GHIT 0218:  Scott Robertson from the Track Walking podcast

(Part 2 of Our GLTC Series)

For this episode, Scott Robertson reviews a variety of topics including his racing in the Grid Life GLTC series, his multiple One Lap of America entries, being a driving instructor, and his Track Walking podcast.  Scott had an ill timed racing incident earlier this year just prior to the 2021 One Lap of America.  He was somehow able to get the car back in running shape in time for the OLOA with the help of a ton of help from the racing community.  His podcast approaches our sport and driving in general from a very different perspective. The podcast is definitely unique among the racing and driving podcasts that are available.  We hope to have his podcast co-host on Seth Lemke on in a coming episode. And we cannot wait to meet his crew chief and co-driver Becky Burton at the track and hopefully our podcast.

Highlights from this episode include:

1)  How Scott’s racing career began and has continued to progress.

2)  We discover how versatile Scott’s Miata is in its current role, road driven, race car, tow vehicle, and sometimes hotel room and base camp.

3)  Vicki and Scott bond over their Miata love for a bit.  Scott has a super secret spare stash and upgrade kit that we will get out of him someday.  We’d love to get our NB Miata a bit more reliable and sturdy.  (and we all know Bill loves upgrading his checklists, lol)

4)  Details of his difficulties in preparing for this year’s One Lap of America after his on track incident.  It literally took a village (of racing friends) and every last minute to pull off the miracle save.

5)  The intertwining of the 2021 One Lap of America and the current GLTC season have impacted each other and how the season has gone to this point.

6)  Tips, Tricks, and Do’s and Don’ts that experience has taught Scott over the years of instructing new and soon to be drivers on the track at an HPDE.

7)  Prepping for GLTC vs One Lap of America, and especially how to One Lap in a Miata race car

8)  Several things Scott got from Coaching with (hopefully our future guest for our GLTC series) Tom O (Tom O’Gorman) but we can also confirm one item that was not part of Tom’s coaching.

9)  Podcast goals and perspectives on what they are trying to provide to our sport.
