S3 | Episode 97 | 30th July | The Throwdown

Before we start, can I just say, DO NOT TRY THIS ON PUBLIC ROADS or any road for that matter. This entire race was done under the supervision of several professionals and highly controlled conditions. Don’t try this at home. Over the last couple of months, you might be aware that Charlie has been taunting Phil Lammattina about being a less than adequate driver, “Phil Schmill…” “I feel like your a bit chicken Phil” “First loser…” So after much planning, Phil booked Mildura’s Sunset Strip for a Thursday afternoon, to which Charlie immediately withdrew from the race… To find out exactly what happened, you’ll have to listen. Thanks to Charlie for being too chicken to put his money where his mouth is and letting me race, thanks to Phil for being a good sport and organising the track, thanks to Ben and Pioneer Ford for letting us race and supporting the silly ideas we keep having, thanks to Kingsley and Lauren from the Mildura Drag Racing Club and their children for facilitating the day, and thanks to the stand-in Stig, fully kitted out in Nonno’s race suit, genuinely purchased in Italy in the 90’s! A reminder: don’t do any of the things you heard on this podcast at home or on the road, it was a highly controlled environment supervised by professionals If you've listened to and like this podcast, please give it a 5 star review, or even better, help us keep it going by making a small financial donation each month.
