Late To Grid: E5 – Mark Basso, Autobahn Country Club

Podcast

In this episode we talk with Mark Basso, Founder of Autobahn Country Club in Joliet IL.

As you'll hear Mark always enjoyed sports that required a helmet and developed an idea that allowed car enthusiasts to enjoy their passion while including their families in the events and outings.

Did you know that Joilet was the third site they worked with to get this concept off the ground?  Talk about pushing forward on your goal and not letting "no" deter you!!

We also talk about how a few members have grown from racing karts to now driving in IMSA events.  Pretty cool!

Bill and John don't really have any car project updates, but Bill talks about a very interesting find one of his techs had while performing an oil change.
