On episode 110 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Steve Kaster. Steve lives in Green Bay, about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Road America. He drives a Ford Fiesta. We talk about our favorite track, Road America. He started in ChumpCar and rented a Miata. Other than that, he had only done 1 track day before jumping into racing cars.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Optima Batteries ChumpCar World Series is a series of automotive endurance races held on paved road race courses across North America. The races range in length from 6 to 36 hours. The name is a parody of Champ Car, a defunct open wheel professional racing series. Races are sanctioned throughout the United States, as well as in Canada and Mexico. Teams are encouraged, but not required, to decorate their cars with themes. http://www.freesound.org/ http://chumpcar.com/downloads/2014-2016chumpcar-rules.pdf http://chumpcar.com/downloads/chumpcar-rules.pdf http://chumpcar.com/register/results/89.pdf Charles please grade my math!: http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1353 I am using dimensional analysis. (1.97 miles X 60 seconds X 60 minutes) / (110 seconds lap time X 1 minute X 1 hour) = 64.47 MPH for one lap. now it's your turn! A slower lap took 120 seconds - how fast was Jonny going?

GHIT 0411:  Adam Owens Rejoins Us For Another Lap Adam Owens is a friend we met a while back and he came on as a relatively newbie racer in our World Famous Racing 101 series two years ago.  We catch up with how his racing has been going since then and especially how 2022 has progressed into at least Racing 201 or probably more.  Adam has been consistently renting seats in endurance racing with the Boston Whiners and has been getting faster at every race.  While most of his racing seat time is in wheel-to-wheel racing, he has also been to several high performance driving events to further refine his driving skill.  During this episode, we talk about what he has found to work for him and several of the skills he sees as having helped him on track and several that could be further improved.  We also compare some of the differences between the different racing organizations and tracks that we have attended. Some great discussion and great tips to improve everyone's on track performance.

Join Damon, Dante, Collin, and Tatum driving to Watkins Glen International in late May for their second ChumpCar race. Fresh off of a rainy Porsche Club weekend at The Glen two weeks prior.  The question was proposed, what would you buy for 65k? The conversation transitions into talking about how modern day cars are so good at handling in compared to old cars.  We get into the absurdity of what cars we buy or want to buy, such as Dante wants a 997 cup car to go with his 996 cup car.  Later in the episode we talk strategy for the race.

Post First ChumpCar race. On our way home from Mid Ohio.  We had an early end to our day. Everyone tells their experience of first time being in a race. We compare and contrast HPDE driving to race driving.  Dante dispels the grainy feedback feeling through high speed sweepers as the car pushing. We talk about what it’s like driving a car with no ABS and a sensitive pedal. Nick tells his experience of the race as a non driver.  At the end we go over what we can do to be better prepared for races in the future.

Join Damon, Dante, Collin, Nick and Tatum driving from PittRace to Mid Ohio for their first Chump Car race. This was Tatum's first time on the podcast.  We plan our driver change and fueling strategy for our first race.  We review our first time driving the race car when we were testing it at VIR.  Then some tire talk going over recommendations from our tire engineer friend.  Collin talks about his experience first instructing and the troubles with communicating with someone with broken english while on the race track.  Collin reviews the 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 with Track Package that his student was driving. Dante and Collin review their short test of the BMW at PittRace south course.  Dante describes his "nibble" technique.  Dante talks about what he likes to do when instructing.  

Join Damon, Dante, Collin, Nick on their way to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) from Pittsburgh, PA in early March to test their BMW E36 ChumpCar for the first time at a Chin Track Days event.  Nick tells about some really interesting Porsche history, including a Porsche F1 engine in a 904. Teddy Fireball Johnson gets a shoutout. We discuss all the work we’ve done on the race car since purchasing it three months ago.  It was supposed to be a perfect car, but we found metal shaving in the oil filter.  We talk about how confusing digital radios are to get setup with all the programming and special cables and software involved.

Join Damon, Dante, and Collin on their way back from purchasing their E36 Chumpcar.  We give our initial impressions of the car. Overall we are pretty happy with the car.  The body was a bit more rough than we expected but that’s not a big deal to us.

Join Damon, Dante, and Collin on their way to purchase an E36 ChumpCar.  Right off the bat we get a lesson on compression tests form Dante. We discuss the ChumpCar and some history of it.  Collin tells us about his car history, including the early days of having a pair of cobalts in college, on to purchasing and modifying a 987 Cayman and a 996 911.

Join Damon, Dante, and Collin (no Tatum) driving to purchase our ChumpCar.  It’s a 1992 BMW 325i, fully prepared E36 race car. We discuss why we chose to race ChumpCar with a BMW E36.  We give some background on our high performance driving experience.

Welcome back! Today I have a brainstorm about Chump Car Challenge (and 24 Hours of Lemons), I talk about the new BMW M5 and some interesting news concerning the upcoming Supra!

In this episode I have Friend of the show, Phil Oliveira, back on for a chat about what they're up to these days at drivermod, This includes some of the reviews they've done (including the highly acclaimed Golf R), the basics of how to get into LeMons or Chumpcar in Canada, and a full update on Phils EcoTec Miata. We end the episode off on the topic of Safety and driving aids, and how they are beginning to effect high performance driving days in the BMW community. I'ts certainly something we'll see more and more of as cars are adorned with the nannies we've come to hate, and love.

Episode 62-The Meat Sweets would be so much better. When you embark on a road trip, examples from pop culture roll through your mind. You start by hoping for an epic like "Lord of the Rings," then it starts to feel like "Thelma and Louise," and you just hope it doesn't turn into "The Road." This here is the first half of Dave and Ian's trip to Road America for an endurance race. You'll have to decide who is Thelma and who is Louise. Hey!

Episode 47-Puffalumps. Yep. When Stef Schrader isn't running Jalopnik's excellent motorsports blog Black Flag, she's racing her Porsche 944 in the 24 hours of LeMons and ChumpCar. So naturally, we opened our conversation with her by talking about the obscure 80's stuffed animals called Puffalumps. Eventually, we get around to talking about safety in amateur racing, why LeMons isn't scary and the dark side of Formula 1. Hey! Did you know you can view the full episode description for links!
