| Inside the SCCA | A Race Series Success Story with Paul Anderson and Greg McDermott | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:58:35 | |
On episode 179 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we are taking on something new for the show. We're not talking about a race or a class, or even a hall of fame racer. We're talking about one of the longest running series in the club. The Mid-Atlantic Road Racing Series... known by many as the MARRS series. Paul Anderson and Greg McDermott are on the show to talk about the series from the early days to today. Hopefully we'll all learn some lessons about keeping a vibrant race series going. It's an hour you won't want to miss. For more info on the MARRS Series click here -- https://www.wdcr-scca.org/scca-road-r...

| Inside the SCCA | It's a Family Affair with Ricky Simpson | 19 Jul 2024 | 00:47:18 | |
On episode 173 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with Formula F driver Ricky Simpson. I first met Ricky at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. It was late on a Saturday night, and they were working to fix an electrical gremlin. It was Ricky, his uncle and about a dozen super friendly family members. We chatted for a bit, they offered me a Diet DP and as I was leaving, I asked how's the car -- they said they thought it was good to go and I wandered off. The next day -- Ricky won the race... and he's been running up friend regularly ever since. Tonight, we'll talk about FF, racing with family and more. One last thought -- you don't need to bribe me with a Diet DP to get on the show, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

| Driven to Compete | Meet Leann Falk | 11 Nov 2023 | 00:44:10 | |
On episode 119 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Leann Falk. You need to hear this story. I've known Leann for over 2 years and I didn't know 10% of what she told me during the interview. She has so much racing experience but the most impressive thing is her determination to be a driver and to race. The things she did to support her passion for racing will make you second guess on if you're really putting in the effort to follow your passions. This will just be the first interview for Leann. Both of us fully expect to share more of her story and to provide more details in a follow-up interview. Enjoy.

| Driven to Compete | Meet Bryan Heitman | 11 Nov 2023 | 00:29:15 | |
On episode 118 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Bryan Heitman. Bryan drives a MX-5 Global Cup car. He has been on a super accelerated learning curve in just under 2 years. In that short time he started tracking his car and then he and his buddies all bought Covid simulators and raced each other in MX-5 simulator cars in iRacing. They fell in love with the sim version of the car so they all bought real ones. Because of a shipping issue, he didn't get his until the day before his first Grid Life race.

| Driven to Compete | Meet Peter Zeckert | 11 Nov 2023 | 00:39:23 | |
On episode 116 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Peter Zekert. Peter's first race in his B-Spec car was earlier in the day I interviewed him. But he's been racing in the SCCA for years in GT Lite, GT4, and GT5s since the early 80s. He's got some very interesting stories from when he spent 15 years as a high threat driving instructor for the US military and special forces. You won't find any instructors who's been upside down with students more than Peter - 30 to 40 times. You have to listen in.

| Driven to Compete | Meet Stewart Black | 10 Nov 2023 | 00:44:24 | |
On episode 117 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Stewart Black. Stewart drives a Chevy Sonic and that makes a lot of sense since he owns Bill Black Chevrolet & Cadillac. I met Stewart on the track in the B-Spec a couple of years ago, but since then he's also gotten into GT2 with a Corvette. He's still working through the kinks in the Corvette, so until then, he jumped back into his Sonic B-Spec for the June Sprints, where he won the first race of the weekend.

| Inside ChampCar | Daring Greatly | 26 Oct 2023 | 00:55:00 | |
On episode 88 of Inside Champcar we chat with Lee Muhleman from Daring Greatly Racing. We talk about what it's like to drive Grand Dad's Cadillac. This is the quote that was the inspiration for the team name Daring Greatly Racing.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

| Driven to Compete | Meet Bryon Prokopf | 04 Oct 2023 | 00:26:55 | |
On episode 105 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Bryon Prokopf. Bryon and Carey share something in common. The Mazda2 B-Spec car that he currently owns used to be a car that he raced. He actually bought it from Carey's race team owner Chris Taylor at the runoffs at Indy in 2021, right after I raced it at Indy. The unfortunate thing was that Carey added some damage to the car because of a spin but it all worked out. Bryon and Cary also had a battle royale at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit and they talk a bit about that adventure.
