Alaska Roadracing to MotoAmerica Team: Thomas Davidson [S2 E39]

Last year, I found out that my home state, Alaska, has its own road racing series - on a local airstrip that was built in 1943. Known as Tanacross Track, this special race series was made possible in 1987 by the Carter Family and Glen Gillette. Now the torch has been passed on to Thomas Davidson and several others to help run the organization.Known for his technical skill in tuning motorcycles, Thomas /joins me on the podcast to talk about how he grew his interest in tinkering on bikes into a career that led him to be the first Ducati Master Tech in AK then go on to be a team leader with MotoAmerica for teams such as M4 ECStar Suzuki. Listen to us discuss the "lower 48", moto mechanics, then have an Alaskan Thai food debate.Many thanks to Thomas for joining me for his first podcast interview.Many more thanks to the listeners of Monki Moto Pod and Patreon supporters!.........................................................................................Follow ⁠@monki.moto⁠ on Instagram............................Thank you⁠ ⁠Adrian Law Firm⁠⁠ for the best motorcyclist and driver representation in SoCal! 818-562-7407 for a free consultation.Thank you King's Garage for helping us keep our bikes running and safe.
