This week on The Fast and Slow Podcast, Nate gives us the latest on his pedal cart build, including how he’s tackling the steering setup.

Nick shares some reflections from attending a 6-hour sports car endurance race and what it’s like experiencing that kind of action in person. Then we shift gears to the grassroots level, chatting about the world of amateur endurance racing and what makes it so special. And yes — Nate finally ordered his car lift! He gives us an update on the garage build and what’s coming next.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane and share some of our favorite (and probably questionable) high school car stories — from late-night street racing to doing donuts in parking lots. Nate gives an update on prepping his garage for a new car lift (finally!), and Nick talks about his recent guest spot on an Auto-X podcast, what he learned, and how it all went down.
