Smalls vs McFall

On this episode of ITG (In The Groove) we brought back Larry "The Legend" McFall to keep the flow going. Our second guest is the known around the North Dakota area for his aggressive driving style over the years. The 75 Machine of Justing "smalls" Medler lets us have it from the word go. It wasn't even 5 seconds into the feed before Smalls let the choice words fly and the cold ones open. We touched on a few key topics of what we all can do to make racing better. As we all have a very strong love and passion for the sport of racing, we think that together we can make the community grow. Smalls talks about the calls and the rules that are made in heated situations and how we need to take in the situation and the lead up to what has happen through the season. We all bring in emotion to this sport but we all love it. Larry has adopted Smalls as his own son, and has seen his growth. We don't know what tomorrow holds but giving someone else the chance to live out a dream or work on a car is a very possible opportunity.
