The studio is stuffed and the couch is full this week! A very special power couple joins the trifecta for all things automotive, Stefan and Keerati Tomalik. Stefan is an avid amateur racer and BMW aficionado, not to mention, the rep for Motul oil products here in the PNW. His fiancé Keerati is a powerhouse of skills, not only being a decorated amateur motorcycle racer but also an automotive and culture influencer.
The episode starts out by diving into the history of each of our guest unique pasts, starting with Keerati aka Miss K. Keerati talks about growing up outside the united states and what moving to the states did for her motorcycle opportunities. She explains the true grit it takes to go racing, from just improving your time and training, to financially affording and accepting the responsibility of inevitable breakdowns that happen to every racer and every machine. Keerati also talks about the building blocks of balanced relationship and how both her and Stefan keep both their passion for each other and passion for petrol alive.
Then its Stefan’s turn, Stefan started young in the JDM scene, with some of the oddest platforms, racing such rare items as the Isuzu Impulse until finally finding his real track partner, the BMW E46 3 series. From there Stefan studied and honed his racing skill in SoCal, rising to each challenge and eventually finding himself behind the seat of a Porsche 997 cup car. Stefan also opens up about the ins and outs of a balanced relationship, how he and Keerati met and eventually fell for each other, finally moving the two of them back to the PNW.
Next the couple goes into future plans, both on and off the track as well as the positives that having a great product like Motul, has for the future of our motorsport scene locally.
Lastly, since both the guests are avid BMW fans, the group discusses new BMWs. Starting with BMW’s motorcycle division’s new 1000cc sport bike. The styling, the performance and all the new tech. Mrs. Keerati weighs in on what she would keep and loose on the new BMW model, having owned previous BMW racing models and Walt tells us what future design language tells us about the 22nd century bike.
Finally everyone throws their 2 cents in about the latest M2 from BMW, the power train, the design, the size and the price. There is a lot to unpack so stay till the end.
