Off The Groove

In this week's episode, we're wrapping up our cold calling marathon with two special calls. One to Gram and another to our dude Sammy Sabedra. We talk through some of the highlights from Daytona Bike Week and the first two nationals of the 2021 season. With a over a month before the next race, bench racing with these two is the next best thing!

It's FINALLY here...RACE DAAAAYYYYYY!!! The day we've waited for since the last race day of 2020, its the first race day of the 2021 season! Scottie and I had no idea what this week would bring, so we banked another cold call episode last week...hope you enjoy this one, as well as the racing today and tomorrow from Volusia Speedway Park!

We keep getting suggestions for more and more cold calls, so we're back at it again this week! We’re in Savannah, GA for five straight days of flat track racing! On the call list for this week, we chat with Cole Zabala, Ben Lowe, Andrew Luker, and young kid we ran into at the Arenacross event in Tampa last weekend.

Back at it again cold callin' riders and talking ! This week, its our third installment of "Cold Calls," and we're talking to Max Whale, Brandon Robinson, Brandon Price, and one special little guy from Wisconsin! With less than two weeks left until we go racing down in Florida, get your fix a little early!

Back at it again this week, we're cold callin' riders again. Some great conversations with riders about their plans leading up the start of the 2021 season and beyond! Hear from Bronson, Fisher, Vanderkooi, ans Mr. Bryan Smith himself. Tune in, crank it up, and tune everything else out!

In this week's episode, we try something a little different. With so few announcements lately, we're sitting around wondering just like all of you...WHAT IS THE DEAL?! Well, instead of wondering, we picked up the phone and started calling folks. Here is a collection of the first few calls we made!

In this week's episode we catch up with Richmond, VA native Mike Turner. Though this guy has recently come on the scene, he's no stranger to the sport of flat track. Hear how this guy growing up racing with Rusty Rogers ended up owning and operating a 3-rider powerhouse of a team in the AFT Singles class. Look forward to seeing how these boys in red go in 2021!

In this week's episode, we unpack the news dropped last week regarding a big partnership for a team competing in the AFT Singles class. There is a lot to unpack here, but we get all parties on the line to better understand how it all came to be. It's awesome to see this come together, not only for Dave & Rhonda to come out of "retirement", but for motorcycle racing in Canada and the sport of flat track in general!

For this week’s episode, we bring you our second installment of awesome mothers/wives of flat track and talk to Dee Dee Kopp & Kristin Daniels. These two mothers are not only married to formal national number holders, but have sons who are already setting the flat frack world on fire! This episode hits ya right in the gut with some good ole flat track family feels!

Episode 168 - Jim Terchila & Danny Eslick by Scottie Deubler & Chris Carter

This week’s episode, while a couple days late, is well worth the wait!!! We catch up with “The Wizard” Jeffrey Carver, talking 2020, what he’s been up to since Daytona, and his unfiltered thoughts at the start of 2021.

What would Christmas be without Off the Groove?!? This week's episode is special for two reasons. The first, because ITS CHRISTMAS! and the second, because we're talking to some of the most important people in the community...the wives and mothers! This is the first of several installments of conversations with the ladies you rarely hear from, but all play a HUGE role in any racers success. First up, Nichole Mees & Amber Texter!

In this week's episode, we catch up with Tony Romo from Dunlop and talk tires and testing. We talk through the new tire used in 2020, what led to the idea to test, and more details about the test itself. Great chat, with a great guy about some really cool things happening in our sport.

Before there was Briar & Bronson, there was Ronnie and David Jones. Before Ronnie and David Jones, there was Gary and Hank Scott. In this week's episode, we catch up with one old school mile-master, Hank Scott. We tap into one of the greatest memory banks in all of flat track as he walks us through his first wins, fun conversations with rookie riders, the profession he found after hanging up the steal show. This one is an instant classic that both old school and new school fans can both enjoy!

Scottie pulls one over on Carter and tricks him into being this week's guest. For the three of you out there who have ever wondered where the hell this guy came from, this episode is just for you! From doing slapstick comedy shows as a summer job while in college, to overseeing the operational side of NASCAR's International broadcasts for 7+ years, hear all about the career path that led this dude to the wonderful world of two-wheel motorcycle racing!

In this week's episode, we catch up with Terry Vance! You know him as a driving force behind Vance & Hines, the company that has been making machines go faster for over 30+ years, but little know about his own success on two-wheels! Great insight into one of the hottest topics this off-season, you won't want to miss this one!

This week's episode is a special one. After two epic episodes back-to-back, we kind of put ourselves in a tough spot. How do you top guests like Bill Werner and Mert Lawwill?!? There was only one guest who could top those legend...GRAM! The one and only Kathy Deubler joins us for a look back on the 2020 racing season. This women is like a fine wine, and her love for this sport and the people involved in infectious!

In this week’s episode, we talk with one of the most famous motorcycle riders in history, Mert Lawwill! Yes, you read that correctly, THE Mert Lawwill tells us how a little Corgi motorcycle started his two-wheel obsession, which led him to become of go the biggest names not only in flat track, but every motorcycle discipline known to man. He also talk about his life after racing, as a fabricator of motorcycles, mountain bikes, and prosthetics! 80+ years old and NO CHANCE of slowing down anytime soon, this guy is the epitome of the work LEGEND!

In this week's episode, we talk to one of the biggest names in the history of the sport, legendary tuner Bill Werner. A man who tells us his life has "been shaped by a series of random events," Bill shares how he went from accepting an entry level position with the Factory Harley-Davidson race team, to running the entire race program! This one is an instant classic! See why it has quickly become Scottie's new favorite episode!

In this week’s episode, we dive into one of the best storylines of the 2020 season, Royal Enfield. Breeann Poland and our ole pal Johnny Lewis take us through what brought this amazing team together, all the adversities they faced their first year of competition and development of their twin motorcycle, as well as what the future holds for the newest brand to enter into the series. With other projects like the “Build, Train, Race” program and Slide Schools across the globe, it seems these two don’t have any plans to be slowing down anytime soon, and I think we’re all ok with that!
