GHiT 0026: Hydrocephalus Racing Team

Hydrocephalus team
Several of the Hydrocephalus Racing Team with friends

We are very happy to welcome the Hydrocephalus Racing Team to our podcast this week.  They are a great team of friends and family that we first initially met at their first ever Lemons race in Thompson CT.  Unfortunately, Vicki and Bill apparently recorded in the Tube of Mockery we borrowed from Mental, so it sounds like we are huddled up in a cave somewhere. 

School run?  I think not.  Race van baby!
Race van. Not just for the school run anymore!

Topics of discussion included:

  • When and how to use the term “Scrutineer”
  • How (and Why) to race a prepped minivan in Lemons
  • The art of “subtle” racing in a minivan
  • How not to prep for your first time racing
  • We begin to hatch a plan to get their team CFO onto the track
  • Vicki can’t keep a secret to save her life (about the GHiT posters)
  • How to learn about cars when growing up and working in a local junkyard
  • Our Race Truck Progress – Its ready for Pitt Race
  • Math and racing sometimes don’t apply to radiator leaks
  • Two or three potential lemons car stashes in the upper Midwest and Alaska, one with hangtime experience
  • Effectiveness of our roll cages and safety equipment in an accident
  • Fog is not your friend on the track, especially on your windshield
  • Gentlemen driver documentary on Netflix right now
  • and eventually listen to them ponder why they can’t hear through their microphone, hint, it’s not a speaker, lol.  
Rainy day in Thompson CT
It is always better to look good than to be good?

Vans can go fast
Racing a Minivan isn’t as crazy as it seems
A bit of body roll
