The motorsports industry is a great place to grow and learn. Success comes easy to some because they are in the right place at the right time or they were raised racing and got sponsorships at a young age. For the other 98% people in the industry, they have to figure it out on their own which can take years! Rich Larsen fell into that 98% but has risen and is now in the lower percent class of riders! In this episode Rich explains that even though we are not raised in the industry with parents that race, you can still find success and sponsorships plus there is lots of room for growth!

Follow Rich as he continues to chase his dreams and helps others along the way!

When searching for a product to purchase, sometimes it takes a few hours of screen time to find the perfect product. The DRC GyroStand may have taken a few hours to find, but it ended up being worth the effort. 

This stand is unique because it folds up to a great compact size, but is strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy wheels. With this stand I was able to static balance a few wheels and also test wheel bearings. The technique will take a few minutes to figure out, but once you do, you will be able to balance or true your wheel.

Check out the website at http://drcproducts.com/tool/wheel/d36-52-110/index.html to learn more about the stand and then check out your local WPS dealer to purchase one for yourself.
