't race out here. He races he races one of his brother's hobby stocks in California.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:57

Um he rents a room right now, but he's he left after Supernationals for work and didn't come back until like a month ago. So he's basically just been storing stuff at that house.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:07

Yeah. Wow. And yeah, that's about it. The transplant. We we finally have a transplant. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:14

Well we've talked about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:17

Well, and in the we've Josh and I have had conversations about this, like, and then you and I had some conversations about like me, we need to highlight like this this you know the transplant era.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:31

You could almost do a series about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:33

Right. Honestly, sure. And that's where we'd like and then Trevor's like, yeah, I've got all kinds of ideas on wanting to do some of that stuff too. Like, man, it's just that those guys that have moved out, you got Laney, um Topo, Hibden, T Dub, Doss, like Hippon, Ricky, everyone, right?

SPEAKER_12 1:19:53

Ryan Roth, you got them guys. I mean, well, they're from Arizona, but but still, yeah, all just transplanting, yeah. Tim Ward. Yeah. I mean, Ricky. It's keep going.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:05

It's a pretty big list. Yeah. We had Dylan on.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:09

It's like TBJ's a transplant, too. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:12

Tbj is a that mini stock that Dylan bought, his first car, that was mine.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:15

Yeah. That's awesome. So you texted me the pictures of that that one day. That's how I found out the the government name was I was doing some digging, was doing some digging on some stuff, trying to find the the pictures of it, and you're like, oh, I'll just help you here. And he sends me the picture of it. And the one of Dylan spinning that guy out, just staying in the fuel. But uh yeah, like I guess what made you guys want to come out here, made you want to come out here like um what was like you said, obviously, banisters was kind of giving you a hard time about it and whatever, but like had you had that in your mind previous to that, like I want to move out there and race.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:58

Yeah. Yeah, I kind of wanted to, and then uh I was able to get time off work and yeah, I kind of just came out here and made it happen.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:05

That's what brought you out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:07

One, I guess, uh I don't know, I didn't win much in California besides Ventura, but I still wanted uh race against the best.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:18

So you wanted to race against the best. That has to start somewhere. So where did where did Trevor fit? Start racing. Where'd you start into all this?

SPEAKER_10 1:21:29

Um I raced like these called lightning cup cars for I think two years. I don't even know when, maybe 2004, on like Asphalt Oval. It's basically a go-kar, it looks like a NASCAR.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:40

Um did that and then got a mini stock, had a fake birth certificate, more government stuff. So I could race. See, I'm telling you, boys.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:48

It's the Russians. It's the Russians.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:50

So yeah, I had a had that, uh, raced a mini stock for three years, and then uh that was done, I think, in 2011. It's when I stopped and started riding bikes heavily.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:02

And by bikes you mean by sickles. Yes, little kids' bikes. Okay. Yeah. Um but you didn't do little kid things on them. No, no, we had fun. Pretty wild stuff.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:12

Yeah, we go we go in the air and bounce off the ground. It's fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:15

Found this on YouTube. Look at this guy. Oh, that's you taking a digger there, buddy.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:21

Yeah, this was uh basically my job. I worked at Papa John's just so I could buy flights and travel and do everything.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:30

Yeah, it was fun. So you worked at Papa John's to to finance your dynamics stuff.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:37

I did a commercial for a Dairy Queen, you guys probably all saw at one point in your life as well. Really? Yeah. It was uh Oreo Blizzard S'mores commercial. Did that. Um that was a good deal. I wasted all that money. They paid it's like 16 grand for a day of work because I was like considered a principal actor.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:56

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:56

Um, yeah, I wish I got a Dairy Queen card. Instead? Yeah. So now I'm moving to the Midwest because there's zero dairy queens in California.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:06

Um, a lifetime Dairy Queen card would have been pretty sweet.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:08

Dude, that's an awesome card. Oh, yeah. That would have been sweet.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:10

Yeah. Wait, so how did you get hooked up with a Dairy Queen commercial?

SPEAKER_10 1:23:15

I got contacted by like an agent for doing commercials and music videos and because of the BMX stuff. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, what do you got going on?

SPEAKER_12 1:23:25

Yeah, they seen him riding down at Cummings Park.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:28

North Moon. Yeah. Yes, I did uh I did a few of those and basically uh rode bikes for a little while. I quit. I flew to a contest in New Jersey. I was supposed to be there for three days. I had a friend call me that lives in Minnesota, asked me to do uh BMX shows at like fairs, actually at this place. Um and I ended up going to Minnesota for a weekend on like a one-way flight, and he's like, We need you want to do shows for another week. I was like, Yeah. Well, I ended up being out there for about eleven months, just never went home, traveled out of there, and it was uh it was fun. Lived in Minnesota on accident. The first first time I really felt humidity.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:11

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:12

You don't forget that, dude. No, definitely not. Now it's now it's hot this week.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:16

Well, were you saying that you were overseas as well doing some of this stuff?

SPEAKER_10 1:24:20

Yeah. Um I went to Germany like a week out of high school by myself, missed a flight in Paris, and it was it was fun. Yeah, I was there for four days for a contest called Worlds. And then I went to France twice.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:35

Yeah. What kind of bike did you ride? Mongoose.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:38

A mongoose.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:40

But no wonder I was so fast up there at the Crawford County Speedway back in 1897.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:46

Come on, baby.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:48

We used to have this dirt or well, it wasn't, it was the asphalt track. Just the street. But we used to, we coot used to live on the other side of town. We had the flags, we I mean, we had all the shit. And I rode a mongoose bike. Mongoose until I clapped that one out and then busted the old Huffy and I got a goodwill.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:07

Huffy's back. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, they are back, but have you seen Jimmy's bike? Yeah, I I see him every Saturday. I brought mine just so I can try to race him or something, but he's scared.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:16

Oh man. I'm disappointed I haven't seen you do like uh anything on the bike of the track.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:21

When you get back from Dakota tour, we'll do something. All right. You got a portable ramp? Uh in Minnesota, the guys that I did shows with, yeah, they have like a it's called an airbag, but they have a big landing in the lip they set up. You can ride wherever.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:36

Content. Can we figure it out? So Garrett. Is there a skate park in the U.S.? Open up your skateboard. Oh, there is a skate park here.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:46

We have a skate park in America in Des Moines.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:48

Which is weird because I came out here in 2014 for a contest in Bondarant at a barn. Um, and I live a mile away from there now, so it's like I can go there and ride. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:59

So you still ride? Like can you still do like a 720?

SPEAKER_10 1:26:02

Uh I can do a lot of the stuff still, yeah. You still can? Yeah. Can you do that deal I sent you today where that guy got a front flip and then flipped his bike at the same time? No, that dude is a uh that dude's a freaking nature.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:16

Yeah, we're gonna have to get some of that on tape.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:18

I mean, that's pretty cool, Brand. Okay. I'm just saying, like, I was pumped up just because I, you know, when they came out on the PS2 with the Dave, is it Dave Mara? No, it's Mira. Yeah, I sent her on the whole time. I sent her on the whole time. Uh-huh. Well, I've just got to letting it ride off. I mean, that was like one of the games back in the day. Like, so when Cody said, like, did you know that Fitz was a professional BMX rider? I'm like, shut up. And then he sent the video, and I've watched it like 15 times. Because I just think it, like, I was a bike rider too, you know. Like, I didn't do shit like that. We had this place called Witch's Tit.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:53

We'd take a couple of mom and dad smokes, grab a couple of mountain divs, head down to Witch's Tit, hit the dirt ramps. We had a crick. We had all kinds of we actually went down there to smoke cigarettes the whole time. Of course. We'd be down there like all jacked up. These, these, these cigarettes are so good. My mom used to smoke Marlboro Light 100s. Boy, it'd take a day just to smoke one of those. Yeah. I mean, I put it out three times. I get I get a high off of it three times, you know. Drink a Mountain Dew, bud. We rode bike for 12 hours. Don't even look back. Street lights come on, we're still headed home. But so I thought it was super frickin' cool, but what what's the biggest event you were on when you were doing the BMX? And did you win it?

