Rob Dyson is a New York based businessman and retired professional racing driver with a long association with Watkins Glen International and the International Motor Racing Research Center. Following completion of his licensing school at Watkins Glen in 1974, Dyson began competing in amateur SCCA competition. In 1981 he won the Sports Car Club of America's GT2 national championship. Dyson began racing professionally in IMSA GTO and the SCCA Trans-Am Series in 1982. The following year, to support his professional racing efforts, Dyson founded the Dyson Racing Team, which over the next few years grew to be one of America's premier sports car racing teams. From it base in Poughkeepsie, over the course of nearly four decades the team won 19 championships, 72 race victories, started 72 times from the pole and achieved 224 podium finishes. Among the team's notable accomplishments is a pair of overall victories in America's premier endurance race, the Rolex 24, at Daytona International Speedway. The team fielded cars during the heyday of the IMSA Camel GT, winning its first time out with a Porsche 962 at Lime Rock Park. Under Dyson's leadership the team went on to successfully field entries in Indy car, the World Sports Car Championship, the United States Road Racing Championship, the American Le Mans Series (where the team scored two championships), the Rolex Sports Car Series, and the Pirelli World Challenge, where the team scored Bentley's first-ever North American race victory. During his 21 seasons as a professional racing driver Dyson drove in 92 races, scoring four overall race wins (including the 1997 Rolex 24 at Daytona) and a total of 18 podium finishes. Dyson continued to compete episodically in professional racing through 2007 and today remains active driving his collection of vintage Indy cars in a variety of demonstration events. Dyson's personal historic Indy car collection ranges from a 1913 Isotta Fraschini tipo IM  to Johnny Rutherford's 1978 Budweiser McLaren M24B, and includes the 1961 Kimberly Cooper Climax, the first successful rear-engine car to compete in the 500.

Well, what a difference a week makes! While we were congratulating ourselves on such a nice little program on behalf of our "skeleton crew" of diehards after last week...it sure is good to have the whole team together again! Yes, JD and Gigi are back, we're ready for our farewell to September edition of the John Clay Wolfe Show--and we've got a LOT to offer! John's pal Adam Carolla stops by to talk about what may be the Hollywood/SCCA Auto Racing collection that beats them all: the models driven by the great Paul Newman in countless Sports Car Club of America, Le Mans, and Trans-Am races...PLUS, Joe Exotic gets us all caught up on life in Federal prison with no power for a number of days, his disdain for President Zelenskyy and other generally goofy notions, and his hope for winning a full appeal and quick release--possibly this year (let's just hope none of the judges on his motion to appeal panels are from the Ukraine)! Of course, JD Ryan has an astounding collection of breaking news stories and curious tidbits, including an Arkansas pastor who some think may be the secret identity of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley--and yes, we've got him on the show! Meanwhile, the Colonel, Mike Turley, brings us every angle (and some VERY useful betting odds) on this week's College and NFL football matchups, Gigi gives us levity and insight on an endless variety of current events and pop culture savvy, and Bobbo's got a new "one-liner" for just about every facet of this week's conversation. And don't forget, DJ PreKay is a creative genius, with a listen to his "bare bones" start at crafting a new Hip-Hop/Gangsta take on ABBA's "Dancing Queen," and of course you'll get our own inimitable take on Music, world news and politics...and a whole "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" vibe! So stop on by, and prepare to be entertained--the Wolfe Pack is in rare form this week, y'all! Glad to have you along. Cheers!

