The Rob Report

Welcome to another week of Wheelz-Up Radio. Your #1 Choice for Sportsman Drag Racing. This week on Wheelz-Up Radio presented by Sassy Race Engines we join host Chris Barnes, Tri-State Stock/SS President Mike Carr and Lew "Wagon Master" Silverman. On this week's show the gang will talk with Karl Fredrickson of Speedway Illustrated. Karl will talk about the ever popular topic of safety in racing. The gang will also talk about the National Open race being held at Atco Raceway this upcoming weekend that will see a few of the Wheelz-Up Members attending. We will also take a look at the NHRA National Event tour which will stop in Hot-Lanta this weekend.

This week's interview is with Karl Fredrickson, Editor of Dick Berggren’s Speedway Illustrated Magazine. Karl developed his love of racing when a friend took him to a race at Hudson Speedway in New Hampshire. It was a life changing event for him, and he was hooked instantly. When he turned sixteen he started begging everyone he knew, except his parents, to take him to the speedway to go racing. Eventually he broke down and had to tell his parents what he had been doing every weekend, and surprisingly they were supportive and let him work on his race car at home. His dad told him that he knew people in the business and to contact Doug Gore. This connection led to a job at Stock Car Racing Magazine and twenty two years later he is still working with approximately the same group of people. Karl will talk about the hot topic of safety in auto racing along with a few other things.
