Special Report!
Here we go!!! Autobahn Gets the Green Light! Autobahn leadership joins us on the phone for a in-depth interview about getting up and rolling. I want to really thank the Autobahn for getting our club open! We cover everything a member needs to know from getting through the gate, to getting on the track, and getting a bite to eat along the way! So let's welcome Tim O’Donnell, Craig Cunningham, Mike Gritter, Alan Bertagnoli.

We are getting closer to opening day! As we wait and dream about race cars we thought it was a perfect time to talk about getting a new car. Autobahn Chief Instructor Tony Kester is a long time race car driver and instructor. We welcome him to the show as he walks us through the ins and outs of finding, inspecting, and learning your new race car. We also welcome Autobahn Country Club Podcast Producer Mark McFarlane as our co-host. Mark joined the podcast from his most amazing deck, complete with song birds in the background. Lets get started with a new car with Tony and Mark.

Hello Listeners! Thanks for being here. Two friends of the podcast join us today, Kyle Nadeau and Jordan Missig. We talk about sim racing, what it is, how to get started, and how to join in the fun with Autobahn Country Club's first every E-Racing Series. We discuss how the series will work and end the show with some advanced information about building your own sim racing rig (the contraption you use to hold your seat, wheel and peddles).
