Thought provocateur, entrepreneur, always forward thinker, and Flaming Hot Cheeto hater. Join in on this discussion on how idea inception, perception play their roles in our daily critical thinking. What about walking away from everything he loved in off-road racing? There's actually life after it! Re-invention, and what agility mean to successes in careers, and life.

Randy the driver of the ULTRA4 Racing 4448 & 4848 and sole proprietor of Bomber Fabrication. With a legacy of a fast, simple, no non-sense stable of his own cars, and a slew of those he's built of designed for others that complete all all levels of the offroad circuits. He gives us the low down on what makes him tick, why he believes he's had the success he's had, and most importantly. He's a damn nice guy despite his shyness, and lifelong RBF prognosis. We talk The Fab School, dirtbikes, being married to better drivers, working with junk, and never giving up on this episode of The Talent Tank .

I hope you picture Kyle Seggelin @iwannagofast77 from this moment forward. Kyle is the driver of the #4654, the first EV vehicle in rock sports and the first to complete a King of the Hammers course. Kyle and I first crossed paths at the 2021 King of the Hammers at a little known side-show called @ultra3_racing a good time with friends, 3-wheelers and at Tuesday night in the desert. Where its gone since then, well, you'll have to listen. But be prepared to find yourself seeking out used Toyota RV's and charting continent crossing adventures. From Boston, to California, to Cabo and back. From working for ULTRA4 Racing, to the assembly line at Tesla @teslamotors. Investing in yourself, and how this BeanTowner worked his way into the Tesla R&D shop. His Chinese is so good, we didn't even speak it on this episode of The Talent Tank.After the Checkered Flag-EV West @evwestdotcom, there's a lot out there about these guys, but at the same time nothing out there about these guys. They where the first to race an EV in Mexico at the 2013 NORRA 1000, and they recently had a landspeed car go nearly 250mph at Bonneville. They even have a retrofit to make anything that has Chevrolet SBC or LS motor mounts a conversion candidate for their Tesla crate motor.

The amazing talented Amber Turner @daburrs slides into The Talent Tank on this, another, don't miss episode. She is the driver of the #468 in ULTRA4 Racing's Stock Class, an up and coming personality making waves. From her years growing up outdoor recreating, to her contagious enthusiasm that motivates all of those around her. Amber is the kind of person you can't help but measure up to, and know you are going to fall short on all counts. Her deep driven approach to philanthropy and volunteerism, like racing the EMC, then volunteering to work the 4400 race the next day sets a high bar. As an active member of Friends of Moonrocks, and Friends of the Rubicon, you can find her wheeling, challenging herself, and working with diligence to increase the conservation of our environment. It should be mentioned she's a roll model for young women in the trades, as a welder and fabricator she looked up to Jessi Combs the way the next generation is looking up to her. Having just started writing the next chapter in her life, she is the newest fabricator at Bomber Fabrication alongside current reigning King of the Hammers Champion Randy Slawson. This woman is someone you're going to be hearing good things about for years to come, so you better start here, and now. Headshot provided by Alan Johnson @thedustygnomeAfter the Checkered Flag-The Rubicon Trail Foundation is a federally recognized, non-profit organization dedicated to the future health of the Rubicon Trail.Prior to 2000, the trail was cleaned occasionally but large maintenance projects were rarely done. In 2000, the trail was threatened with possible closure on the Tahoe side. This threat spawned the current Friends of the Rubicon, which mobilized over 200 volunteers to keep the trail open.Please like & subscribe.https://www.thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttankInsiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/

Growing up in Colorado, Michael was no stranger to wheeling trip after wheeling trip with his father while growing up in the shadow of Pikes Peak. After years of touring the world while serving this great country, a decent stint in the highly congested Washington DC area. Michael hit eject, and now hails and races out of Moab, Utah. Here's the tale of how in his Mid-40's he became addicted to racing offroad, being seduced by King of the Hammers on TV, and lured to Johnson Valley in 2018 where he fell in love with the idea he was cut out to breath the dust, and shed the blood sweat and tears having the time of his life. All the while raised funds and awareness for The Warrior Built Foundation. After the Checkered Flag-The Warrior Built Foundation The purpose of the foundation is to provide new motivation, camaraderie and to spark the imagination of former United States service members, while most importantly offering a release to cope with similar difficulties in a positive and therapeutic way.

