Hey everybody, welcome to the CSquad live racing show
this is a pre-recorded show and I'm really really
Excited because we are here to discuss cool stuff around racing and on this episode
Normally, we're going live Monday nights at 7:30. But since it's Labor Day weekend, and we're all racing. We're doing a pre-recorded show
And you should be viewing this Tuesday night at 7:30 instead
I talked about on the last episode and we have with us today
Carson Graham who
I'm going to have him share with you, but I think he's like the associate president of Wissota or a deputy director
but he's
going to evolve into taking I believe Terry Voeltz's role who served Wissota for many many years &
We're going to chat with him about his new role how it's going, some cool things
happening what's going on with Wissota
100? CSquad live is sponsored by Wehrs Machine
Which makes cool stuff for race cars and Redd Headed Rebel Brew coffee
which makes
Branded coffee for
rebels,
Rule-breakers, cowboys, and game changers and they offer free gift cards for all coffee orders
free gift messages, so if you want to get someone a
gift & of course Wehr's makes really cool trick stuff for race cars and is a big supporter of racing and
Some noteworthy quotes
That I heard recently one is "Whiners rarely win and winners rarely whine"
Anonymous think about that one
Tips for learning ask questions. It speeds up the learning curve. Don't be scared to ask questions
You might get some bad answers, but just keep asking questions because you'll get some good ones, too
Noteworthy stories the
12th annual Seitz Memorial race is this weekend in Grand Forks and
Of course
Which is John Seitz
Memorial race it's three days late models Midwest mods and believe they have Street Stocks, too
And it's a 92 lap
$920 to start late model feature for $9200 to win, & there's also great prizes for all the classes racing fun time
And then of course Wissota 100 which is September
12 to 16 at I 94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minnesota
It's a really cool race track
If you've never been there, it's their first year
So they're probably going to have a few bugs & you know different people and so don't expect perfection, but expect in wonderful time
And there'll be live streaming on racing dirt
My good buddies over there racing dirt
I really like those guys &
it'll also be someone I don't know who but it's going to be on MAVTV - so this winter you'll be able to
maybe see yourself on TV.
Or at least you'll see racing on TV and see someone you know, and maybe someone you know
get lucky and win and they'll remember for the rest of their life
Next CSquad live
will be back Monday night September 10th, which is the week of the 100 Wissota 100 and 7:30 live with a
big-ass guest excuse my cussin
I do that from time to time and then we'll also be doing CSquad live each day
at the Wissota 100 in the old Scott Bintz Racing trailer
With a guest everyday at one o'clock
15-minute interview live we'll get some takes on the night before racing
It'll be fun. We don't know what we're doing, but we're learning as we go.
Rebel Rants
just a quick one and we'll get Carson on here is
the new ten-foot pit rule
I don't know if you've heard about this, but it's my new rule tat
I'm imposing upon the racing community and that is if you walked by someone or
You see someone in there within 10 feet. You must say hi or how it's going,
good to see you or something like that because everyone likes to feel welcome &
When you make people feel welcome, you will feel welcome
It's not somebody else's job to do it, It's our job to do it
so let's take care of the dirt we play on and make it friendly & fun &
anyway, tonight,
On CSquad racing shirts there's a link where you can get them and
If you take a picture yourself and post it in the comments of this video
It's a chance to win some Red Head Rebel Brew coffee
which will be selected & now Carson Gramm
Associate Director welcome to the show Carson.
Hey Scott, thanks for having me. Tell me
So I don't know what to call you not the titles matter, really
But what is your role now? And what's it evolving to?
So right now my role is called the Associate Executive Director
Evolving into the Executive Director position from Terry Voeltz
Somewhere in the next couple months here. Sometime shortly after the loop of the Wissota 100
Kind of throughout the annual meeting and national banquet and things like that
You know, it's been a crazy summer taking this on
Going from promoting last year at Granite City Speedway in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota
To just a few short months later after that season ended getting a call from Wissota about this position
And taking it on in February
It's created a very quick learning curve but a very fun learning curve all in the same so.
