Garage Heroes In Training

Garage Heroes In Traininggarageheroesintraining.com
An amateur endurance auto racing team hoping to show everyone that they too can participate in performance driving or racing. We are a relatively new team and learning right along with you. Our assumption is that you know very little to nothing about the sport but are interested in learning to drive better and eventually maybe even race in a local event of interest. We will cover all forms of racing and hope to be entertaining as well as educational.

EP 0018: The Garden State Goons - Mom Rocket Team

We met this team at the 24 Hours of Lemons race in Thompson Connecticut last August. It was their first race, but we could tell just by talking to them there that they were hooked. Did they do well at the race. No. But they had a blast and we know we will be seeing them again at several races this season. They are young and learning quickly. We hope you get to know them a bit better after this episode.

EP 0017: Our Driver Jennifer with a Mini Surprise

We continue our team drivers interview series with Jennifer. She is new to racing and new to driving a manual transmission. We also added a short section with Mia and Jacob, our youngest team members at this point. Probably not the best plan with post Christmas and elevated sugar levels, but why not. At least we saved interrupting Alan and his family over the holiday break.

EP 0016: WOOT Aquaman and All Time DC Movies

Benny and Bill try to get in an episode on the road during the holidays to review the latest DC movie release "Aquaman". We also decided to rank our top 5 DC movies of all time and then also rated our bottom 5. We did have some sound level issues and more background noise than usual, but recording on the road and during the holidays is not our norm.

EP 0015: Chris LoCurto - Special Guest

Chris LoCurto has been a mentor to most of our team for many years. It started when he hosted the Dave Ramsey podcast "EntreLeadership" and then when he started his own business and podcast "The Chris LoCurto Show". We never miss an episode. Vicki and Bill have also had personal coaching from Chris for several years and gained a tremendous amount of insight into ourselves and each other. We highly recommend both his podcast and his coaching. What many may not know about Chris is that he is a tru...

EP 0011: Road Atlanta part deux

Our team competed at Road Atlanta today. It was cold and rainy all of today and likely will be again tomorrow. What happened, how did we do, what went right and wrong, we may have answered some of those questions, I'm so tired, I'm not sure anymore. It seemed like one of our better episodes, but you will need to be the judge of that.

EP 0009 - Everyone Racers (Fancast)

Sadly Late We have been asked more than once why did we start a podcast. Well, we were listening to our favorite racing related podcast and good friends at Everyone Racers a few weeks back and they needed to skip a week. We tried to get them an episode in time to help fill the gap. It took us a bit over 24 times to finally get something presentable. Largely due to operator error. No one has ever asked to hear it, so we thought we'd post it here. At no one's request, here it is. PS Our latest epi...

We also try to review key areas to help ease any anxiety that may be present at your first (or fiftieth) race. We hope this helps. Please let us know if we missed anything or if you have any additional tips or tricks that we could share with everyone.

EP 0006 - WoOT 1 Stan Lee Tribute - Emergency Episode

We had to have a special Way of Our Topic episode to celebrate the life of Stan Lee with his passing today. The world lost its modern-day Shakespeare and we tried to honor his work and memory. This episode is pretty light on car related content but hopefully we showed a bit of how important Stan was to a large portion of our world. Thank you, Stan The Man., Excelsior!
