Maximize your experience with Max Track Time

Charles Streicher - Operations Manager for Max Track Time

Max Track Time began as a private testing program for two car racing team, Stratus Racing, in 2020. Our focus was to host two-day tests on weekends or as close to weekends as possible, so to make it convenient for our drivers with full-time careers outside of racing. Despite starting as private tests, the demand to attend quickly grew, and from there, Max Track Time was born.

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to the Gran Touring Motor Sports Podcast Break Fix, where we’re always fixing the break into something motor sports.

Their mission is in their name to provide the maximum amount of high quality track time for their participants. Events are open exclusively to experience racing and track day drivers. This allows them to remove run groups to allow their entrance to manage their own schedules to best service their needs.

Tonight we’re joined by Charlie Stryker, operations Manager for Max Track Time to explore the idea of how you can maximize your entire track day experience with them without compromises. So welcome to Break Fix Charlie. Hey Eric, thanks for having me. I appreciate you guys bringing me on. So like all good break fix stories.

Everybody has a superhero origin. So let’s talk about Charlie, the petrol head before we get into what is Max Track time all about? Did you get into cars as a kid? Did you come from a racing family? Did you come into it later in life? I got in [00:01:00] maybe a little later than most kids did, but. You know, earlier than a lot of folks who discovered it later in life.

In fifth grade I saw a movie called American Graffiti. My dad was a big fan of old movies, so, you know, he always had us watch those. And there was a drag race in that between, it was Bob Alfa’s 55 Chevy and Milner’s 32 Deuce Coop. I just thought that those things were the coolest things in the world, and all I wanted in fifth grade was to have a yellow deuce coop, just like Milner’s , you know, a little unrealistic, both for the age and you know, I don’t think you’re gonna see a teenager driving around in a classic car like.

You know, when I was old enough to drive, I did end up buying myself a Mustang. I wanted to be just like those cars in that movie. So I chopped all the exhaust off, made it loud as hell. It was, my mom hated it. You and everyone else around town thought it was the most annoying thing in the world. But man, I thought I was cool.

You know, after college finally had a little bit of cash, and so I wanted to start doing track days and whatnot, and so I did it in that Mustang. That car was probably the worst car to do track days in . [00:02:00] You know, you’d kind of drive up to the corner, hop out, lift the car up, turn it, and then go to the next corner.

Taught me the fundamentals enough, you know, I was able to then kind of leverage that into then going to the Skippy schools doing Skip Barber and racing in that, you know, from there, racing just kind of took off and that’s what I’ve kind of been doing since then. So, if you had to buy a track car today, new, old or in the future, what would you buy?

You know, I, I had the opportunity to drive a, a radical SR three a while. . Yeah, I just think that they’re great value. I think the NPO one honestly as well is, is pretty good value when looking at a track car for dollar per mile and just the, the pace per dollar. You know, I think the NPO one is an extremely underrated car.

Well, our Thunder Hill car, you know, we’ve got that built with a, uh, 2.5 liter, putting out 250 horsepower. And at Audubon Country Club on slicks, we were. F three car pays, you know, and granted Audubon Country Club not the fastest track for an F three car , but the amount of aerodynamic ability that that car has built into it is [00:03:00] phenomenal.

You know, like the, the SEKO NPO one, the guy who builds him, his name’s Ben Cooper, he used to be a wind tunnel guy for Williams f1. You know, he really took a car that was like very built, I think for cost efficiency at first when it came out. And he is taken it and turned it into a really, really proper raced.

So, uh, yeah, I think if I, if I had to get a track date card, it’d be an NPO one. So you mentioned that you’re driving the NPO one for a W R L team and you started out with a Mustang. So when you go to your local H HPD event, what are you tooling around in these days? . So usually when I go to H HPDs, I just instruct.

I do some coaching with like the NASA region locally here and, uh, nasa Great Lakes. I’ll go up and coach every once in a while. I’ll go home, see my buddies. I have a 1994 Miata with, uh, like 220,000 miles on it and should be honest, I’m kind of afraid of that thing. It’s kind of a rusty piece of junk. You know last time I took it out to v i r and I’m going through turn 10 and you know that car is so down on power now you can take turn 10 just about flat.

And I’m thinking, [00:04:00] what if something broke right now , you know, that would be absolutely catastrophic. So most of the time I just go there and coach cuz I love coaching. I worked at Extreme Experience for five years, you know, working right seat with hundreds and hundreds of people. and I just, I just loved sharing that experience with folks.

