What an interesting character Andy DiBrino is.   The quentesential privateer racer dude entering events in multiple disciplines knowing he's competitive in all of them.   How he got there and his entire story fascinated me.   I'm looking forward to future talks with him, and seeing him out there racing this season.   Follow him on Instagram:  @andy_dibrino &...

Great chat with club racer Brandie Cox.   She's a small animal veterinarian out of Texas that flies to California to race with CRA.    She also does a lot of CMRA stuff local in Texas including endurance racing.    She's super fun, and has that southern twang in her voice..  its great.  Enjoy.   Also, the T-Shirt I was wearing was from by budd...

What a fun chat with club racer Brenden Kelelsen.   He's like that all american kid that you want to root for.   We talked about his racing background, successes, adversity along with training programs etc.  He's such a good kid, hopefully one day he'll get the support he needs to move up in the game.   Follow him on instagram at @brendenketelsen44   Please Like/...

Nice chat with my long time friend and industry pro Chip Spalding.   Chip is an interesting character in the sport as he has had his hands in a lot of areas of the sport.   Through this discussion I learned that he's not only working for Champ School, he's also a partner in it.  Pretty amazing really.  He's got insite on the sport down to the macro level as he's invol...

Wow, super fun chat with arguably the most badass privateer racer in the country, Stefano Mesa.   This dude drives the truck, camps at the track, changes his own tires, and lays smack down to lots of people in multple classes per weekend.  Not only all of that, but behind all of that stuff, he's just a solid human being.  Someone you'd totally want to hang out with all the time...

Excellent chat with Ken Hill.    We talked a little bit about history..  His background, and how he became this traveling coach guy.   We certainly talked about a bunch of misconceptions with regards to riding, and had a fun little back and forth about certain myths, etc..  It was a fun chat for sure, and those 2 hours really did feel like 20 minutes.  &nbsp...
