GHiT 0299: James Candelaria

GHiT 0299: James Candelaria from Candelaria Racing Products (makers of the Sentinel System) and Hagerty's The Drive Within with Round 3 Racing We continue our introduction to Round 3 Racing (R3R) and Hagerty's  "The Drive Within" with another team member James Candelaria.  James races with the R3R team in the WRL endurance racing series.  Last season James was racing in the #601 Porsche Boxster and this season he will be in their new #609 M4 GT4 BMW.  If you watch the series, James was present but his on screen role was slightly diminished a bit as a result of a racing incident which we also discuss during this episode.    In addition, James races in a variety of cars and series, and in his "spare" time he started up Candelaria Racing Products.  The lead offering is the Sentinel Streaming System that solves one of our teams issues and allows us to combine the race car data with our in car video and race standings in one simple package.  In addition, all of this information is available live through streaming.  We are in the midst of installing the system in two of our cars and will cover the installation and use of the Sentinel system in future episodes.  If this sounds like something that may help you and your team, James was kind enough to offer a 10% discount code to all of our listeners.  Please enter "GHIT" during the checkout process.
