On episode 164 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with Nicole Stout. Nicole is an engineer with Goodyear Racing. You will find her on Super Tour weekends working the Goodyear tire trailer -- at the ready to help drivers racing on Goodyear's get their tires dialed in. She has a wonderful way to break down complicated concepts in a way even I can understand them... something I've dubbed "Nic-splaining". We talk about her journey from handing her papa spark plugs -- to the soapbox derby -- to engineering school at Purdue-- to Goodyear Racing Tires. While we focus a lot on tire management for newbies -- there are some nuggets in our conversation that will help the veterans too. Don't miss this one!

On episode 163 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with Marc Cefalo. Marc is Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour regular and he's super-fast. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say he's one of the fastest Miata drivers in the country. He's always at the pointy end of the field. Marc is also the owner of Planet Miata, so he knows a thing or two about how to make those cars go fast. We'll catch up on his 2024 season and find out what he's expecting next weekend at the Mid-Ohio Super Tour. Partners - A big thank you to our partners who help make Inside the SCCA possible!

On episode 161 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with John Harkenrider. He's the shop manager for Havoc Motorsports. Havoc is one of the premier open wheel prep shops in the country -- based out of the Chicago area. We're going to talk about some of the challenges facing the formula car classes in the SCCA. Three classes... F600, FA, and FF are on probation for this year's Runoffs. That means if there aren't 10 drivers competing at the Runoffs, a national champion will not be crowned. Why is that, what can be done to grow the classes, and what other options could be explored? I'm sure this will be a spirited discussion.
