Bill interviews Manfred Woodall who became interested in motorsports through the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix when he was 13.  Manfred bought a Honda S2000 and started autocrossing.  He then campaigned a Pontiac GXP Soltice.

Then in 2018 he hunted down a Camaro to get back involved.

Manfred talks about how he loves being at the track and  the motorsports community. 

He also shares the news he received earlier this year regarding a cancer diagnosis.  The great news is that he fought and won!  This serves as a great reminder that men need to get their PSA test (prostate-specific antigen test).

Manfred provides an interesting perspective that motorsports doesn't have to be obsessive as sometimes competition can sometimes overrun life.  I am glad he shares this as I believe that some people get scared off thinking that it has to be all-encompassing, which it doesn't.  Being at the track should be fun.

Advice shared:

• Slow down to go fast
• Look and anticipate 
• Have a routine

What's next for Manfred?  Maybe vintage racing in a Datsun 240Z or a BMW 2002.

Spoiler alert!  He's never been late to grid - he shares how he gets to grid early.
