In this episode of the podcast I welcome Eric Franz to the show. Eric and I first met at the SCCA Enduro at Nelson Ledges, but we knew of each other prior to that. As you’ll hear in the episode Eric has grown in our sport quite a bit in the past seven years. He started autocrossing and has since moved in to time trial events and endurance racing.
Eric shares some great advice for those looking to get into our sport.
