GHIT 0314: \\xa0Audra Tella on Autocross and a Pre-Intervention

It was almost spring, and we were thinking about ways to get out and start having fun with our cars again.\\xa0 We thought it may be great to go autocross\\u2019ing, especially to start the season.\\xa0 Since we were thinking autocross, we thought we\\u2019d invite Audra back to the podcast to talk all things autocross.\\xa0 Audra is one of the hosts of the Shifting Points podcast and is also one of the leads for the local BMW autocross group near Boston.\\xa0 We talk about what to expect at your first event and what to do and more importantly what not to do to go to your first autocross event.\\xa0 Then we launch our intervention plan.\\xa0 This is part one of the plan.\\xa0 Part two will be revealed in the next episode of the Shifting Points podcast coming out this Wednesday.\\xa0 We started the podcast to get people started having fun with their cars.\\xa0 Audra and her fellow podcast host are already enjoying their cars but, especially after seeing Audra last year at our Thompson race, we hoped we could offer to help them start driving or maybe even tracing on track.\\xa0
