Something different this week as we put our analyst hat on. First we'll take a quick trip through some big races of the last week: DNC, TITC and the South Australian Off-road Champs, followed by a brief reflection on the second series of the Action RC podcast so far. Enjoy!

Did he really break-dance in Mike Reedy's hotel room? Did this conversation with 10-time Australian Champion and renowned larrikin Josh Pain go deeply philosophical? These questions and more are answered as dive deep with Josh - national champ in EP offroad, gas truck, touring car and a guy who has raced (and made friends) all around the world. Enjoy the chat!

We're back with two-time World Champ Joel Johnson to continue our conversation (check out episode 9 for the first part). We explore a career-defining partnership with Team Trinity, racing with Gil Losi Jr, crazy oval speeds at Lake Whippoorwhill, where the lion-heart of a competitor comes from and more. We wrap with a quick dip into AKA, some insights into the race scene in 2023, and just maybe the chance we'll see Joel Johnson on track at one more World Championship event. I hope  you enjoy this conversation.

Emerging Aussie race caller Mitchell Pratt joins me as we run our eyes over the 2023 Australian season for 10th and 8th Offroad. Who's fast, who's changed teams, where are the big races, what's going on overseas? These and more are the questions that occupy our minds today...including a little left-field Worlds prediction that seems to have escaped many people's attention - have we picked a smokey for Hobby Action later this year? Enjoy the show.

What does it take to win an IFMAR World Championship? Join us as we chat to a man who knows better than most - two time World Champ Joel "Magic" Johnson. Joel grew up racing 1/12th on-road, came oh-so-close to winning the big one in that category before switching across to off-road in 1987 and nailing it at the first attempt. He'd get it done again, this time on tarmac a few years later in 1992. In this first episode with Joel we work our way from the 70's through to the 90's, taking in local, national and international racing, meeting some of the legends of the sport and classic cars along the way. We'll return soon for part 2 as we dig into some more of Joel's R/C story. Enjoy!
