In this super duper episode, Mental (thankfully) has worn out his voice, Jeff almost drifts into an old lady, Chris is a lumberjack and that's OK, and Chrissy is no longer scared of rain.   Really we talk about our usual shtick with a lot of what we are working on and a new 3 Pedal Mafia car, news and notes, and the main topic: racing with family.  Is it a terrible idea to race with family, or the worst idea?  We talk about our own experiences and give some listener feedback on the subject, things to think about and how to make it work OK-ish.  Chrissy is back with Just the Tip!
