Late to Grid - Grassroots Racing
We share the stories and inspiration that will help get more people behind the wheel and on the track. Track days, HPDE, SCCA, NASA, ChampCar, LeMons, and autocrossing - we interview drivers and industry insiders that will help drivers along their motorsports journey.
The name, Late To Grid? In the past the host, Bill Snow, was always late to the track, late to get the car ready, and hence - Late To Grid. His goal with the podcast is to grow the sport and highlight the tools and resources that will help you get to the track and faster behind the wheel.
Late to Grid - Grassroots Racing
Late To Grid: E4 - Randy Maggio Painesville Speedway & Lorain Raceway Park
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.
Thanks for listening and taking an interest in growing grassroots racing. The Late To Grid podcast shares the stories and inspiration that help listeners along their motorsports journey.
