We got to chat with the driver of Blue Lightning, and winner of DC’s 2017 Freestyle Contest, Matt Cody.

We lost a giant yesterday. Gene Wilder, also known as Young Dr. FrankenSTEIN, Jim the Waco Kid, or Mr. Wonka. There is an effortless authenticity in his performances, an ever present twinkle in his eye.