SPEAKER_10 1:27:38

Uh no, no. It was called Feast. It's like the European X Games. It's uh It's insane. There's uh they had 440,000 people walk through the gates that week. Wow. Excuse me, what? 440,000 people. So they stopped selling anything glass in the city before the event. And it's free to go in. They have BMX, wakeboarding in the The um the river, skating, scootering, um, mountain biking, parkour. It's it's insane. It's a massive event. Yeah. Parkour. Yeah, parkour.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:13

Uh when you say scootering, you're talking like razor scooters, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:19

Yeah, not yeah, not the electric ones that do 90 now.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:22

Right. Oh, Kellen's got a couple of those. Uh 440,000 people.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:28

That's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:29

I mean, how do you how do you prepare for how do you prepare for something like that? Loud headphones. Yeah, really?

SPEAKER_10 1:28:34

As far as getting in front of that many people, yeah, it's it's crazy.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:37

So did you have like a lineup that you did, like a just a lineup of tricks that you were just always working on, or were you always trying to improvise and come out with something cool or every course is a little different, so you'd kind of prepare.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:48

It's kind of like looking at a track, you gotta see where you're gonna go. Yeah. And then uh I'd usually keep it in my notes on my phone, and then yeah, you'd practice for you'd probably get, I don't know, four hours of practice over two days to figure your life out.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:01

And so how many cool peep other BMX writers did you actually like get along? Like, was it like a thing? Like you all were just kind of like your little niche.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:08

Yeah, we all kind of stayed, yeah, everyone kind of met up at all the different places and rode together.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:12

Did you ever get to beat Tony Hawk?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:14

I don't think so. Matt Hoffman, yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:18

That's cool. That's cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:20

He's a little fried now, but yeah. Yeah, well, you'll have that. Yeah, he's in his head a few times.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:25

Early 90s, the foil was on sale a lot back in the day. So it was hard to keep it on the shelf. Okay. I mean, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:34

But uh, I mean, what there's there's uh I did like a top five at a contest, and looking at the results now, three of them are Olympic medalists. Really?

SPEAKER_12 1:29:46

Do you wish that you would have stayed like seeing those guys have that success and go to the Olympics? Like, did was that ever a uh an envision for you?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:54

There was no right when I kind of got out of it is when the Olympic talks started. So it was basically feast in France and X Games were those were the shits, yeah. But uh And you did all those? I didn't do X Games in America, but the Feast ones, yeah, in Europe.

unknown 1:30:09

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:09

So how did how would that work? Like if you wanted to do the X games, do you have to get invited?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:13

Or is X Games is invite only. No, yeah. It used to be just it was kind of political, big energy sponsor. Sure.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:22

Were you good enough to be invited? Like legit like it was on legit things.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:26

I did get invited to like contests in Mexico and they paid for all my France trips and everything. So that was that was cool.

SPEAKER_11 1:30:32

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:33

Yeah, that's pretty bad. So were you sponsored by anybody big? Like, did you have that?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:37

I had I was sponsored by Monster, yeah. And then uh pedal company, like bicycle pedals. I was gonna bring one for you to guys put on the shelf. I forgot it. Um I had like a signature signature pedal, yeah. Yeah, we'll give you the address.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:49

Wait, you had your own pedal?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:52

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:53

Really?

SPEAKER_12 1:30:54

SPEAKER_03 1:31:00

Well, come on, man. All right, so he's got his own signature pedal. He was on a dairy queen commercial.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:05

You should put that on your gas pedal. Probably has a little grip to it, right?

SPEAKER_10 1:31:08

That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, if you guys ever had like bear claws, it's ten times worth and worse than those. Oh yeah. I remember aluminum with like hollow point pins. Oh boy, yeah. Yeah, tear the body out.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:18

I was just gonna say nasty. Yeah. You catch a shin on that sucker, you're getting some super glue and some stitches.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:24

Yeah. And not in that particular order. Not in that particular order either, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:29

They're gonna dump alcohol on it first, and you're gonna scream, then they're gonna stitch it. That's gonna hurt. Damn. Wow, that's so cool, man.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:35

Like, so we need to get one of these. Yes. We'll see. We'll see you soon.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:40

It's sitting on the bench in the garage.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:42

Do not forget the Trevor Fitz signature bicycle pedal. Yeah, but you're lucky.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:47

You're lucky. I used to be savage on the PlayStation's game.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:53

You're lucky that we don't have one. I'm gonna have to get it on the PlayStation. I got a PS2, bud. We can figure it out. Get it up here.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:58

I'm gonna have to put it on the P on my my work laptop and bring it to the track and we can play.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:02

We're gonna put these guys. I can't wait to see that.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:05

That's gonna be so good. Gee, we pull 911, bud.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:10

We gotta find we can figure out a way to splice the TVs together.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:14

Oh, this is actually a race Garrett Korn was announcing. Seriously? Yeah, that was me and Troy Folger. Go to the end of this deal. We're throwing bombs on each other for for like a couple hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:23

Troy Folger is such a cool guy. Dude, he's awesome.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:26

He drives with one hand and his hand on the thing. Oh, wait, you're already we're already past. I love Troy. No, it's close to that. Oh, yeah, here it is. There you go. Yeah, but when he said he put both hands on the wheel, it's shit's getting fun. That's yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:38

Troy's such a good guy.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:40

Yeah. This is my first full year race in a modified 2019. And I had no idea what I was doing. I had like zero idea what I was doing.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:50

Everybody thought that when you moved out here the first year. Remember that? How much shit you tore up, and everybody's like, this frickin' Trevor Fritz guy.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:56

So all my wife in California we race once a week, maybe like damn, three times a month. So like in my head, we always like, oh, we got all week or two weeks to fix the car. Well, out here you gotta race tomorrow. So I kind of learned pretty quick.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:11

Right.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:11

But these infield tractor tires don't help.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:15

But see, the thing is, is we talked about that. Tim Ward, when he first came out here, his car I mean, man, I saw how many times I seen him come in with his shit just completely destroyed. Well, like a kid in a candy store. There's it's there's so much to do. Yeah, right. And so it was like, and then it was cool to see him progress. And it's no different than what you've done. You know, you come out here, you kind of you're aggressive, you're fast. People are not liking the 28 car because you're aggressive and you're racing and rubbing, and it's it's not that you're intentionally doing any of this stuff, and you've seen that now to where you're a little more hold on a minute here. I'm racing tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm not gonna push this issue, but I'm still gonna push the issue of just maybe not like I did eight months ago, right? Type deal. And so it's been cool to see you kind of transition in into the like Cody said, I mean, but you've really you kind of slowed down a little bit last year at the end of the year. You had a bunch of wrecks and just tore the shit out of your car.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:15

Yeah, we've I think that last year was when he flipped.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:18

Yeah, I mean, you just had some some circumstantial shit happen that just kind of not that it slowed you down, it was just a lot going on, you know, and tore your race car up pretty good. And this year you've been so consistent just running running up there. That that's the right there. Yeah, you just crinkled his door there.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:33

Oh, I tore the whole side of it off. They wrapped it in the pits that night, too. Now, Bill, I mean we were good friends, and Bill Bauer came over. He's like, he tore the whole side of my car off. I was like, Well, use the extra 300 bucks you just got off me for winning to fix it.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:47

Right. That's awesome. Well, Joy just realized there that he won the race. They must have just told him.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:52

Oh, we yeah, we raced another lap basically, and then they told us.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:56

Yeah. But it's just super cool. I mean, what you know, you went from when so what year did you quit the BMX stuff to go into the modified stuff?

