Podcast - The Brick, Driving Schools and Misc Ramblings

The MuscleCar Place

I had the chance a couple weeks ago to record a Podcast with Rob Kibbe of the MuscleCar Place. It turned out pretty good with some stories of the Brick, One Lap, Driving Schools and how I got my start with Mopars.

Take a listen and let me know if anybody has any questions. I'm more than happy to expand on the conversations we had in the Podcast.

Good interview. Rob is a fun guy to talk to!

Enjoyed the podcast. Thanks for sharing.

BMW school - don't think we have any of those around here.

Do you still instruct? I'll send you an email.

I enjoyed the podcast (especially since I've got my own video blog I do about once a month or two). I like what you mentioned about investing in the driver over the car. When I went autocrossing for my first time a month and a half ago I drove a bone stock '11 Scion tC. Not the best at handling or power at all, but it's modern. I had a lot of fun just trying to learn the course and the car and trying to smooth things out to knock off seconds off my time. I started the day at about a 49 second lap and was able to knock it down to a low 40 second lap by the end.

Right now I'm doing a bunch of work to my Dart. A new 8 3/4 is going in with a TrueTrac and 3.55 gears. Also a TVS, 18" wheels, and wide tires are going under there. I've still got the stock and tired 273 (practically running on 7.25 cylinders) and a 904 and am going to keep those in there for at least another year or so. It should handle and stop well and hopefully I can work on my driving ability and not worry about the power. I'll most likely be taking it out on Glendora Mountain Road as I can go on my own time.

I like where your heads at Kevin. 15lbs. of nitrous in 2 laps is definite man card certified.

Yes you do... and they had one at COTA in March. I would probably make a trip down to Texas just to run COTA. That track looks amazing.

I don't think you ever stop instructing once you start. I'm not out actively doing it, but I if the opportunity comes up I will instruct still.
