 On this episode of the Cone Coach Podcast Neal Tovsen and Shane Donahue connect again the first time since Solo Nationals and have a bit of a recap chat about our various performances, as well as having a discussion about cold weather tire performance, ranging from heat management to when the no-seasons in the garage may be a better play. If you're uninterested in the story of Neal's first National Championship, we understand.. you can Skip to 27:27 to get right to the tire stuff. But you should totally listen to the first part... Neal made me put that in there because he thinks he's uninteresting. Tell him how interesting the story actually is on Facebook.com/ConeCoach
