Highlights for this episode are:

1)  Add another item to the things not to Google, the original Facebook group title was Lemons Party, No Not That Kind of Party

2)  We answer Ben's write in question of how Scott started out racing dirt tracks and when/if he will return.  I think Ben may be looking to scratch an itch.

3)  Scott's endurance racing plans and interests, as well as a summary of some of the endurance racing highlights he has experiences so far.

4)  Sometimes people will ask what do you get out of racing.  Scott has a great story the describes the Spidey Sense that many drivers develop from racing on track.  This also helps with street driving, especially for the newer drivers on your team or family.

5)  We put out an APB for Aaron who we have lost track of since the summer.

6)  Stories of how Derek's clown shoes took out a potentially class winning Mini at PittRace.

7)  Ton's of pressure was applied when we ask Scott some of the best themes that come to mind.  We also discuss what makes a great theme for those looking to enter a race.  Also, what would seem to be an initially great theme but really isn't.