SPEAKER_10 1:35:06

Uh well, I kind of stopped riding bikes. I still did it in 2016. I raced my dad's hobby stock for a year, and then I raced a dwarf car for a year, and then I went to the modified in uh in 19. I raced twice in 18.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:23

Before we get off the bike stuff, what was your favorite trick?

SPEAKER_10 1:35:26

Uh it's called a Twix. So it's like a bar spin and a tail at the same time, and there's But we know what a Twix is.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:33

We had the game. Now I mean you can elaborate on it. It wasn't in the game.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:37

When you said it, did you see his hands? It went they were. It wasn't in the game yet.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:40

No, it was it was it was the cheat code. It was triangle zero X, square, square, square, square, square, over, over, over, over.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:48

Uh-huh. There it is. Three times over.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:50

Yeah. Right.

unknown 1:35:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:52

So anyway, the Twix. Yeah. Was that like your that was like your signature move?

SPEAKER_10 1:35:56

Um, no, one dude did it in Australia Um over like a straight box jump, and then I learned it. Um, then I was the first one to do it in France on like a quarter pipe.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:08

Really? Yeah. Well, that's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:10

And now there's only, I think, three of us right now that are still able to do it. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Sounds like you need to pick the handlebars right now. Uh yeah, what are we doing here? Like, what's that? With age comes a cage, that's what they say. That's a good way to put that.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:24

Yeah, so that's another have you had any like significant injuries that made you slow down or anything like that?

SPEAKER_10 1:36:31

Um just overall pain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Knees, like my shoulders lately messed up, so like I can't I can't go down this way, but I have to like go that way. If I put my hands up, which kind of sucks. That started this year.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:43

A few good crashes or just wear and tear. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:50

This is all making way more sense to me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:53

Yeah, if I crash, I'm sorry, I just don't remember. Right.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:57

And that folks means that he'll never be on jury duty. He's unreliable. When it comes to remembering shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:08

Um shit. What what I mean, what's the craziest thing? I'm like, like you see these guys on these big jumps, you know, they're jumping in these these massive stuff. Yeah, that like the foam pits or like foam pits are fun.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:21

Are they? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:22

Like, what's that like going off of there? Like, you can do whatever you want and just.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:25

As long as you don't let go of the bike, you're good. You're good, yeah. Because if you let go, if you're upside down, then it's coming down, you stop on top of the foam and you're the you're the one stops it. I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's a good point. Okay. That's when the suck starts, but wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:40

I think Pastrana's learned that a few times with the dirt bikes. Uh-huh. They write real quick, stay a hold of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:45

That's I watched a video of trying to show uh Cerone how to do a backflip, and he's like, don't let go of the bike.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:52

Not let go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:54

Is it scary? Like jumping into phone pits and shit like that. Like knowing like just because you like the first time you went to a phone pit, then they're like, don't let go of the bike, or it's gonna come down and you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:03

No one told us that. Oh. We just kind of learned.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:07

Took a nap and learned. Yeah, fair enough.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:09

After you got whacked in the face by a set of hair bars.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:12

Yeah, you learn pretty quick.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:14

Damn. Right. So go ahead, Josh. No, I was just gonna say, so you go mod racing.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:19

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:20

You do a little bit, not a ton of mod racing out there.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:23

Oh, I did a lot.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:24

You did?

SPEAKER_10 1:38:24

Yeah. 2019 I raced like 50 times. Okay in California, that's pretty stupid.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:29

Hard to do out there.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:30

No, I was driving uh like Merced was about four hours for me. Holy cow. We do that every Saturday. The Ventura didn't race. Um during COVID, we went to Susanville. That was nine hours.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:40

Push you sounds fun.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:42

Holy cow.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:43

Susanville.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:45

Yeah, they had they had the best fireworks show 4th of July because it I went up there twice and both years it was a disaster. Um there's stuff blowing up on the ground, there's people running. It was it was awesome. I went back the next year and it's kind of the same. So it was awesome.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:02

It was kind of like when we had Dr. Danger in the world. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:10

I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:10

That's what we'd like to hear. When the guy walks in, I've never been flashed out.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:15

And they're like, Oh, this is the dare dare the danger doctor.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:19

He was on so Lottie found this guy. He was on uh America's Got Talent. He was on National Geographic, is what it was. He was on America's Got Talent or something, and yeah, anyway. This is true story. Yeah, it was he brings his guy, I don't know how he found him. And it was I've never been like flash, what does that call that? Flash banged. Did you ever did you talk to him? Oh yeah. The first time I met those guys was the last time we had that that Hicklin Power Sports gave us that can Am, and it was all wrapped up nice and had Boon Speedway and everything on it. And I go out there and this dude is making pyrotechnic bombs on the back of this piece of plywood that his guys had sat on the tailgate of this brand new cannibale side by side. And I'm like, whoa, what are you doing? What is happening?

SPEAKER_10 1:40:18

You just best walk away.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:19

Just I'm like, fellas, the gas can't go. Yep.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:27

This full of gas, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:40:29

Yeah, it was like, I don't know how they did it, but it was a gun mix of gunpowder, bags of gas, and they'd they'd light them. I'm about that. I have a video of because he brought him back for uh Lottie had him for the Fourth of July, and then they brought him back for something else later. Supernationals.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:47

Yeah, they he brought him back for Supernationals. He kind of lived here.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:50

And yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_12 1:40:52

I forgot they did. He was one of them guys fitzy that he could look at me and Cody, or look at you and Cody at the same time. Oh, he's towed out. I always told him, I'm like, bud, both eyes right here. I'm trying to figure out what how what you're building here for bombs and shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:06

I don't think I've ever heard towed out when it comes to that. That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:09

It was a wild deal. And then uh yeah, Supernationals. I still have a video on my phone, I'd have to find it, but like I did it in slow motion. Grabo's coming out of turn four to win the uh prelim in the stock car, and these things go off, and like it's a sick video, but like it about blew the windows out of the VIP tower.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:29

Everybody in the infield thought that somebody dropped a bomb.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:32

Is this dude still alive? Can we get him back?

SPEAKER_12 1:41:34

Yeah, he's still alive, Dr. Dinge, or look him up. I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:37

I've been why I have this page I watch on Facebook. It's uh this dude makes like interballistic hood missiles. He like makes his own rockets, but they just go high enough where they shoot down, and it's just like the loudest bang possible. He does it like in Compton and LA, and yeah, they just it's the loudest bang, and there's always like a second shot of someone just outside in their yard, and this thing lands in their yard and just explodes. Oh my god. It's it's incredible. I'm trying to find out where to buy them because I want 'em.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:07

It's incredible. Yeah, that guy was wild. So um, anyway, going from that, uh this is a good question. What was the biggest culture shock like when you came out to the Midwest? Like, I guess it wouldn't slowing slowing down. Yeah, I suppose.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:26

I uh I was at Casey's, and I guess I looked like I was in a rush just walking around in the grocery store or Casey's. And some old dude came up to me and he's like, You need to slow down. I was like, What do you mean? He's like, You look like you're going too fast. And I was like, Well, yeah, I don't know. He's like, What are you gonna get home ten seconds earlier, sit on the couch and watch TV? He's like, just slow your roll. I was like, huh. That's kind of smart. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:51

That is actually kind of a decent piece of advice, I suppose.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:54

I don't think I've slowed down, but right, right.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:57

What do you think of the corn sweat season out here in the street? That's Iowa.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:01

Yeah. I'm waiting for all of them to switch to beans, so what I gotta deal with that.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:04

Well, we won't be doing that because corn pays a lot of the money and makes a lot of fuel around here, these parts, but the soybeans do too for the biodiesel part of it.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:12

Um the diesel sheet we can raise more.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:15

Right. It's just a boon. I think it's a boon thing. Um I got fuel at Quickstar in DeSoto today and it was uh $385 a gallon. Yeah, it's going down. Yeah, it's starting to drop down. Uncle Donnie's really starting to twist on the oil rigs over there.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:31

They get the straight opened up, that should help.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:34

Yeah, which is what it is. It uh, you know, like what's your favorite thing about being out here in the Midwest and racing with all these guys? Is it the competition? Is it the hot dogs? Is it the Crespitoes we brought to the racetrack?

