Speaking about tires part, I seen Ryan Mitchell entering 3 different race categories, and he only brought 1 set of tires, he finaled all 3, lost all because 13 races on 1 set, but then because kantu crossed line before finnish line Ryan won, but because he finaled 3 he took home more than the 2 other finals who beat him, imagine entering 3 cats and only 1 set, and the track is called YELLOW BELLY,( I THINK) BEATERBOMB ID LIKE TO SEE YOU AT THE RACE WERE THE SHUT DOWN IS BIG HILL. I remember Tommy racing first time with the falcon and the hill was scary until he actually raced 1st round and it was no different. Just looks crazy and war in the woods is basically middle line is grass, its your focus has to be anything wrong lift ASAP, some crashes are driver's trying to get of grass and back on power and car isn't straight..YOU GET ON GRASS, YOU STOP AND RACE ANOTHER DAY..SEEN SOME BAD CRASHES THERE, CHEIF WENT AND CAR BARLEY FIT..BUT HE GOT IT DOWN AND WON BIG TIRE. BEATERBOMB YOUR RIGHT UP THEIR WITH THE FASTEST IN AMERICA AND IMO BILLY AND TOMMY AND CHEIF, DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE SO CALLED " FASTEST IN AMERICA WITHOUT PROVEN CARS CONSISTENTLY WINNING OR LOSING ON FLIP OF COIN AND BAD LANE, OR JUST NOT FASTEST LANE ON THE DAY..LEFT RYAN MITCHELL AND LOTS MORE SMALL TIRE CARS CONSISTENTLY GETTING TO FINAL AND WIN SOME AND LOSE..THIS SMALL TIRE CASHDAYS IS ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING TO ME, WHY ? THIS CASHDAYS WAS FOR IMO THE DRIVERS MENTIONED AND THE WHOLE LOT MORE BUT CONVENIENTLY NPK FINNISHED BEFORE AND THEY GET INVITED AND OTHERS ON SMALL TIRE DON'T, THIS REALLY ANNOYED ME, JJ INVITED AND BASICALLY JJ BRINGS ABOUT 6-8 OTHERS WHO LITTERLY TOOK OTHERS SPOTS...I COULD SAY MORE BUT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU GUYS, SORRY FOR NOVEL COMMENT BUT COME ON CAN'T EVEN HAVE CASHDAYS WITHOUT THE OG SMALL TIRE DRIVERS AND CARS AND YES I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY PROTECT THEIR SHOW AND NOT INVITING THE SMALL TIRE GUYS FIRST AND THEN IF ROOM PICK TOP 8 FROM NPK...THE SMALL TIRE GUYS ARE FAST IF NOT FASTER THAN THE NPK GUYS ON STREET..REMEMBER ENDGAME, RYAN MARTIN BRINGS 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION?? LET'S JUST SAY SHAWN NOVA BECAUSE HE AIN'T MURDERED ANYONE IN THAT CHEIF TUNED " MURDER NOVA NO 1 FOR 3 STRAIGHT YEARS " LEAVES AND HOW IN TF IS HE PICKED OVER CHEIF?? SORRY LADS BACK TO TALKING ABOUT YOU GUYS, SORRY BITTER TASTE STILL..

@@wordonthestreetsrc guys what's your other KZbin channel where you guys race your dad and etc? I lost it for some reason been watching it

[@davidhale1980]

Being a truck driver this is just the type of content I need while driving.

[@tommyhoskinson3662]

Thanks for watching!

[@Pyle81]

Absolutely, Or for the viewers running Heavy Equipment or even just working in the garage.

[@Brokenbcg]

Tommy is really impressing me with all his great questions. Billy seem more or less comparing/having a conversation

[@jasonsparshott7208]

But in my opinion Billy just conversating seems to add to the other end of a complete package! Works well in my opinion

[@garyclarke2385]

@@jasonsparshott7208 Tommy has been behind the camera during Billy and old man racing, I love seeing Billy and Tommy talking, Billy is genuinely letting Tommy talk about the pass he made, and Billy then confirms it with the laptop, Tommy was watching and learning. Boy he is flying in the falcon, I don't think other's want the falcon until the final...ITS just perfect for Tommy, and watching him in his truck before, we know he can drive... Two brothers and basically all driver's help each other and put on great racing...only a matter of time before chief and Jackie are on...then raggady Anne's driver and dad...AND its just like the race meet up and chat Tommy has a list and Billy adds his style, laid back, CHILLAXING...

[@revtec4267]

Im so glad that you interviewed Joey/Beater bomb - He's a straight-up guy that tells it like it is. It was good that he was open and honest about the TV shows and the bullshit that goes on. He's obviously a down-to-earth family man who takes his racing VERY seriously. Tommy and Billy I wish this channel every success. Cheers from Australia 🦘🦘

[@havocracing6019]

Yea and Joey don't think he's better then everyone else. I've reached out to him once. He responded within hours. I reached out to Billy 2 years ago. Still haven't heard back from him. But let that mf need something. He's everyone's friend then. Fuk this boring azz bs. Yall think yall are just famous. 😂

[@kevinpalmer2975]

Never had the chance to hear beater bomb talk before. He has a new fan now. Great stuff guys.

[@carpenter5575]

Same.. I've heard of him but never knew much about him

[@trickster6831]

This New channel is going to be a GREAT addition! Keep the content rolling guys, maybe try to get Justin and Jackie to come on the podcast.

[@FcoErnestoBerumenChavez]

Just watched again Joey is a very smart and cool guy, i was lol when he said he couldn't believe you did it this far in your truck, that just shows you how talented you are billy and tommy man he has come a long ways hell a driver i still remember when he first used his nitros ín his ttuck how bill wad nervous lol keep up the good work a fan of you guys src, the oldmans garage, gen ll, from Ensenada Baja California Mexico home of the 250, 400, 500 and 1000 SCORE international offroad race.......

Beaterbomb is legit, he’s defeated many very rich racers . He puts in work!!!!

[@KimiWallrus]

He has carbon fiber floors in that "beater." Money is no object!

[@burqueninja5056]

@@KimiWallrus no doubt he has money, but so many of his competitors just drive their cars and do no work to them themselves. Theirs race car drivers and guys that drive race cars, beaterbomb does it all.

[@bikewurks1757]

I love that you took some advice from the old man ...he's been wanting you to do this for soooo long..... excited for this format

[@ericepstein304]

Keep the content coming fellas!….. I watch you, not only because I’m a fan of your family, but because I’m also building my son a car. Learning new things I can do to his LS is priceless

[@charleybetts1053]

I'm pumped for this channel! This is the EXACT kind of podcast channel I need to get me thru the day at work. 👍

[@HurleyLawn94]

Should’ve called this Pro Mod channel. Just kidding awesome interview with Joey, thanks

[@davidwilliamson7462]

Very impressed with both sides of the microphone with great questions and Joey’s non stop delivery. I didn’t realize how together Joey really is with his racing program. He explained why he is so successful.

[@edrannou3914]

This is awesome. I was not familiar with Beater Bomb other than seeing him in some race videos and the times he's sent merch to your Mom. Very interesting hearing his perspective on racing and family and career and how he keeps a balance over all of it. Keep up the good work!

[@CameToRace]

Bout time y'all started the podcast. I hope you have great success with ALL your endeavors. You guys have worked tirelessly to get there
