Steve Matthes and Phil Nicoletti got a call from “the President” on PulpMX Show #681. Gas prices, Lake America, Canada becoming the 51st state, and Phil’s taxes all come up.
The real caller is Christian Kauffman, Nate Thrasher’s mechanic at Star Racing Yamaha. He’s leaving moto for Cadillac’s Formula 1 program, along with Brent Duffe. He talks about five years with Nate, getting from Connecticut to Star, finding the show while mowing a Christmas tree farm, and how Star replaces all the staff it’s losing.
