Garage Heroes In Training

We first noticed Annika Carter on Instagram where her moniker is Not.My.Boyfriends.Car and that is the best Instagram name that we know of ever. We then noticed she was going to be racing with us at Road Atlanta for our last Lemons race of our 2018 calendar season. She has quickly worked her way up and races as much as she possibly can. She has already earned her racing license through NASA and we know she can drive as she passed us many, many times during our weekend together. Alan, Vicki, and Bill discuss how things have been going as well as her upcoming plans and goals. Please welcome Annika to our podcast as this week's special guest.

We also added in a brief discussion on the upgrades to our Capri/Camaro transplant oil system, going over oil cooling and the differences between a wet and dry sump system.

Finally, we also discussed whether or not to start a third project race car where we get a low dollar daily driver and convert it into a race car for use on multiple racing series that we are interested in. We'd like to hear from you if you would be interested in us starting this project and giving updates and progress summaries along the way on our website and of course the podcast.

Thanks again for listening and please leave a rating and review on whatever your podcast application of choice is along with any questions or requests for guests, questions, or topics you may have.

We met this team at the 24 Hours of Lemons race in Thompson Connecticut last August. It was their first race, but we could tell just by talking to them there that they were hooked. Did they do well at the race. No. But they had a blast and we know we will be seeing them again at several races this season. They are young and learning quickly. We hope you get to know them a bit better after this episode.

We continue our team drivers interview series with Jennifer. She is new to racing and new to driving a manual transmission. We also added a short section with Mia and Jacob, our youngest team members at this point. Probably not the best plan with post Christmas and elevated sugar levels, but why not. At least we saved interrupting Alan and his family over the holiday break.

Benny and Bill try to get in an episode on the road during the holidays to review the latest DC movie release "Aquaman". We also decided to rank our top 5 DC movies of all time and then also rated our bottom 5. We did have some sound level issues and more background noise than usual, but recording on the road and during the holidays is not our norm.

Chris LoCurto has been a mentor to most of our team for many years. It started when he hosted the Dave Ramsey podcast "EntreLeadership" and then when he started his own business and podcast "The Chris LoCurto Show". We never miss an episode. Vicki and Bill have also had personal coaching from Chris for several years and gained a tremendous amount of insight into ourselves and each other. We highly recommend both his podcast and his coaching. What many may not know about Chris is that he is a true car guy and races several times a year and has won many races and championships. I'm sure he'd race more if his schedule would allow, but his is too generous with his time for giving to others.