Is there anything on the street these days that gets your attention? . When I was a kid, I was such a muscle car fan. I loved muscle cars. You know, nowadays I drive a 2015 Camry, I’m very boring. If I had to have kind of a cool cruiser car, I love the 82 priority through eight gts, you know, the Magnum PI car.

You know, there’s just something about Target, top, old red Ferrari that. You know, it’s just cool. , speak in my language. Speak in my language. Alright, so how did that evolve into Max Track time? Yeah, so Max Track time started as a private testing operation for our team, where we would just rent tracks and do about six weekends or six, you know, two day tests every year.

[00:05:00] Me and a couple folks that I did Skippy with wound up racing the Seko N p o one. That’s a car that both needed development on the performance side for the car, but then also we wanted development for us as drivers, two cars and eight drivers between them. A track day just won’t cut it for getting that kind of practice and getting that development or you know, God forbid you need to try out a change on a car, be it arrow change setup, swaps, new components, what have.

And so we did a lot of private testing. You know, we really focused on getting convenient dates for our drivers, whether that be weekends or Thursday, Fridays or Monday, Tuesdays, cuz a lot of our guys work. You know, there’s only a couple of our people who are professional in the racing industry and had that kind of freedom to come and test during the week.

And so we tried to make it as convenient for everybody as. From there, we had a tested barber a couple years ago. We just extended the invite to a bunch of other teams that were racing with us to see if anybody else wanted to. And uh, sure enough, every single team we invited showed up. And so it [00:06:00] kind of started to just snowball there where we thought, okay, people see the value in coming out and testing and, and having this open track environment.

Yeah. So we thought, okay, why don’t we just standardize this and market it out to anybody who might be like us, who is interested in doing this kind of. We decided that, you know, okay, we’ve got something that people want to do. Let’s make it into a business. And so from there we made max track time. It’s not so much a track day company in the chin or like that sense.

It’s more of an alternative to private testing. We open up these two day events. They’re open track, open passing from green to checker for up to 25 cars to come out and just run. For those folks like us who really can’t make the track day format work, it’s a great alternative to having to go and rent a track and get your own insurance and do all of the kind of the legwork to, uh, get that all sorted.

So when did you guys establish Max track time? How long have you been doing this? At this point, max Track time’s only done two events. We had one at Thunder Hill and then we had one at Audubon Country Club, [00:07:00] and we’ve added in catering and beverage service and such because not every team has that arm where they have someone providing hospitality.

You know, at the events that we hosted before, some folks would end up disappearing during lunch to go run out to, you know, whatever Subway or whatever they could find. So we thought, okay, we can plus up this experience a little bit and. Our big rollout’s gonna be next year here, where we have 14 events.

We’ve got six two day events, and then we’ve got a bunch of Thursday test days before w r l events at the various tracks that they go to. So you guys are the newest, let’s call it track day organization on the scene. So that’s exciting because they don’t just pop up overnight anymore. I mean, I hate to say the market is pretty saturated.

There’s different organizations that have been around doing this for decades now and others that come and gone. So it’s cool to see something different and obviously Max Track time is doing just that. So when you run an event, kind of compare and contrast your experience with, let’s say other H P D organizations and how you’re running it.

Are [00:08:00] there flaggers? How does coming on and off the track work. , there are no run groups, so it’s just an open day. But you know, we’re all sort of used to the flag talk and all these kinds of things. So what’s the day like when it kicks off at a max track time event? What’s that driver’s meeting like? You know, generally it’s gonna be the rundown of the facility where things are gonna be, where our catered lunches are gonna be coordinated, how to get in and outta pit lane.

What the flags are, obviously, and where the flag positions are. You know, I like to include a lot of maps and graphics and stuff in my PowerPoints that I give so that people know where to look and what to look for. Trying to get people as acclimated to the facility and the on track attitude before they get out there.

I typically try to make the driver’s meeting restricted to things that people need to know and that they’ll actually want to know. and not so much all the ancillary stuff that might be focused on a, uh, a beginner because the track is open and there’s no run groups and things like that. You still gotta give the workers, the volunteers, the flaggers a break.

So do you guys cut up the day in any way, or is it, [00:09:00] we’re gonna run the morning session for four hours, they’ll be an hour break and then, you know, we’ll do an afternoon? Or how does it all lay? Yeah, you hit the nail on the head there. Yeah, we do the four hours with one hour lunch break and then another four hours there.

