On today's podcast We have on for the first time being able to say this the 2022 National Champion Jonathan Baker. We talk about the race his win after many attempts and key take aways from Laguna Seca. We talk about being welcomed to the beans and dog experience and how much he enjoyed being out on the track at Laguna Seca.

If you care to listen to me fumble and try my best to announce the 2022 Honda challenge H2 and H4 race well here, you go.  It was awesome meeting people from Texan, Mid Atlantic and showing some of So Cals best drivers in H4. 

We have some content for you guys. From Nationals At Laguna Seca I have on Karla P. , Carlos Valenzuela (not Valencia), Jonathan  Baker and Steve Peterson We talk about the Qualy race and how hard everyone went. We had a campground vibes to it but it was an awesome time so the audio was a bit noisy soo be forewarned.

On today's episode we talk about real time attack cars and one of the most interesting entry level time attack series Sundae Cup. I talk with one of the series more notable drivers Michael Smith driver of the 395 Honda fit fresh from his win at lime rock. We talk about why the fit is a better started track day car than the Miata, and many of the quirks and advantages of the fit. 

Jonathan Baker driver of the number 32 H2 integra is a well-known driver in the Mid Atlantic. He has the most podiums of any current racer in the Mid-Atlantic region (He has been doing for a lot longer than most). He is currently my choice to battle for the first-place position at nationals this September. We talk about the competition for nationals, why he chose Honda Challenge and the only other car he raced at pro level. I'm looking forward to seeing him race in person.