I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to serving you guys as racers
sponsors, big support, you know supporters of racing the fans the promoters
Everybody that's involved and what sort of racing I'm looking forward to serving for many years to come
What for the people who don't you know, I always think that's cool when I'm kind of you're evolving leadership
that it's really good, great leaders will kind of ask a lot of questions and they'll observe and learn
and it kind of sounds like that's kind of the role you're in and you're
offering some feedback &
You're attending a lot of races and talking to promoters and talking to drivers and getting a little coaching from old-school
Characters like Terry Voeltz. I just smile when I see Terry Voeltz his name, because he's you know,
He's it's heart has always been in the right place.
Whatever you might think of Terry. He's been a supporter of racing & been trying to help the sport for years &
He is a man I would love to always have a cup of coffee with so,
But, tell us about kind of your back and you've raced, you've promoted a track
Now you're doing this. So you you grew up in South Dakota, right?
Yeah, grew up in South Dakota. Not far from Aberdeen, SD in Brown County Speedway where my dad was Terry Voeltz's announcer
When I was growing up
So I got the set up there in the crow's nest in the upper
Left-hand corner of the grandstand if you're looking at it from the racetrack
Sat up there with him watched racing then we started racing go-karts
the which evolved in the legend cars & a lot of traveling & then
Into super stocks and less traveling because I was in school and going to school going to
Minnesota State University Mankato go Mavericks always have to say that
Where I decided to go into sport management and economics and
Decided to take a year off and racing in
2016 and worked at Elko Speedway and
Then it just continued to stay away from the racecar
I guess and took I got a job promoting up here at Granite City Speedway and
Now this so we have since sold all of our racing stuff. We've sold the car
And we're just out of it for a while
To try not to create a big conflict of interest so
It's been fun, you know having family that's worked in it for many years Dave and Sue out at Gallatin Speedway their actually my Aunt & Uncle
our Gallatin Speedway in Belgrade, Montana, so
I've been around for a long time and I just decided to work in it.
Awesome. Yeah, I was a KRA speedway racing and Scotty Paulson's a
flagman there Scotty Paulson's a friend of mine
I really loved Scotty, he's great people and he invited me to come up there after I got done racing
And I wish I had taken, I never I haven't been up in a flag stand
I think it's probably a cool perspective on racing, but I was so disappointed in my performance. I just packed up went home, but
but anyway
Very cool. Then you've kind of been in racing & around racing & wore many hats. I think that makes for a good leader
What's it like to be the Associate President of Wissota Executive Director?
It's a lot of phone calls. Mondays are always crazy with phone calls, obviously
as you know from being in business for a long time Mondays are always a fun day on the phone & emails &
things like that
you know, it's a lot of
Watching social media trying to keep up with drivers
even if you're not at that track, trying to keep up with tracks, even if you're not, you know at that track or in that area
And always having your phone on and always being able to answer questions
As well as just be a friend to people
sometimes someone just needs someone to talk to and maybe blow off a little steam & I can always be that person within reason so
It's a lot of wearing a lot of hats and trying to balance
Balance all those roles as much as possible
Yeah, there's usually no no shortage of opinions and racing. So I think you always have to have a degree of
Listing ear & also balancing
Lots of different perspectives on things for lack of a better way to say it.
So, your normal week Monday is a lot of phone calls. Weekends you're hitting racetracks during the week
you're
Like promoters call and say hey, can we do this? Can we do that? Drivers call? I mean what?
Yeah, I mean it's a number of things, fans will call to talk about their experience at a racetrack
Promoters will call to talk about good things that happened, bad things that happened
Or sometimes just to say hi, how's it going which is always fun and drivers will do that, too
You know, they'll talk about the good & the bad
I like to hear about the good but as you said we always have to we have to be able to listen and digest
Sometimes the bad as well
And the bad things that happen over the weekend at different places or in specific races
You know, but we always try to stay positive through it all and and try to not
Not let some of the things that are said get a person down
and you just have to be happy every time and
know that everyone's calling & everyone has a story to tell & it just about hearing that story &
Trying to help them through that day's problem or that weekend's problem.
So, you know you mentioned that
all the racing stuff sold, you've got kind of a promoter or the grand promoter hat on now to help tracks and the
grow Wissota & help it connect with the fans and &
drivers
and the
Tracks that three things going on there your fans, drivers, tracks
& so that's a lot of different things to
To kind of juggle. What are you most excited about?