You know, a lot of teams when they test, they’re not gonna go all day long and so, you know, they’ll come on track, they’ll come off track and they’ll come on track again, you know, just as they’re working on stuff. So we actually open up our lunch 30 minutes before that breaking and 30 minutes after, so that way teams can kind of trickle in and feed themselves without having a whole bum rush on the lunch service there as.

It’s not uncommon for us also, being that this is effectively like a private test for us to have those rental car laps available to those people who wanna utilize those. These events are open to folks who should have a pretty good understanding of what they’re doing. So, you know, in many ways it’s a lot more lax than say like a a track day where you’ve got folks bringing their street cars out to come and run and do whatever.

Absolutely. And so with that, the on track etiquette, like you said, is like a race weekend, so [00:10:00] therefore it’s open passing. That’s the expectation. Absolutely. With the caveat that. You know, there’s 25 cars out on track and everyone’s got a different goal. Someone might be in there learning a track for the first time, might be a newer driver who you know is licensed but maybe not familiar with the track or getting more familiar with the car.

And then you’ve got someone else out there laying down quality labs, you know, but that’s where that 25 car limit comes in at the expense that people are paying to be at these, we generally trust that the prep shops are gonna prep their cars appropriate. And so we don’t have our whole internal tech team.

You know, we’ll do the visual inspection, right? You know, if someone’s running around on track who maybe shouldn’t be, then that would be an appropriate time for us to go and talk to them. But you know, we’re not going to go through your car and make sure that it’s prepped and ready to go full flaggers.

It’s gonna be like a race weekend. Effectively, as far as safety on track, gonna be a flagger in every corner. There’s gonna be a guy working pit lane releasing cars in and out. Overall, a lot of folks use these test days as opportunities to prep for race. . And so we wanna keep the pit lane open [00:11:00] so we’re not gonna hold people in pit lane.

You can enter and exit pits as you wish. You can fuel in pit lane, you can set up your crew in pit lane. Driver changes, whatever you gotta do as far as the rules and the structure. It’s a race weekend because God knows when testing, especially if you’re a team that’s gonna run an M S A or s r o or something like that.

You know, part of the value of testing is preparing your crew. You can’t much do a practice driver change if you’re doing it in the paddock. So are there any groups out there that are doing, let’s say exercises or other types of strategic maneuvers? They can coordinate that between themselves. They want to do that.

That’s all fine by me as long as they’re not going to impinge on anybody else’s ability to test. Because even though it’s like a race weekend, we’re not racing, you know, you don’t wanna be bombing people in the corners. That’s not what testing’s about. We expect our participants. to be courteous and work together and be mindful of each other on track and not try to force the issue.

So that’s kind of my big goal there is I’m walking the paddock, I’m talking to folks, how’s it going out there? Is there anything that you need me to know? Cause I’m not out on track with them. Right. If there’s an issue, [00:12:00] people generally tell me and then I can go and chat with the folks who need to be chatted with and we can get that cleared up.

But so far it really hasn’t been an. We stress that in the driver’s meeting that we need to be courteous and that we need to work together, and people are generally very aware of that, though we wouldn’t limit anyone from kind of practicing between their own two cars. We’re not going to see that in mass.

It’s very uncommon. Do you guys do any simulated starts? Sometimes that’s important for different groups to do either rolling or standing or any of those kinds of things. Do you set up for that? We have not seen that. I’m not aware of any organization that does. Set up, you know, I think that that might be something that’s appropriate for like a private test , if anybody wants to do that.

Mostly what we’re built for is, is folks who want to do driver development and want to, you know, work on set up at cars and such. Yeah, I could just envision teams. You mentioned SRO with maybe two cars or four cars and they’re all running, you know, nose to tail or doing some sort of exercises that they might wanna work on, you know, traffic management, things like that.

So I could see that [00:13:00] playing out with such an open amount of space on. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, they’re welcome to do it. Generally speaking, I think that what test days are used for our driver development. I have your gentleman drivers come out and try to find some pace, work on a little bit of setup.

Some teams will be working on running in certain components and whatnot as well. You know, again, at 25 cars, I think it’s generally pretty clean. You mentioned earlier, streetcar versus racecar is every car that’s coming to a max track time. Caged log booked, you know, maybe club racing level on up type of vehicle, or are there people bringing, let’s say a hypercar or supercar?