SPEAKER_07 1:43:46

Have you had a burger? What do you mean? At the racetrack. Have you had a burger since we switched to doing solid burger?

SPEAKER_10 1:43:52

Yeah, I did. I had one on Saturday actually. They are good. That's good.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:55

Yeah, yeah. Good deal. I like I noticed the beef tallow, man. That it makes a difference. Locked in. Just puts a little bit.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:03

I forgot that you guys had got corn nuggets. Oh, yeah. Those were brought to the trailer on Saturday. My favorite part still is the French fries, like it's the salt. Those French fries are perfect, yeah. They're the best ones.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:13

And if you had like a ranch or something, it dips, like they're made for dipping. Yes. It's like the scoops chairs.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:20

Little uh pay attention. Since we're talking about since we're talking about the concession stands, okay? I want to bring something new to the Speedway, and it won't cost shit to do it. And I think you'll sell the shit out of them. What is it? And I want the listeners' feedback. So I want everybody that's listening to message Josh and Cody this week about this new food item that we could have in the grandstands only, but uh fried marshmallow. We've already got the batter. I know you guys got chocolate sauce.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:57

You're talking about the fat ones.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:58

Just a bit, yep. You can get them at Sam's Club. They're cheap. They're cheap. I got a whole bag of them sitting on my counter right now. I'm just saying, wooden stick in the funnel cake batter 46 seconds in the fry. I've already tested it. Okay. It puts a crispy.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:17

You got a fryer in your trailer or what? At my house. He does. Have you been over? No. You gotta go. Yeah, you do need to stop over the shop sometimes.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:25

It's a pretty tricky stuff. I don't think I'm allowed to drive it. My dad tricked it out.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:28

I don't think I'm allowed to. I'll drive a Harris. Oh, no, no. My dad. Oh, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:33

His dad would prefer you to be there than over him. Oh, perfect. Yeah. Because you're stolen here.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:38

My dad built Harris to what it is today, in my opinion. Kyle's done a great job, but I'm saying, like, so my dad still has a really soft spot for Harris cars. Legacy. Legacy, yes. That was a good way to put it. So anyway, we fry it. Yep. 46 seconds. We pull it out. We drizzle the chocolate over, tap a little powdered sugar on it. I'll guarantee we can sell them for $3 all day long.

SPEAKER_10 1:46:02

I've never heard of that before.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:03

Hey, I there they experimented with the uncrustables. They sell the hell out of them. I'm so you know whose idea that was? I've heard it was.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:13

I seen it on TikTok. Oh, bud. Oh bud. You have no idea. Yeah. If I had Legos in here, you guys would see it. Double stacker, Toader, frickin' Steve Canzer. He's just a kid. I'm just saying, man. I seen it, but it's just something for the kids. I actually, okay, I don't, I don't, I think three bucks is too much. How about two bucks?

SPEAKER_07 1:46:36

It's like a s'more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:38

Oh no, no, it is a s'more.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:39

Right.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:40

Literally.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:40

Have you seen the big marshmallows that have chocolate in the middle of them? Yes. Okay. I think that I don't think that'd be the same. I don't think it would be the same.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:47

It won't be the same now because I, you know, have you had the ones with the chocolate in the middle? They're really good. We had them uh we were in we were at Eldora here a couple years ago and we got them. They're super good. But the video that I seen of it was actually the marshmallow rolled in egg and then rolled in graham cracker and then fried. Oh boy. But I'm saying the funnel cake batter is awesome because it's so the only thing that you really have to buy is the marshmallow. You already got the channel. You already got the sticks, you already got the chocolate, you already got the powdered sugar. You guys got chocolate, don't you?

SPEAKER_07 1:47:19

I think so.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:19

I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:20

They could go gourmet and crush up some graham crackers and put over the chocolate. Oh.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:26

Come on. Now, I'm just gonna go ahead and say, I want to know how many of those we're gonna sell, Teresa. She'll tell you. She'll be able to tell me, and I want uh I want to I'll take uh 3% of the profits.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:40

Although they're gonna they're gonna name them after you. That's fine. Yeah. The bobcat it could be it could be bobcated. Bobcat Mellows. The bobcat mellows.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:48

Yep. Stop on down to get yourself a pair. Pair of paws.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:53

The marshy bobcats. Oh my god. Man, I'm just saying, I think it'd be a good idea.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:58

I really think it'd be a good seller.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:00

I do too.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:00

I seriously. I still want to do the the uh the funion, uh chili cheese dog in a bag with the funy's oh yeah. That'd be good.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:11

Fritos, you mean? Or funions?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:12

Either way. Either way.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:14

Yeah. It would be good.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:16

I've done them at home with with funions and some with Fritos. You do like chili cheese dog. You got the sauce, you got the hot dogs, you got the meat there already. There we go. Anyway. Alright, so we've gotten off the rails on concession stand items.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:34

We do have to talk about where did you get your race car number?

SPEAKER_10 1:48:38

Um it looked cool. I always wanted to be double zero also.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:43

Wait a minute. That's the best answer I've heard. Yeah, it looked like it looked cool. It looked cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:48:48

There was an off-road off-road dude that had a 28, and it's the same font and everything. Okay. And it just looked cool. Then I wanted to be double zero, and I figured that twenty-eight is kind of double zero. It's two and then the eight is two zeros.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:59

Yeah, and it all kind of fills up the yeah. Alright.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:02

It worked. Very cool.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:05

Very cool.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:06

Um I like the I like the thought.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:09

Yeah. It's different.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:11

Oh, I wanted to ask you about this video that you posted. You're like, oh, we sucked on Tuesday, but was it a video of your dad?

SPEAKER_10 1:49:18

That was Oh yeah, my dad doing a big old wheelie. Oh yeah. Did you guys hear that? He builds all of his own cars. I don't think so. We uh he didn't believe in uh in buying race cars, so he'd uh he built his own modified hobby stocks, everything, and that's that's all I've ever raced, and then we uh Yeah. That one.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:38

Like bend his own tubing and everything?

SPEAKER_10 1:49:40

Oh yeah, really round up, yeah. He's always built his own stuff. But he'd have he'd have a dream and then.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:46

Oh yes I did too see that.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:47

Is that Kelly Lyons? Yeah, it looks like it.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:52

He ended up passing that dude and then ran out of tear offs trying to get to the lead.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:56

Three wheeling like five time in two thousand one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:00

And then my uh my grandpa raced, my aunt raced, my dad raced, and my mom raced. So I was I was pretty screwed from the jump. Yeah. My mom raced uh race modified, she raced Supernats in 2002. And then she lived in Missouri. She raced late models out there with MLRA for a while.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:19

Your mom raced supernaturals.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:20

Yeah, in 2002.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:21

In 2002.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:22

In what? Um I believe it was one of Gary Hubert's cars before Lucas. A modified. Yeah. A modified. Yeah. Yeah. She battled with, I forget who it was, I think Dan Fitzgerald for the Western Region title one year.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:37

What's your mom's name?