I'm most excited
To want to
Work with the promoters & try to figure out ways to put a lot of people in the grandstands so we can start filling
grandstands again
You know, of course we always have to work ways to put more race cars in the pit area
But I believe that'll come with time a little bit
we have to kind of rebuild the interest in the grandstand &
Getting people to understand what is actually happening out there.
Even if it is just the fan that comes to one maybe two races a year at their local racetrack
we want to try to build those guys up the escalator and
Take them from one to two races to three - four - five - six - eventually
Maybe buying a season ticket if the local racetrack offers that option
So, I'm really looking forward to - the things like MAVTV, the things you know working with Scott Hughes that All the Dirt.
You know help out there
And we're working with Scott Hughes to try to get his word out there with All the Dirt Racing News
And try to build that brand & have him help us more
to build
Into things like MAVTV again next year after this year, you know, it's gonna be a great year MAVTV coming on board
And
Then going forward into future years & seeing what we could do to
to grow out of our little Midwest & intO the whole United States and maybe a little bit further south and
west and east and of course North so I think we have a lot of options going forward that I'm
Looking forward to them all. Where drivers, fans, promoters, sponsors.
Everybody we had a little bit of an internet glitch there, so
one of the things that happens
From time to time but
Carson was talking about MAVTV. So tell us a little bit about the MAVTV deal you got going on with Wissota
& MAVTV. Oh, yeah. Yeah so MAVTV came on board to
Do two one-hour TV shows with us out of the Wissota
100. Someone for the modified someone for the late models this year. Hopefully growing that next year
Trying to start somewhere and start with something. So
It's gonna be two shows produced from the 100
With some Pit reporting going on some things like that
So we might stop in your pit area. We might stop in Dan Wheeler's pit area. We might stop in
Someone else's pit area & just talk to them see how things are going & kind of get their take on the weekend.
You know what their strategy is for the big race on Saturday?
Awesome, so that's mods & late models
is the kind of the starting point and so if
washed-up b-mod driver like me wants to
Be shown in the racing action am I gonna have to put a 8-inch spoiler on my B mod race with the big boys.
Oh not necessarily we're gonna do a lot of of stories with it. We're gonna be coming around talking everyone.
So be prepared to talk to us if we show up in your pit area, Don't go running the other way
All right. Yeah, very cool. I think that's awesome.
Any plans this winter to have tech meetings that maybe
Drivers can attend to just better understand rules not meetings to give opinion on what I think the rules should be
But more of Wissota saying hey
Do you have any questions on the current rules and how we tech for them or what we mean by it kind of thing?
Right, so we're looking at ways that we can better
You know better teach the drivers and the teams
About how to make sure their car is legal when it comes to the track so they don't have any issues
When they get there, right?
You want that first night at the racetrack to go smooth you want to end up in victory lane.
You want to make it nice and smooth. No issues.
So, we're always looking at ways that we can better that communication
A lot of people have brought up doing meetings like that
You know and those are some things that Bill and I have discussed
We've discussed those options, I know there are others as well
whether it be doing kind of a video deal like this where we have video cameras set up and
That way people don't have to travel, you know, try to save some people some travel expense & things like that
So we're definitely looking at ways to better inform the driver
And as efficiently as possible. Yeah. I think it would you know, I know sometimes there's concerns of that because
There's people want to give their opinion on what they think of the current rule or where it should be or what
Shouldn't be. But I think like if I was doing it I would say we're having this tech meeting this isn't about to debate
What we think of the current rules, this is more of what
how to how we tech for the current rules & if you have any
suggestions there's a suggestion bucket at the back of the room
but this is mainly if you have any questions & then even
Video that
With a mod and the street stock or whatever some racecars there
would be probably cool because I think there's a lot of newer racers or even veteran racers that aren't really sure of like
You know, how do you do your roof slope or what's this?
I mean some of the rules can be kind of technical into you know
Today's racer isn't a chassis builder, engine builder, shock expert carb guru
body man or woman, I mean & so now some of it gets kind of
over my head and
And so be pretty cool. Anyway now it's cool that you guys are thinking about it and how to better educate racers. So, that's awesome.
