With the web wheelers ball coming up, and Tony from Rock Raisin Fab staying with us what better of a time to talk about the shit show that is brewing? A bit of tech on the new chassis coming to market from RRF and last but not least....super duties doing the not fun thing, 47re's doing the dodge thing, and yeah!

Sometimes just a name is enough, especially when it has been earned.

Graham and Luke joined the Walt's crew for the Great American Walt and we roped Nick into joining us to tell the story. Cody and Richie provide feedback and mock Luke. It was a great Episode to record. SMORR is an awesome park, the Walt's are fucking awesome, good times great people.  Onlywalt's i...
