S1E4: Start a Car Club

Les Epps is a racecar driver who has been dedicated to racing cars since childhood. We discuss our passion for improvement and diving deeper into the world of track days and racing. Ryan recaps his experience repairing the BMW Spec E46 before Carolina Motorsports Park and driving Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York.

Tony Marchev from TonyMotive Performance (TMP) joins us to reflect on Circuit of the Americas in GLTC with GridLife. Andrew discusses his experience with Road America and Virginia International Raceway. We discuss plans to go to Carolina Motorsports Park at the end of this month.

Ryan and Andrew discuss why it's worth it to start a university or local car club and their track day and travel plans for the coming few weeks. Plus the potential participation in GridLife, Autocrossing (AutoX), and tracks we want to go drive some day.  

Ryan and Andrew touch on the shoot at Michigan State University, how to get into cars/performance driving at any age as a hobbyist, and starter cars that have automatic transmissions. Although most people might say "I like cars", it can be daunting to dive deeper into the world of automotive performance. Picking a place to start, alone, can be a difficult decision. Sim racing often ignites the spark for many at a young age, but there's nothing like owning a car in the real world to get you started on your journey.  Everyone has to start at the same place. The longer you wait, the longer it will take to get up to speed with everyone else. Simply owning a car will increase your motivation to learn, which will lead to a deeper understanding of many topics and comes with the added benefit of knowledge that transfers to the future cars you'll own down the road. 

Ryan and Andrew discuss supply chain issues, fun automatic cars, ice racing, the podcast, Chevy Cruze vs Subaru BRZ street race (or not), Chevy Cruze hate, and jobs.

Join us for the launch of our brand new podcast, Heel Toe! In this first episode, Ryan and Andrew will be discussing all things automotive, from the latest racing events to their own personal experiences on and off the track. With RevMatch Track Days as the backdrop, they'll share tips and tricks for getting the most out of your car on the racetrack. Tune in every other week for a fresh episode filled with engaging car talk and a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of two passionate track enthusiasts.
