On episode 104 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Rob Piekarczyk. Rob is a super nice guy who also happens to drive very fast. I caught up with Rob at the June Sprints at Road America where he set the fastest lap of the weekend. Rob started his adventures in motorsports in autocross in college, then went into karting for a bit, then Show Room Stock, then Touring 3, then Spec Miata, then Super Touring Lite, and finally landed in a B-Spec Honda Fit and he's never looking back.

On episode 103 of Driven to Compete Carey met with Brendan Kaczmarek. My conversation with Brendan was super interesting. He's been contracted by the SCCA to produce the live broadcasts of their Super Tour races. They stream live from the track with 12 cameras (that he personally places) around the track and they can also capture in-car video during the races. If you've ever wanted to know how those guys in the booth can do what they do, this is a good conversation.

On episode 98 of Drive to Compete Carey met with Johan Schwartz. Johan is a pro driver and Guinness world record holder for the longest drift - 8 hours! I had a blast chatting with Johan about how he got into motorsports, his accomplishments along the way, and then we got into some details about how he broke (and then broke again) the record for the longest continuous car drift. If you haven't seen the video, it's insane. Actually, there were 2 Guinness world records set that day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obkLDeO58Wo