Jeremy Dickenson @the_jeremy_dickenson jumps into The Talent Tank this episode to discuss the before, during, after and what he's up to now, since leaving ULTRA4 Racing. For 4 years Jeremy was the grease that ensured the wheels went round and round, and the run away train stayed on the track. The life of a Tennessee gypsy by detour through the Great State of Texas. From building & racing off-road cars, "co-guessing" from the right seat , running events, building campfires, trying to escape the rat race and run your own speed. This is one episode flat covers the ambiance and the insight into who has come to the church of Ultra4 and stayed to enjoy our genre of motorsports. Headshot provided by Alan Johnson @thedustygnomeAfter the Checkered Flag-The Red Clay Rally: 500+ miles of overland travel. On road, off road, technical driving. This rally brings back the true meaning of "overland" before instagram hipsters turned it into glorified car camping. This rally is not for the faint of heart, the novice, or the unprepared. You must understand the limits of your truck, your body, and your team to finish. You will receive no assistance, and must be completely self sustaining for the duration of the rally. The rally is who we are, and if you finish it will become who you are, too.

Join us on this installment of The Talent Tank talking about what a lifetime of dedication to making racecars go fast looks like. Growing up as a track kid every weekend, through Crew Chiefing an NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car to a championship. How off-road has played a significant part of his past 20 years. From famous places like The Fab School, BlueTorch Fabworks, Trail-Gear, 40spline, and his current venture at DYI Fab. We discuss race family, community, and what the love of the sport, and the sports love of you means. Especially in times of tragedy as James experienced at King of the Hammers 2021 taking a very bad tumble in the #321 ULTRA4 Racing 4400 car and his road to recovery from it.

In fact, they are one of the longest running "secret" societies left in the world. They have moved into the public light in recent decades, and if you want to join you should reach out to the local lodge to see what you need to do.Did the Freemasons evolve out of the Knights Templar? There are rumors that the Masons were a product of the destruction of the Templars, but there is no proof to back that up. Most historians agree that the Masons were a separate group that formed on their own.Please like & subscribe.https://www.thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttankInsiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/

We are kicking off the Spring 2021 Season of The Talent Tank! EP 41 will not disappoint! As the current driver of the #242 ULTRA4 Racing car, to his deep history in rock sports, years as a professional short course driver, hill climbs, desert racing, and his current position consulting with Ford Motors on the return of the Bronco. Not an episode to miss, as we get to know this Colorado Springs native a whole lot better, and what it is that's kept him ticking in competitive off-road for nearly two decades. After the Checkered Flag-The Pam-American Highway and the crazy race it once hosted. Once upon a time, before budget airlines and global warming, when driving long distances at high speeds in dangerous cars was still something of a noble pursuit, the people of the Americas, the North and the South, built a bewildering network of roads that spanned not one, but two complete continents. Across mountains and plains and valleys and jungles, and through cities and villages and farmland, this network of tarmac still connects Alaska with Argentina. It stretches nearly 48,000km and is completely motorable by any reasonable car, except for a small, around160km stretch of formidable rainforest.

EP 40 won't disappoint with a character who's been referred to as the most mysterious man in Ultra4 and Offroad racing. Now that I know his story, I have no problem calling him the most inspirational human in our community. Current SCORE Baja1000 Unlimited 4wd Champion, driver of the #19 ULTRA4 Racing car, none other than Alaska's number one son, racing out of Park City, Utah today. The inspirational Paul Horschel, @paul_horschel. From his humble years growing up in frozen Alaska where resourcefulness wasn't just a noun, it was a way of life. How Paul made his trek to the Lower-48, and ultimately drilling for minerals in the far corners of our planet. Countries I can't pronounce, but are +4 syllables long with some "Y's" and "Z's" thrown in for good measure. To today, where Paul and his close knit crew are always in the podium discussion with his unique and bleeding edge designs. Be ready for him in February, he's got a score to settle at King of the Hammers.

