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.

Autocross to Time Trials to Wheel To Wheel - Toby Weber Shares His Racing Journey
Toby Weber started competing in Autocross events in 2014 in a Lotus 7 and has grown his motorsports endeavors to include track days, time trials and wheel to wheel racing. He also works with Xtreme Xperience as an instructor.
Toby has had a stellar 2023 season including a first place in class at the 14 hour enduro at Nelson Ledges Road Course. In 2024 he plans to continue competing in the OPTT time trials, continuing with endurance racing, and working with Xtreme Xperience.
Toby once thought that motorsports was only for people with money. It's important for everyone to understand that motorsports is open to everyone, regardless of money and it's great that Toby got involved as he's an asset to our sport.
When it comes to advice, Toby highlights that seat time is important and people should just go out and try it to see if it's something they want to do. A big take-a-way he had from this season is to only change one item on your car at a time. Too many changes means that you can't pinpoint what worked and what didn't.
