Christopher Tassava joins the show to share his experience at both the Arrowhead 135 in late January in Northern Minnesota and JayP's Backyard Fat Pursuit on March 1 in Idaho. As a husband and dad of two daughters, Christopher tackled a winter worth of racing that many "normal" people would consider impossible.
 
Over the course of this winter, Christopher has gained some amazing perspective and learned some valuable lessons about himself, his gear, and his future aspirations.
 
Listen in to take in the adventures that many of us will never experience.