She's also a veteran offroad racecar driver with 13+ years chasing dust. No way you say! Yes, Unicorns do exist! On this episode of The Talent Tank, we are so blessed to be graced with ULTRA4 Racing's newest face to the LIVE feed, the lovely and super talented Pam Hall, @mrspamhall. Crank it up, put on your American Flag Bikini, and break off the knob because Pam kills it on the behind the scenes pre-running, King of the Hammers photography, keeper of the KOH WiFi master password, course marking, visor down time, Rebelle Rally, and how she came to be Co-Host of the Ultra4 Live Feed play-by-play.Headshot provided by Alan Johnson @thedustygnome After the Checkered Flag-Anyone familiar with all of the prep and engineering work required to make a traditional race car will laugh when they see what it takes to set up a skidplate racer:1. Strip the interior.2. Relocate the battery away from the extremities of the car.3. Weld the doors and trunk shut, then chain down the hood, too.4. Replace the back wheels with metal skids.That last part is the important one, but not particularly complicated. You take a regular, cheapest-wheel-in-the-universe steelie and weld a set of steel plates to it like a fat ski. It’s a few basic welds to make the skidplate and the wheel bolts right up to the car as before.It is with this small change that makes the skidplate what it is: near-uncontrollable for the driver and unquestionably entertaining for anybody watching.Traditional race cars are what they are because they try to be objectively better. Better accelerating. Better braking. Better handling.Skidplate cars are intentionally worse. Losing all of the traction of your rear-wheels in a front-wheel drive car makes it want to slide absolutely everywhere. Lift off the gas and the car tries to spin out. Get back on the gas and the car pulls itself straight, until you feed in too much throttle, at which point the front wheels slip and the whole car tries to spin out again.Please like & subscribe.https://www.thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttankInsiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/

We stepped in it fully, or it fully hit the fan. On this episode we moved this Texan, one of the funniest guys in ULTRA4 Racing from side chick to show pony. Chip MacLaughlin the driver of the # 4 Unlimited 4400 car of Rufus Racing @rufusracingtx did a cannonball into the tank, and we are so glad he did. From practical jokes, burning down trucks, running at the front of the pack, popping motors, with a heavy dose of philanthropy and figuring out what really matters when you are faced with the worst adversities in life. While we didn't talk about HOA's with Chip, he's well versed and hence this episodes "After the Checkered Flag". Enjoy!After the Checkered Flag-Important Tips to Avoid Being Taken Advantage of By An Abusive HOA Board & Underhanded Property Management Company:-DOCUMENT & SAVE ALL communication and correspondence. Keep letters , emails, faxes, text messages, and record phone calls where legal. Texas is a “one-party consent” state, meaning only ONE party in a recorded conversation has to consent. Please check the applicable laws of your state or the one you’re calling to.-Know what your Texas HOA rights are by law. Read and get an understanding of the Texas Property Codes, CC&R’s (Convenants, Conditions & Restrictions), By-Laws, and HOA Rules & Regulations. -Get familiar with debt collection laws. The Texas Debt Collection Act, Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Texas Third Party Collections spell out Do’s and Don’ts for debt collectors.-Organize! Talk to your neighbors and get connected with the Nextdoor app. Chances are, you are NOT THE FIRST or only homeowner to experience HOA abuse of power by your Board members. Go to your HOA meetings. Come up with an action plan to remove unscrupulous HOA Board members and property managers that don’t know the law or intentionally side-step it. Run for office so that you and your neighbors can make the community friendly decisions. As board members, you can control where the money is going and make sure that your neighbors stay in the loop through effective communication tools. -Be patient and civil. Give your HOA Board and property management company a chance to right their wrongs. If you have exhausted all means to resolve your HOA issue before litigation but are still faced with unjust actions, then you may have a reason to sue your HOA.Please like & subscribe.https://www.thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttankInsiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/

The likes of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and even Jesse James. Here in the modern era, competing for that title of the fastest in the history books hailing out of Dodge City is none other than ULTRA4 Racing's driver of the #81 Unlimited 4400 car Levi Shirley, @levishirley. Levi is one of the offroad endurance racing's second generation young guns, and remarkably for how young he is, has over a decade in rock sports. So dial it in and rip off the knob as we go deep on The Talent Tank with Levi discussing everything from prep, tech, sponsors, to the successes and failure that have him at the top of the 4400 game.

