Lori Munro
Contrary to popular belief, Lori was indeed raised by wolves in the northern Canadian wilderness. Her ability to take down deer armed only with a 60 yard death-stare is legendary. World-renown cartoon artist, horse breeder, banjo picker and vintage tractor nut. Check out Lori's artwork at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in Knoxville, IA. Lori can also be blamed for the custom creation of several websites including RaceTalkRadio.com, war-wagon.com, ihick.com, Racerdogs.com and many others. How she ended up in radio is anyone's guess. Lori can be heard every week on Doin Donuts, Quick Change and ARCA Thunder as well! Frequently has sand in her steel-toed boots from creating, producing, directing and staring in "the Dakar Diary", heard every January on RTR.

Mike Harper
Mike Harper, a.k.a. "SOZ" is the host of RaceTalkRadio.com's hit reality show "Don't Tase Me Bro" formally known as "ARCA Thunder." And he plays the game of "Quick Change" with Lori and Dennis every Wednesday night on RaceTalkRadio.com. After crossing the Texas border illegally to Michigan, Harper found a wife, son, ARCA, NASCAR and the Detroit Red Wings. Instead of choosing a life of politics where he could have made a difference in your community (mainly collecting millions in campaign funding, salary and commissions and favors from his favorite special interest groups) he used his powerful status to press his way into the glitzy and hard-core world of ARCA and NASCAR media. Let's face it, he's a player! During the racing season Mike can be heard on ESPN Radio, WHEELZ 104.5 FM in Michigan, The Brew 105.7 in Ohio and is a contributor for SPEEDtv.com.

C.J. Swank
C.J. can be found amongst the chunks of mud, stacks of American Racers & Hoosiers and climbing grandstands that haven't been inspected for 20 years. She can tell you where to find the best track hot dogs, how to navigate back roads without getting chased by the neighbors' pit bull and is facinated by the use of double entendre's. As for radio, C.J. is as green as the (lack of) money given to regional dirt racers. When not at a race track; she spends most of her time in front of the computer screen working on www.onthebullring.com, writing her weekly column for RPM Racing News or wondering which hand signal to use for "Move over, you idiot!"

Wooden Boy
He started as a simple seed and grew to a mighty oak, only to have someone cut him down and whittle him out a face and body. Wooden Boy... a very integral part of Race Talk Radio. His wisdom and character are unsurpassed as is his sense of responsible woodworking and fireplace care. Suffers from barkophobia but manages it with special lotions. Hobbies include; counting knots in trees, forestry, bird watching. Favorite driver: Jon Wood
