2022 Goal Review and our 2023 Goals

GHIT 0417: GHiT Goal Review – We Review 2022 and our Goals for 2023

Our team goes over our racing season for 2022 and how we did compared to our goals for the year. In this annual review, we often find out we did well in many areas and totally blew it in others. This year was no exception, lol. We had Alan, Jennifer, Vicki, and Bill, as always, but Jeremy decided to join in for the fun and plan his 2023 with us. We do this every year and find that it helps. Some of the goals are more plans and some of them are usually pretty big stretches for us. But, you never know what you can do until you try. As a bonus, we look back at 2022 from a big picture perspective and see that we are still “In Training”. (always will be!)

Frank Schwartz

– All About B Spec Racing and More

GHIT 0408: Frank Schwartz – All About B Spec Racing and More

Frank Schwartz is a racer and owner of Grass Paddock Motorsports that rents B Spec Honda Fits and Mini Coopers. He is also known online as the stepfather of B Spec racing. Frank seems to be a proud father to be of a potential new class of C Spec racing for the SCCA. Frank is involved with getting people into the sport at a reasonable budget. We ended up talking a great deal about racing in general, the motivations, as well as what you can get out of racing beyond “winning” the race.

If you are ever interested in trying out B Spec racing, Grass Paddock Motorsports may be a great option. Especially if you are getting started and may be an even better option to stay racing. While we are here, you know we couldn’t help but ask what to do to get involved in B Spec racing and prepare a car. Or two. Well, maybe 3. How about 4. That sounds better. #VickiIsGoingToKillBill

Kyle Heyer The Voice of GridLife

GHIT 0407: Kyle Heyer The Voice of GridLife

In our totally biased opinions, the GridLife live stream is the best motorsports events on TV/YouTube, and we lose so much time in the garage when they are on for the weekend. Kyle Heyer is the lead presenter and commentator for the GridLife series and has worked hosting other series including SRO on live streams and broadcast television. In addition, Kyle is involved with the GridLife team in setting up the time attack series to improve the presentation on the livestream. We recorded prior to the schedule release at PRI so we talk around the schedule and the recently released proposed rules changes. It was a bit of a change of pace, but if you ever wanted to hear Kyle talk about himself, here is a great opportunity.

GHIT 0384: Justin Okamoto – JustinCFC on Instagram

One of the highlights of the GridLife event at Lime Rock was finally meeting Justin Okamoto. Justin is relatively new to racing his own vehicles but has been associated with motorsports for well over a decade. He recently graduated from the GridLife HPDE sessions. He has begun racing his BMW E36 3 Series car in their Club TR Time Attack series. Justin has also given back to the series and works in the grid and paddock areas with the GridLife team. In addition to his racing, Justin also started “Cars For The Cure” a 501 C3 nonprofit charity in honor of his mother that is aimed at helping to assist families with dealing with cancer.

GridLife NJMP 2022 Event

with E1R’s Chris and Chrissy

GHIT 0359 GridLife’s NJMP 2022 Event with E1R’s Chris and Chrissy

We were finally able to go to our first GridLife event this year at NJMP and to make it even better we were there with our friends from the Everyone Racers podcast Chris and Chrissy. Since we were all together, we decided to do a podcast mashup.

We were split up among the intermediate and advanced HPDE groups for this weekend. Chris was looking to test and tune their latest K swapped 1993 Honda Civic. Chrissy wanted to gain overall speed and confidence. Jennifer was there to get a bit more time and comfort driving our front wheel drive Civic. Vicki was going to drive our 2019 Mazda Miata on track for the first time and Bill was looking to help anyone he could at this event. In addition, we were finally going to meet our friends at GridLife, as well as Ross Bentley and Peter Krause. What could be better. Oh, that’s right, the weather turned us into baked potatoes as this was the hottest track event that we have ever attended.

If you would like to help grow our sport and this podcast:

Awesome choice #1: Subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice and every episode will show up.

Even Better: If you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating

Mostest Bestest: if you would leave a podcast review

We really appreciate it.