In this compelling episode of Hearts of Oak, we sit down with Claudio Lessa, a journalist with over four decades of experience, to explore the complex landscape of Brazilian politics and media freedom. Claudio shares his journey from Brazil to the U.S. and his return, only to face political persecution. He discusses the temporary freedom during Bolsonaro's presidency, the contentious handling of the pandemic, and the alleged election irregularities leading to Lula's controversial return to power. Dive into the discussion on severe media censorship, the role of social platforms like X in resisting government overreach, and the ongoing struggle for democracy in Brazil. This is an essential listen for insights into the fight for truth in a climate of suppression. Claudio Lessa, a multifaceted personality with a rich tapestry of experiences, was born in 1955 in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His life, split evenly between Brazil and the United States, has been a journey marked by a relentless pursuit of diverse passions and professional endeavours. Lessa's career in journalism spans several decades, where he has made significant contributions across various media platforms. He has worked with multiple television networks, bringing stories to life with his distinctive flair. His writing, featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, and online platforms, showcases his insightful commentary and provocative style. Lessa's work as a blogger further highlights his commitment to engaging with contemporary issues, often stirring the pot with his observations and analyses. Beyond journalism, Claudio Lessa is an accomplished singer-songwriter. His musical talents led to the creation of a recorded CD, reflecting his deep connection with Brazilian music and culture, while also exploring universal themes through his songs. His adventurous spirit also led him into the high-speed world of auto racing. As a member of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), Lessa indulged his love for speed and competition, adding another layer to his already diverse persona. Described as a provocateur and a sometimes "pain-in-the-ass," Lessa is known for his candidness and his ability to find humour in almost any situation, which has endeared him to many while challenging the status quo. This characteristic has made him not just a journalist or a musician, but a cultural figure who provokes thought, discussion, and often, laughter. Claudio Lessa's life story is one of crossing boundaries, both literal and metaphorical, between countries, careers, and personal interests. His ability to excel in journalism, music, and racing, while maintaining a sharp wit and a critical eye, makes him a unique figure in both the Brazilian and American cultural landscapes.

Peter Brock is an American automotive design and motorsports legend. At age 19, while attending Art Center School, Brock became the youngest designer ever hired by General Motors' design department. In November 1957, legendary GM stylist, Bill Mitchell, selected one of Brock's sketches to become the iconic 1963 Corvette Stingray. After securing his SCCA racing license at 21 years old, he acquired an ex-Le Mans Cooper and returned to California to pursue a career in racing. He landed at the famed Max Balchowsky's Hollywood shop. His next move would be as Carroll Shelby's first employee, running the newly-formed Shelby School of High-Performance Driving. Soon he was working for Shelby American, where he penned logos, merchandise, ads, and car liveries. He designed the Shelby components of the Shelby Mustang GT350s, and his renowned Shelby Daytona Cobra coupe won the FIA GT World Championship. Following his success at Shelby, he founded Brock Racing Enterprises. Brock put the previously-unknown Japanese car maker, Datsun, on the map. The BRE prepared Datsun's dominated SCCA racing, winning on Sunday --and selling on Monday. In 1967, he ventured to Baja with Mary McGee to race in the first Mexican 1000. The experience led to an obsession with off-road racing, and the desolate peninsula. Brock returned to lead the Datsun factory race team for the next three years. Since those early days, he's repeatedly covered the Baja 1000 as a journalist. In 2010, the Art Center College of Design awarded Brock their Lifetime Achievement Award for "Outstanding accomplishment in the fields of automotive design, technology, innovation, motorsports, and journalism." He was inducted into the Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame in 2017. Follow Peter Brock on Facebook here. Learn more about Peter Brock and BRE here.

Hello Fellow Racing Ear Enthusiasts,I had the great pleasure of chatting with Bob and Becky Pengraph for Episode 9 of The Racing Ear Podcast.  At the time of this interview the Classic Sports Racing Group first event of the year, the David Love Vintage Races, was 2 weeks out to be held at Sonoma Raceway April 9-11 2021.  I wanted to chat with Bob and Becky about how and why they do what they do for this vintage racing organization.  Bob and Becky live in Canby Oregon and are frequent visitors to Portland International Raceway in Portland Oregon and at Pacific Raceway in Kent Washington.   Becky Pengraph has been involved with the Sports Car Club of America for over 20 years.  I first met her down in the hot pits at Sonoma Raceway during the CSRG events as she was directing race traffic, making sure that racing cars and drivers are in safety compliance, saying hello and giving hugs, and sharing her homemade beaded necklaces.  Bob Pengraph is the Media Chief for the CSRG and has bestowed media credentials to me in the past for me to cover previous CSRG events starting back in 2016 for my website TheRacingEar.com on YouTube.  He has extensive experience being a racing photographer for the ChampCar World Series and the American Le Mans Series and is a consistent contributor to Victory Lane Magazine.  Bob and Becky are amazing and dedicated racing friends and colleagues.  Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast!#beckypengraph #bobpengraph        #scca#lateralgimages@smugmug.com#victorylanemagazine