Tell us what's in store for the Wissota 100 this year at the I-94 new track for the 100
Should be a huge event
But what yeah
There we have a lot of things going on. You'll see about the same format for the whole week
So we'll still start the three-wide
you'll still have the three qualifying days last chance race on Saturday & then the draw for the random draw for the
final three starting positions
Go ahead Scott. Oh, I was gonna just say, you know
I've been trying to get into the race of champions race & I
Got 7th place on the bottom it Fergus last week or two for the race of Champions race
I think that'll get me and since I won the bottom of the race, can I get into the
anyway
Just kidding. I tell you what I gotta talk to the chain of command there.
Will the race of champions race
can be kind of cool because you get people from various areas that all get in the same race
Which is I think it's really good for racing
Because we all kind of want to see I mean, I look forward to it would be really cool to see you know
Buzzy Adams and Danny Ebert
In the same race close to each other ideally not on the pole make them earn it
Unless it's me. I don't mind being on the pole because I can't seem to win even when I'm on the pole, but
anyway, just joking, but
Racing champions is Friday night or how do they do that this year Thursday and Friday
so on Thursday, we have three classes, I believe that is the
Super stocks
Street stocks and mods. I want to say & then the rest are on Friday
the other three classes. Very cool the schedules on wissota.org
website
Yup, schedules under Wissota.org website. You just have to click on Wissota events
Or hover over it. I should say and click on Wissota 100
And that'll take you right to the the schedule of events for every day of racing including
practice day on Tuesday, September 11
Cool, and so if you're a fan, can you get tickets online there?
You want to get your tickets online? Is it just at the door tickets?
Yep online tickets, you can go to the same places where the schedule can be found
Which is hover over Wissota Events click on Wissota 100
Or you can go to I94speedways.com and click Wissota 100 tickets on I-94 website as well.
How about if the fan wants a pit pass? How would a fan get a pit pass?
Is that just at the track or can you get the pit passes online? No
Those have to be purchased at the track in person at this time
That's just you know, you have to be able to sign that little piece of paper. Oh, yeah
I mean, You have to purchased those at the racetrack, you can purchase them on Tuesday for all the days
Wednesday for all the days Thursday Friday so on and so forth you
and obviously for the drivers this year. You can camp there?
I get a campsite you can do that online - or a call or something
Yep, you can get a campsite online. There's a call number to call on there if you have any issues with that
And that's right at,
they'll take that call up at I-94 Speedway and
Be able to get you squared away. If you're not sure if your camper will fit in a certain spot or not
They'll be able to answer that question for you
But for the drivers we have something cool going on this year
We have free breakfast for you guys every day of the Wissota 100 and so starting on Wednesday
You'll get free breakfast coffee and bagels
By Caribou Coffee and Einstein bagels. So that's something a little bit different that we're trying. No Jack Link's this year
Sorry guys, but it'll still be free breakfast for you guys down in the pit area. So something a little bit different
to try this year for everybody and then
Brock Gronwold will be there too. Brock will be there washing race cars - I'm
Thinking I do believe so he was gonna talk Corey the promoter he was gonna talk to him about that
That's that's their program there. They're getting that all set up. So
Another question about the race of champions race and getting Scott Bintz in it
Dan Wheeler won a Race of Champions said he would give me his spot
Can you get into it that way?
Boy, I don't know. I don't think you can get in and do that or either Scott. I got one more crack
I'm going away to Winnipeg Thursday the Red River co-op Speedway. That's my last chance to get into that bad boy
You got a lot of people pulling for you. Yeah quick sponsor announcement on Wehr's Machine they make cool stuff for race cars
from J bars to
Sliders and everything in between
rear deck height adjusters
So that way you can make sure you can easily adjust the deck your race car and many other things Chad
Wehr's all that check them out Wehrsmachine.com
Onward through with this interview, what's the biggest obstacle you've overcome this year Carson you were
Just in general if you have one that you've overcome this year and racing out of racing
I would have to say dealing with you know, kind of with some of the social media challenges that we face
Making sure things don't get out of hand on social media and make sure we try to stay positive
Whenever we're talking about racing
You can ask a lot of asphalt guys around Minnesota
What happened when things started getting negative they went from having what 4 racetracks to having 1 in the state of Minnesota
It's all about stating staying positive and what can we do do to reinforce positivity in a sport
That's been definitely the biggest question and the biggest thing that I've had on my mind since day one.
