Survive the 25

February 2nd update: Sometimes with a hobby, things can get out of balance. Especially if your hobby is in the least bit competitive and you are a competitive person. This is particularly true of racing drivers. And that is why we are starting the Survive the 25 challenge.

As such, four of the hosts from four of your favorite podcasts have joined together for a 2021 winter challenge.

We have agreed to a contest where hopefully we will all win.

By April 15th, each of us will have

  • Lost at least 25 pounds (~11.5 kg)
  • Read at least 5 racing books
  • Raced in at least 5 karting races or sim racing events for at least 1 hour

We would love it if you would like to join us.

Simply post on Instagram using the hashtag #SurviveThe25 and we will figure out how to get a leaderboard together and maybe some swag from your favorite podcasts.

Survive the 25 Podcast Host Challengers

In the South Jersey corner, we have Jeff Wakeman, one of the hosts of the Everyone Racers podcast

In the SoCal corner we have two podcast hosts.

Joining us from parts unknown, is Jamie, host of the Racer FF podcast.

Also from the SoCal corner, we have Jon who cohosts the NinetyOneOctane podcast.

And from the northeast corner of Pennsylvania, we have one of the hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training podcast.

Who will win?

Who will not win?