SPEAKER_10 1:50:39

Uh at the time it was Kathy Pearson.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:43

Wild. Yeah, this is obvious. This is insane. Yeah. And that was that was when I was driving. I mean, I didn't drive long, but that's when I was driving solid race supernationals that year.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:10

See you too.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:21

Welcome back, RaceFans, Watermelons, and Woodchips, presented by Central Iowa Diesel Performance. And we're still here with the most interesting man in the world. Literally. Because during the break, I found a picture of his demo derby car, and he's like, Oh yeah, I did it one time and I won. One for one. Oh yeah. Here's a Fila commercial that I was in riding a bike. So I mean, pretty awesome story, to be honest with you. Like, um when you end up here.

SPEAKER_10 1:54:52

It's been uh it's been a fun life. Right. Now I'm uh it's crazy watching on TV, like all the people out here racing, and then being able to race against them and yeah, people like Todd and Mills and just everybody really.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:07

Who's your so who's a guy that you see either on the lineup sheet or right in front of you, and you're like, yeah, this is gonna be a blast? Like just fun? Yeah, just let's go. Like it makes your hair stand up.

SPEAKER_10 1:55:21

I like racing against against Todd because I I can trust him. Um Malika, it's fun to race with because we've raced each other a lot, and we know I know when he throws a slider on me, he's not gonna kill me. So I can I can do what I can to try to pass him on that. And then And he's not very good at him either, so you can usually drive it back underneath the side. The more you do, the more you can practice though, which is good. And Boone is probably the best place to do sliders at because it it the whole place just sets up for it.

SPEAKER_12 1:55:51

Yep. Yep. Okay, you gotta be careful though. They'll give you. Just depends on who's sitting up there in the booth that night, folks.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:59

Well, I'm just in to to kind of not to jump off that, but I was just looking at this, you know, this point sheet that popped up on your Facebook page. Like, you know, you have Dotson, Laney, Kellen Chadwick, Troy Folger, like you. Like, that's a pretty good list of names.

SPEAKER_10 1:56:17

There's a lot of good dudes in California.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:19

Actually, my son is named after Kellen Chadwick. Oh really? Yes. Yeah, I thought that was the coolest name ever. Like Kellen Chadwick was the coolest name in the world to me when I was growing up and I watched I just thought it was cool. I'd buy his t-shirts when I was in high school or middle school, whenever he was up here. And yep, so that's that that's where my son Kellen is named after Kellen Chadwick. Does he know that? I think so. I think so. I talked to him about it a while ago, but I haven't seen him forever. But like the yeah, like I said, just looking at this list of of names, like the transplant, the transplant, the transplant, you know, it does well at supernationals.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:01

It does well at supernationals, like it's Yeah, when's the last time a Midwestern won Supernats?

SPEAKER_03 1:57:07

Oof. In the modified?

SPEAKER_10 1:57:11

I think it's been seven years. Maybe Ricky, Tom, Tim, twice, Cody. Um but hold on.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:21

See, I I see I if you if you pussies move out here, you guys are a citizen of Iowa.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:31

Yes, but we still like the rep where we came from.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:33

Yeah, I know, but it pisses me off. It doesn't piss me off. It's just like like like uh when they announce you guys' names, we're gonna be like Trevor Fritz from wherever you were in California. Camarillo.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:44

But I'm like You said it right. I'm like Did I really say no there? L's are not there, Camarillo, it's not that, it's Camarillo Camarillo. Camarillo, California.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:51

So to me though, it's like you're from you're from El Tuna. I don't know Altuna. Where do you live? Ponderant. Ponderant, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:58

I thought you were from Tuna Town.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:59

Yeah, he always said that you were from Tuna Town, so that's just what I went with. But you know what I'm saying? Like, like Dylan Thornton's lived here for five years, and they still say Orchid, California. It's like, no, he is lives in Keystone, Iowa. He's lived here for five years. Like, he can get a hunting license, he can get food stamps, he can get whatever, you know. Like, I mean, he's here. So no different than Cody Laney. You know, Ethan Dotson only moved out here for I don't even know if he moved out here.

SPEAKER_10 1:58:27

No.

SPEAKER_12 1:58:28

He stayed out here with Rocky Cottle and stuff for a while, and Wayne was kind of flying him back and forth and stuff. So, like, that's a little bit different, but you guys legitimately moved here. So uh in the first year, okay, I can see it, but now you guys like we don't get that grace period anymore? No more grace period from Bob Cow. Just saying.

SPEAKER_07 1:58:45

But a true born and raised here is is kind of what you're getting at. Like, who's the last true born and raised like guy to win the modified? And what would have been?

SPEAKER_03 1:58:56

What's that?

SPEAKER_07 1:58:56

Who would it have been?

SPEAKER_03 1:58:58

Oh, on here? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:58:59

It would have been whoever won it, I think, before Ricky.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:02

No, that was Dotson. Uh Ike won it in 2018.

SPEAKER_12 1:59:06

There you go. And then Richie Gustin won it in 2017. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:59:10

So dude, you know what though? Like you look at this. Did the all the moving change it? Like if we would have if the movers would have waited a year, would it have been another Midwesterner?

SPEAKER_03 1:59:22

Man, I'm like I'm looking. So I didn't know that. Good, good.

SPEAKER_12 1:59:28

It's a really that's a good one.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:29

Interesting. I didn't know that. The animal Jeff Taylor. I mean, is the Arkansas Arkansas?

SPEAKER_07 1:59:35

Used just to transplant in Arkansas. That's close to it.

SPEAKER_10 1:59:38

I count that as Midwest.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:40

You do, okay. Well, so then Strickler wins 2014, 2015, Ricky wins 2016, and then you have Richie and Jeff, Ikey, 2017, 2018, Dotson, Ricky, Laney, TBJ, T Dub, Dilly, Timmy again. Yeah. Well West Coast. But it's a West Coast. It's inter it's interesting. There it is.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:22

Good on him. Dilly listed as Santa Maria, California in 2024. But TBJ is listed as Des Moines in 2022. That's what I'm saying. See, so it's it's a mix-up. Right. But like I said, I don't consider TBJ like uh he's not from there.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:41

Yeah, he's Oregon.

unknown 2:00:42

SPEAKER_12 2:12:16

We should talk about the um question question of the week. What a great question.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:19

It was a good question. Kind of a random question. It got a little deep. It got a little deep. And it's it's a good one, though.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:25

It is a good one. Um go for it.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:28

You're the one that you go for it. You texted it to me.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:30

I well, I know. Well, I got I thought you guys went MIA for a minute. It was like everybody was like, What are we gonna do for the question of the week? And I'm like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And I'm like, are you guys here? I'm like at Power Blade. What's going on? Nobody's fighting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:12:47

Yeah. I'm like, uh, sorry guys, I took a nap after the baseball game.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:51

And uh, we're not gonna talk about what I said I was doing, but uh it was you know, just having a good Sunday afternoon. I knew that all you guys were gonna be like, oh my gosh. Somebody asked me today. We were I cut a safe open today, and they're like, Oh, uh, one of my buddies, Nick Zelmer, posted a picture of them putting tin up in a building, and I'm like, oh man, that looks super hot. I'm like, yeah, I'm just out here cutting this safe open, and it's hotter than the Kid Rock concert downstairs right now. We're gonna lick a wind inside of this building, but we got the safe cut open. So it's good. We didn't ruin anything in it. It was good, but I'll tell you what. The next couple days they extended that heat extension. Is Stuart racing Wednesday? Thursday. They are okay. So oh yeah, that's right, because of the Midwest Madness tour. Yep. Right on, right on.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:40

Yep, the Ron Little Memorial.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:42

The Ron Little Memorial on Thursday.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:44

I will be there with Kristen.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:45

I will not be there.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:46

I didn't figure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:13:47

I'm gonna pull a hundred pretty normal.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:50

Yeah, I'll be there when it happens.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:52

That is one of my that is one of my favorite shows to go to. Um, however, I do. I've screwed up. I think Robert Moses is gonna be angry with me. I was supposed to give him my number the last two weeks. He's got a couple projects for me, and I got busy and I forgot. Oh, yeah. But I know he listens to the show. I have not forgot about you, Robert. Uh, and I will get your project. Um but uh Elmquistwing question of the week. If you could design a dream track, any shape, any size, or location, what would it be and why? That was the question. Um we kind of loaded it a little bit, like why, when, where, who, but uh got some interesting responses from that. Yeah. Um go ahead, Josh, I'll let you elaborate on that.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:39

Well, there was a lot of let's move boon to here, let's move boon to there. I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_12 2:14:44

I thought that that was super cool because so many people bitch about it, myself included. But they but they love it.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:50

When you when they're comparing it to another place, like for instance, one of them said move boon speedway to Las Vegas. You know, and I think that's uh the dirt, the I was that was gonna be my question.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:02

Is it the dirt? Yeah, is it the what is it about Boone Speedway that people love so much? That should be that should be another question.