Yeah, I mean, I think sometimes being a traveling racer I think sometimes
Sometimes racers and maybe even the fans a little bit will think that
We will get mad at the calls and that kind of thing and I always think in terms of like the NFL has
instant replay and they struggle so
You know and their refs are going to school and their training or watching pay and they get it wrong
And so when you have a bunch of volunteers that are all working for free hamburgers
Then you're probably not going to get right all the time I even had a and I think sometimes that
You know probably on my advice to people and of course I
Went overboard my own self for being a racer at times and done things
I regretted or whatever and I think although when maturity have gotten a little bit better on the
talking to another driver my rule is I need to spend like
10-15 minutes in my own pit area to kind of like
just digest and realize that sometimes in a you only got to be off like a half an inch to
Get into a jackpot racing. And so
Usually it's not intentional. Yeah, sometimes there's a little over driving and
And then even on the calls, you know, I was raised in Casino last night
And I got a call I thought was inappropriate. I talked to the
official afterwards and
You know he said well we're trying to do the best we can and you know last night I felt like I had
passed five cars and they put me back to where I started &
Which maybe it's just how the cautions fell and all that whatever but I think something like that
I just talked to him one-on-one and
By the end of it we were buddies
Racing you win some you lose some
rather than just, you know blasting them on social media where it's really kind of hard but
I'm guessing when you do get that
sometimes you can get out of hand and
Doesn't really help our sport. I do think sometimes like
The controversy of life can
Scott Bintz actually
beat or win race against
Skeeter
Red moonshiner or Red Sunshine Estey. Could I actually beat him in a race?
I don't know because I only got to race him twice this year and I
Beat him once and he like destroyed me once so, but I'd like to race him again side by side
That kind of stuff, that kind of drama is fun & good for racing
because fans are like who's fast or Lance Schill or Skeeter Estey
Let's put him side by side and find out I kind of think
Schill
54% of the time could probably beat Skeeter
Anyway, but yeah, that's probably got to be tough with social media
Sometimes when things get out of hand. What's best practice there? Which what's your
Tips for promoters, fans, drivers, on hey if they're unhappy about something. What's the best way to handle it?
I would say take a day to cool off like you say if it's at the racetrack take
10-15 minutes at your own trailer cool off a little bit
And really think about the situation at hand if it was a racing call and you're a driver
I always try to think about while I
Maybe had one or two go my way that probably shouldn't have you know
When I was racing - so did I get away with a few? Yeah, I probably have
You know, not everyone's perfect
Everyone's gonna make a mistake at some point in time. So we just have to make sure that when you're on Facebook or Twitter
Instagram whatever that
we try to keep things relatively calm and keep the
Keep the sport alive and positive
What, yeah no doubt
What?
What are some things you've seen like different trend
You don't have to name a track or whatever but anything you've seen a track do or a promoter do that you thought
hey more track should do this
So one thing that I've always been asked is if I'm running here if I'm coming to your race track
What should I eat at the concession stand?
I've always been asked that question and I've always thought about it. I'm like, I don't know, you know hamburger, cheeseburger
Walking taco. I don't know I said what's your signature food item? What is
unique to your concession stand that no one else has
So I think that's something that a lot of promoters can take advantage of is coming up with something unique
That that is just off the wall crazy and everyone wants to buy it
Yeah, I think there might be something to that when I go to Humbolt
Speedway in March, they have a Frito pie, which if you don't know what it is
You're just gonna have to go there and find out
But I eat a lot of them & when I eat one right before a race
I'm untouchable. I forget to
I throw out the anchor. Anyway, you know, that's kind of cool.
Speaking of food? What's your favorite racetrack food? Oh
Man, my favorite racetrack food is the tonner at Wishek Tri-county Speedway. The tonner?
What is the tonner for the people that don't know? You've been to Wishek how have you not had the Tonner? Well, I'm 130 pounds
So I'm not
big
So it's I don't even know how big the patties are, but it's two patties of beef
Bunch of bacon a bunch of fried onions a bunch of cheese and a bunch of grease all sandwiched between two buns
And now they actually have the ton-and-a-half. I guess I just got told that the other day so. Ton and a half?