We also offer tips on racing in the rain. James Colborn’s Speed Secret: Get comfortable with what data can do for you. James started racing in 2009. A graduate of the ProFormance Racing School in Seattle Washington, James acquired his first race license from the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs (ICSCC) and raced his novice year in a BMW E30 series called PRO3. From 2009 until 2017 James lived, and raced, in the United States running in a series of both professional and club racing events. Driving predominantly BMWs, James won races in the ICSCC, National Sports Car Association (NASA) and Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). This ranged from winning the 25 Hours of Thunderhill to SCCA and ICSCC sprint races. James also competed in numerous professional races in the Continental Tire Series, Street Tuner (ST) class with C360R and BimmerWorld. In 2018 James moved back to the United Kingdom and shifted focus to Open Wheel racing and the Formula Ford 1600 series. In 2020 James competed in the Castle Combe FF1600 Championship finishing second in C Class and winning the Formula Ford Carnival race (C Class). James campaigns his Van Diemen RF88 with Wayne Poole Racing. James is passionate about driver development using data.

Hello everyone! I apologize for the late episode as family and work have gotten very busy during this time. This week we welcomed Brad Bowman of Bowman Tracks onto the podcast to discuss his business and the story of the Katz Spa Ring in which he hosts the annual 24 Hours of Katz Spa Ring. I then reflect on the year of 2020 around the hobby and offer a sneak peek into the COHORA Winter into Spring schedule for 2021 and the events set to take place around the hobby. We want to dedicate this episode to John Cukras and Oscar Koveleski. John passed on the morning of November 30th 2020, and Oscar on December 29th. Both were big figures in our tiny hobby, and contributed a large part to the golden age of hobby in the 1960s. John is also responsible for designing the Tyco 440x2 chassis which became a force in HOPRA racing from the mid 80's to the early 90's, and someone a lot of us racers looked up to. Oscar was a Sports Car Club of America Hall of Famer who founded AutoWorld, a mail order catalog specializing in slot cars, RC cars and models which was an essential pathway for many racers to get parts in the 1960's, and continued to promote and support the hobby up until his unfortunate passing. We all here at H.O Racing Today would like to send our sympathies to their friends and family, and their legacies will live on. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ho-racing-today/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ho-racing-today/support

