| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. Welcome to the RacerX Canada show. |
| 0:23.6 | Alright, never mind. I'm trying to figure out something for a snappy or beginning, but that's probably not going to work. |
| 0:29.6 | Welcome to the RacerX Canada, somewhat live and uncensored show. I'm your host Steve Mathis, and thanks to Shift Racing for making this show happen. |
| 0:38.5 | Look for them at the web on ShiftRacing.ca, and by the way, you can check out the gear that |
| 0:44.4 | Katie Beats wears. Remember that these shows are all available on iTunes for you to grab |
| 0:49.8 | and listen to while you watch your car. My guest this week is team manager for the Harton-Huntington Honda team, Kenny Watson. |
