Show Notes
Rally Colorado was a couple of months ago now, and we had a rare opportunity at this event.
We got to watch the Rally.
We even did our best to capture our spectating experience, and you may have seen the video that we put out about that:

Now, on pretty much the whole drive back, we talked almost non-stop about how much fun we had, and how baffling it was that most people aren't following Rally here in America. And we had a few ideas about how to fix that problem.
But as is the cast with most Road Trip conversations, it was pretty much forgotten as soon as we got back to our daily grind at the shop...
Fast forward a few weeks to last weeks Very Vehicular Podcast with Brian Scotto and Ron Zaras talking about "America's Rally Problem":

This brought it all back to top of mind for us, and sparked the discussion all over again....
So we decided we had to capture this one, and put it out as a reaction podcast.
We hope you enjoy this conversation, and be sure to check out Scotto's podcast as well.
Let us know if this helps to change your perspective on the sport, and if you agree with our ideas about how to make the challenge of Rally Racing more accessible to more people.
And no matter what, hopefully this inspires you to get our and check out a local Rally race or Hill Climb to see what it is all about.
Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

If you own a car, it is pretty much a given that at some point you will need to take it to a shop to get some kind of work done.It could be that you just need to get your oil changed, or a new set of tires put on.But if you have a car that you have started to modify, or you are looking to start a build on your car, there is a good chance that you will need to find an experienced shop to help you along the path with your build for anything from installs, fabrication, set-up, tuning, etc.For this conversation, we sit down with Dan from Mach V Motorsports and Tony from Turn in Concepts to talk about the best practices to find a shop to work with.What is the best way to initially reach out?What kinds of questions should you ask?How important is budget?What if you have a problem you can't figure out?We get into all of these questions and more.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
What happens when NASIOC goes down and doesn't come back?What about these new WRX and BRZ Anniversary editions?We had a plan for this episode of the podcast, but when NASIOC went down at the beginning of the week, and with all the discussion about the Limited Edition WRX and BRZ from Boxer Fest, that plan was pretty much thrown out the window.I'll also mention that Dewey was at the IAG Mother Ship for this episode, so his audio had a few glitches, and there wasn't anything that we could do to fix it in the edit. This was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
Ever since we saw the three new Manual cars that Subaru said they were developing a few months ago, we have all had questions.
Subaru's and Dirt Roads go hand in hand. But over the last decade or so, lots of you have been taking your Subaru's much further, and into more challenging terrain.
