Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Hi everyone. Welcome to Init Talks. Uh, happy to see everybody here. We got, uh, wonderful Megan Mayer, uh, tonight with us. Uh, she’s a two time in each [00:01:00] our. A world champion. Uh, welcome, Megan. Thank you so much for taking your time and being with us today.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. Thank you for having me on. I’m excited to be here.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. So let’s start, you literally just, uh, grow up, uh, as a drag racer, you know, from your childhood. So, uh, tell me about your earliest memories and how you actually get and all this, uh, things started for you.

Megan Meyer: Yeah, so I was born into it, uh, since day one. My dad was racing, um, and he got started when he was a kid with, uh, his oldest brother.

So, um, and I have a little sister, so we’re second generation drag racers. And, um, yeah, like I just instantly loved it, you know, grew up at the racetrack, watching my dad drive. Um, my sister and I would help him work on the cars whenever he needed help. Uh, you know, the race shop was just our garage, so, you know, we’d [00:02:00] spend nights and weekends out there working.

Um, and then when I was 10 years old, we got a junior dragster, which is what the kids can race. And um, my sister got one as well.

Crew Chief Brad: And yeah, we

Megan Meyer: just loved it. It was so much fun. Even now, all the experience that I have, I still think that racing as a kid was the most fun that I’ve ever had with racing. Um, and just, you know, learning as you go, of course, you know, there’s a lot of bad times and you don’t win every single race unfortunately.

Um, but yeah, it’s still so much fun. Um, and then from there, I just worked my way up through the ranks as I got older. And then in 2016. Teen was when I, uh, decided we went pro with it. Um, and just with my dad’s team and my dad’s car, and so he stepped out. He’s no longer driving. I got to. Step in and drive the car.

And I did it, uh, full-time for five years [00:03:00] and that’s when we won the two championships. And, um, we’ve, we had a really successful career with it. Um, and so now I just race part-time. I just go for fun. I don’t do any competition anymore. Mm-hmm. Um, but yeah, just still try to, still try to have that competitive side with it when I can.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, definitely when you’re in childhood, you got really bright, uh, memories. Yeah. And, uh, bright experience, uh, can agree with you in this. Uh, can you tell me more, uh, about the, the first race, which you did, and, uh, what emotions you get and, uh, what actually, uh, the most exciting thing, uh, for you in drag racing?

Yeah,

Megan Meyer: I do remember like my very first race that I did, um. And I, I remember it because I got second place at my first race, and then I won the second race, which they were back to [00:04:00] back. Um, but that’s only because there was like very little cars that actually showed up. So I didn’t have like many cars to beat.

Um, but yeah, so instantly, you know, I’ve just hooked because I, I started off so well with it. Um, and yeah, I feel like we had, you know, did pretty good with it. Um, I also remember, I. With the car that I raced professionally, which is called Top Alcohol Dragster. I do remember the first race that I did with that.

Um, it was actually 2015, so I know I said 2016. Um, but the year before we were, for actually a few years, we were going through the whole licensing process and what it takes, um, ’cause you have to be able to go a certain speed on the track before NHRA will. Let you come race. So we were just taking our time with that because at that time I was in college and um, you know, my dad and I agreed that I wouldn’t race until I was done with school and got that outta the way.

And so we took our time [00:05:00] with it. Um, but actually the summer before I graduated, ’cause I, I graduated in December, um, the summer before, he let me do two races and they’re just the ones that were closest to home. But it was cool because my dad also, those were his like, last two races and I didn’t know that at the time.

Mm-hmm. Um, I thought my dad would keep driving, um, but I didn’t know he was gonna completely step away from it. But it was just cool because I got to race. Um, with my dad, we didn’t actually get to race against each other. Mm-hmm. Um, ’cause we do a ladder system and, um, so we weren’t in the same brackets, but if we both would’ve made it to the final round, we would’ve met.

Um, but I fell out early. He did make it to the finals, but, um mm-hmm. I didn’t make it that far, but yeah. So it’s cool, like to be able to, that’s the only time I’ve ever got to three. With like, alongside my dad. Um, [00:06:00] so yeah, it’s just cool to have that memory even though, you know, we didn’t win the race or anything like that, but, but yeah, it’s just, you know, I love doing it with my family.

