GHiT 0489:  Race Recap:  Thompson 2023 with the 24 Hours of Lemons

Our team had two cars that raced at the recent 24 Hours of Lemons endurance race at Thompson 2023.  This includes the 1984 Mustang GT Turbo called MooStang and the 1991 BMW 535 with team Slippery Slope.  It was a tale of two cars and the results show it.  Post race hangover was fully in place by the two of us who didn’t race, lol.  Did the MooStang make up for last year’s debacle?  Did the 535 keep on rolling along?  How was the ice cream shop?  This and more are in this week’s episode review.

GHiT 0482:  Recap of GridLife NJMP 2023 and Our First Time Working with a Coach – Miss Jackie

What a great weekend we had at the recent GridLife NJMP 2023.  Our team worked with Jackie Andrews as our coach for the Grid Life event at NJMP.  Jeremy and Nick were in the advanced HPDE group in their E46 BMW 3-series street’ish cars.  Jennifer was in our B Spec Fit in HPDE and Vicki was in HPDE in our new E46 race car but switched to our Honda Fit when we had a mechanical issue.  Bill was also in the B Spec Fit and competed in the Sundae Cup series, securing a solid last place.

GHiT 0471:  Zach Caldwell Live from the Vannonball Great American Bro’d Trip

Calling in live from GingerMan, Zach Caldwell calls from his fourth straight race weekend in the race van to conclude the 2023 Great American Vannonball Bro’d Trip. Why race in a minivan? Who would race 4 weekends in a row?  Why a 2006 Dodge Caravan is the world’s greatest race car? How tired can one person be?  All this and more in this one. Bill has some terrible ideas brewing.

In summary, the Great American Bro’d trip started off in Detroit and after 2,100 miles race 1 at Thunder Hill.  A swift and easy 700 miles to High Plains Raceway.  A few gallons of gas and 1,700 miles to NJMP Thunderbolt. And a final leg to a surprising entry to GingerMan raceway. To get back home after this, it was only 350 miles that took around 12 fatigue induced hours, lol.

GHiT 0468:  Race Recap:  NJMP 2023 with the 24 Hours of Lemons

We try to record our wrap up episodes as quickly as possible, but this may have been a bit too quickly as most/all of us were still in zombie mode.  For this race, we raced the El Jeffe Chevy S-10/Isuzu Hombre trophy truck and our 1993 EG Civic.  In addition, we were also acting as ambassadors for two different entries, a 1991 BMW 535, and our friends (and future podcast guests) from Waka Motorsports in their Civic.  Also, during the weekend, we ran into a long lost missing friend and prior NJMP GHiT racing teammate Aaron who was working with another all ladies team that was fielding two cars for the Jessi Combs Foundation

Prepping for Their First Endurance Race

GHiT 0462:  Prepping for Their First Endurance Race What to Expect When You Are Unsuspecting with Angry Turtle Racing

We love seeing new people and teams getting out on track and driving or racing.  We especially love seeing friends enjoy themselves.  Angry Turtle Racing is a new endurance racing team with two old friends (Audra and Lisa) and several new friends who are about to race in their first ever endurance race with us at NJMP in two weeks.  We thought it might be helpful to go through some of the questions and preparation tips that we shared on this podcast, and we cannot wait to paddock share with them and help them in any way that we can at NJMP.
