S2E24: Cody McKay | The Radical Retro Racer

On today’s episode we’ve got Cody McKay. Extremely entertaining, he’s a privateer in the Aussie Racing Car Series and shares his story growing up in Newcastle, on track experiences and the business of motorsports. 

We also chat with Cody about his mechanic business called Radical Mechanical, how he came to be his own boss and some great banter about his Foster’s collection. You’ll hear some crazy stories from Cody, beyond the helmet.
