In this episode we are joined by v8 Supercar legend Craig Lowndes. With an impressive resume boasting of 3 v8 Supercar Championships, 110 race wins and 7 Bathurst Victories, he has accomplished all there is to be conquered on asphalt. But we thought it would be interesting to have Craig on to talk about some of his Dirt experiences from his younger years, and if that is something he sees in the future for himself no that he has more time on his hand.We also wrap up The Dobinsons Spring and Suspension King of the Strip, 4wd Drag event held last weekend at Banaraby Raceway. Without a doubt the quickest street driven, and offroad used 4wd's in the country were at this event, so mark it on your calendar for 2024And of course we preview Finke 2023! but you will have to tune in to listen to that.So grab a cold beer, sit back relax and enjoy the Podcast

As well as representatives from all four round to discuss some of the unique features of each individual track. So sit back and enjoy the first Dirtbagz podcast of 2023

In this episode, i have the pleasure of getting to sit down with Ryan, Clay and Mick from the Offroad Racing Family, know as Team Taylor. We cover a few topics, from how Team Taylor was formed, the love for all things offroad and the many highs and lows on the way to securing the life long goal, that is The Australian Offroad Racing Championship this year, and just what i meant to all of them and Race cars from VW Beetles, the worlds first A Arm buggy, Jimco's and GET's to their now all conquering, Twin Turbo, King Shock, Albins Gearbox equipped Tatum AK47, rocking Methods and Toyo tires of course. Hope you all enjoy this one as much as we did getting to record it.

In this Episode we sit down with the one and only Russell Mason. The Man has been as icon in the 4wd scene for as long as both Dan and I can remember. He was (and still is) at the very forefront of Big HP Turbo Six Patrols, and has been messing with them from the since the dawn of time. There are some cracking stories in this one, from the first outback challenge, to geared up low mount winches that are so fast they required a mouth guard operated switch to winch in so you could keep both hands on the wheel. Sit back, relax and enjoy this one, cause we certainly did.

In this episode with sit down with the man that shaped Dan and I's love of all things Automotive and Offroad, our Father. None other than John Curran. At all most 70 years strong and still going, he has been a huge inspiration to Dan and I. Heck we even got him on the OP Rum cans for this one, so sit back relax and enjoy JC Snr talk all thing Chrysler and Jeep (cause he isn't bias at all, haha)

In this Episode we sit down with Jeffro Charles (i.e. The WHINYWAGN) and Nick Hogg from Pigg Motorsports to discuss life owning LS Powered Patrols. And not just any LS Powered patrols. 1000HP monsters that are still toured, taken offroad and street driven regularly. We also touch base on why the different paths, Jeffro with a LSA Harrop 2650i Supercharger, and Nick with a decent sized Borg Warner turbocharger. So grab a beverage, sit back, relax and heck there might even be a story about sand dunes in Mexico/UAE, or someplace like that.

In this episode. Josh and Dan talk about anything and everything. From how are "content creators" effecting the regular 4wd scene, to the announcement of new rounds for the AORC next year. As well as just talk a little trash about some of our early 4wd's and what made us fall in love with the world of offroading. So grab a beer, sit back and enjoy.

In this Episode Dan and I travel to Geddit Racing HQ, and catch up with the original FINKE Desert IRONMAN, Billy Geddes. Best known for his Exploits piloting his Geiser Bros Trophy Truck (best know as HellBoy) but maybe you didn't know about his time racing an Chevy LS Powered 75 series Landcruiser in events such as XWC and WTC. Or his crazy Nissan Powered Turbo TB51 (yes you read that right) green GQ ute on coilovers and bypass shocks racing at LCMP. Billy is hands down one of the most fun people to go racing with, he loves the people of offroad racing ALMOST as much as he loves going fast. He regularly packs his award winning, homegrown, cuts of meats and his Wood Fired Smoker to make sure everyone has a good time. Be that on the racetrack or in the pits. So sit back, relax, grab a cold beverage and enjoy getting to know Billy "Slippery Muldoon" Geddes just a little bit better.

In this Episode we sit down with one of the guru's of prep'ing a Trophy Truck. None other than Mick, from Mickey B's R&D. He is heavily involved in preparing both Brent Smoothy's and Beau Robinsons amazing machines getting them ready for war. But he has been around the scene for a long time, dating back to building and racing GQ shorties in the Outback Challenge.

In this episode (which went live on Youtube) the boys talk about the whirlwind last few weeks which included recording podcasts with Toby Price, Beau Robinson and Paul Weel, as well as getting a last minute call up to commentate the 2022 Tatts Finke Desert Race. To say it has been a busy few weeks would be an understatement for sure. We also play the 'ON THE BOPPA' drinking game, and then talk about ways to mix Finke up a little. So sit back, grab a drink and make sure its full, cause we go full boppa on this one!
