Overview
Dave McIntyre, former CEO of Centra Industries, kicks off the fall season with Andy and Charlie. Centra, now part of Precision CastParts, is a Canadian manufacturer of airframe components.

Today he races fast cars at Ontario’s famed Mosport Speedway and remains friends with Charlie Gifford, neither activity for the faint of heart.
