On Episode 98 of Unmuffled we hear from three participants in the upcoming inaugural event for the SRX Series at Stafford Speedway on June 12.
We listen in a zoom press conference this week that included drivers Paul Tracy, Willy T. Ribbs and Ernie Francis Jr.

Paraphrased but you get the idea. Willy T Ribbs is a fountain of interesting quotes and perspectives.
“So Willy, do you plan on being the banger or the bangee at Stafford? ”
Ribbs- “I’ll leave the banging to porn”
“So Willie do you plan on doing any sim racing to get ready for Stafford”
Ribbs-“What the hell is that?”
Excepting Ribbs most of these guys are using sim racing to get ready for the opening SRX race at Stafford. Our local celebrity Balboa most likely also not on board with Ribbs having mostly contempt for sim racing. Luckily he’ll only have to race at the track he knows so expectations should be sky high if you believe sim racing has no value.