I haven’t raced with another team. I’ve been fortunate enough for, um, we have built up a good business with the race team, so we are able to sustain it. Um, and I know that’s not always the case and it, it’s very hard. Um, and that’s where having good sponsors. Come in, really help students. Um, but we also have amazing work on the curve that us good cars to go and compete and race with.

Uh, it’s just, it’s, it’s a lot of fun. Uh, there’s a lot of downtime ’cause of drag racing. It’s super fast for short of time. It’s just everybody’s just tinkering. Trying to find that, you know, one little thing we can do just to make the cars go faster the next time. Because with drag racing, it’s all about speed and you wanna be the first to the finish line, and everybody’s trying to [00:07:00] just find that that perfect tune up and the perfect parts to be able to make it go faster.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s really cool that you had opportunity to race, uh, with your dad together. I think it’s a, you know, really warm, uh, moment for you. I remember that race, uh, with my dad in Kar when I started. I was, uh, like in the, uh, junior class he was in, do. Class and, uh, we’ve been on track together. That was really fun, uh, for us.

I know that you weren’t just a driver, so you, uh, worked as mehan and a photographer also. So can you tell me more about this and, uh, how this actually influenced into your, uh, racing career?

Megan Meyer: Yeah, yeah. So growing up when my dad raced, um, ’cause back then it was just a part-time thing, more of a hobby for him.

Um, it wasn’t. Actually a business, but we did have a couple partners and, um, so I had to learn marketing. I had to learn how to take [00:08:00] his pictures and videos and how to write up press releases and send our results to our partners and friends and family that wanna keep up to date. And this was before we had social media.

Uh, we had a website. But that was it. And so I had to see the website after every race. And then, um, yeah, and then also we have to work on the cars too. And so my sister really, uh, grew to like part of it. So she went on to be, she’s a mechanical engineer. And, uh, anytime she comes to the racetrack, she wants to work on the car.

She doesn’t want to do anything else. Whereas I took the side of the marketing role, the business side of it. Mm-hmm. The admin side. And so, yeah, so like we compliment each other really well, but we definitely don’t cross over and we can’t do the other referrals job. Um, but yeah, so yeah, so that’s just where I, I fell in love with.

The marketing, branding, um, social media. ’cause then that, you know, [00:09:00] came later on. Uh, yeah, I love all that side of it. And, uh, graphic design, doing our shirts and, and videos and all that type of stuff. I find that fun.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s really cool. So you actually help your, your sister. It’s, it’s really nice, uh, the, the whole family in this, uh, racing.

It’s really cool. Um, yeah. Can you tell me more about, uh, how you fell in love with, uh, graphic design and, uh, what are you doing, uh, right now in, uh, in this.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. So, um, I really didn’t know anything about graphic design or really anything about marketing. It was just like kind of what I learned working with my dad and just what I heard from what other people were doing. And, uh, so it really wasn’t till I got to college, I was able to, my first graphic arts class, um, ’cause they didn’t have that in the high school that I went to.

’cause we went to a really small school. And so yeah, I went to college knowing nothing about it, but I knew [00:10:00] that I wanted to learn graphic design ’cause I knew it is something that can help out with the race team. That was my whole purpose. Um, yeah, it actually, it led to, um, uh, this, that I have now. I just did this stuff for our own team.

Um, but then a couple of friends would be like, Hey, can you make us a card or Can you make us a t-shirt design, or, mm-hmm. Can you help me with social media? And so then I just was doing freelance work on the side, and I did that for, I. Oh gosh. Um, I think like five, six years. And then after that, um, you know, after working with a bunch of clients and, and it was just growing year after year and working with a couple other local businesses, um, too.

Um, then 2019, uh, was when I decided to get into more of the educational mm-hmm. Part of it and do more. Coaching and consulting. So that’s my main focus [00:11:00] now. Um, I’ve started up the Motor Sports Marketing Tips Agency and so we do both. Um, we focus on the graphic design, the marketing needs. Anything that I.

A driver or a race team needs, um, to help promote their brand or build their brand. Um, I wanna offer all those services, but then also if they need help with social media management or, um, help with their content, or if they need help and advice with how to get sponsors, um, we also offer that site as well.

