Season 2 is here, and everything has changed.

Tom returns with a major announcement as co-host Paul has decided to step away from the podcast. While the mission to race the Baja 1000 continues, this season takes the journey in a new direction with new challenges, new guests, and a renewed focus on becoming a better off-road racer.

In this episode, Tom recaps racing the legendary Mint 400 and Silver State 300, sharing the victories, setbacks, and lessons learned from two of the toughest desert races in the country. He also introduces his new dirt bike riding coach, Dutch Thunder, and explains how professional coaching is helping prepare for the ultimate goal of competing in the Baja 1000.

If you're passionate about dirt bikes, off-road racing, desert racing, enduro, motocross, the Mint 400, the Silver State 300, or the Baja 1000, this episode is for you.
