Gearhead Perspective- RMRW and Power Tour 2026

**SPEAKER_2** (0:47)
Yo, I didn't think we were going to make it.

**Bo** (0:50)
I mean, we did. It's Sunday, we're on here every Sunday.

**John** (0:56)
Every Sunday, like clockwork.

**Bo** (0:58)
Clockwork.

**John** (1:00)
Hey, can you guys hear me now?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:02)
Yeah, we can hear you now.

**John** (1:04)
Were you guys just effing with me the whole time? Because I hadn't done shit.

**Bo** (1:08)
Not at all, not at all. It was very weird.

**John** (1:13)
Okay, I'm not going to touch it.

**Bo** (1:15)
Yeah, don't touch it.

**John** (1:16)
It's going to be right here in front of me the whole time.

**Bo** (1:18)
Yeah, that's fine.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:19)
First of all, you know I'm not swarming it. Right here. Oh, what are we up to, fellas? It's Sunday.

**Bo** (1:29)
I'm doing what I do every Sunday.

**John** (1:32)
Work on your hot rod.

**Bo** (1:34)
No, I did do a little bit today, though. Nothing.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:39)
What did you do today?

**Bo** (1:40)
Relaxing. Church and family time. A little bit of hot rod stuff.
You guys are back. You guys have been busy. It's been a busy month and a half for John. Pro, you did a bucket list thing.

**John** (1:54)
So, yeah.

**Bo** (1:56)
I'll just shut up and let you guys talk about that.

**John** (1:59)
A month and a half for Pro, too.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:03)
Are we starting to lose Doherty again?

**Bo** (2:08)
You got to look into the mic when you talk.

**John** (2:10)
What?

**Bo** (2:11)
There we go. We're good now.

**John** (2:12)
I'm going to switch and get my readers over here. I'm going to bring it right out here. I'm going to show you this the whole time. That's where it's at.

**Bo** (2:24)
Yeah, that's it.
So anyway, tell us about it. I'm here with everybody else listening to your stories this week. I've done nothing. Let's clear that up. I've done nothing. It's up to you guys.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:38)
I don't think done nothing has quite covered it, but let's see. Where do we want to kick off on slides? Let's get into Dordie's story. Dordie, start it off here.

**John** (2:53)
Nice.
What? Nice. Yeah, I like it. No, it brings me back. Brings me back to last week.

**Bo** (3:04)
Yeah.

**John** (3:06)
It's weird waking up and not having to go walk across the track to take a leak, and not sleeping crammed in the box with Shannon and three dogs.

**Bo** (3:18)
I'm surprised you haven't grabbed a Harbor Freight bucket in the funnel and made your own bathroom.

**John** (3:23)
I'm going to be super honest right now. I didn't walk anywhere to take a leak. I just walked three steps and whipped it out.

**Bo** (3:31)
Right.

**John** (3:32)
Yeah. Yeah. I was, Shanda did have to walk clear across the park to take a leak, and she didn't like it.

**Bo** (3:41)
Because it'd be weird if she just took three steps and whipped it out.

**John** (3:44)
Yeah, that'd be weird.

**Bo** (3:45)
It'd be weird.

**John** (3:46)
So now she's looking for an upgrade trailer to pull with the old Fiona here. Yeah.
So I've got to get that dill ready. I'm betting as soon as it's like cross country ready, she's got a new trailer.

**Bo** (4:03)
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised.

**John** (4:07)
Yeah.

**Bo** (4:08)
Getting a taste of that luxury camp. Yeah.

**John** (4:11)
That glamping. That's where it's at. Some of those fellows had some pretty nice campers. They were sporting.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:19)
Yeah.

**Bo** (4:20)
I've seen some pictures, some nice stuff out there.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:25)
So how did everything kick off?
Did you make it in time? Did you do any testing? What did you do?

**John** (4:32)
The week before I changed gears, because I wanted it to be an easy drive, and I knew I was going to be spraying nitrous, so I didn't need quite as much gear in it. So I actually needed less gear in it to be able to run a whole quarter mile out. So I changed to a 370 gear, which was delightful on the drives. Cruisin 70 is pretty pro. I do still get bored and go 50 a lot though.
So if you're following me, you're going to go somewhere between 50 and 70

**Bo** (5:14)
It's called the yo-yo effect.

**John** (5:15)
Yeah. And Chad Maggard rolled with me all week. That was awesome.
And he said he would look down, and I'd be nowhere in sight, and he'd have to catch back up. And then he'd say, yeah, we're going 50, we're going 70, and I don't even know what we're doing.