Yeah, more beef or onions more cheese more bacon more grease so
That's probably one of the most unique
Dishes I've seen. Is that one of the things where if you eat it the ton-and-a-half
They're gonna take a picture of you and put it on the wall. Is it that kind of
deal, they should because.
They maybe should. Do it and still stand up
Yeah, yeah. They maybe should it's definitely something that you want to eat if you need more left side weight that's for sure. Yeah
Is there any new driver or track out there that you'd like to give a shout out to
just because I mean, I realize there's a lot of new drivers and tracks, but just thought I'd ask question
Yeah
Definitely shout out. We have a lot of tracks that are returning but with new promoters at them this year
So that's always cool to see getting to talk with the new promoters hear their ideas
And kind of what they've experienced in their life
And hearing their life story, a meeting with them, taking them out to supper and things like that
That's definitely been
It's been a highlight of seeing some new promoters come in and then obviously the veterans it's been a great mix of trying to learn
from both of them.
Yeah, no doubt, any tips for learning like
How to get better as a driver and if you're a promoter, how do you get better?
How do you learn to be a better promoter?
Better driver or better promoters? So I guess on the driver side
from my experience, I would say
don't always worry about making more adjustments & more adjustments
Try to learn what the car is doing before you start
Wrenching on it, you know taking turns out of the left rear, putting turns in the right front
Changing this shock to this shock. So on and so forth
Try to learn what the car is doing before you start throwing all those crazy adjustments at it
And also just know that you're going to make mistakes
You're not gonna be everyone's friend. Your rookie season, you know, you might spin out in front of someone and
Cost them a win but hey, it's it's part of learning
And they might be mad at you right away
But eventually they'll come around and I just know that every day you need to learn something new on the racetrack. So.
The best advice has ever given
I think my second year in Midwest Mods and I was whining to Brian Strand
I had a Millenium Chassis from Brian Strand and I saying like this car is hard to drive &
You know, we should change something we need
And he goes, you know, Scotty
He says I watched you race and you were the fastest guy on dirt for two laps
You just need to know how to put together 20 of those, the car went around pretty good for two laps
instead of 20 and it's like oh, yeah, I guess
Anyway, so good advice. How about for a promoter?
You know, I would say make sure that the track conditions are consistent
are consistent but make sure the drivers can't easily guess them
It's always good to keep the driver guessing a little bit so it evens out the playing field, but then also better
Makes for better racing then?
Yep, You know, yeah
I mean you want to have a consistency guys
So you don't have one heavier race track one week and a super dry slick racetrack next week now, obviously
That can't be helped some nights. If you have rain a half hour before the show for an hour before the show
The track is going to be a little bit heavier than it normally would be so sometimes it can't be helped and
So it's about staying calm. You're always gonna have a driver mad
But I guess as far as advice I think I'm still learning a lot too
So I always have something new to learn and I always call on the guys like Randy Queensland
Dave Wise, you know
The guys up in
Up at a Gandhi Claw Speedway, you know, I callin a lot of guys to to always learn something new
And then of course Terry Voeltz, he's been around a dirt racetrack his whole life. I think so
I always have to learn something new
I always say like I told you before if I don't learn something new in a day
Then it was a not a successful day
So I always gotta learn something new about either the racetrack
the racing business sports business in general or just business in general, so.
One of the things when I was
Getting my start. I worked for a company called and Agricover and
Eventually, I became the National Sales Manager
but I would go out all over the US and Canada and I would see how people did things around the product but then in
collectively you
would see a neat thing here and neat thing there, a way if someone did it over here and I
Could take it back to the headquarters and kind of kick out best practices
and share them with everyone because I could get the
perspective of how they did it on the East Coast and the south of West Coast this big shop little shop, whatever and I think
I'm happy to see you hitting a lot of different racetracks because I think sometimes you could
When you get to see different things that different tracks do that are cool
I mean obviously some things are unique to attract but there's also like some general best practices, you know, I think in general
Racing needs to modernize a little bit dirt track racing on
you know getting your tickets online and you know, some of those kind of things and even
But that being said, I think the whole key to anything is keep learning and and that's cool to see
What advice would you -
Goal of the interview was around 30 minutes or so and I kind of lost track of time because it's kind of like
You and I are just having a one-on-one
conversation so - two quick more questions and we'll wrap it up there was
What advice would you give to a racer that was struggling a little bit with
You know, maybe a little frustrated and
Right, I would say
Stay calm
Stay calm and talk to other drivers throughout the pit area
if you're struggling
Who an ill-handling car?
