Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports podcast

Hot Rod magazine is an iconic title in our industry, and the guy in charge of making sure Hot Rod stays awesome is David Freiburger. More than an editor, Freiburger oversees the entire Hot Rod brand, from print magazines, to web media, to video and anything else they can think of to get their message out. We love chats with other folks in the car magazine industry, and we think you'll enjoy riding shotgun as we talk shop with Mr. Freiburger.

What if your only limitation is designing a race car was your imagination? That's a lot like what the designers of the radical Deltawing started with when they were honing their controversial, arrow-shaped design. We sit down with Deltawing's Chief Engineer Simon Marshall to talk about the design and development process of this revolutionary car, and what it's like being the kid on the block with the strange toy nobody understands.

Margie Suddard was kind enough to play guinea pig in one of our first podcast technical tests. This was never intended to be a distributed podcast, but after we listened to it, we realized it was an extremely compelling look at what it takes to survive in the publishing and small business world these days. The audio is a little rough in spots, as we were still working through our recording methods, but we hope you excuse those and enjoy fascinating chat with our office mate.

Chrysler’s SRT division is more like an independent tuning shop than part of a huge corporation. The men and women building cars there are true enthusiasts, but they have the resources of one of the largest car builders in the world at their disposal. We talked with SRT’s head of vehicle dynamics, Eric Heuschele, about the cars they build and the people who build them. Eric has been a friend of GRM for a while, since his days mixing it up behind the wheel of an SSC Neon.
