About this episode

The episode features off-topic discussions including engine teardown, coaching adventures, and race strategy nuances.

Off-topic show! Back by popular demand. No intro or announcements on this one—we dive straight in. ***TOPICS: What Ross found when he tore down the engine from his Lotus Elan — Jeff's tale of French sports-car drivers meeting North Carolina NASCAR spotters — The summer coaching adventures of Ross and Sam — How the phrase “hot foam around your butt” relates to Jeff’s IMSA-champion son Colin — Ross going thunderstorm rogue at Sebring — and more! ***PLUS: Spotter theory, race-strategy nuance, and how the art of getting faster has changed in the last 30 years! Our last off-topic show went strange places. This one is a lot less weird. (But it does hold the words, “hot foam on your butt.”) This show changes format weekly, because squirrel. This week’s format is an experiment—we call it “INTC TANGENT HOUR.” This episode was produced by Sam Smith. ** Who We Are + Spicy Merch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ItsNotTheCar.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ** Support It’s Not the Car: Contribute on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/notthecar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ** Topic suggestions, feedback, questions?