SPEAKER_10 2:15:13

Well, long straightaways and tight corners. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. Well, it makes sense double drag ships. Yeah, it makes you uh get on the brakes, it makes you actually drive the car. It's different than places that are just a big circle where you're just momentum racing.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:27

So the transplant put his two cents in on that.

SPEAKER_07 2:15:29

Yeah. Well, and he said earlier it's a perfect slide job track.

SPEAKER_10 2:15:33

Yeah, it creates set up. It creates crazy shit.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:38

It it does do that a lot.

SPEAKER_07 2:15:41

Um for me, it's the sight lines. It doesn't matter where you're at at that place, you can pretty much see everything. Yeah, like whether it's the catwalk, the grandstand, front row, top row, it doesn't matter. It's just there's all the things.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:53

I was gonna say, I think the thing that steps out the most for me at Supernationals was A, back in the early 90s and stuff, the titty shows at Supernationals were the best. Okay, they were I mean, they they really were, and it was like and it because it wasn't filled with a bunch of drama, it was just like you were there, just wild. Holy shit. I remember uh one year there was a gal in a pink swimsuit on the top of my dad's rig on the back stretch because they were pulling motors. I come pulling up through, I'm just like she was dressed, sure, but I was just like, I love the races so much. But my favorite thing about the racetracks is the catwalks. Uh-huh. There ain't no other racetrack in the country that has catwalks like the Boon Speedway.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:44

Right.

SPEAKER_12 2:16:44

No. Um, and even at Supernationals, those change because they bring in some extra catwalk stuff. Um it was really disappointing when they cut the big chunk of catwalk out of the out of the uh staging area. Um they did it for good reason. They were gonna have sprint cars, you know, and on a weekly basis and basist. Uh weekly basis.

SPEAKER_03 2:17:07

I did I did watch a Led Zeppelin documentary. Speaking of basist. But they put that back in.

SPEAKER_07 2:17:14

Uh and it's got a big sign on it that you've probably familiar with.

SPEAKER_12 2:17:17

I took full advantage of that when that opportunity came about. So did Jimmy Gus.

SPEAKER_03 2:17:22

The best part about that was the first two text messages I got when they put the concrete pole back in was Jim and Jonathan.

SPEAKER_07 2:17:32

Yep. That was happening. Yeah. Who's got these signs?

SPEAKER_12 2:17:36

Right, but it's just it's just really cool. That that's what you don't go to very many racetracks. Now, there are other racetracks that have catwalks, which are you know, are unique. You know, Marshtown's got the the connex box with the fenced in area on the top.

SPEAKER_10 2:17:50

There's a uh there's a track in California right now that kind of came back, Santa Maria. They have like the grandstands are up top. You can walk down this thing, and there's a separate area, part of the grandstands basically, but it's in the pits. Oh, really? They have a fire pit, they have like the fence, all the cars stage right in front of it. They have connex boxes down there with food, a bar. So everyone in the stands can basically go into the pits, hang out.

SPEAKER_03 2:18:13

It's the east coast is that way too. Interesting.

SPEAKER_10 2:18:16

Like, it created an entire like that place used to be dead, and now it's it's basically packed every weekend, and there's there's stuff to do, so hopefully it's helping out there.

SPEAKER_03 2:18:26

When I live when I lived on the east coast, like um Port Royal was that way, you could you could go in the pits and have a designated area area in the in the infield. Um Williams Grove had the bridge, obviously you could go back and forth, and then they had a deal where I think they had a spot in turn one where you like could go under the racetrack, like so you could go in there. Um yeah, there's Lincoln was that way. Like a lot of the places on the East Coast, you have a designated just fan zone in the infield. Which is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:00

Is Boon Speedway gonna ever get catwalk to go all the way around the racetrack? Well, that's three and four left.

SPEAKER_10 2:19:06

That's what I was thinking about for Santa Maria, because they have they have a great opportunity to go from their regular grandstands, go over, kind of like Boone does on the back stretch, over staging and around three and four for half of it be for the fans and half of it be for the pits.

SPEAKER_08 2:19:20

And I mean that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_10 2:19:22

Like if Boone can do that where they could maybe go around four a little bit, but they might get hit by a flying mod light or something.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:30

They they never get to turn three catwalk.

SPEAKER_03 2:19:35

They have. Yeah, I was insane. I wouldn't say never. I've seen that happen before.

SPEAKER_07 2:19:39

It has happened, but it's it rarely that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:42

Yes, it we've seen the guy that ended up in the crick. Okay, that however long ago that was. That was nasty. I was insane white. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:19:51

Yeah, that was nasty. What do you do?

SPEAKER_03 2:19:53

Imagine if you were a quarter mile away from the racetrack in a tent and all of a sudden your shit's getting wiped out.

SPEAKER_12 2:20:00

Yeah, next thing you know, you got a four-barrel carburetor on the firewall laying upside down in the crick.

SPEAKER_07 2:20:06

Well, I think it's Hank. Like in the video, like he just all of a sudden he's in the car. He's like, You alright? I mean, it was wild. Wild a crazy ride. Wild. Um, yeah, I don't know. That could be something down the road.

SPEAKER_12 2:20:19

But uh, these questions on here build another boon speedway right next to the current one.

SPEAKER_07 2:20:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:20:24

No, you know, Boon 2.0. I mean, remember when they started all that? I mean, man, uh IA or AI is such an awesome thing. Um but uh I I say my dream track uh I mean I'm just gonna go ahead and say it is, and it's because I've had so much success there and it's right in my backyard. But uh my dream track is the Boon Speedway. I mean it's gotta be. Did you lose your phone? Oh, yep. It's all right. Went for a ride. It's the old tipper. I I do. Just because you know what I'm saying? Like, I I've been to a ton of racetracks, and there's a lot of cool racetracks, but none of them really mat like but it's different too. That's kind of a loaded thing because if you go out in the East Coast, it's late models and sprint cars and shit like that. So I can't really say. So for Midwest, my favorite place to be is Boone Speedway. Sure.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:15

I think for me, it's 34.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:18

34. I've never raced at 34 raceway.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:21

Long straightaways, tight corners, and it's it's fun.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:24

Is it is it a half it's a half mile.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:27

I run the same gear as Marshalltown there.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:29

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_10 2:21:30

But uh you're on the chip like at the flag stand, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:33

If that were halfway down there, their flag stands actually almost going into one.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:38

I've I've actually heard that a lot about 34 waste rate, is that it is an awesome facility.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:43

It's insane. Actually, clean, paved.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:46

Yeah, I got I got a message today. They're having a big show July 2nd, it's gonna be $1,500 to win for mods, sport mods, and stock ours.

SPEAKER_10 2:21:54

Yeah, and mod I I went last year and no one paid to get in except the crew members. Well the grandstands are free, all the drivers are free.