So my dream one day is to have, um, a company where it can just be a one stop shop where. Any type of racer can come and we can help ’em with anything that they need.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm-hmm. It’s a really nice goal, I think, um, because, uh, definitely the social medias is so, are so important, uh, nowadays and, uh, for drivers to find their sponsors to go in, uh, [00:12:00] racing career.

Uh, let’s jump back a little bit to, how was it for you to be. Uh, the rookie of the year and, uh, win, uh, two championships.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. Oh, that was so much fun. Um, my rookie year, I won one race, um, which is awesome. But, you know, we went to a lot of other races and, and we actually had a really bad year. Um, I, we blew up five motors, which we haven’t done that. And a really long time before that or after that, thankfully. Um, but yeah, we just, we went through a lot of parts that year, had a lot of damage.

Um, but. You know, it’s just so cool because I was nominated to be the rookie driver of the year, and um, so, you know, it’s just really honored to get an award like that. Um, even though we didn’t win that many races, um, but still we had, we had a lot of fun doing it. Um, and then. And then like, fast forward a few [00:13:00] years winning the championship.

Um, it’s just, it’s cool to look back and see how much you’ve grown and changed over the years, even though we’re always just like, go, go, go. And, you know, we’re doing the same thing every single weekend, but you, you know, you learn, you get faster at some things, you get more efficient and, um, and then, yeah, like just as a driver, like just learning, um.

I know, I like, think of it like just, you know, just like putting walls up and not trying to let emotions get to you. Um, not trying to let another competitor try to mess me up, like just get in the zone. Mm-hmm. And do my job. And do the exact same thing every single time because when the driver’s consistent, the tuner and the crew can make changes on the car and the motor mm-hmm.

And the tuneup to work around the driver. Um, and it’s like [00:14:00] one thing now that we really try to focus on, um, ’cause now with my dad’s team, we have a lot of new drivers that come in and we coach ’em. And we train ’em. And, uh, usually they stay with us for a few years and then they move on to other classes. Um, yeah.

So we just try to make, like, teach them, Hey, you just need to be deadly consistent. Mm-hmm. Every single time. So that way it’s everybody else’s job easier.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm-hmm. So actually just, uh, like in road racing or in oval, like everywhere. Uh, can you tell me more because I’m curious, uh, about drag racing. Uh. The, the reaction I think is also really important.

Yeah. And you have to do this, uh, consistently. Uh, so how the, the training actually looks for the driver who’s coming to the drag racing.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. So it’s, I. It’s funny because it’s very little training, um, with drag racing, really, it’s just all about seat time. Um, and, and [00:15:00] it’s all about your mental strength mm-hmm.

As well. Um, because like I was saying, like you, like you, you can’t let outside sources affect you once you’re inside the car. And so yeah. With drag racing, the driver’s most important job is to have a really good reaction time and, and cut a light when. It goes from yellow to green and um, you just got to train yourself to stare at the light bulb and see like, when it starts to fade out.

’cause that’s when you wanna step on the gas. Mm-hmm. And, um, yeah, it’s, it’s really hard to train for that though. So I will use, uh, blaze pods, which are these pods that light up. And then there’s an app on your phone that you can set like different sequences so you don’t know, which. Gonna light up. So you gotta tap the one that does.

Um, I like to use those. But, um, and, you know, it helps sharpen your skill, but there’s nothing that compares to actually being in a car while it’s [00:16:00] running. Mm-hmm. Having, you know, the vibrations, your heart is racing, um, you know, you might be stressed out, you got adrenaline pumping. Um. And, you know, you’re worried about beating someone else.

Like, there’s just nothing that compares to when you’re in that zone. Um, so we really, like in drag racing, there’s really not much practicing or training that you can do. Um, you know, you just need to be overall fit and healthy. Um, but other than that, honestly, it’s just about getting as much seat time as you can.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So just, uh, to get used to the speed and, uh, vibrations and everything and be actually focus on only on the car and only on lights, uh, to, to do everything in time, right? Mm-hmm.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. Yeah. And with drag racing, you only got one shot. Mm-hmm. So if you mess up, then you lose, um, there’s not another lap that you can do, you can’t restart three.

