S1E15 - Heartache, No Rain, and Go Rossi! (Watkins Glen)

Molly can’t stop cheering for Rossi. Abby’s heartbroken for Newgarden. We both shed a tear for Hinch. Watkins Glen was great, even without the promised rain. We talk about some Push2Pass research, what you get for winning, and of course the silly season. Listen closely – there’s homework!

S1E14 - The Last Oval was Amazing

Gateway, way to kill it on your first race back! The Bommarito 500 was a good race (after the first ten laps...poor Ed Carpenter Racing...) and we talk about the race (how amazing was Conor!), the track, and a good weekend. Molly saw the infamous "rookie stripe" and then interviewed our own Rookie about her experiances at Gateway. Sadly, no more ovals for the rest of the season so we chat about about Watkins Glen and make our picks (come on Conor!). Also - can Andretti Autosport just officially announce their decision? Some of us may need to buy new merchandise Michael! 

S1E13 - Ovals Separate the Men from the Boys (and the Women from the Girls)

The excitement of an oval speed show (thanks ABC Supply 500!) lingers through this whole podcast. We recap one of the most insane races we’ve ever seen. How wide were they at the start? Are there any rules in that pit area? Is Hinchcliffe the greatest there ever was (quite possibly)? Is Will Power using witchcraft? Also – yep Conor’s car is haunted. We talk about some female hotrod racers, how the “don’t send angry messages to Race Control” was a rule written for people like us…and Abby reads the card she got Molly for her birthday. Hold on – Bommarito is going to be just as crazy (we have some fun with double entendres) and Molly’s heading to St. Louis to watch the race and celebrate her birthday! Enjoy!

S1E12 - The Tricky Triangle and Tons of Topics

We preview the “Tricky Triangle” (really the jokes are too easy) and cover a ton of topics including the discussion around Push to Pass, more Silly Season Updates (aka Molly’s dream team), how we get Pippa Mann a full time ride, and our top drivers. Started a new section, giving some updates on Female Racers. We also divulge the real reason we could never, ever, be drivers. Thanks for listening to us if you're not following us on social media (Facebook: Fast Cars Fast Girls , Twitter @FastCarsin317 , and Instagram FastCarsFastgirls) you should bonus material abounds!!

S1E11 - Interview with Doug Thornton (aka we just ask all sorts of questions)

We had the great opportunity to sit with Doug Thornton (@Douguto on Twitter) one of the Indy Camping (@IndyCamping) guys, in his garage a stone’s throw from IMS, and ask him about his experiences. We also picked his brain over the Silly Season rumors. Great stories abound! Great insights abound! Great Marco shade happens! Thanks again to Doug for sitting down with us and letting us ask you all sorts of questions. We both walked away with a lot more knowledge and a lot more tracks on our list to visit (Sorry the audio went squirrely and we lost the last five minutes…we blame Marco). Please give Doug and the IndyCamping guys a follow, they're awesome!

S1E10 - Oh Me-o, Oh My-o, Oh Mid-Ohio!

Not only did we experience our first Indy Car race on the Road – we pretty much killed it! We recap the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio including great times with other fans and chance encounters with drivers (#WhoIsWatchingNorman). Just know, you never bet against two women from Speedway as our picks for this race were amazing, and #ConorCarWatch earns another donation to the JDRF. We also continue to throw shade at Marco, theorize about what Ed Carpenter told Spencer Pigot, and decide we’d be great in Race Control. There’s a shout out to #BadassWilson, and hey in a month we’re in St. Louis!

S1E9 - Driving Miss Daisy 400 (We Didn't Survive NASCAR)

Not to bury the lead, but as we said "Roger Penske thinks it, we know it, you heard it here first, NASCAR sucks". Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the longer track for slower cars, maybe it's the new stage thing; but we don't think this race is a good idea any longer. There's a bold prediction about it's future made. We discuss how the IMS is probably the #GreatestConcertVenueinRacing and the 400 Fest. Thankfully, back to IndyCar action next week at Mid-Ohio (we'll be there - will you?) and the standings are T-I-G-H-T! Take a minute to rate this podcast, and hopefully we'll see some of you in Ohio!

S1E8 - Toronto from the Tropics

Last vacation podcast from us. We talk all things Toronto, including Josef Newgarden straight luck with that pit opportunity, Will Power's sad end, and the possibility of James Hinchcliffe's hometown advantage. We also ramble on about the possibility of drivers moving around. We rant, a bit, about "races are won or lost in the pits" always being said. Discuss Indy Car fights on YouTube, and someone makes a passionate plea to be a lawyer for one of the teams. . . oh and we mention NASCAR briefly because the Brickyard 400 is upcoming, and it's at the IMS, so naturally. 

S1E7 - Corn, Canadians, Rumors, and Vacation from Common Sense

Coming to you from Hawaii we review the Iowa Race from a week ago, preview Toronto, and address the rumors. Of course we take every opportunity to dish out shade on Marco Andretti, continue our growing love for Ed Carpenter, and reveal Molly's slight driver crush. Shit got crazy when we were on vacation so we address all the rumors we found on the internet, including Hinch wanting to try NASCAR, the Andretti switch to Honda (including an epic #TeamHonda rant), all sorts of Penske issues, #BringBackDavisson, and #ManBunWatch - yep we're looking at you J.R.! We're on vacation so be warned! 

S1E6 - Ovals, Road Courses, and of Course Speed!

Another week without a race, so we preview both Iowa (Oval) and Toronto (Road Course), and then discuss which is better. Spoiler alert - speed always wins with two girls from Speedway! There's of course some nostalgia about growing up in Speedway, #LiquorandLights, #Driven2SaveLives, and Molly's Mom taking on the Penske team. Molly, #TeamHonda, gripes way too much about Honda's issues; and Abby relives some memories from participating in the 500 Festival Parade and marching around IMS. There's also a guest appearance by a firework because 'Merica. Keep on listening, next week we take this shit show on the road!
