We are excited to have local race promoter Randy Maggio on the podcast for a deeper dive into local racing. Randy and his family own the Painesville Speedway and Lorain Raceway Park – both in northern Ohio. This kid will knock your socks off! 20 years old and hustling each day to make local, oval racing the best it can be.
Randy talks about his family’s racing history, what he has planned for 2021 (hint: there’s already a full schedule at each venue), and he talks about this crazy thing called the Turkey Leg 150 (which Bill & John have both raced in).
You can follow Randy and his tracks at:

What are the guys up to?
Bill sort of has an update on getting ready to tackle the RX-7s, talks about how his truck is still in the body shop and shares that he hired a handyman to help with some projects at the shop.
John drives his E30 this week and needed a twist tie to fix his throttle. Plus there’s some more Jaguar talk, this time on the silver one.
