Road America Preview
In this episode we give a full blown preview for the final OSUSC points event of the season at Road America. While we’ve been running events at Road America for years we’ve never had the place for more than one day of competitive driving segments, AND we’ve never run the full length road course before. This year both are happening…and it’s going to be epic!
Listen in as Jimi explains the full weekend schedule as well as some tips and tricks to keep you, your car, and your fellow competitors smiling all weekend. Jimi especially has some tips to help you on the road course!
Thanks for listening – and good luck at the event!
