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.
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.
We reviewed our first race of the year at Pitt Race with the 24 Hours of Lemons series. We had some issues during the weekend that prevented us recording at the track so we went into some detail during this race review.
We also tried cover how we ran the race and our thought process, post race diagnosis and plans and we ended with our segment on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, along with the highlight of the weekend, as well as things we learned and changes to continue to improve.
As a special bonus from our website, here is an example on how now to talk your way out of a Black Flag penalty. The video started after our “Tony Stark” had begun with offering to buy the entire 24 Hours of Lemons Racing Series and/or the Pitt Race venue itself to be able to exactly define what is the track, as any billionaire would.

We hope you enjoy the episode and please review the podcast if you have a moment and add any question that you would like us to address in a future episode.
Our team went to race at Road Atlanta for our first time. When you think about Atlanta, we usually don’t think of cold, but for the second year in a row, the weather was cold, rainy/snowy. Since Road Atlanta is a fast track with lots of elevation changes so learning it in the cold rain was less than optimal.
We did a total of three episodes for this race. Friday night we tried a quick update recording from our hotel. It went to so well (?) that we did it again on Saturday. These episodes have nearly zero editing and we didn’t have access to our usually microphones. so your mileage may vary.
We had a blast and we hope it shows on the podcasts.
We finally posted a final race recap after a week of recording issues.

Podcast Episode 0010: Road Atlanta – Friday Night Review
With our favorite racing podcast taking a week off break, we took a chance to fill the gap. It took a bot over 24 times to get something “presentable”. In this episode of our podcast, Alan, Vicki, and Bill try to make a podcast similar to theirs. As you can guess, their’s is usually much better, but we had a good time and we hope you do too. Special thanks to getting us racing and podcast must go out to our friends over at the Everyone Racers podcast.

Our intended episode for this week (well really last week since we are late) is still in editing. Due to a few recording issues, it is still not close to ready after 9+ hours of editing. It may show up soon or we will have to re-record it. we shall see.

In this episode of our podcast, Alan, Vicki, and Bill try to review a typical race day/weekend and cover what to expect and look out for.
We used a typical race weekend at a 24 Hours of Lemons race to illustrate many of the processes, steps and procedures that are common at many racing events. Each racing organization will have its own intricacies, but most steps will be similar, if not exactly the same. Hopefully, this will alleviate any potential anxiety for you at your first race day (or your fiftieth).
