Racer X Live Chat Archive

If you’re a longtime visitor of the site, you’ll likely remember when we used to do Live Chat features with Davey Coombs, Steve Matthes, and Jason Weigandt where you could ask them anything about everything. They were well received, with one of Steve's chats getting over 100 questions. Well today, Live Chat made its return with Matthes manning the keyboard.

Steve is one of the best in the industry about staying in contact with his fans, whether it be on Twitter, the occasional VitalMX post, or with people that call into one of his many podcasts, he does his best to make sure his fans and listeners are heard. Check the archive from the chat earlier today

Hey everyone...welcome aboard to what we hope is a b-monthly chat with one of us RXI guys. Remember give me some time to type out replies. I'll see all the questions but maybe won't answer/can't get to so don't just keep typing "What's up with JS7" over and over and over.
