Highlights from the episode include:

1)\\xa0 We quickly gloss over the new raspberry additions that Alan and Bill added to Vicki\'s garden area.

2)\\xa0 We cover from post-race of our first race at NJMP to the conclusion of our second race at Thompson

3)\\xa0 How our team grew from our first race with 4 drivers to where we had a two-car team with 8 drivers.\\xa0 Our preparation was not quite up to what it should have been. Especially with 4 additional drivers, two of which that had never driven a manual transmission before.

4)\\xa0 The advantages and disadvantages of a teen drivers on a racing team

5)\\xa0 How a perfectly performing a running car from our last race did not stay that way during the trip back from the track, to the great surprise of all involved. Carburetors are not our center of expertise and decided to let us know.

6)\\xa0 How the SpiderStang theme came to be and what we learned in doing it.\\xa0 It ended up looking great, but the process was not one we would recommend.\\xa0 Sometimes you learn what to do and sometimes you learn what not to do.\\xa0 We also mention how we built "Bondo", a PVC and spray foam version of a mannequin to be used as Spiderman on our car.

7)\\xa0 Vicki\'s trials and tribulations for her first time driving to a race with a race car trailer.\\xa0 It did not go very well.

8)\\xa0 How our first time trying to stay at the track went.\\xa0 In a word:\\xa0 poorly.\\xa0 We have come up with much better sources for renting RV\'s to stay at the track since then.

9)\\xa0 How our new drivers first time driving went.\\xa0 Quick checklist, panic attack at being strapped in, panic attack about going on a racetrack in the pit lane, first ever racing in the rain and heavy fog, and how to be a rolling chicane on the track.

10)\\xa0 Prompt Critical helped us with our cars but gave away a bit too much information to Liam and Cassian.\\xa0 They now knew how to adjust (read as increase to maximum) the boost of the turbocharger.\\xa0 After all, more is better, lol.

11)\\xa0 How to dial in a brake proportioning valve during testing.

12)\\xa0 Alan\'s chipmunk powered internet popped up again, a few times.\\xa0 Bill had no idea on how to edit this, but it seems pretty funny.

13)\\xa0 How we became an award-winning racing team at this event.\\xa0 It all started with Jennifer and her license in driver tech inspection.\\xa0 Well on our way to minor internet celebrity status.\\xa0 Still on the way to this day.

14)\\xa0 Things we learned at our first ever rain race and our first ever fog race, all at the same race.

15)\\xa0 The story of the death of the Capri and the birth of El Jeffe, The Bad Hombre.

16)\\xa0 We share the secret concoction to keep fog off your windshield that was shared with us by the Three Pedal Mafia.

17)\\xa0 Alan treats his body like a temple?\\xa0 And we finally found the root cause for why Alan doesn\'t want to work on the Capri.

18)\\xa0 Bill tries to avoid sleeping in the bathtub even though we won the coveted "I Got Screwed" award.

19)\\xa0 Finally, we go over the post-race awards and the trials and tribulations we went through to get home afterwards.
