Front Wheel Drive

My take on why dentists make good drivers and why many of them like to go fast. Also a bit on the Maryhill loops hillclimb at Mini Meet West.  Lastly Genna sings the Anthems.

Visit to the Inited States by Paddy Hopkirk.  A gentleman and legend Paddy talks about racing, winning the Monte Carlo Rally and early Mini culture.  Merry Christmas!  enjoy episode 1.

Mike Kearny is kind enough to talk with me about mini's back in the day and racing history up to the mini Can AM challenge July 26-29 2014.    

News about classic mini racing in the NW,  24 hours of LeMons and some music to mini by.

A lot has happened in my time off,  grand opening of the LeMay museum in Tacoma WA,  a new track opened in Shelton WA and we were there!  

I talk with Mike Kearney about racing,  and the humble Mini. 

Doug gave a talk at Mini Meet West about his career and winning multiple SCCA national championships in a Mini.  These efforts,  and the giant killer that is the Mini should not be forgotten.  Enjoy.

Tribute to Derek K. Miller,  aka @panmachine at http://www.penmachine.com/ Thank you Derek for showing me how to use GarageBand with which I make this podcast,  and for helping me to take better photos,  and for talking with me,  I guess all drummers share a kindred spirit. Mini's and Beatles........ nothing cooler than that.
