This week we are joined by Matt Whitaker, the founder of Wide Open Distributors here in New Zealand. A low key legend of the scene who not only wrenched for John Kirkcaldie and Nathan Rankin back in the Foes Racing days, but has also supported so many of New Zealand's top racers over the years, names like Brook MacDonald, Sam Blenkinson, Wyn Masters, Connor MacFarlane, Robin Goomes and so many more...

Matt shares some awesome stories from his days on the road wrenching and how Wideopen started and grew to where it is today.
