Ep. 60 Let's Talk About Heat Exchangers with Micah
Today, we have Micah McMahan from 3MI Racing LLC again. We talk about ways to optimize your cooling system. Plot twist: your OEM radiator is likely better than your aftermarket one. As a rule of thumb, you had better have a reason for replacing OEM parts. Fans on a race cars are stupid. We also go through the order of operation to find the spot that best fits your oil cooling needs. We also go over intercoolers, and it gets technical. If there’s one thing from this podcast today, it's duct your heat exchangers. Rule of thumb for radiators as well. Single Pass for most, Double pass for some, Triple pass never. Oh, I almost forgot, DUCT YOUR GOT DAMN HEAT EXCHANGERS!

Today, we have Micah McMahan from 3MI Racing LLC. Micah has a storied history, including going across the pond to work for Oracle Red Bull Racing (Yes, that Red Bull Racing) as a powertrain team lead. He has also worked for Roush Yates Engines, so to say the least, he is experienced in powertrains. In this episode, we explore all things to do with an engine and some of the internal testing/working in F1 powertrains. Why do people skimp out on their cooling system? What else cools your engine besides coolant? We also talk about materials and their properties for engines.

EP.57 Wind Tunnels Are A Dumb With Ido Waksman , A Pratt Miller Aero Dynamicist
Join us in this episode as we delve into the fascinating world of aerodynamics with Ido Waksman, an aerodynamic engineer at Pratt Miller. The company that builds the C8R GT3 cars. With a rich background that includes work with Honda as an aero dynamist in Ohio, Ido shares the intricate steps involved in transforming the C8R base model into a high-performance GT3 racing car. Discover the challenges and regulations set by the FIA for GT3 cars, exploring the aero and body considerations.
In our conversation, we tackle the age-old debate: multiple race cars or streamlined working cars? Uncover the unique insights that reveal the commonalities among car development, where every second in a real car wind tunnel costs a staggering $1. Learn about the meticulous precision demanded in the industry—drop a tool, and it's dollars of valuable time lost. And yes, we agree, wind tunnels can be a bit dumb for some testing.
Ido also draws inspiration from the world of Formula 1, offering a nuanced perspective on how F1 designs can be incorporated into GT3 cars, all while emphasizing the need for a discerning approach.

EP.56 Fastest Corvette In North America, Feras Qartoumy
Today, we are joined by Feras Qartoumy. Arguably, it is the fastest Corvette in the world, but let’s settle on North America for now. Feras, let’s dive into what made him choose the Corvette over his sick Nova—another racer with a drag racing background. Feras shares the background information on how the car got to Australia for World Time Attack. He also shares his first-hand account of driving at Sidney Motorsports Park. Going into a blind turn at well over 160mph is a game-changer. Feras talks about some of his upcoming events, including Tsukuba. This is a great one to get some insight into one of the fastest-time attack cars in the world.

EP.55 Jason Kanakry LOVES blowing up cars especially McLarens
On this week's podcast, we have a chat with Jason Kanakry. Jason talks about his history in racing, where he can't seem to stop blowing up cars, from Ford Taurus SHOs to McLarens. No vehicle appears to be safe. Jason also sheds some light on his adventures in his 720s. From cruising in Mexico at triple-digit speeds to watching his 720s drift away on a trailer with no tow vehicle attached. This man has been through it all! He also shed some light on what he does for a living, hinting that he ensures you don't get radiation poison from things like your phone. Mike nerds out about some of the incredible uses for carbon, and you won't believe how much an OEM crate 720s engine costs. Another E9x GLTC mate as well.
