GHIT 0095:\xa0 Nick Pon of the 24 Hours of Lemons team returns to kick off the 2020 season
Nick Pon returns to our podcast to discuss the current 2020 season for the 24 Hours of Lemons series and the various new aspects of the series for 2020.\xa0 As usual, we digress several times and wander around our subject, but Nick very kindly tolerates us for unknown reasons.\xa0 We eventually go into what the series is about and how welcoming it can be to everyone who has an interest in racing and how to get started within the series.\xa0 There is even a new driver bonus program for 2020.
If you would be so kind, please Rate, Review, and Subscribe to our podcast on your favorite listening platform.\xa0 We would greatly appreciate it.\xa0
