Loisirs

Fréquence : 1 épisode/15j. Total Éps: 34

Off The Racing Line is the podcast where motorsports gets real. Forget the polished, perfect moments. We dive into the chaos, the mistakes, and the breakthroughs that happen when you stray from the racing line. From racing to HPDE and instructing, host Carlos Espitia sits down with racers and coaches who’ve been there, done that, and lived to tell the story. We’re talking about the unfiltered side of racing—the lessons you don’t hear about in the driver’s meeting. It’s not just about speed; it’s about the hard truth of pushing limits and facing the unexpected. Get ready for real conversations

Garage iD Pro Spec Miata Series: More Prize Money, More Track Time — The Future of Spec Miata?

Saison 1 · Épisode 22

mercredi 24 décembre 2025 • Durée 30:58

SCCA Spec Miata Drivers: Is the Garage iD Pro Spec Miata Series the Next Step?In Episode 22 of Off The Racing Line, we sit down with Todd Buras, Senter Smith, and Trace Hance to unpack what may be the most important structural shift in the Spec Miata ecosystem in years.This conversation breaks down three interconnected pillars shaping the future of grassroots racing:🔧 Garage ID Prospect Miata Series (2026)The Prospect Miata Series is evolving from a single end-of-season payout into a per-event prize money model, with cash distributed across multiple categories — including Overall, Legends (50+), and First Female — at every race weekend.With Trace Hance stepping in as race director, the series emphasizes clean racing, fast decision-making, and accountability through education, not politics. The result? More track time, cleaner racing, and a paddock culture that rewards competition without sacrificing community.🎓 Collegiate Racing Series (CRS)CRS is building a legitimate pipeline from HPDE and academy programs to true wheel-to-wheel racing — powered by universities across the country.With nearly 60 schools involved and growing, CRS teaches far more than racecraft: students learn budgeting, fundraising, program structure, and long-term planning while competing under FARA’s professional infrastructure. Upcoming events at Road Atlanta, NCM Motorsports Park, and a National Championship finale are setting the stage for the next generation of racers.🔑 Why This Episode MattersSpec Miata drivers gain more chances to win money per event.Students and families see a real, affordable path to racing.Teams and programs benefit from structure, clarity, and celebration.The sport itself gets cleaner racing, better drivers, and stronger culture.From podium celebrations to press-box education, this episode makes one thing clear: the FAR ecosystem is building racers, not just race results.As always — everything interesting happens off the racing line.🚗 Sponsored by GARAGE iD Pro Spec Miata➡️ https://farausa.com/race-info/fara-pro-spec-miata-class-announced/🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more.Website: https://offtheracingline.com/YT: / @offtheracingline Instagram: / offtheracingline TikTok: / offtheracingline Facebook: / offtheracingline Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-racing-line/id1806756528Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6iDQbkts2ggd6aMuN11dbo#SpecMiata#SCCASpecMiata#SpecMiataRacing#prospecmiata

Cupcake Racing: The Tragic Story Behind the Team Name

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

jeudi 28 août 2025 • Durée 26:26

Episode 12 – Victory Lane Edition: “Tow Hook” Kelly & Rob Garza

We’re back at Homestead-Miami Speedway for another Victory Lane Edition of Off The Racing Line. This time, we sit down with two very different racers on the same grid: James “Kelly” Ganjei and veteran driver Rob Garza.

Kelly shares the deeply moving story behind the Cupcake Racing name — a tribute to his daughter. It’s a moment that brought the whole set to the edge of tears and shows the soul that motorsports can carry.

Alongside the heavy, there’s plenty of light. We uncover how Kelly picked up the nickname “Tow Hook Kelly,” swap laughs and close calls, and dive into the similarities and differences between racing with FARA and NASA. With Rob’s two decades of racing perspective and Kelly’s fresh passion, this episode blends experience, heartbreak, and humor in a way that only racing life can deliver.

It’s an emotional ride — full of grit, grief, and a reminder of the community that keeps us all on track.

Car Meets vs. Track Days: Look What I Got vs. Look What I Can Do

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

jeudi 21 août 2025 • Durée 52:27

Episode 11 – Brian Blash: From Car Meets to Track Culture

We’re back with Episode 11 of Off The Racing Line, recorded after an insane run of six trackside episodes. This time, we sit down with Brian Blash to dig into the crossroads between car meet culture and track culture.

From the rise (and fall) of BMW meetups to why most enthusiasts never make the jump to track days, Brian doesn’t hold back. We break down the dangers of street racing, Florida’s brand-new “speeder” law, and Carlos throws a direct challenge to every wannabe street racer out there.

Plus, we talk about running track days in an 800whp BMW G80, some hair-raising close calls, and we wrap it all up with a brand-new rapid-fire segment that you won’t want to miss.
