Free Bonus Episode! What's it like to spend a whole week and thousands of miles with someone you barely know? Ever tried that while barely sleeping, while lapping nearly a dozen race tracks at speed, while trying not to lose your mind?Welcome to spectacle—the event, the 40-year tradition—that is One Lap of America.Ross is an ambassador for BFGoodrich. A while back, his friends at BFG called and asked if he wanted to run this year's One Lap in a new Honda Civic Type R. Ross said yes. His BFG co-driver, Ed Gliss, turned out to be a great guy. They both had huge fun. So we called them on the road—during the actual event—and got a debrief.

Landing a job as a pro race driver takes talent, hard work, and a truckload of money.Or sometimes just money. And some people do it for giggles, as a hobby. (You know, like knitting! Just with more Senna inspo quotes.)This show changes formats weekly, because squirrel. We call this ep's format “MY LIFE WITH.” It's where an INTC host tells the story of how they came to understand a complex racing topic over their working life. In this case, that means Jeff, his career as a champion race engineer, and the unique species that is the amateur—a.k.a. “semi-pro” or “pay”—driver in professional motorsport!RELATED TRIVIA: Jeff is currently knee-deep in prep for this weekend's IMSA race at Laguna. Ross is on One Lap of America, hucking around the country in a Civic Type R. And in the most exciting news of all, Sam just got back from the grocery, where he discovered a jam-filled French cookie that tastes almost exactly like a raspberry Pop-Tart.(If you no longer go for gnarly French jam cookie, you are no longer… etc.)This episode was produced by Mike Perlman.**Who We Are + Spicy Merch:www.ItsNotTheCar.com**Support It's Not the Car:Contribute on Patreon www.patreon.com/notthecar**Topic suggestions, feedback, questions?

GHiT 0581: Heyward Wagner on his One Lap of America Heyward Wagner is back after his recent adventure on the One Lap of America in his newly built Club Spec Mustang. As we discussed with Heyward on one of his earlier appearances, the Club Spec Mustang series was created to make a car that was competitive and fun to race in all types of motorsports, so naturally the OLoA was a great place to show the car's capabilities. And to have “Fun With Cars”. How did it go? How did the car perform? Did they meet their goals? It's in here. Plus, what was Heyward thinking when he accepted to race with us at an upcoming Lemons race? Not sure, but we aren't letting him get away.

Becky Burton, a trailblazer in the male-dominated motorsports industry, has overcome numerous challenges on her journey to becoming the crew chief for Robertson Racing. Her passion for racing, ignited in 2018, has led her to establish her own team and business, specializing in trackside setup, analysis, and coaching. Despite facing exclusion and not fitting in, Becky's determination and work ethic, inspired by her grandpa, have propelled her forward. Becky's perspective on her journey and challenges in the industry is that while she has not been outright told that she doesn't belong, she recognizes the underlying biases and barriers that exist. She believes that the lack of invitation and inclusion for women in the industry has made it difficult for women to feel like they belong. However, she encourages other women to get involved in all aspects of motorsports, emphasizing the importance of trying new things and pushing past self-doubt. Becky also acknowledges the need for more exposure and publicity for women in motorsports, as well as the importance of women supporting each other in the industry. Join Melinda Russell and Becky Burton on this episode of the Women's Motorsports Network podcast as they delve deeper into Becky's journey and her perspective on the industry.
On episode 124 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Tim White. Tim does all kinds of motorsports in several different disciplines and organizations. He's raced in Grid Life, SCCA, and the One Lap of America. Tim is a Solo and ProSolo veteran in the SCCA. He drives a Cayman this year but he's usually in a Street Mod car He's also a very popular guy at the Solo nationals each year in Lincoln Nebraska. He and a buddy took the torch from the previous owners to create a homemade margarita machine and let's just say they serve a lot of people at nationals. Tim shared some good stories with me but I have a feeling it's only the tip of the iceburg. He told me a story about how he almost losing his license when he was younger, which ultimately got him into motorsports.

It's hard enough to train for a marathon. But what if you could only train in a crowded prison yard, with borrowed running shoes, on a small track with potholes and six 90-degree turns? That's what the members of the San Quentin 1000-Mile Club running group face – on top of the harsh living conditions in California's oldest prison – as they prepare for their annual marathon. A new documentary, 26.2 to Life, goes inside the prison to tell the story of the San Quentin Marathon, its participants, and why they run. We talk with the film's director as well as the club's running coach, and one of its former members. Guests: Christine Yoo, director, the new documentary "26.2 to Life" - Opens Fri (September 22) at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, Rialto Cinemas Elmwood in Berkeley and Rialto Cinemas Sebastapol Markelle Taylor, former member, San Quentin 1000-Mile Club Frank Ruona, coach, San Quentin 1000-Mile Club