So yeah, you’ve just gotta. [00:17:00] A hundred percent every single time you get into the car. ’cause you only get one shot.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm-hmm. Uh, so talking about, uh, this one shot, so you’re breaking in, longstanding and then Shere, uh, track record. So tell me more about this. How’d that feel? And, uh, what did you do in this day?

Yeah.

Megan Meyer: Yeah. So that was, um, during one of the biggest races of the year. It’s like our Super Bowl race that we go to. Uh, but then also it was during COVID and so, mm-hmm. You know, it’s kind of. Like we were in the later half of the season. Um, but still, you know, everybody’s gotta wear masks. We gotta all stand apart.

There’s not very many fans there. Um, and so, you know, it’s just different being at the track when it’s like that. Uh, but yeah, we just, we ended up having like the absolute perfect conditions with. Weather with the track, with how the [00:18:00] car was set up. Um, and thankfully Driver did her job and didn’t mess up.

Um, yeah, it was during eliminations and I had no idea. Um, like I know obviously we try to set the car up to be as fast as possible, but that was, uh, very like. A lot more speed than what we normally do. And so I, you know, I, I just didn’t see it coming. Uh, and honestly, I didn’t know exactly how fast we went until I was able to get off the track.

And then what we do is we have time slips that are printed. And so the guys, whenever the crew guys come from the starting line to where we’re at, at the very end of the track, they pick up that time slip. And bring it to the driver at the end. So I have to just sit there and wait. I don’t know what my time was like.

I know I won because I can see the wind light. Um, but I don’t know how fast I went or anything of the details of the race. [00:19:00] And also it was. Very laid out. So a lot of the track staff had already left and gone home. Um, there wasn’t any like TV crew there like, ’cause there was already, I believe there was like, like a rainstorm that came in so everything got pushed back and so a lot of people left and so, yeah.

So there wasn’t very many people at the track. And then we just like set the world record and then there’s like nobody there to see it. So thankfully, you know, there was like a little bit of, you know, people recording on their phones and stuff like that. Uh, but yeah, it’s just like, I didn’t believe it because the car fell fast, but it, it didn’t feel like it was like a crazy amount faster.

Mm-hmm. Um, I just knew it was longer to run. So once they told me. The record is 5 0 9 and um, and yeah, we’re just like, what? Like no idea. So yeah, we had, we had a good celebration that night, but couldn’t stay up too late because we still had to keep [00:20:00] racing the next day.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm-hmm. That’s

Megan Meyer: nice, but which we did end up winning, so, which was awesome.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Oh, it’s, it’s, it’s really cool that, uh, everybody like, okay, we’re going home. And you set the world record at the time and, uh, yeah, that’s, uh, yeah,

all. I think after this. Uh, so you won two, uh, championships and you decided to stay step away from racing and, uh, focus on marriage and motherhood. Um, how was it to make this, uh, decision for you? Was it hard to, to like, uh, stop racing and, uh, do different thing for you? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it honestly was

Megan Meyer: not a hard decision, which I know, kind.

Um, but I was just getting burnt out on all the traveling, um, you know, media sponsor stuff, all this stuff. It just takes a toll on you when you’re doing it just [00:21:00] nonstop. And this was five years in with my. Professional career, but total it was like, um, I think it was like 15, maybe more years that I had been racing nonstop.

And so I was ready for a break. Um, and then, yeah, like trying to have a serious relationship at home when you’re gone all the time is really hard trying to date long distance. And so, um, I, you know. For the sake of our relationship that I needed to be home, I needed to step away from racing. And at the time I was just, you know, I was ready to take a break.

And, um, so yeah, so it wasn’t a hard decision for me and, um, I don’t regret it at all. We’ve got, I. An amazing family and, um, but yeah, so we’re just slowly trying to get back into it. But like I said, I’m not doing anything super competitive. Mm-hmm. Um, just the like really fun races that we go to. Um, the guys let me hop back in the car when I can.[00:22:00]

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. You know, it’s really nice that you, uh, decided to change your focus and you actually take it easy, uh, because for some people, you know, to stop racing and do something different, like jump into motherhood or like. Some other stuff as well. Uh, it can be really hard decision, uh, because, uh, this is what you’re doing the whole life Yes.

