Podcasts about IMSA

The FIRST of our RE-HEATED series, where we re-issue episodes that might share something with racing stories in the news… Episode 150 featured RJ Valentine. RJ Valentine is one of sportscar racing's greatest characters, and beloved by our hosts. A businessman first, RJ grew up under tough circumstances in South Boston through the 1940's and 1950's, building a hugely successful series of businesses which eventually led him down the path of racing. Funding his own way, RJ has driven in Trans-Am, IMSA, and Grand-Am, all in their heyday, ultimately leading to his career highlight, winning the Daytona 500 (listen to episode for details). What makes RJ most entertaining is his complete zero-apologies character, not afraid to share his opinions on politics, people around him, and life at large. Dinner was served at Davios in Burlington, Massachusetts. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.!

This week, Alex talks with Beck and Zac about a formative pair of BMWs in Zac's neighborhood growing up; a snowballed BMW project threatening to be come a full avalanche; a very quick turnaround; a curious Bay Area car-buying ploy; Alex's odd but steadfast list of cheap childhood cars he'd buy if only he could find them; (misplaced?) nostalgia for late-1980s Ford performance cars and keyless entry code buttons; and attainable transaxle Porsches.The team goes on to describe a brief history of the Toyota celebrity support race at the Long Beach Grand Prix; impressive feats from a 190E  2.3 16-valve; Gene Hackman's side gig; Tommy Kendall, an all-around decent guy; a good color change; an interesting museum collection sale; and current watchlist favorites punctuated with Porsche whale-tale nerdiness and shame.Mentioned in this episode:1:30  S52-Powered 1988 BMW M36:25  Pristine 69k-Mile 1990 BMW M315:16  4,700-Mile 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe15:52 19k-Mile 1989 Ford Taurus SHO17:42  37k-Mile 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde17:56  1988 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde21:24  Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport Coupes on BaT24:11  2000-2006 Toyota Celicas on BaT30:57  Mini R53 Cooper S Model Page36:27  IMSA, NASCAR, RX-7s, and Land Yachts with Tommy Kendall37:34  49k-Mile 1992 Ford Taurus SHO38:20  Original-Owner 1979 BMW M138:43  Ex–Stu Hayner 1989 Chevrolet Corvette Challenge Race Car38:54  The Gilmore Car Museum Collection, Offered at No Reserve39:17 Gilmore_Cars user page40:13  1993 Geo Tracker LSi 4×4 5-Speed w/Camso Track System40:55  1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback R-Code 427 4-Speed41:21  Euro 1986 Ferrari 328 GTB42:01 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster43:38  1968 Mazda Cosmo Series II43:42  1990 Lamborghini LM002 LM/American45:23 RoW 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe46:58  Whale Tales: A Visual Guide to the Evolution of Porsche 911 Spoilers47:26  Dual-Quad 350–Powered 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop Coupe47:37  MSCLASSICCARSLLC user page47:46 Bill Goldberg's Twin-Plug 1992 Porsche 911 Turbo49:55  RoW 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Coupe51:26  1975 Porsche 911 CarreraGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community, One Year Garage episode, or (B)aT the Movies subject?

On today's show: Chevy news and rumors, shark fins and dashboard marbles, plus part 2 of our visit with IMSA team owner Casey Carden.

In this episode of Inside the SCCA, I sit down with rising racing talent Asad Nikadambaev, who stunned the field at Buttonwillow Raceway by taking victory in Spec Racer Ford Gen3 against some of the most experienced drivers in the class.Asad's journey started the way many modern drivers do — karting, sim racing, and relentless practice on the sim — but his rise through the ranks has been incredibly fast. In this interview we dive into:• How he went from karting at 10 years old to winning national races at 15• Why Spec Racer Ford is one of the best development platforms in motorsports• How sim racing helped him stay calm under pressure• The story behind the viral racing videos he makes with his sister• His goal of reaching GT racing, IMSA, and beyondIf you want to understand how young drivers climb the motorsports ladder, this episode gives you a rare look inside the mindset, preparation, and family support behind a rising racing career.And yes… he held off multiple national champions to do it.

S Buddhou na severothajském čaji: A že se nemáte jak vrátit domů? To zbytečně neřešte!Nevím, jestli to je štěstí nebo smůla (spíše štěstí, řekl bych), ale jakmile někam jedu, začnou se dít divné věci. Přítel a objektivně inspirativní muž Jiří Šimsa, průkopník kvalitního čajovnictví v Česku, mě už několik let lákal do severního Thajska, takže jsme tady.“To by tě totiž mohlo zajímat,” říkal vždy Jirka, a měl pravdu: “Vždy na několik měsíců v roce jezdím do lesního kláštera Pa Pae na severu země kousek od Barmy, kde se za prvé věnuju buddhistické meditaci, ale zároveň jsem si brzy všiml, že všude kolem rostou v džungli čajovníky. A tak jsem místní vesničany začal postupně učit, jak lístky zpracovat na kvalitní úrovni, a tím si zajistit možnost nového příjmu.”Nejde o to, že by opravdu kvalitní čaj ocenili samotní Thajci, ti to nemají ve své kultuře a čajové lístky spíše jedí zkvašené ve formě salátu. Jde o to, že od nich čaj odebírá například právě Jirka: a tím pádem je k ochutnání ve všech pobočkách Dobré čajovny, kterých za svůj život pomohl vybudovat desítky.

In this episode, we sit down with Peter Hodgkinson, one of the most influential and quietly impactful figures in modern motorsport leadership. With a career spanning over three decades, Peter's journey took him from garage floors in the United States to the heart of Formula 1's most successful era with the Mercedes AMG Petronas team. At Mercedes he served as Head of Build, where he was central to defining the discipline, quality, and technical excellence that helped deliver multiple world championships, and later as Head of Employee Engagement, translating the relentless precision of engineering into people-first leadership and team culture.In this conversation, we unpack:

Jordan Taylor has won just about every major event in sports car racing including the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in addition to winning multiple class championships in Prototypes and GT cars. He's currently racing in the IMSA GTP class for his dad's Wayne Taylor Racing Team in one of two Cadillac V-Series.R prototypes.  During the COVID pandemic he decided to do some triathlon training and has since competed in multiple Ironman full-distance triathlons. We caught up with Taylor at the 50th Anniversary of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he tells us about how he got started in triathlon, how it helps him prepare for his auto racing, while also giving advice to new and experienced drivers on how this type of training can help improve their results. This guy is impressive on the track and off and his insight into this other world of racing is fascinating. Enjoy!NOTE:  You can catch Jordan Taylor at the Rolex 24 this weekend with live coverage from the “World Center of Racing” on Peacock, NBC and IMSA.com.

After that, we talk about NASCAR changing up its controversial Playoff format, James' IMSA prep for Daytona, Josef's commercial, and more.+++Off Track is part of the SiriusXM Sports Podcast Network.
