On a Quest to Earn a Skull with Abe Mikell | LotDR Episode 005

  • October 24, 2019
  • Tony Matesi

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the fifth episode of the podcast, I connect with Abe Mikell from Virginia who has competed in two Death Races. He’s on a mission to earn his first skull and he’s working with Rob Barger of Redpath Performance (who was on episode three of this podcast) to train up and make the adjustments he will need in order to earn a beloved Death Race skull. Tune in to hear Abe’s legend thus far.

Enjoy the show and thanks for listening! Also please, make sure you subscribe to the show and if you’re enjoying it, please leave a review. ☺️
