The Backyard Garage Podcast

Mike Holmes and Matt Carley voice and video chatted with Johnathan Burchardt.  We covered a bunch of topics from home construction details,  Home winterizing tips, track days in a slow car, National autox stories, Region trailer setups and over complicating a podcast recording.  The video test went fine.  Record time rolls around and it all took a dump.  We got it figured out and had a good chat.  Thanks for doing the show John.

Hello again,

Peter Lindberg joins Matt Carley and Mike Holmes for episode 9.  Mike Tate took a sick day and his absence will be excused with a Dr's note in accordance with The Backyard Garage Podcast employee handbook and HR's advisement. 

Peter is pretty active on the Facebook and the Instagram.  A part time autocrosser and near fulltime Gridlife Sundae Cup racer Pete takes us through his autosport experiences.  From good deal Focus ST's to good deal Civic SI's with a catch, he seems to fall up on most of these situations.  This episode covers Fly and Drive Pro Solos, Disgusting Civics, Truck Eating Miata's, Why the Grocery Getter Honda Fit Shines, and the cheat code to get the Honda Fit around Road America.  There is other stuff also.

Welcome back to The Backyard Garage Podcast.  

Mike T, Mike H, and Matt took the usual nonsense show on the road to Carver Motorsports to sit down with Kerry and Casey Coughlin and Chris Carver.  Casey backed up her SCCA ESL National Championship from 2019 with another class championship win in 2021.  Kerry Coughlin finished in 6th place at the 2021 SCCA Nationals in a large 54 car ES field that was a narrow spread time wise through the trophy spots.  Chris Carver of Chris Carver Motorsports provided the location for the record and has some good NASA road racing stories.  Topics covered include Nationals Event Review, Shopping, Sim Racing, Real Road Racing and so much more.

Get in touch with Chris Carver https://www.facebook.com/Carverworks for your race car needs.  Alignment, corner balance, cage building, tire mounting (clean those wheels though).     

As always, thanks for listening and the support.  Please share the show.  It is available everywhere you get podcast.

Alright everyone.  Step back from the ledge.  We have a new episode out.  This week we catch up with Mike Tate and Mike Holmes.  Matt Carley is still in but couldn't make it for recording.  We apologize for the break but I think we skipped a week or 2, then Hurricane IDA came through south Louisiana and left some destruction in its wake.  Trees down, Power lines down.  A bunch of folks in South Louisiana still without power and won't have it for awhile.  So keep those folks in your thoughts.

Another shout out for Frank's Accurate Body Shop in Slidell, LA.  985-641-1454.  www.franksabs.com  If you need autobody work for whatever the cause.  They are certified on most all major manufacturers including Tesla and Porsche.

Ok folks.  We had a meeting with the renewal committee and they recommended to the executive council that us 3 jackasses keep sending out a podcast every week.  I know one of you is probably researching the appeals process on that.  We do have some interesting guests lined up for future episodes so stick around.

This weeks topic turned out to be "Get To Know Your Hosts".  You didn't really think we planned anything, right?  Have you listened to any of these shows?  We have a movie review of Fast Furious 9 (or whatever its called), Go Karts, Mike's VW, Youth sports, tangents and early or first cars, and some other stuff I forgot about even though I just listened to the whole thing to edit it.

As always, Thank you for listening to us ramble and please share the podcast with everyone you know.

PS:

Since I have 4000 characters allocated to this space and if you need help...

Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-team.
