In The Race Podcast

It happened! Kevin completed a race season, and guess what? He was pretty busy. Finally we put all of this into a single mega episode. Grab a coffee, go on a roadtrip, whatever you have to do, do so while catching up on the epic season in Gridlife GLTC for 2024. Corey and Kevin get into all the details and come away with some surprising takeaways from the epic journey.

It doesn't get much more epic than this! Kevin talks about the 48 day roadtrip in his Ford Bronco from driving up a volcano, to working on the road and to a surprise stint up to the arctic circle!

For the first time, we bring 2 guests on together to talk about racing, performance product manufacturing and great business practices that have grown their idea into a viable company. Raphael and Shahab are amazing at what they do and I've had the pleasure of working with them behind the scenes for awhile now. Buckle up for a fun background and some insight into what will come in the future!

That safety guy we all know from the drivers meetings, that one source for all your racecar needs? That's Ron and Discovery Parts. We catch up with him and learn his back story. It's a long episode but we could have gone on for hours more about safety and swapping fun stories with a guy who's seen it all!

This was an amazing opportunity to get the story, dig deep into the history, and learn all about how a pro motorsports wing turned into a household name for aerodynamics. Beware! We get a bit nerdy on this one, but we keep it fun.

There's so much to learn! Enjoy!