SPEAKER_12 2:22:02

That's pretty cool. Check out 34 Raceway race fans. Uh, July 2nd, got a big show coming up down there. Paying some good money. Obviously, probably gonna have some fireworks down there. Being it is the 4th of July weekend. Speaking of that, though, too, we've got some shit going on at the racetrack this weekend. Now, you guys gonna have the races done before the fireworks show, or we're gonna have to shut it down and then get going again. That's the plan.

SPEAKER_03 2:22:27

Hopefully, the plan is to have everything done. Yep. I'm hoping to be done by 10 o'clock. So one set of features for Saturday night then to to to accommodate that schedule? I would I don't know that for sure, but I'm guessing that's probably the way they're leaning.

SPEAKER_12 2:22:41

I think probably we should have a vote on that. And uh, why don't everybody get on the watermelon's wood chips uh Facebook page and put their two cents in on that for the 4th of July? We know that the 4th of July uh the racetrack hosts the fireworks show.

SPEAKER_03 2:22:54

So yes. So we're not doing the Eve of destruction just because we have we can't add what? No, no Eve just races. Yep, just races. What? You're not gonna have enough time.

SPEAKER_10 2:23:04

If they do it next year, you guys gotta get something. Watermelon's a wood chips van.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:08

And Bobcat Bobcat's driven the RV, but he's done her before. I jumped over eight cars. I'm not doing it again. You could do it.

SPEAKER_07 2:23:18

I went to the chiropractor for six months after that. We can get we can get you rigged up with a better rig. You know, like the like when you drop the egg off the building. Bubble. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, we'll figure something out.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:29

Oh, hey, you guys. So these people came up to me Saturday night. They've got it. Did they talk to you too, Cody, about the Boon Speedway 1992 crash video VHS deal? No. Yeah. This gal, I don't know her name, her, and I believe it's her son. I could have murdered that, but it was a younger guy that was with her. They have a video, a VHS video that's 1990 or 1992 that's got it just says car wrecks from racetracks. Okay. And she believes my dad's on there. She wasn't for sure, but they found it in their stuff. They listened to the show, and they're like, Would you guys be inner? I'm like, Bring it over. And she's like, Would you have a VHS player? And I in the heat of the moment. I'm like, Yeah. Even though I don't know how to do one. Yeah. Any of us have a VHS player. I'm pretty sure I do. I've got one. I knew Josh did. Farm Kid keep like that. Oh yeah. So so then this is about Randy keeping everything, but now he's got it.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:29

Actually, it works.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:30

Oh so then, remember when I brought up that we need to do uh the sumo wrestling bouncy ball boots? Yes. They have six of them and they're willing to donate them to the racing. No way. Yes way. Oh sumo suits? The sumo. Yeah, the bells.

SPEAKER_10 2:24:44

I I always I always thought if two drivers wanted to fight, they gotta put them in those on the front stretch and let them go out.

SPEAKER_03 2:24:49

Oh, but the ball.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:50

It's the ball that goes all the way around the ball.

SPEAKER_10 2:24:52

Oh, that'd be even better, yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:24:53

I've seen I sent the can mean Savan crash into each other. We see we hadn't even talked about that. The start of the whole thing. Right, what'd you say? Right foot to the left? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:25:06

I never said one word to you that night.

SPEAKER_12 2:25:08

But it's because dynamite comes in small packages. He looks small, but I'm telling you. He's got one hell of a single leg on him. I'm telling you. Have you seen him lately? I mean, he's got a couple 16-inch softballs on his arms. I ain't shitting you. That's so funny. Jerry Flippo about found out what they were about two weeks ago while I was at Harris class, actually.

SPEAKER_07 2:25:31

Yeah, he had a special camera on the car. That's right. That's actually kind of a neat.

SPEAKER_12 2:25:35

That is a pretty cool deal. Little 360 out from there on the case. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:25:39

Under yellow? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:25:41

Yeah, Lizzie tells the kids that's the kid that don't like daddy.

Finally on Friday night over March on, because he's he's a top runner, and I'm not that great at the top, but I've been getting her and I'm like, it's uh thousand win at Denison Hand or the Crawford County.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:46

SPEAKER_10 2:27:01

I looked at it from just Google Maps, it looks pretty big.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:03

Yeah, the only thing that they're really missing that could really set that place over is a scalp haters and ham, like they used to have.

SPEAKER_07 2:27:09

I was gonna ask you.

SPEAKER_03 2:27:10

Yeah, because I know that was the thing. I'm just saying Emily, we need we need some work on some scalp haters and hams. So um, but she gave me a little thing here, obviously. Um said Mindy had a passion for racing and and spirit that inspired everyone around her. Um, after a courageous battle with breast cancer, her legacy continues to live on through the racing community she loved so much. Um she was her uncle and cousin's biggest fan. For those who knew Mindy, you know how important this race is, and those who don't let someone don't who does tell her story and let's see everyone at Highway 39 Speedway on Friday, July 3rd. Um so yeah, sponsored by Finish Line Racing Products, which is Joe and Craig Reetz.

Oh down the road, everything east of there.

SPEAKER_12 2:31:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:31:46

You won't be able to park back.

SPEAKER_12 2:31:48

Yeah. So basically uh people, if is when you pull on the pit gates there, anything to your right, all the way to Motorsports Warehouse, just keep on going. And don't be thinking you're gonna come down and pit in my area because we'll fight about it. You're gonna be there Saturday? No. Yeah, so you're going to the Dakota. But I've got a camera set up down there, so I know where I'm gonna do it. Are you gifting that spot? I'm not gifting it. Fitzsi, if you want a pair cranny, you can go ahead. Oh, see you there. Spot 51, how much you want to give? I'll do to give 25.

SPEAKER_10 2:32:18

Todd Zillow said I could pit next to him.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:20

Yeah. Well, Todd's pretty close. Todd has to clear that with me because those are my spots.

SPEAKER_10 2:32:24

Oh, really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:25

I got five of them.

SPEAKER_10 2:32:27

Big dog.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:28

No, I don't. My dad does.

SPEAKER_07 2:32:31

Four.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:32

No, five.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:33

Sure?

SPEAKER_02 2:32:34

Uh 50?

SPEAKER_07 2:32:36

This is gonna get awkward. To 55. That's five. Actually, 50, including 50 and 55. That would be six.

SPEAKER_10 2:32:44

Six. That's right. Zero.

SPEAKER_07 2:32:47

Got no idea. That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_10 2:32:51

We do math good. We do out here in the Midwest, buddy. Yep.

SPEAKER_07 2:32:55

We're not. What's the saying? We're not good.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:58

We're not good readers, but we're good picture lookers. That's right. So we are the couple of tasks we have over this course of this week. We need to find out what uh where Kurt Knehouse teaches school at. So maybe we need to have a field day with Kurt Kneehouse. If he's the art teacher, how come we haven't got one race car painting from him or any of his kids? Okay.

SPEAKER_07 2:33:19

I could be totally off on that. You could be totally off.

SPEAKER_12 2:33:22

He's probably like the orchestra teacher or something.

SPEAKER_07 2:33:24

I'm going to text him right when this is over. Yeah. Kurt, what do you teach? Right.

SPEAKER_03 2:33:28

Well, I think he doesn't he teaches in Marshalltown, right? Oh, he does?

SPEAKER_12 2:33:32

I think so. He might. You know what he his response is going to be? I try to teach Rachers the IMCA rules every weekend.

SPEAKER_07 2:33:38

That's and none of them. I think you are listening so stubborn.

SPEAKER_03 2:33:42

Yeah. In 2017, he got a regional art educator award. Josh was right. Thank you. That's awesome. Thank you very much. Honored by National Art Educators Association. Very cool. Kurt Knehouse, just one of the nicest guys.