That's definitely something to talk to your chassis builder about or maybe the guy that you bought the car from
Maybe he has some sheets that you can use and whatnot
and
I would also say to
Always remember that you're gonna learn something new when you go to that racetrack
you're gonna learn that there might be a little patch of rocks down at the bottom of turn 3, so
You know that stays there if it's still there next week
I got to remember to go in above that or else it's gonna get loose on me
You know
Like you're gonna blow the cushion off if you're racing at a track like Brown County Speedway
Where it builds up a nice cushion on the high side
You're gonna go in above that cushion a couple times and it's gonna get frustrating. It's gonna get really frustrating but
Just keep trying something new
but also stay within your limits if you know that, you know, maybe right now I'm racing 4 wide with some people and I'm
Getting lapped and I don't really have the experience to be here
I know it's not that bad just to maybe back off a little bit. Let them guys go
hate to say back off in a sport but
Sometimes that's how you learn is watching those older guys and the guys that have been around it made a ton of laps
So I think that there's a lot of ways that you can
bring that frustration level down and not just talking through things and
calling up our tech people, our tech people are very great and
knowledgeable about race cars and a lot of them have been around a long time and
They might be able to give you a little tip or something that they saw in your car when they were looking at it
So it doesn't hurt to call people. Our phones are always on right now
In fact, I just see mine hanging over there, and I'm I'll let it go. I'll call back
Yeah, it's kind of interesting on all of the different things that go into how to improve you know
I watched a lot of video guys like Shane Sabraski and Dave Cane and you know
The one thing about those guys, they always finish races. They always finish they always finished a lot of times you'll see a guy
Blow it in there a little maybe wild and they'll kind of back off
and then just get them the next corner or the next lap and
Where there's kind of an art to it and that, you know, sometimes it's not
Sometimes you do have to slow down to go fast. And sometimes it's just keeping the car straight
Sometimes the new guys I work with always suggest and you know work on
Making consistent laps race your own race
if someone passes you don't in a race your own car because if you if
You you pass if they pass you and then you kick it down
Trying to keep up with them. You might get even slower that's been my experience. And so I mean those are all things that you
You know let the guy
Drive it in too hard and then you slow up early and then you pass them because they're still collecting it, you know
all of those are all things that I
think you
will time and and but also
Watching some of the guys that are really good
too and even asking them questions, you know, what are the
I'd ask Cody Skytland one time like man. How do you drive that wall like that? That's just amazing he goes
Well Scott, I'd rather hit the wall from this far away
Then this far away. It's like oh that makes sense
anyway
anything
That you'd like to share that I didn't ask that I should ask the Wissota racing community, drivers, fans
Before we wrap it up here
Yeah, I mean
Here it at Wissota auto racing. We want to hear everyone, we want to listen
but like I said always try to keep it positive we're gonna hear the negatives and
We're gonna see things we read everything that we see
Nothing gets past me. I try not to let anything get past me
I try to read absolutely everything I can I'll randomly just pull up a
Driver's profile on facebook and if I can find them and see how their weekend went
So don't be surprised if you get a call for me randomly on a Monday saying hey, how'd your weekend go?
You know, it's all stuff that I like to do and I want to keep an open line of communication
And try to be here for everyone as much as possible a
Quick question going back to the race of Champions race. Do you think Wissota should have like a fan favorite to do that
They led into that race that didn't win a race of Champions raced & still won like 11 12 13 times in the season. Oh
That would actually be something kind of fun. We can do it sort of like the all-star race in NASCAR. Yeah, I thought they
Put it all out there on Facebook
And oh, yeah more Facebook live things that way that two people tried to build up their own fan boat, you know
I'd probably lose that too. But
Anyway, I appreciate you coming on the show share a little bit about it. I'm excited for the Wissota 100
Thank you
