How does a random envelope in the mail or a Foxbody Mustang graduation present lead to running a massive five-state racing program? Bill Snow sits down with Jay Andrew and Glenn Robinson from NASA Great Lakes to discuss the "ladder of success" in motorsports. In this episode, we dive deep into the mission of the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), exploring how they guide drivers from their first HPDE track day to elite semi-professional road racing. Glenn shares his journey from autocrossing a Mustang to building a 944 Spec car, and he discusses his leadership role in the rapidly growing TREC (Team Racing Endurance Cup) series. Whether you’re looking to split costs with friends, gain massive amounts of seat time, or race on bucket-list tracks like Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this episode is your roadmap for the 2026 season.
