Episode 44: Glen Beaton - Slade Precision Shock Australia
From V8 Supercars workshops to the heart of sprintcar pits, Glen Beaton’s story is all about chasing racing at the highest level. He takes us through his journey from volunteering at the track, to criss-crossing America with the World of Outlaws, winning a championship in 2010, and eventually bringing that knowledge back to Australia to crew for names like James McFadden, Jason Meyers, Jock Goodyer and Taylor Milling.
Glen opens up about the grind of life on the road, the crucial role of a crew chief, and the teamwork it takes to win at the top. He also dives into building Slade Shocks in Australia—helping teams with setups, mentoring crews, and explaining why nothing beats track time and hands-on learning.
We also talk family life, making the move to WA, and Glen’s big plans to grow his shock business and coaching program. It’s an episode packed with insight, laughs, and the kind of stories only someone who’s lived it can share.
