Best/Favorite car: 2009 Mini Cooper S. Worst Car: TBD, but hopefully better than the Pinto. Team nickname: TBD/The Munchkin Podcast

Connor Stahl: Connor helped prep for our race in Thompson in 2019 and while going onto the track for his first stint, casually told Bill that he had driven a manual transmission twice before.
