The "Bros" engage in a very candid discussion with the former President and son of the founder of the industry-leading giant Mercury Racing, Fred Kiekhaefer.
Listen as he outlines the very difficult task of growing up in the shadow of such a driven, tough man that was known as "The Iron Fist," E. Carl Kiekhaefer.
Despite his travails, Fred overcomes the many challenges of growing up as Carl's son and elevates himself to the top of the very company that his father started–without his blessing or support–and develops some of the most innovative engines that the performance world has seen to-date, including Mercury Racing's incredible QC4V sterndrive packages.
