    I met Jeff a few years back when I was invited to come over to his house to hot lap our R/C cars on his home track in his back yard in Lester, IOWA. We had a great time that day. Now years later the track is gone but this fantastic Podcast is so wonderful to listen to. Thank you for all the great episodes and I look forward to many more🏁. Jeffery A Huebner Sioux Falls, SD.
