Twitter famous @FauxWillPower joins us for our 2019 State of the Series episode. We run down all the drivers in the paddock giving opinions on them and the teams. We then all tell our favorite track (1:15:40), what we’re most excited for (1:16:46), and what we wished was different for 2019 (1:19:06). We end the episode calling some shots for 2019; some answers you expect and some are surprising (1:21:30). Thanks Faux Will! Good luck to us all with our choices.

Don, the man behind Champwebdotnet on Twitter and a former consultant for Champ Car, joins us to talk about the Split. We’re looking at what happened and learning from past mistakes. The first topic is, of course, the infamous White Paper (5:29) and what it really was all about. When trying to understand the split and how it all ended up we have a discussion about the Indy 500’s role including how CART viewed the race, and how letting Cart teams in the race wasn’t great for CART in the long run (26:10). Finally, a great discussion on the economic factors both in racing and nationally that ended it (41:43)
We decided to look ahead and use the lessons learned (a great preview starts at 15:40). How INDYCAR needs another engine manufacture and what that could bring (47:27). As the series is growing, we discuss great how to get and keep fans without using gimmicks (56:40). Finally, maybe Firestone likes the idea of using different tires and compounds to really add drama to the races (1:20:27).
Thanks to Don for joining us! If you're not following him on twitter Champwebdotnet - you're missing out!!

Megan Meyer is a Top Alcohol Dragster in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, but more than that she’s also using her education to help other drivers improve themselves and the sport. During our chat we cover her history in drag racing, what her goals are, and how much she enjoys racing against her sister. We learned a whole lot about Drag Racing and the business side of the series; it’s a great interview and we know you’ll enjoy it!
Follow Megan on Twitter at @MeyerSisters especially as there’s going to be something big happening in April!

From the car driving back, we unload all of our thoughts and feelings from the Rolex 24. We run down how our INDYCAR drivers did (great for Rookies and Rossi…not so great for the others), how the all-female team did, and who the true winner of the race was – the Rain. Sure we're not Race Directors, but we don’t mince words about the hot topics of the race including how Alonso has the attitude we all want and just how the hell did Townsend Bell get 8 hours of sleep and we got none?!
