For Grant Johnson, motorsport is all about having fun. If he's not having fun, he's not going to race. So how did this late bloomer to motorsport end up competing in the V8 Utes series?

With stints as a privateer in Supercars, Bathurst 1000 entries and trips to Sepang, hear his story about his motorsport journey so far and we ask him the big question, what's next for Grant Johnson?

Karting, Hyundai Excels, Super 3, Super 2, Supercars, GT, Targa and so much more, he's traded paints with the best of the best in Australian motorsport and he's not done yet.

Get an insight into what it takes at the top level and what his plans are for two snails and a Lambo.

A while ago we spoke with Ian Board from the Junior Dragsters here in Western Australia. We mainly spoke about the association, history of the sport and the various competitors in it.

In this episode, recorded back in 2021, we very much focus on the family racing history and future.

An avid indoor karter, which we won't hold against him, he tried his hand at Sim Racing where he ended up on the radar of quite a few people in the WA Motorsport scene before finally stepping into an Excel, this week's guest celebrated what a lot of people perhaps may not celebrate .. a 7th position!

Madison Brown is one determined woman. No matter what happens, she will end up in motorsport and from our chat, it would appear anything else is not an option!

Have a listen as she tells us about the step up from junior dragsters into a 2000 HP Funny Car and the history behind the family's beloved Boston Strangler.

Tayla Dicker comes from a family of racers but has forged her own path with her racing career. With a stint in Karts, Formula Fords and Excel Cup under her helmet she's also appeared in the movie GO! where she was one of the stunt drivers.

Tayla joins us to tell us all about her racing career, what she's up to now, future plans and her superstitions when racing.

Brock Boley gained himself a reputation as a tough racer in karting which carried on through to his WA Saloon Car racing. Now he's taking a shot at the National TA2 circuit (COVID-19 pending!) while keeping his foot in WA motorsport. So how did he get started? What superstitions does he have and what West Australian motorsport competitor does he believe should be doing big things right now..

From skier to Super Utes driver, Charlotte Poynting has done a varied amount of adrenaline related things in her life so far and her motorsport career thus far has taken her to to Austria for the W Series, New Zealand a day after Bathurst and around Australia.

Charlotte tells us perhaps the funniest first competition story ever (and maybe controversial) and what's her connection with Stadium Super Trucks owner Robby Gordon?

Shane decided to book a surprise guest for this week's episode with co-host Brent Peters getting thrown into the guest chair.

We chat about his car collection over the years, behind the scenes stuff and his ever patient wife who lets him indulge in his motorsport passion.
