    In this episode, we dive into the essential role of Lead and Follow trucks on Raceday! Our guests—John Hannon, Holly Hippensteel, Joanna Dickert, and Bryan Koval—not only serve the CMU community in their day jobs but also take on the critical responsibility of piloting and co-piloting the trucks that bookend the buggies as they race. They share their firsthand experiences with Raceday operations, navigating course hazards, the ideal truck-driving mindset, and the art of maintaining Sweeps' bubble of secrecy when needed.

    Bathtub Buggy's Singular Roll: Fun and Friendship in 1971

    This episode is dedicated to Paul Spudich, the driver of LSH's 'Bathtub Buggy' who passed away in 2019. Paul is mentioned often in this episode, and we wanted to take a moment to honor his memory. Every buggy lover has probably seen pictures of the bathtub buggy. Ron Benton, Paul Wittman, and Dale Huffman join us on this episode to detail the incredible build and roll of this iconic buggy, as well as share a slice of life about attending Carnegie Mellon in the early 70's. The BAA is also thrilled to announce the public debut of the 1971 short film referenced in this episode. After 55 years, the film is available online in it's entirely for the first time. Thank you to Ron, Paul, and Dale for sharing this incredible piece of Buggy history with the BAA archives. Click here or go to https://youtu.be/CxjlDnwGYNg
