The biggest name you might not have heard of — Todd Waddell.
One of the most dominant junior sedan drivers in Australian history, Todd went on to win in a Speedcar, a Sprintcar, and even stepped into Doorslammers.
But that’s only half the story.
After hanging up the helmet, Todd became one of the most respected Speedcar crew chiefs in the country, and now he’s behind the wheel again — this time leading the Pigdon Racing Team #W7.
You might not think this is an episode you need to hear… but trust me — this is one of the best episodes we’ve ever done.
