GHIT 0075: Dillon Brennan of EJ2 Track Rat
On this week\u2019s podcast, we finally \u201cmet\u201d with Dillon Brennan also known as EJ2 Track Rat after missing each other multiple times at the last Watkins Glen HPDE event.\xa0 While he is an accomplished driver and instructor, he started EJ2 Track Rat to help raise awareness to everyone that they can also get out on track and enjoy our great sport with a low budget.\xa0 You can follow him on his Instagram account and his blog, and soon on his YouTube channel.\xa0 \xa0

Highlights include:
1)\xa0 Dillon\u2019s driving history within autocross, HPDE, and wheel to wheel racing (so far)
2)\xa0 We interview a parrot for the first time
3)\xa0 Honda engine codes and chassis codes aplenty, so if you are playing scrabble or battleship, feel free to try to use these random letters and numbers
4)\xa0 How he has found ways to get onto the track and learn with a small budget (one less excuse for everyone).\xa0 Things like working events for future credits, SCCA Track Night of America, etc. and the beginning of their \u201cLobuk\u201d initiative
5)\xa0 One way not to get a college test delayed for a track day
6)\xa0 What is Honda Challenge series and how much fun can be had in this form of wheel to wheel racing
7)\xa0 Bill shows off his Honda engine code prowess, or lack thereof, several times.
8)\xa0 We compare notes on potential ways to paint and theme your car\u2019s livery, including a new one to us, Sharpie paint pens
9)\xa0 What is EJ2 Track Rat and what they are involved in currently and future goals
10)\xa0 The importance of a support group of friends and family towards making this a successful and very achievable activity for nearly everyone
11)\xa0 We review all of our favorite tracks and also get a brief walkthrough of Lime Rock from Dillon
12)\xa0 Vicki complains about the deer, again.
We end with a plea for help with our Porsche Boxster and its ability to break every slave cylinder we can find.\xa0 Any thoughts or options are greatly appreciated.\xa0