What does the field look like? So our insurance will actually not allow anything without a roll cage, racing seat and racing harness. That’s the bare minimum that our insurance allows out on track. We’d be open to time attack cars. I say at a minimum. Assuming that, you know, everyone’s vetted and the driver’s comfortable with open track, open passing, but typically speaking, the group that we attract is going to be race car drivers looking to do testing, and they’ll be coming from, say, the [00:14:00] P C A PORs Sprint Challenge, S R O M S A.

We have a partnership with W Ls. We are targeting that group very heavily and making sure that they are aware of our service and what we can provide. So you mentioned caged cars. Mm-hmm. , and you mentioned Trialers time attack, et cetera. So in a lot of trial organizations, the minimum that they follow for safety a lot of times are hill climb rules, which means halfback cages, not full cages.

So do you differentiate there, or as long as you have some sort of cage harness, Hans, what’s the minimum in terms of being. So our insurance will allow you to have a halfback cage. However, right now I’m restricting it to full cage. Just as we work out the format. If it ends up that we feel comfortable doing halfback cages in the future, then we will, but for now it’s full cage.

So Charlie, we’re talking about all the different cars, and I’m curious, you know, we talked about the limits of, you know, maybe bringing in a streetcar, a supercar, stuff like that. It’s gotta have a cage, all these kinds of things. But what about vintage cars and also, Open wheel. Do you guys [00:15:00] mix it up? I almost wish we could with the open wheel.

Cause I get so many emails from folks asking if we open up to Open Wheels and may, maybe that’s someone on the horizon, you know, maybe that’s, uh, maybe we’ll do some open wheel exclusive events. You know, I used to do some driving and pro Mazdas and such, and in those cars, the last thing I’d wanna be pulling up next to is a GT car.

Like that would be terror. You know, like, you know what happens? You know, lock wheels and brake and that car’s going upside down. That’s the last thing that I’d want at one of these events is to have an open wheel and a closed wheel car on the track at the same time. Have you thought about maybe carving out a session for open wheel guys and kind of splitting up the day a little bit?

I try to not divert from the format folks like the format that will keep it that way. I am very tempted in the future to try to carve out one or two open wheel events and just see how they do, because the demand is definitely there. Yeah. I think there’s a group down in Florida that actually does open testing events exclusively for open wheel guys, and it’s been pretty popular.

We have some open wheel guys here too, and they say all the time, they’re like, there’s never anywhere to go to practice. I gotta practice. When I’m [00:16:00] there for, you know, the regionals or the runoffs or whatever it is, and it’s too their disadvantage all the time that there’s nowhere to go. Yeah, totally. You pretty much have to have a, a private membership at a place if you wanna drive those things.

You know, like, uh, you know, Audubon Country Club, they have that open wheel group and it’s pretty much dominated by local, uh, you know, US F teams coming down to te just cuz you don’t have the opportunity. So what about the vintage? Are they able to run with the modern cars too? Is there any restrictions there?

Yeah, I’d, I’d love to have vintage guys come out. I’m a huge fan of vintage cars. I love going down, even just watching S V R A and uh, HSR cars run around. I think as long as they’re appropriate, you know, I’d love to have ’em out. You know, I’m not gonna have a, uh, like an old model team ripping around on track, but no, I’m thinking like e prepared triumphs and mgs and stuff like that, you know?

Yeah, totally. We’ll take ’em, especially if they, you know, we gotta, Test at v i r in, in, uh, may. Anybody wants to have some very early testing for the runoffs, they’re welcome to come on out and bring whatever they’ve got now with those e repair cars. They’re not full cage. Right. You’ve, you’ve seen ’em, so will that fit in for your [00:17:00] guys’ insurance?

Yeah. You know, cuz again, the insurance, it’s a half cage rule, but I think that, I guess my differentiation there would be that that is truly a race car. You know, you can race it wheel to wheel, it’s appropriate to do. Then I have no issue with that one coming out. A lot of cases for these teams, whether it’s club racers that are coming out, or s r O teams, or w L teams, et cetera, there’s a whole staff of folks between, you know, the trainers and the engineers and the crew and all this kind of stuff.

But somewhere in there, we’re here to learn and we’re here to test. We’re working with the car and all this kind of stuff. Does Max track time offer any pro coaching, or do you guys have people on staff that can jump in and work, especially with the AM ams, the new guys or the rookies, or any of those folks that are really trying to come up quickly?

