    Man, just had time to catch up on the last few episodes I hadn’t heard…as usual, each conversation was great!!! Scott’s a good ole southern boy who tells it like it is!!! It doesn’t matter if he’s interviewing a top of the list pro racer or someone that has just race their first race…his heart and soul is in it to bring the best to the listener! It’s an added BONUS when he interviews people that I know! Bottom line-everybody is human and got their own stuff going on and many use this sport as th... more

  • Nothing to dislike!

    I just started OCR this year and jumped right into competitive heats barely knowing the Ins and outs of the sport. Scott’s podcast has been awesome to listen to, get some little pro tips here and there that would have taken me years to figure out alone! also just hear some battle stories from him and guests that have been helping me prepare for future races and look into other challenges for myself! Georgia boys represent Scott, keep it up man!

  • Love it.

    I absolutely love this show. The guests are amazing and the discussions are relevant and helpful to us as racers. I look forward to listening to Scott’s the southern Jeff Foxworthty twang. If you wake up in the middle of the night thinking of what to put in your drop bin, you might be a spartan.
