We met up with famous race car driver and racing team owner, Detroit native Robbie Buhl, at a vacant lot in Corktown near the old Michigan Station not long ago for a demonstration of an advanced driving program he and some partners created for teen drivers. His “Teen Street Skills” program spends a whole day teaching skid control, emergency braking, and a variety of skills. Robbie recently moved his racing business to the Corktown neighborhood.

The first three segments of this episode feature a gentleman you’ve heard on our program over the years - Rod Alberts, executive director of both the Detroit Auto Dealers Association and the North American International Auto Show. Rod and his team recently announced that the January 2019 NAIAS will be the last dead-of-winter show. For 2020 they’re moving it to June, when the sun shines and we can be outside. Cobo Center will still be the venue but media, industry folks and public attendees will find some outdoor attractions as well. In the meantime, Rod offers a preview of this winter’s show along with plenty of other auto show punditry.
