About this episode
Willy T. Ribbs is, hands down, one of the most unique characters you’ll ever meet. A star on the rise in the junior categories, Willy’s journey took him to the top levels of IMSA and Trans-Am in the 1980’s and 1990’s, ultimately netting him a chance to qualify for the Indy 500, where he became the first-ever African American to qualify for the Indy 500. What makes Willy so unique, however, is his larger than life character. Honestly, there’s no point in describing it… just listen. Seriously, holy shit. Dinner was served at Trattoria Lisina in Driftwood, TX, with the music of Tyler Royse taking us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great MDX.