He is anything but infinitesimal. Current VP of Marketing and Communications for ULTRA4 Racing and for many of us, our good buddy, Alan Johnson @thedustygnome. While it did take some coercing of Alan, some hesitation on his part, and ultimately chiding, you're going to enjoy the next two hours of one of the many behind the scenes personalities that keep the Ultra4 train on the tracks and charging hard. The twists and unexpected turns that Alan has navigated in life are nothing short of impressive. From his days in a band trying to make it in Nashville, to having a mid-life crisis that made him throw his hat in the "Every Man Challenge" ring at 40 years old, he has done it all. Alan is a modern day Jekyll and Hyde. He juggles his professional suit and tie, bill paying gig in the dental software world with his dust covered cargo pants, flip flops and offroad scarf wearing alter ego. I hope you enjoy this Episode highlighting the guy for all things media, perception, and focused narrative of unlimited offroad 4-wheel drive racing that is Ultra4. Headshot provided by Lona Scott of Scott's Designs @scotts.designs After the Checkered Flag-Offroad scarf? The shemagh (pronounced “schmog”) – also called a keffiyeh and ghutrah – originated in the Middle East. They are a scarf-type wrap commonly found in arid regions to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well to protect the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand. There are many different names for the shemagh, like keffiyeh and ghutrah. One style of the white and red keffiyeh is typically associated with Jordan, while another white and red pattern is associated with the Arabian Peninsula. The white and black ones are typically associated with Iraq.Please like & subscribe.https://www.thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttankInsiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/

We have one of the funniest, good time having characters in all of the Ultra4 Racing family. None other than Phil Licciardi @liberty_mtn_fab of Liberty Mountain Fabrication in Gardnerville, Nevada. Some may know him by his old Pirate4x4 name of "SillyNeck", while more recently his customers have started calling him "ShockJesus". A long time, lifetime member of the Rock Zombies, Phil exemplifies and embraces the outside wheeling lifestyle. Lives, breathes, eats, sleeps the lifestyle. When you can't find him hard at work at the shop, you can find him in the pits or on the road for one of his east coast shock tuning tours. We cover some don't miss ground from recent forest fires and how he and his family dodged losing everything, to what is the Rock Zombie Bikini Car Wash. Headshot provided by Lona Scott of Scott's Designs @scotts.designs After the Checkered Flag-As many as 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States are caused by people, according to the U.S. Department of Interior. Some human-caused fires result from campfires left unattended, the burning of debris, downed power lines, negligently discarded cigarettes and intentional acts of arson. The remaining 10 percent are started by lightning or lava. According to Verisk’s 2019 Wildfire Risk Analysis 4.5 million U.S. homes were identified at high or extreme risk of wildfire, with more than 2 million in California alone. From January 1 to September 28, 2020 there were 44,520 wildfires compared with 39,476 wildfires in the same period in 2019, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. About 7.5 million acres were burned in the 2020 period, compared with 4.4 million acres in 2019.

On this installment of the The Talent Tank we get a look inside race and recreational operations with a head first dive with Ryan Miller @ryan_miller_26 the new fill in driver in the Campbell stable, driving the 35AZ for Bailey Campbell @baileycampbell35az. Ryan has been a staple in the Campbell pits for over a decade, co-driving for Shannon, Weyland, and Bailey at points along the way. Heavily involved in prep, and strategy, he's become something of a defacto crewchief. Join along as we discuss Ultra4 Moab, Rebelle Rally, Flatfender Jeeps, and how Ryan came to be the go-to driver of the #35 Ultra4 Racing 4400 car. After the Checkered Flag-It's the stuff of legend; the U.S. Army requested a vehicle—and drove off in a hero. The Willys MB, its spirit forged by the fire of combat and honed in the heat of battle, seared its way into the hearts of warriors fighting for freedom. Fierce emotional bonds often developed between a soldier and his "jeep" 4x4. The faithful MB earned a place in every GI's heart, in every area of combat, in every conceivable role.The tough, simple, Jeep became the GI's best friend—second only to his rifle. One MB was even awarded a Purple Heart and sent home. General George C. Marshall, US Army Chief of Staff during World War II, and later U.S. Secretary of State, described the Jeep as "America's greatest contribution to modern warfare". Scripps Howard WWII Reporter Ernie Pyle once said, "It did everything. It went everywhere. Was a faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat. It constantly carried twice what it was designed for and still kept going."Please like & subscribe.https://thetalenttank.com/https://www.instagram.com/thetalenttank/https://www.facebook.com/thetalenttank/Insiders Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTalentTankInsiders/
