GHIT 0108: Randy Bish from the League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessman racing team is our Guest
Randy Bish is a relatively new lemons racer for the League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessmen racing team that is off to a spectacularly good start by making all the best bad decisions possible, including racing their 1972 Ford Pinto.\xa0 On this episode, we go over his racing experiences so far and cover the topic that no one ever thought they wanted to know:\xa0 what is the best way to race a Pinto in endurance racing.\xa0 Jennifer and Vicki particularly enjoyed this since their first car was also a 1972 Pinto.\xa0 Randy may be new to Lemons, but he seems to have found his tribe.\xa0
\xa0
On Dominating with Dawson, Ben covers being on track for the first time, what to do, and what not to do.\xa0 It can be intimidating at first thought, but hopefully, this will assuage some of your potential concerns and give a brief guideline if you are going to a track for the first time and what the other drivers would like for you to do.\xa0 Short summary, stay on line, stay safe, and be predictable.\xa0 They also expect you to be off pace, so don\u2019t worry about them or the F1 and Indy Car scouts in the grandstands.\xa0
To follow Randy and his team, you can find their team on Instagram or Facebook as the League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessmen with their official pace car of mediocrity.
We hope you enjoy the episode!\xa0 The episode you never asked for.
Best regards,

Highlights from the episode include:
1)\xa0 Design discussion of why the flames go in reverse from the back of his Pinto.\xa0 Our more seasoned listeners likely already know.
2)\xa0 How he learned all the details of his grandfather while his grandpa was behind the while as Randy was a boy.
3)\xa0 A summary of his two races last year at Pitt Race and Gingerman with the 24 Hours of Lemons.
4)\xa0 Randy\u2019s very novel and very lemons charity fund raising method on the 24 Hours of Lemons i-Racing events, how this horribly awesome idea came to be and how much money he was able to generate for charity at the cost of some of his liver.\xa0 Maybe someday he will remember the race, but we doubt it.
5)\xa0 We may actually have convinced Vicki to race this Thursday.\xa0 Tune in this Thursday and we shall see.
6)\xa0 Matt Ferenchak and Florida Man Donnie get a few mentions, some even complimentary, lol.
7)\xa0 Randy Bish tries out for being a spokesmen for the Michelin Ice-X tire for amateur endurance racing.
8)\xa0 How a water pump can become a spinning end mill of death.
9)\xa0 How the initial \u201csuccess\u201d at Pitt Race led to his team going all in and winning the Heroic Fix at their next race at Gingerman.
10)\xa0 We find out the Randy Bish has a car obsession with big, Detroit luxury boats, the floatier the better.\xa0 But that does not seem to explain his having owned 3 SVX\u2019s.
11)\xa0 Their team\u2019s experience as the unintentional role as the unofficial Yellow Flag \u201cPace Car\u201d at Pitt Race.
12)\xa0 Randy actually was able to use the term provenance and Pinto in the same sentence.\xa0 Admirable.
13)\xa0 We go deeper than anyone ever thought possible into the advantages of a racing Pinto.\xa0
14)\xa0 \u201cTires are evil and must be punished\u201d.\xa0 Words to live by.\xa0 And Jen\u2019s train agrees.
15)\xa0 Bill gets an honorary place on Randy\u2019s list of favorite drivers.\xa0 But it turns out to be kind of like winning the Heroic Fix award in Lemons.
16)\xa0 The El Jeffe makes a surprise appearance in being a desirable race car to swap into, but then again, Randy is used to driving a Pinto race car so\u2026.
