Ep.53 NASCAR is back ... We have spent 2 weeks watching the most controversial Olympic Games ever...The opening ceremony... WTF... Boxing, Breakdancing, Shooting ... and then Richmond said HOLD MY BEER

While we all became couch experts in Olympic sports and cheered our athletes to every medal we won, WE were hard at work at Queensland Raceway watching the Speed Series perform medal winning racing.... with as much controversy thanks as always to www.gamelife.com.au

Welcome to the split. We have divided the Aussie and International Racing over 2 separate poddys. This week we had more water flowing out of the eyes of Lewis fans than on track at the British F1 GP at Silverstone and NASCAR returned to the streets of Chicago and possibly the greatest Xfinity battle in the history of Xfinity between Kyle Larson and SVG.. The Giz is the Shiz and then Mother Nature brought the chaos for the Cup race on Sunday. Thanks as always to www.gamelife.com.au

Ep46. Aussie Racing Edition - Grab your Beer Of The Week cos we did and enjoy. Supercars hit the track at Townsville, Super 2s went full Super 2 while the Porsches and the T86s tried to give them a run for their money by not just hitting the track but each other and the walls as well. Last round we saw the conception of an Aussie Racing Car and now there were 40 of them on track going 5 wide full like a hoard of angry matchbox cars getting fired out of the old Hot Wheels launcher. Welcome to the new format - We have split the poddy into Aussie Racing categories and International Racing categories into their own poddys so Ep 47 covers the F1 GP at Silverston and the return to the streets of Chicago for the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup. That's twice as much for the same price in bite sized pieces. Thanks to www.gamelife.com.au

We are Geed up for Supercars racing at Townsville. The F1 Austrian GP got willing ... who knew you can't door a car without doors... and NASCAR went full NASCAR into 5 overtimes.... car racing is fun..