SPEAKER_07 2:34:00

Seriously, Kirk's so nice.

SPEAKER_12 2:34:01

He's nice unless he's telling you your DQ to dock two spots. Correct. Still remember that. He's still nice about it. Yep. Um that's awesome. Guys, we kind of we we went through the Elmquest towing question of the week. We talked about some of these cool ass race car drivers. Now we need to get into uh the Adobe Lounge Top Shelf Power Rankings. Oh, yeah, you got them on here, right? We do have them on here.

SPEAKER_07 2:34:26

They are uh they're up for discussion.

SPEAKER_12 2:34:29

June has basically reshaped all these, and I want to know whoever reshaped it because I think it's bullshit.

SPEAKER_07 2:34:34

Yep. Um you say that every week.

SPEAKER_12 2:34:36

Right.

SPEAKER_10 2:34:37

I do say that every week.

SPEAKER_07 2:34:39

If you picture the banana peel right next to your car, uh, sliding right out of the power rankings because you're not in there this week at all.

SPEAKER_03 2:34:49

I know. That's fine. So did you say banana peel sliding you right out of the power? Yeah, he did. That's pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_07 2:34:57

I'm not an announcer, but I stayed at a holiday in once. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:00

Guess what? My power rankings went right to the top of the charts at Cassuth. Yes, they did. And Marshalltown. So kick rocks.

SPEAKER_07 2:35:08

I don't think anybody's touching you at Classooth. I think you got that place wound up. Every time you go, you win. Um two for two up there. I mean, just we are two for two up there.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:16

I think it's the hamburgers and the hot dogs. They're a lot better. They're good. Could be. They're good up there.

SPEAKER_07 2:35:21

Uh Todd Shute went to the top of the overall, which I mean he's been kind of pretty fast lately.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:27

So he is the overall.

SPEAKER_07 2:35:29

He is the overall. Yep. Um Trevor Fitz jumped up. Uh and it didn't our whole setup, it gave us we can talk about it, but it didn't give us the graphics. So I gotta get that fixed and then we'll get that posted this week. So been having some hiccups with the the graphic the last couple weeks. So we'll get her fixed. But uh Mills, obviously staying fast. Trevor's right in there. Um, Isaac Malicote, Corey Sauerman for the mods. Uh stock cars, if you're not a Smith, you're not at the top two. So uh Doug and Devin. And uh and it's funny that Dave isn't up in there, but he's he's had some off, you know.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:12

It's the older brother thing. He just gets the shit, you know.

SPEAKER_07 2:36:18

Yep, yep. Tyler Pickett, Jimmy Gustin, uh, Matthew Meinickey, and then your sport mods, Cam Reimers.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:26

But and how does he become the number one? See, I think this whole I think that's bogus. It's the it wasn't even there.

SPEAKER_07 2:36:32

It's the recency thing.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:34

What do you mean recency? It takes into consideration. So, okay, hold on. Let me let me let me ask this before I go hog on you. So, does it take the current week? So, like it took Saturday plus the two so did we ever figure out all it does all the weeks.

SPEAKER_07 2:36:48

It does all the weeks.

SPEAKER_03 2:36:49

But it's the recent ones are weighted higher, weighted higher for more recent weeks.

SPEAKER_07 2:36:53

Yep. The closer you are, the more those are I'll let you guys have it.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:58

Sorry, I blew up.

SPEAKER_07 2:36:59

Yep, no, it's all good.

SPEAKER_12 2:37:01

You didn't have to apologize.

SPEAKER_07 2:37:04

Mike Smith, Braden Shepherd, got himself up in there, and he's been running hard when he's been there. Matt Avila jumped in there, so the the airflow system is starting to get out of here. Did you guys see we went down to the tunnel?

SPEAKER_12 2:37:14

We did. Did you guys see I posted it today?

SPEAKER_07 2:37:16

That's why I asked. Were you holding the smokes in front of you for the smoke to no?

SPEAKER_12 2:37:20

Elon, uh, when he brought that over, uh, that's built right in there. I mean, dude, I'm telling you, the shit, the amount of air that comes off your right front nose fin and heads back to the spoiler is insane. Yeah. All right. Good to know. We're we're actually working on that. Uh, anybody listening, we're working on this airflow package. We really picked up three tenths or so in the stock car over this weekend. We will have that out for sale before Supernationals. So if you're wanting to get on the list, we do have a waiting list already. If you're wanting to get on that list, go ahead and message Josh and Cody on Facebook. They'll get with me, then I'll get with Matt, and then we'll get with Elon, and then we'll get you on the list.

SPEAKER_07 2:38:01

That's uh quite the setup that we got going there. But hey, I love it. Right. I think it's gonna be awesome. Tony, dude. And uh Chaz Bac is gonna be reaching out because his right front was down a little bit. That's probably what caused everything.

SPEAKER_12 2:38:13

It took air off the off the roof.

SPEAKER_07 2:38:15

It completely did. Yeah. And it added three tenths, and otherwise he might not have been where he was at.

SPEAKER_00 2:38:20

Correct.

SPEAKER_07 2:38:20

For it to happen. I'm sure Taylor's gonna stop by and give me all kinds of shit for that. So uh Hobby Socks. We got uh Wayne Gifford. Wayne's been pretty fast lately. Eric Stanton, Joe Wollenhop, uh Dylan Hill. So Dylan he popped motor hardcore Saturday night, so I'm sure it didn't help things, but he's been running pretty good. And Joe Young. Uh Joey's always he stops by and thanks me for giving a little shout out for because he's he's won a couple races this year, so it's cool to see him doing well. Uh mod lights, Josh May's got a strangle holding on it right now. Austin Gray not far behind. One footer right behind Austin, BZ. Landon Elliott gets in the top five, and Grant Anderson. Uh and Grant's been running real good lately, too. So yeah. So uh your hottest drivers basically Todd Shute, Josh May, Cam Rymers, Doug Smith, and Wayne Gifford.

SPEAKER_12 2:39:19

So I mean, you think those drivers are gonna keep the momentum going into July? They think they're gonna keep running. I've noticed you you can look at this, you can you can back me up on this a little bit, Fitz. Some guys are good like in the spring or in the middle, or like it's with anything you do in life. Uh running a bar or doing you like you get stats, so you can start kind of seeing like I always feel like I'm the best come August, September. And but are these drivers do you think these drivers are gonna keep that going in July, or do you think people are gonna have a couple of hiccups?

SPEAKER_10 2:39:58

Todd won't hiccup, I don't think.

SPEAKER_12 2:39:59

Todd's had a really stellar year. Yeah, you know, but you race a modified for 25 years. That's not a jab, Todd. But when you're having fun and you're running as good as they those guys are, and you you are passionate about it like those guys, you want to go to the racetrack, right?

SPEAKER_10 2:40:15

Yep. So and when you do good at all, it just makes it better and better.

SPEAKER_12 2:40:19

It makes it better and better, and they're so humble about it. And um, you know, like what Todd said in his interview, just about um you know, not wanting to get into Paul like that. He don't race like that. Todd doesn't race like that, he just races hard. And uh so to hear them, that was very, very humble of him to make that comment. And I think it just says a lot about Todd Shoot.

SPEAKER_07 2:40:39

Yep. I think you get this is a hot part of the year, and obviously with the corn sweat and everything else that's going on. So I it's interesting to me to see kind of how these nights roll out. You usually get some flare-ups and guys get a little little alley. Um that usually means that Cody gets to have a little conversation in the infield a few times a night, so or in the pit.

Why is it tough?

SPEAKER_07 2:41:40

It's just tough. I mean and I bet you if you had a vote. We all know why that why they do it. It's because you're not you know, the thought is as well, nobody's gonna come, nobody's gonna be in the stands, we're gonna lose money. I that's where it comes from.
