Jaime Garcia started the Race FF Podcast to share with everyone his racing and building progress and to help everyone get started in racing by showing them that it can be done.\\xa0 Since we have essentially the same goals, it was natural to have him on the podcast.\\xa0 As his podcast title indicates, Jaime races a Front engine Front wheel drive in both HPDE, time trials, and wheel to wheel.\\xa0 His current target is competing in Honda Challenge in southern California.\\xa0 Further parallels between the podcasts is that his fiance has recently begun sharing the car and working towards her racing goals.\\xa0 This episode was recorded live from the road on his recent trip back from having his car caged in Washington.

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\\xa0 We confirm that both podcasts will be racing very similar 1993 Honda Civic\\u2019s next year but Bill doesn\\u2019t know as much as he should about ours.\\xa0 Glad Jaime was here to help us know our own car, lol.

2)\\xa0 A surprise guest bird flew into his window during the episode, actually our second guest bird.\\xa0 It must be something to do with Honda Challenge racing that we aren\'t familiar with.\\xa0 We will need to talk to podcast guest and friend EJ2 Track Rat or more details.

3)\\xa0 Jaime discusses one of the often overlooked benefits of instructing drivers in that it helps the instructor as a driver as well, often in very different ways than when they are driving.

4)\\xa0 Jaime also discusses his transition from HPDE student, to time trial racer and instructor, to wheel to wheel racer into his upcoming Honda Challenge debut.

5)\\xa0 We also discuss several ways to minimize the expenses related in getting started, even if you have no car and almost zero money.

6)\\xa0 Jaime helps Jennifer with potential options for her HPDE and learning to wrench and daily driver car hunting.\\xa0 Any guesses?\\xa0 Who knows, maybe Jennifer will actually listen to this episode.\\xa0 Lol.
