Wheelin’ – Details, episodes & analysis

It has taken me a long time to edit this (apologies) HOWEVER!: In remembrance of Keith, a few of us sat down about a year ago with some REALLY GOOD AND some REALLY CHEAP bourbon over the course of the day and talked about some of our favorite memories of Keith and his crazy antics over the years. Stories from his brothers of him growing up, how he recruited Johnny into the off-road community and some of his favorite off-road trips/stories, this is THE episode dedicated all to Keith!

!!! LANGUAGE WARNING!!!

This episode is as recorded, Keith and Johnnys last recorded episode together from their last recording session. It is mostly unedited though there were a couple small edits on the public version for some of the content we ONLY talked about in the premium episodes. In an attempt to keep it as much original/unedited as possible, THIS DOES CONTAIN SOME BAD LANGUAGE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! 

Starting with some good beers for the evening show and following some other drinks from earlier, Keith serenades us with a song to start the show and we discuss the horrible horrible thing that is the island boys, and more beers to get through this dark dark discussion... Conversation moves to talk of solicitor phone calls and a deep talk about the matrix series and the new Ghostbusters movie! Titanic 2 and some other movies being discussed... Then they get into some reactions to some movie spoof trailers.

Alcohol and racing have deep roots. The guys talk about some of the bootlegging days that created NASCAR as well as why certain brands were more popular than others. Why did these early back road racers prefer certain engine swaps and how did they influence modern racing? Were brakes or big motors more important?

Moving into more updates with the Wheels in the Woods event including a new sponsor this year along with a returning sponsor who has been with the event since the start.
