On episode 211 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we connect Ted Burns. Ted is a Formula F driver and he is among a group of people working to grow the class. Back in the day Formula Ford was crazy popular. Over the years that popularity has diminished in the US. That was reflected in SCCA's decision to change the way the small open wheel classes qualified for the Runoffs. It was a wake-up call -- and a call to action -- for drivers in those classes. Now there's a renewed urgency to bring it back to the popularity it once had. We'll talk with Ted about the work that's underway and the plans for this year and beyond.

On episode 210 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we re-connect Nicole Havrda. Since we last talked with Nicole she's competed in the Indian Racing League, she tested in Spain with the F1 Academy, and she won the Formula Pro Winter and Formula Pro USA Championships. We'll talk about what it takes to race all over the world.

On episode 209 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we celebrate the premier of the 5th season of Inside the SCCA with someone I've wanted on the show for a long time. Andy Lally's roots are in the SCCA. He used that foundation to build one of the greatest Sports Car racing careers of all time. Now Andy is embarking on a new chapter as President of Trans Am series. We talk about his start in racing, what he's done with the 8 Rolex watches he's won, the re-emergence of the SCCA as a steppingstone to pro racing and his new gig with Trans Am. It's a conversation you don't want to miss.

On episode 208 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we take a sneak peek into what's ahead for the 2025 Virtual SCCA Convention. My guest is Abby Scher -- she's one of the masterminds behind the convention and we look at some of this year's don't miss sessions. We dig into the convention theme -- "Invite".

On episode 207 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we take a sneak peek into what's ahead for the 2025 Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour. My announcing partner Gregg Ginsberg and DriversEye Live's Brendan Kaczmarek join me to talk about some of the rules changes and what will be new for this year's live race coverage. We also remember two friends who we lost this year.

On episode 206 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we go in depth on what to do with your car after a big wreck. The decision-making process on repairing a car versus starting fresh. Our guest is Ryan Gutile. He had a big wreck at the Runoffs and had that choice. Did he build or rebuild? How did he come to that decision? Now that he's done would he make the same decision again? We'll answer those questions on this episode of Inside the SCCA.

On episode 205 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we connect Bill Skibbe. Bill is one of the cornerstones of the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour staff. He helps keep the timing and scoring team running like a fine Swiss watch.
