Late to Grid - Grassroots Racing
We share the stories and inspiration that will help get more people behind the wheel and on the track. Track days, HPDE, SCCA, NASA, ChampCar, LeMons, and autocrossing - we interview drivers and industry insiders that will help drivers along their motorsports journey.
The name, Late To Grid? In the past the host, Bill Snow, was always late to the track, late to get the car ready, and hence - Late To Grid. His goal with the podcast is to grow the sport and highlight the tools and resources that will help you get to the track and faster behind the wheel.
Late to Grid - Grassroots Racing
Talking Tires And So Much More with Johnny Miller From Track Day Tire
Johnny Miller is a very accomplished race car driver and he shares so much!
The conversation ranges from Johnny's racing career which started in SCCA autocross to why being relevant is important in your racing career (hint: this helps with getting sponsorships for grassroots racing).
He grew from Autocross to racing professionally in Trans Am, IMSA, and NASCAR.
He's set track records at many tracks, landed great sponsorships, and built a tire business to help grow grassroots racing.
Did you know that the government of New Zealand once paid racers and teams to race in their country? Johnny talks about it.
Johnny shares the idea that racing is a game of details. He's right! Listen in as he talks about this concept. His advice? Set goals - it helps get you where you want to go.
We also talk tires. How to store, where to start with tire pressures, how to choose.
