Racing Through Tears & Brake Fluid | The End of Pitt Race

In this Bristol episode 406; Chris gets asked not to bring the hot tub, Chrissy thinks a chihuahua is exhausting, Tim is 40% cold & 80% party, Mental drills holes in a tree stump to burn it with oil, & even Jeff goes to a drag queen sex toy bingo.  Really, we talk all about our memories of Pitt Race. 

It’s the end of an era—and, as usual, the beginning of a lot of questionable mechanical decisions. In Everyone Racers Episode 406, the crew gathers to laugh, cry, & possibly curse their way through their various schools & race weekends at Pitt Race, the legendary western Pennsylvania track that’s closing its doors for good next year.

This episode dives deep into what made Pitt Race more than just another circuit—it was a proving ground for amateur racers, a playground for endurance masochists, & a second home for people who think “budget” & “racing” belong in the same sentence. From all-night wrenching to mid-race miracles, we celebrate the chaos, community, & questionable car choices that defined this place.

🔥 In This Episode:

• WCWO -  Hot tub → stump → Harbor Freight chainsaw saga (yes, we actually try to destroy a stump).
  

• Racing News & Notes — 

• Legal win for racers: a quick breakdown of HB 926 in North Carolina that helps protect racetracks from nuisance suits. 

• Local CO News  -  a rental Kia Telluride gets stuck on Black Bear Pass, near… you guessed it, Telluride.  Don’t ignore the signs, folks.

• Industry alert: First Brands Group bankruptcy & how parts shortages could affect your rebuilds & race prep.

• The Final Lap at Pitt Race — stories, memories, & chaos from our times at this track before it shuts down for good.
  

• Legends of Pitt Race — inside jokes, team rivalries, & the questionable fashion choices that made this track unforgettable.

• Listener Laughs & Paddock Chaos — shoutouts to the teams, drivers, & fans who made Pitt Race the loudest, friendliest, & most chaotic corner of grassroots motorsports.

This one’s for the amateur racers, the backyard builders, the pit crew family members, & every sleep-deprived gearhead who’s ever loaded a car onto a trailer & said, “Next time, we’ll fix that.”

🎧 Whether you’re wrenching in the garage, road-tripping to the next Lemons event, or just here for the laughs, you’ll feel right at home.