From childhoods and, uh, it’s really nice that you decided that, okay, like I, I can do this. And, uh, then you just jump into marketing and, uh, and doing it right now. Um, so can you tell me, uh, yeah, as we’re talking about the marketing, uh, what the biggest mistakes which you see, uh, drivers doing to not reach their sponsors and teams as well.

So what they actually can make, uh, better, uh, to bring, uh, those important sponsors into their, uh, careers.

Megan Meyer: Mm-hmm. [00:23:00] Yeah. Well, there’s, there’s a lot. Um, but really it’s all about your strategy. And so, um, most racers think that they can offer, you know, hey, most companies just want the exposure and the advertisement, and that’s really not the case anymore.

Um. Advertising is really cheap right now, and so if a company wants an advertisement, well they could go and get it themselves somewhere. Mm-hmm. Whether that’s on, you know, social media or. Traditional or TV or streaming or anything like that, there’s a lot of different avenues and it’s pretty cheap. So, um, you know, back in the day that was the case, but that’s really not the case right now.

And so adver, the advertising part of it, um, has really decreased in value. But what’s more important is the relationships that you build. Mm-hmm. Um, networking, being able to actually be an extension of a company’s marketing departments and not just [00:24:00] advertise for them. So trying to sell their products, going to events that they don’t normally go to, try to sample.

Products, um, anything like that. And, um, the biggest challenge that I see with racers is that they’re, you know, they’re struggling with that, but then also they’re not reaching out to the right companies either. Mm-hmm. Um, sometimes it’s, Hey, you see this company sponsor another racer, and you think, oh, well.

They’ve got money to sponsor them. They should have money to sponsor me. Um, but you don’t know exactly why they sponsored that racer, you might think. Mm-hmm. Oh, you know, they just wanted the advertising. Or maybe it’s just a friend or something like that, but some, something deeper and there might actually be a business deal going on there as well.

So. There’s not a, a company’s got gonna be the perfect fit for every racer that’s out there. So you need to find the ones that are the perfect fit for [00:25:00] you. And, um, actually I’m gonna be hosting a free event where I’m gonna teach racers about this, and so I haven’t, I. Told anyone about this yet, so you’re one of the first ones to know.

Um, but yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s a prospecting challenge that I’m gonna host and I’ll work with you. It’s five long event, um, just virtually. And so we’ll meet every day just for a couple minutes and I’ll help. Work with the racers and, um, show them exactly, hey, these, these are the steps that you should follow to find those right companies first, because it’s a lot easier when you find maybe 10, 20, 30 companies that would, would be a really good fit.

Mm-hmm. Versus trying to reach out to a hundred different companies that they’re never gonna get back to you. Right. Mm-hmm.

Challenge, it’s totally free to do. It’s just gonna be on Zoom and then we have a Facebook group [00:26:00] with it as well. But if anyone wants more information, um, they can just go to motorsports marketing tips.com/challenge and all the information is there and they can register for free there if they want to.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s nice. Uh, so guys, don’t forget to join this and, uh. Gain some new experience, uh, new skills, uh, for your, uh, career. Um, yeah, I think that, uh, you know, reaching big companies with big names, it can be really hard sometimes. And, uh, as you said, yeah, you, you can reach like 20, 30, uh, companies and it will be like.

Better and, uh, more effective, uh, by the end of the day. And, um, I think I agree with you. And also we can see in nascar, for example, we can see that on cars, uh, a lot of, uh, little sponsors. Yeah. And, uh, I think it’s, uh, really working well. Um. Speaking about, uh, being the [00:27:00] female, uh, drag racer, uh, in this industry.

So how do you feel? Do you feel any pressure, anything like this on you to being the women, uh, in this one?

Megan Meyer: So there’s really not that much in drag racing. And I think that’s because it’s just become more normal mm-hmm. To have female drivers against the males. And it’s just been happening for a lot longer than it has in other motor sports. So, um, I feel like drag racing does have kind of that advantage over other sports, but you know, we lack in some other areas.

