Chris Dyson, race car driver, two time IMSA Champion in the American Le Mans Series, three time Trans Am Series National Champion, son of race car driver Rob Dyson, and owner of Chris Dyson Racing joins Stewart Howden to talk about his career and other hot topics on The Classic Auto Mall Show.
He talks about the recent Trans Am race win at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca in California in his Number 16 Gymweed Ford Mustang where he fought the Menard’s number 3 Pittsburgh Paints Mustang. Chris started on the pole after Brent Crews had to bow out. The team placed first and second with Adam Andretti finishing 8 seconds behind Chris. Chris talks about the Laguna Seca Corkscrew and what it’s like to race around turn 8 and 8a and it’s dramatic change in elevation and what it’s like to drive down the hill and get traction and brake around the blind turns.
Lime Rock is probably their biggest race of the year because it’s home for Chris and he has a lot of friends and family attend. Chris discusses his life as both a race team owner as well as a race car driver and what makes each great. He discusses racing with his Dad Rob and finishing first and second in a race and being on the same team in 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 hour races.
They review his current Trans Am Mustang, how it handles and the horsepower it puts out. It’s an FR9 based engine that has been used in NASCAR for many years and could put out over 900 horsepower, but because the Trans Am cars are rev-restricted they are limited to about 800 horsepower. Using NASCAR engines has allowed. Them to have plenty of inventory and parts for the engines.
Chris talks about bringing his kids to races and helping promote his sponsor GymWeed. Gymweed is an all natural energy drink that uses adaptogens and caffeine while being THC free. They also made Muscle Milk.
Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market Magazine joins Stewart for his weekly segment where we bring his blog to life. This week the topic is “Mr. Bright’s Wild Ride” which is about driving through the countryside in his friend’s Maserati 350S Convertible Replica that was built in Argentina and is powered by a 4.9 Liter Maserati four cam V8 with Weber carburetors.
