Weldcome (see what we did there?) to Everyone Racers episode 423, hot like welding! Tim is planning to burn himself Chris prefers a tight puddle, Sloppy puddles need not apply. Chrissy yells at a cat, again. Same cat. The cat doesn’t care, because…well, it’s a cat. Amateur racing isn’t glamorous — and that’s exactly why this episode hits so hard. In this Everyone Racers Moskvich-423 Episode, the gang spirals from “should we buy a cheap welder?” into a brutally honest conversation about learning fabrication the hard way, blowing budgets in the garage, and why grassroots racers keep doing things the most difficult (and funniest) way possible. This episode covers what it’s really like to be an amateur racer trying to level up your skills without lighting your project — or your wallet — on fire. From debating entry-level vs. “probably good enough” welders, to the realities of teaching yourself fabrication in a cramped garage, to why racing forums both save and destroy projects, this one is painfully relatable if you’ve ever said “I can probably do that myself.” You’ll hear: The real cost of getting into welding and fabrication for racing Why cheap tools sometimes work… until they absolutely don’t The difference between good enough for the track and dangerous optimism Lessons learned from broken parts, bad advice, and late-night garage decisions Not t mention our racing news tangents, questionable logic, and the kind of bench-racing comedy that only happens when friends have known each other too long If you’re an amateur race car driver, weekend track rat, mechanic, Lemons/ChampCar/HPDE addict, or automotive enthusiast who laughs at mistakes because you’ve made the same ones — this episode is for you. New episodes every week. Subscribe if you like real racing talk, real failures, and real laughs — not influencer fantasy builds. 👇 Drop a comment with your worst garage mistake.
