On episode 216 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we take a look at what it takes to make driving race cars a career. Cameron Parsons is my guest and we talk about the ups and downs of being a professional race car driver. It sounds romantic but there are remarkably few people who make their living exclusively behind the wheel. Most have side hustles, coach other drivers, and find other ways to make ends meet. Cameron has managed to keep himself behind the wheel, run his own teams, and work in the industry that keeps him in contact with people that can write checks. It’s an eye opening, don’t miss discussion.

Ray Esports is the official sim racing league of the Inside the SCCA podcasts -- from the "Unofficial SCCA eSports Racing Leagues on Tuesday nights, to the weekend warrior leagues on Saturday and Sunday -- Ray Esports is the place to go for SCCA members to racing. What I like best about the Ray eSports leagues is that the racing is much more respectful than the vast majority of eRacing leagues on iRacing.
