We found several of the original sound files and decided to put this together for a bonus Christmas gift to everyone.\\xa0 This is the podcast recording sessions that started everything.\\xa0 We originally intended this to fill in a week gap that the Everyone Racers podcast took for Chris and Chrissy\\u2019s wedding.\\xa0 However, it took almost thirty tries for us to get to this point.\\xa0

In addition, we added an early snippet of our first GHiT podcast introductions.\\xa0 I guess we did get better over time, but honestly, we really had to, there was nowhere else to go.

We were such newbies back then.\\xa0 Hopefully, we can look back three years from now and feel the same ways about our team now vs then.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

PS\\xa0 Don\\u2019t blame us.\\xa0 Bill\\u2019s editing skills have improved to where this was possible and almost sounds decent.

Best regards,

Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill

Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and\\xa0Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\\xa0 A few of our best E1R intros followed with our own feeble attempt to follow their episode guideline at the time.

2)\\xa0 A very brief wrap up of our recent race at Thompson with the 24 Hours of Lemons, our teams second overall race, and Alan and Jen\\u2019s first ever race.\\xa0 The race weekend was very hot Friday and then very wet and humid for the rest of the weekend.

3)\\xa0 One of our first jokes came at the expense of Jeff.\\xa0 Very fitting.

4)\\xa0 The announcement of the team\\u2019s newest puppy, a Bernese Mountain dog named Zoe Lemons Fischer.

5)\\xa0 Even back then, we had prep issues.\\xa0 Still a focus of our improvement.

6)\\xa0 Alan had bad internet at the time and was using the local Starbucks internet since it was much faster.\\xa0 Lol.

7)\\xa0 When 4-5 psi is an issue on your SpiderStang, a 1984 Mustang GT Turbo, obviously you turn it up to 15 psi or so.

8)\\xa0 The end of the Capri at Thompson is reviewed a bit.\\xa0 The project is still ongoing.

9)\\xa0 Special shout out to Bruce and all his help with fixing the Capri until late in the morning, only to find out our issue was a broken cam shaft.

10)\\xa0 Our first ever racing trophy was received at the Thompson race.\\xa0 Unfortunately, it was the
I Got Screwed\\u201d award and even more unfortunately, it is still our only reward, but at least we have one, lol.

11)\\xa0 Alan\\u2019s first black flag came this weekend.\\xa0 But not his last.

12)\\xa0 Our first ever attempt to help the E1R podcast with a sponsor reading.\\xa0 It did not go well

13)\\xa0 Vicki provides just the tip.\\xa0 It was on the help of Friday practice.\\xa0 We would add pre-race prep to this as well.\\xa0 A lot of this can be done ahead of time with YouTube and various track guides and track walks available, especially our favorites from Ross Bentley and Racers360.

14)\\xa0 We even discuss our plans for the Capri after the transmission and engine issues at Thompson.\\xa0 The plan is still the same.\\xa0 Our skills just haven\\u2019t allowed us to get it to the finish line.\\xa0 Yet.\\xa0 Stay tuned.

15)\\xa0 Proof we can have an episode last less than one hour.
