Ron Sutton on the Hotline and NCM Results!

In this episode of the show we asked Ron Sutton on to give a brief update of his upcoming July 7 workshop in Columbus, OH (just before the big Good Guys show). This short interview may be the best example we’ve heard in regards to the education that is necessary to set up a neutral handling car before trying to make track day tweaks. Spots in the July 7 class are limited – so be sure to sign up soon!

The big (and hot) NCM event is now in the books!

Items of Note:
1) Country music singer / songwriter James Otto was at the event and took his first laps EVER on a road course.  Even cooler was that he did them in his Grandfather’s ’66 Chevy C-10 (named “For Pete’s Sake”)!

3) There were 86 Cars at the event!
