We received a ton of questions from you and reconvened to answer all that we could. Thanks for asking!
PS We are planning our summer and have some ideas but would love to hear from you on what would be of interest. Please drop us a line at [email protected] or even better give us a review and include your ideas there within the review. Â
WOOT 0041 Avengers Endgame Q&A
Earlier Endgame related Episodes are also available here:
If you think you have the driving itch or may have an interest, how can you try racing to find out if its for you? We also cover what is a preferred path towards your personal driving greatness. As always, the biggest key is safety and safely progressing up your individual learning curve.
During this episode, we also cover various ways to get out on track, how to progress with many options given including experience type driving events, one day HPDE’s, SCCA Track Night America, SCCA and NASA events, various Mark clubs like BMW, Porsche, Audi, etc. etc. Naturally we also cover low cost endurance racing series, Go carts/carting, autocross, and other low cost methods to race. Towards the end, we also cover a brief overview of various decisions and interests that may shape your individual progression including whether you want to race vs a clock or wheel to wheel racing (or both), sprint racing vs endurance racing, open wheel vs closed wheel/road cars, buying your own vs renting a race car or just renting a seat. We tried to provide an overview and include an approximate cost where we could to help with budget discussions. Â
As always, with Mental it always involves great stories and a good bit of digression by both of us across many subjects.Â
Always try to remember that the key is remain on the primary tasks of #1 safety and #2 having fun!
Race school recommendations aplenty, but not all inclusive.
Plus we work through Vickiâs flat tire excursion while we were taping
PS We did manage to keep it under 3 hours this time, lol.
GHIT 0040: How to Get Better at Racing
If interested, here is our earlier episode with Mental as our guest.
Mental Ward was last seen in Episode 20 here.
Jennifer, Liam, Vicki, and Bill attended the EVO School for Autocross this weekend in upstate NY near Seneca Falls. It was Bill’s second time and the first time for everyone else. We all agree that the instructing staff was awesome and the structure was excellent. We all learned a ton and would recommend it to anyone interested in trying to push their driving limits in a safe environment for the first time to experienced racers and autocrossers. The course is designed to help everyone progress from whatever level they are currently at. In addition, there are two more levels of courses offered by the EVO School and we can’t wait to try those as soon as possible. Â
GHIT 0039 EVO School – Seneca Falls
This follows up on our earlier episode when Alan and Bill attended the Evo School held at Giants Stadium earlier this year.
On this episode, Vicki, Alan, and Bill discuss race weekend preparation using this week’s EVO School race day and our next Lemons race at NJMP as examples.Â
We also have a VERY detailed checklist we use for our race prep that is available at our website or by clicking below.
In addition. Alan covers his tool of the week, a Quickjack 5000. No relation to Sunblock 3000. Â
Spoiler Heavy review of Avengers Endgame.
We tried to get everyone together but it ended up being only Benny and Bill. We may have following episodes reviewing the movie but there is our first one that several of you have been requesting. Thank you for your patience. We did manage to keep it under the running time of the movie.
Barely.