Um, but yeah, it’s just, I’ve. I’ve been able to watch so many amazing women race mm-hmm. Before me and stuff. And um, yeah. I just see it growing more and more each day and it’s really cool to especially see little girls that are getting into it and it’s like, oh yeah. Like I was, I was a little girl, you know, just getting into racing one day and so, [00:28:00] yeah.

So we always try to encourage ’em. Um. But what’s awesome is the males that we race against, there’s not too much, um, you know, prejudice against us. Like they do kind of treat us like they’re allies or like we’re equal competitors because we know it’s more about the car that you’re driving versus the driver that’s in the car.

Mm-hmm. Um, and so, yeah, so like. Performance is all about the car. Um, you know, the driver of course has to do their job and get a good reaction time, but other than that, like the car’s doing all the work. So, um, so yeah, so I feel like there’s not too much, um, you know, we’re not treated very differently. Um, whereas like I, I know in other motorsports that’s not the case.

Mm-hmm. And so, yeah, I feel like. With drag racing, uh, we’re just kind of have had that, um, for a longer time to be able to get to where we are now.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I think there’s a goal for like road [00:29:00] racing and for ovals and, uh, the rest, uh, racing categories to reach this level to, um, have girls like on the same level as, uh, as boys.

And, uh, here’s no difference, like, uh. That we can be equal in this. And that’s really cool that it’s happening already in drag racing. Um, so probably we gotta hope for other racing categories as well. Um, yeah. So what advice, uh, would you give to, uh, anyone who’s entering the drag racing from your side to Yeah.

Um, good

Megan Meyer: question. Um. I would say for someone that’s new, um, you know, don’t, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Um, really everyone at the track is usually really friendly and can help you out. Um, whether you need parts or equipment, you know, anything like that. I feel like, [00:30:00] um, you know, we’re all pretty open and, and willing to help new people.

Um. But also I would say like. Yeah, I mean, just like, you know, you find your group and um, you stick together and help each other out. And, uh, it’s, you know, it’s funner when you’re racing with friends and you’ve got your group, your community there at the racetrack versus when you’re alone. ’cause um, I have tried to step out into other motor sports and I have felt alone and.

Lost and didn’t know what I was doing and it didn’t stick with it. So, um, so yeah, so just being able to like find that group that you, um, really connect with can be super helpful, um, for when you’re starting out and for longevity.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s really nice. Um, and, uh, can you tell me about your plans for this year and upcoming years and also where our viewers can find you online and, uh, also jump [00:31:00] into your courses and, uh, like communicate with you in social medias?

Megan Meyer: Yeah. Yeah. Well I have done one race this year, which was, um, two weeks ago. And then I will be doing, um, two more races later on this summer. Um, so I’m very excited for that. And then, um, my little sister is going to come and compete with me, which she has had a few years off ’cause she’s also. Pursued marriage and motherhood uhhuh.

And so this will be her first time coming back in a few years. So excited to have her back. But also, um, she, it’s funny, like she’s my favorite person to race against because we do a lot of mind games and like, you know, we’re always trying to mess each other up as much as we can. And so it makes it like fun and competitive.

Mm-hmm. Even though. And then it’s like, you know, someone loses at the end of the day and then it’s like they’re all pissy and you know, then you gotta [00:32:00] deal with. That. But um, but yeah, so it’s, it’s fun. Um, yeah, so we’ll be doing that this summer and then, uh, yeah, anyone can find me on Instagram and Facebook at Megan Meyer Racing, and then you can go to, um, Motorsports Marketing Tips is also on Instagram and Facebook, and I like to, I try to do as much as I can there, just giving out free advice.

Whether it’s about social media or marketing or sponsorships. So you can check out the videos and posts that I have there. And then on my website I have a blog. Um, we also have templates and courses there. Um, so yeah, so just depending on where you need help with, um, you know, hopefully we have something that could help out the racers.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Hmm. Awesome. Amazing. Uh, thank you so much Megan, for being with us. Uh, you’re absolutely amazing. I wish you good luck in your, uh, marketing way and, uh, to help other drivers to grow in the drag racing. Uh, thank you so much. [00:33:00] Yeah, thank you so much for having me. It’s been great. Really appreciate it. Yeah, guys, thank you so much watching.

Uh, we’ll see you next time. Thank you. Bye-bye.
