Explicit content warning

09/10/20 • 81 min

Bracket racing ace and carburetor specialist Wes May is our guest this week. As a racer, Wes has won practically everything in the world of big money bracket racing. Now his carburetors are becoming more and more popular since they are "always dead on"! In our conversation, we found out what all of the buttons on his steering are for (there's nine of them!), his dream of driving a bracket funny car, doing wheelies in the Regal, his biggest win, the round that he regrets the most, promoting races, why he started selling race carbs, Tri-State weight, and more.
Wes and Jake shared stories from hole-in-the-wall tracks in the Indiana area which was a lot of fun. And Wes shared stories about his dad, Gary May. Even the one where his Dad left him at the track when he was a young boy...lol.

TDCS028 Jeff Serra

Badass bracket racer and design guru Jeff Serra joins the show this week. Jeff was an interesting interview and although it took him a few minutes to get warmed up, once he downed a few man cans of beer, things got fun! We asked him about racing for Steve Witherow, racing with his brother Sean, the mental aspect of racing, how his momma didn't raise no bitch, who he looks up to in racing, and how he got started in the design business.
Once he was loosened up, Jeff told us his version of the water park slide story that Chris Gulitti covered in an earlier episode. That story never gets old. Jeff got "salty" with Jake throughout the episode which was entertaining. He also compared Jr. dragsters to shopping carts and gave us his thoughts on cheating.

TDCS030 Caleb Ellison with Big Jed

The BTE Labor Day 100K champion Caleb Ellison joins the show this week to talk Footbrake racing at Bristol with Big Jed, Jared Pennington and our crew.

This was a fun episode since there were so many stories from the 100K race weekend. Caleb is rising star in our sport and Big Jed is one of the top names in the sport. To have both on the podcast was really cool. We had lots of fun, hope you enjoy.
