Late to Grid: Taylor Allen – From Buick Regals to Vintage Indy Cars

Podcast

This week on Late to Grid, Bill welcomes Taylor Allen to the Atomic Autosports studio for a chat about his motorsports journey, which has taken him from a surprising first track day experience in a Buick Regal to driving vintage Indy cars.

Taylor shares his early days of autocrossing and time trials, his hilarious “Taylor Allen” decals on his friends’ cars, and the story behind his Corvette crash at Gingerman. He talks about his experiences racing with RadAir Racing, including their memorable (and often bizarre) radio chatter, and shares his plans for upcoming events, including wheel-to-wheel races in his Corvette and a vintage race at Lime Rock.

Taylor gives valuable advice on how to become a better driver, the importance of camaraderie in motorsports, and his unique approach to preparing for an event with his well-organized checklist and tubs of gear. He also reveals the one thing he always forgets, even with all his preparation.

Whether you're a seasoned racer or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and tips from a passionate racer who's living his motorsport dream. Don't miss out on this engaging conversation with Taylor Allen on Late to Grid!
