  • Awesome Show

    I have listened to every episode and it is a go to any time there is a new episode. I don’t have the budget for a promod, or any other notable car, but this show makes me want to be part of it. I’m trying to take his advice and support racers and local tracks. I wouldn’t hate a little more content on some of the street car things Wes seems to enjoy right now.
