He shares what separates the greats from the rest and how he prepares his family for the risks of racing!Ron also tells the story of his infamous engine explosion at the 2014 Winter nationals - and just three days after filming this, his engine exploded again. Did we curse him?He talks about how he first got into racing, the people who inspired him, and how his brother ended up as a Hollywood stunt driver.
