The 10-episode milestone has been reached! The four ladies are together, even if it’s remotely over Skype. In this episode, Elizabeth talks about what she’s done to her 944 project race car, some challenges she faced, and what she’s learned along the way. After that, enjoy a discussion about small vs large cars, and when it comes to safety technology in cars, could less be more?

In this episode:

• Elizabeth’s 944 project race car 101
• Noisy exhausts
• SCCA ProSolo Nationals
• The Fiat 500 and the lack of interest in small cars in the US
• Reliance on too much safety technology in cars
• How is it that you can’t hear a cat over Skype, but you can hear cocktail pouring?

In this episode of Shifting Points, the ladies chat with Chang Ho Kim, owner of FunHondas in Maynard, MA. Chang Ho Kim also happens to be a fantastic instructor, tire expert, autocrosser, rallycrosser, ice racer, and hyper-miler. Don’t worry. It will all make sense.

In this episode:

• What’s a safety run?
• SCCA Solo Nationals.
• Why instructors are awesome and you should use them.

In this Episode Kathy and Audra talk with Amanda Moore, Autocrosser, Archer and track junkie. Kathy and Amanda give us a review of Evolution Performance Driving School and we learn a whole lot about brakes!

We also learned a lot about recording in a bar, how we should pack batteries in our podcast kit, and some other stuff. But that’s a podcast for a different day.

MaeLynn Filteau joins Kathy and Audra to talk about her experiences planning car club events such as runs and rallies (spoiler alert: Always say thank you to the event organizers!). But before she talks about what really goes into planning a car club event, she talks about her love of all things Mini (and MINI). 

In this episode:

• What goes into planning a car club event
• What not to do at a car club event
• The challenges of planning events
• How to keep the majority happy
• Event scope creep
