About this episode

Stephen Gall discusses his transition from racer to coach and shares insights from his career in motorsport.

Morphing from racer to coach and why his personality was perfect for the role. The constant thirst for information on how to be a better athlete which gave his academy international acclaim. Branching out and tackling desert enduros as well as memories of Finke in a milestone year for the race. A podium in the Castrol 6-hour - a late circuit racing bloom. Childhood memories of the Sydney Showground Speedway a making the move into Midgets (Speedcars). A 4-wheel title win and a Sprintcar crash which took its toll. Plus the little known Supercars test and the juggle of trying to coach Matt Mladin and James Stewart Stateside. In the midst of a ripper conversation we don’t get to every yarn….like his stunt coordination role on the recent Mad Max Movies - Fury Road and Furiosa for example - but if you find yourself wanting more check out his excellent new book ‘The Stephen Gall Story: No Easy Way’ available for order at www.noeasyway.com.au Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's Garage.
