Posting to this forum because the discussion is mostly about 1/32 racing.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Interesting podcast. I hadn't seen it before, but it has the potential to replace the 1/24 podcast "Between the Lanes" that ended four or five years ago.

Bill,

 

This video was just released less than a day ago.

After viewing on Slotblog, I went back on YouTube to find it to see if there were any other podcasts. They have good plans, if carried forth, it'll be a good source of 1/32 information. I'm hoping they concentrate on analog racing.

There is this, Track Calls, by Marco from Electric Dreams.

 

There appears to be at least 69 broadcasts.

 

I was only made aware of it because a local racer brought it up, citing my old boss, Stuart Koford was the guest, and that my name was briefly mentioned.

ED has good production value due to Marco's experience in the film industry  :D

eg - they put out a good show, n the racers  that race in the events became sort of rockstars...

n Ian is the poster boy,

he was already a good racer under Herman's guidance,,,

n the ED events has been a showcase as to how good he is  :)

Marco stopped by my raceway 5 or 6 years ago, IIRC, on the way to attend the Indy 500.

 

A super-personable guy.