Your Learning Curve Never Sounded So Good The Panel: Bill Nalu is President of Interstate Auto Care in Madison Heights, Michigan and has been in business for 30 years.  Bill collaborates with industry professionals, in building today’s “high-tech/old-fashioned” customer service system. Bill has been a big contributor to the podcast and he currently serves on several industries and educational advisory councils including AutoValue/Bumper to Bumper, Dorman Industries, and Cardone. Listen to Bill’s previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=nalu) Tom Piippo a three-time recognized ASE Technician of the Year and owner of Tri-County Motors, Rudyard, Michigan. Tom was honored by ASA as their 2017 Alpha award winner for his generous and far-reaching contributions to the automotive service industry. Tri-County Motors is equipped to handle most anything that rolls in the door, from Alpha’s to Windrowers. Tom and Kris instill a caring, learning culture within the business. Employee’s know that training is mandatory when they are hired. Attending all local training events is required along with most major state and national training events. Listen to Tom’s previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22Tom+Piippo%22) Alan “Ollie” Gelfand is the founder and driving force behind German Car Depot, and a former professional skateboarder and developer of the “Ollie” skateboarding trick. A few years after injuries ended his professional skateboarding career, Alan begins competing in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) road racing events. Building and driving his own VW race cars, Alan went on to win several national competitions including four 24-hour endurance races. Alan discontinued racing in 2002, this allowed him more time to focus his efforts on building German Car Depot into what it is today, South Florida’s dealer alternative for expert German car auto repair. From Skateboarding legend to autocross state champion to repair shop owner Alan ‘Ollie’ Gelfand has a great story and he is not bashful to tell it. Listen to Ollie’s previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22Ollie+Gelfand%22)   Key Talking Points: A four day work week always gives you a 3 day weekend and it takes a bit to fire up the Monday coming off a long weekend. Will your customer respond to a change to fewer days. Challenge to find a tech to work six days. Workaround your techs schedules to give them some time. Customers and techs have a seven day a week life. Bill would like to go to a 5 day a week but bring up a great argument to stay at 6. He provides flexibility in his schedule to help his people accommodate their life. Scheduling creativity, if you have enough techs could work 4 ten hour days. Alan is using Craigslist for hiring with rewards. Alan is a 6 day a week shop doing 20-25% of his weekly volume on Saturday. His guys can turn a lot of hours on a Saturday. In his ads to find techs he always talks about a four day work week. He has different pay plans for techs depending on what works best for them. He needs 160 hours per week to earn a great living. Alan does not work on Saturday. Saturdays are a lot of oil changes and maintenance. They have six loaner cars. Never have enough. He would go to 5 if he could find the techs to knock out the work.

Our guest is former championship driver, successful track owner, and philanthropist, Skip Barber— a well-known personality in the sports car world. For this edition of “Sidedrafts”, host Larry Webster traveled to Lime Rock Park, the challenging track in Northwest Connecticut that Skip has owned for 35 years. “Every time I come here, I’m blown away by how beautiful it is,” says Larry. In this episode, Skip talks about his passionate interest in racing and sports cars, his time behind the wheel as a driver, and what makes Lime Rock special for drivers.    In the mid-1960s, Skip won three Sports Car Club of America national championships in a row. In 1969 and 1970, he won two Formula Ford National Championships. Later, he took part in the United States, Monaco and Dutch Grand Prix races. Skip also talks about starting his well-known racing school in the early 70’s. “I discovered two things,” he says. “I really liked the process of being in business and more importantly, that you could really teach people how to drive a race car.”

The son of parents involved in the SCCA, he’s lived and breathed autocross, corner marshaling, rally and rallycross, and club road racing his entire life.

Paul Newman was a fixture in the car racing universe. How did it happen? Winning. Newman saw the script for the 1969 movie about a car racer and his love life and decided to make sure it was elevated from movie-of-the-week status to big budget box office picture.  Winning was about a race car driver who focused on succeeding at Indianapolis at the expense of his marriage. And it kind of sucked. Joining us is Heyward Wagner, Director of Experiential Programs for the Sports Car Club of America. Heyward has first hand knowledge of Newman's impact on the SCCA racing scene and agrees with James and Sid that the movie kind of sucked. How accurate was its portrayal of various forms of racing? What good came from the movie? (Spoiler: Lots of good came from the movie) Can a "great" racing movie be made today? Follow @ReelsandWheels and subscribe on Stitcher and iTunes.

Early last fall, the Sports Car Club of America announced a new entry-level pro formula car program, Formula 4. When most people think of junior formula programs in the US, the Mazda Road to Indy is the first to come to mind. While the combination of USF2000, Pro Mazda and Indy Lights makes for an excellent program for those seeking a career in IndyCar, it's lack of inclusion in the Super License program makes it a challenging path for those seeking a career in Formula 1. Paul gives us the complete details on the origins of the Formula 4 program, how it fits into the SCCA Pro Racing program, and into the larger American junior formula car racing landscape.
