On The Couch With Hooly

On today’s episode we’ve got rising star Nathan Herne who just headed off to the states with the epic goal of being the next Aussie to race NASCAR. Please note, this episode was recorded prior to Nathan announcing his drive with Steven-Miller Racing in the American Trans Am series for 2023.  

Did you know there was a time Nathan competed in Tenpin bowling? Or how he woke up thinking he was dreaming, but in fact his mate Jimmy Golding was hard on the decks? 

In this episode we really get to know the man from Lismore as we chat about family life, why he moved to Melbourne, housemate stories, working life at Garry Rogers Motorsports, the pros and cons of Supercars and ARG, sponsorships, mentors including Marcos Ambrose, go-kart career, Formula Ford racing, what it’s like to drive a sprintcar, early days of racing Trans Am in Australia, Aussie vs US Trans Am series, avoiding crashes, what it's like to drive an S5000, we touch on the 2020 Bathurst 1000 and most importantly the lessons learned, the Trans Am championship epic burnout, explaining motorsports to outsiders and a hell of a lot more. 

We absolutely loved our chat with Nathan and who knew, we weren’t far off guessing his next move. So without further ado let’s get into Nathan’s stories, beyond the helmet.

On today’s episode we’ve got Super2 driver Cameron Crick. Cam is a born and bred racer with the adrenalin bug, putting his heart and soul into racing. Currently racing for Eggleston in the Dunlop Super2 Series, Cam is chasing the dream of one day racing in the Supercars main game.

On today’s episode we’ve got legendary sprint car driver Warren Ferguson, a privateer in the scene. Growing up in Granville, just around the corner from Parramatta Speedway, it had always been Warren’s dream to race 410’s. Warren has raced not only in Australia, but the United States also! A dream many aspire to. 

Tune in to hear about Warren’s early BMX career, growing up alongside big family names in speedway, Liverpool and Westmead Speedway memories, understanding how speedway works (including how some promoters like to mess with the tracks), US vs Aussie Speedway, online dating, wild road trip stories, debt collecting with Joey Saldana’s dad, why some sprint car drivers retire, sponsorships and what really happened while working on the Homebush Olympic site. 

We could go on and on about the stories he told but instead of rambling on, how about you have a listen and tell us what you think of Warren’s stories, beyond the helmet.

On today’s episode we’ve got legendary racing engineer Wally Storey, also known as the grandpa of the paddock. Wally is loved by everyone down pit-lane and boy oh boy in this episode, does he have some stories to tell. 

Wally started his career racing in Formula Fords and decided it got too expensive to compete despite winning numerous races. So, what do you do when you’ve run out of cash? You help your mate! Wally helped out his best friend Bruce Connelly who went on to win the National Formula Ford Championship and that's only just the beginning. 

In this podcast you will learn about everything you need to know about Australian motorsports. Wally talks about the engineering side of Supercars, Touring Cars and managing superstar drivers like Jamie Whincup, the late Jason Richards and many more. We also discuss this year's Bathurst 1000 where Wally worked as the team manager for the Caltex Young Gun's, the nitty gritty of the V8 Supercar rule book and what it's really like to work in motorsports. 

Hooly is not left speechless in many episodes on this podcast, but the way Wally told these stories will leave you wanting more. Anyway, enough chit chat, start listening and make sure you have a pen because there are plenty of valuable notes to take, beyond the helmet!

On today’s episode we’ve got Chris Alajajian. Chris spent years chasing the Formula 1 dream, having raced in Australian Formula 3, A1GP, V8 Supercars, Mini Challenge and also becoming an Australian Production Car Champion in the process. Nowadays a family man with a wife and two lovely children, Chris took time out of his busy schedule to chat with us. 

On the podcast we’ll learn about Chris’s autoimmune condition, the family Smash Repair business, Jack Hillermans, before getting into the business of racing. Chris’s dreams of racing in F1 began when his family entered him in go-karts as a kid. It was not long before Chris was hitting the big leagues, racing for Team Lebanon in the now defunct A1GP, racing alongside Nico Hulkenburg and Daniel Ricciardo in the early 2000’s. You’ll hear all this and more incredibly inspiring stories from Chris, beyond the helmet.

On today’s episode we’ve got Sam Young, who some of you might know from his YouTube Channel, SamYoung 4x4. Sam absolutely loves his Four-Wheel Drives and is an avid personality in the motorsports scene creating content that's a cut above the rest. 

Known for his Naughty 40, we chat about his pride and joy, but please note this episode was filmed before it was stolen in Queensland last month. We only hope to see it returned soon, but no matter what happens we know Sam will come back stronger and create something even more killer for fans! 

This episode we sat down with Sam to discuss business, social media and love for cars and his racing mates around the track. This is a different take on the motorsports scene over a few beers. Trust us when we say, you don’t want to miss this one as it is pretty hilarious what we get up to in the studio. 

In this interview right towards the end Hooly decided to make it a bit weird (nothing unusual), so let's not waste anymore time and hold on tight. We hope you enjoy our chat with Sam Young, beyond the 4x4.

On today’s episode we’ve got Craig Woods, an avid Penrith Panthers fan and race car driver who races for Western Sydney Motorsport in the V8 SuperUtes. We will also learn Craig’s journey into racing including his time in Super Karts and Aussie Racing Cars. 

A family man, Craig’s wife Claire and two children came along to watch. You might hear a cheer or two in the background! Being a tradie from a young age, he’s proven to the world that not only can he race cars but he can also run a successful business. 

On the podcast you’ll hear us discuss everything from football, life away from the track, motorsport politics, racing and more. Woodsy cuts the bullshit in this interview and tells it how it is in the world of motorsports and footy. You’ll hear some great stories from Craig, beyond the helmet.
