Show Notes
Luke is joined by Rex Simmermaker of WinLight Bets, as they discuss the changing climate of sports betting and gambling in general, and the opportunities afforded to sportsman drag racing as a result. Rex details the new WinLight Bets App, his vision in founding the organization, and where it could lead. Is real time (and real money) wagering on the horizon? If/when that does happen, what are the chances that wagering impacts the validity of competition? Where does the money come from, and where does it (or could it) go?
Prior to bringing Rex on the show, Luke shares initial reaction to the Spring Fling’s incredible 3-minute sellout of the Fall Fling event, and previews what promises to be a huge show next week.