I would love to offer that. I’ve actually explored that typically with the ems, A teams and the SRO teams, you hit the nail on the head. They usually have folks on their end who do that. And so I’m trying to not interfere too much with their programs. Most of these teams have [00:18:00] a, a trusted coach that they work with, and I think that sometimes it can be a little inappropriate to toss a coach in there who they don’t know and you know, kind of shove their way in.

So we try not to impose that on folks in our group. We do have some very qualified folks who do race in M S A and SRO and whatnot who could, if needed, but we’re not going to have that at the forefront of our offer. What our offering mostly focuses on is making sure that we can take care of the folks catering, a beverage service, coffee, what have you.

The stuff that most teams might not bring with them are events in the past, even though the teams kind of vary in scale, and the one thing that they all benefit from is having nice warm lunch. I’m sure there are a lot of people that are interested in finding out more about, how do I get involved in this?

I got a car that qualifies. I need some track time. I don’t wanna go to a de and I don’t wanna learn on the fly either. So it comes down to cost and how do you register and things like that. So let’s talk about some of those details. So what we do is we have two tiers of events. I think that this is one [00:19:00] of our differentiators with Max Track time versus some of the other open track organizations out there.

Typically, the format is find a pro race weekend, find a couple days just outside of the testing band window, book those, and then go, it’ll be a Wednesday, Thursday, what have you. Our focus is. A lot of folks who are going racing with these organizations, especially on, you know, like kind of am level of the pro am, the value in testing is gaining experience, getting miles in the car, and it matters less if you’re testing at the track that you’re gonna be racing at.

That’s incredibly valuable, no doubt. But I think that the most valuable test, these folks are the ones that they can. . So that’s why we’ve focused so hard on booking tracks like Ncm, C M P, Halle. You know, they’re not those huge premier pro tracks. They’re not Daytona, they’re not Coda, which we do host events at as well, but for the two-day events at these tracks, they’re on weekends.

So for folks who are racing in these ProAm series, who a lot of the times they’re business owners, they’re having a great opportunity cost by having to take [00:20:00] four days off to fly to the track, do two days on a Wednesday, Thursday, and then fly home on Friday. We’ve eliminated that conflict. Our NCM event, for example, or our NOLA event at the beginning of the year next year is are both on Saturday Sunday allowing for those people who are not full-time drivers to come out and practice in the case of like Ncm Hall at cmp.

Sure, it might not be the track that they’re going to be racing at, but you’re getting miles in the car. You’re getting exposure to corners in a low pressure environment where you’re unlikely to come across, you know, an LMP two car that’s gonna be sharing the track with. So, you know, registration, we work through motorsports.

Reg folks can just go to our website, click on the events tab, and then find the event they wanna attend, and then go through that, click on that, and then, uh, it’ll take you to the motorsport reg pays, and they can click that all out there. Being that this is a semi-private testing event, 25 cars limited for 16 hours of track time, the pricing does follow that.

The larger premier tracks that are more expensive to rent and have more expensive services, it’ll be somewhere around that $4,500 ballpark for. More regional tracks that we [00:21:00] attend that will be priced lower, 2,500 bucks, you know, and so that’s our, our goal, having this offering at the pro tracks, close to the pro weekends and then the regional tracks further off of a pro weekend, is to allow folks who want to test to be able to have that access, you know, without being limited to one type of option.

So for the more price sensitive folks, the more club focused folks, we have those more regional tracks at a more regional offering. For the more pro-series focused folks, we have the big pro tracks get closer to the pro events. Do you guys have a track that you call home somewhere that’s the closest that you see yourself doing the most events at?

You know, we’re a w L team. We run the two stratus racing n P one s in w l. So we really like going to those. The schedule that we will follow will be the one that most closely follows w l Schedule. What about for you? What’s home? So, I grew up in Chicago, you know, saw Audubon Country Club, Rhode America were my two home tracks.

Rhode America was actually the track. I did my first ever track day at . Little intense for, uh, someone doing their first track day. I [00:22:00] remember I took my Mustang out. It was a MVP track time event. And you know, they do a lead follow. and I pull back in at the end of my session and my friend’s like, how fast do you go?

I said, I went 80 miles an hour and I was so hyped and thought that was amazing. , you know, looking back at it, that’s , you know, that’s nothing now. Right? Yeah. That’s your mid speed some places . Exactly. You know, now I live down in Raleigh, North Carolina, so I’m about an hour and a half from B I r I. Uh, I try to get up there as much as I can.

It’s a, it’s a great track, great facility. And CMPs not too far. It’s not, you know, I, I haven’t been able to go there as much as I like our last. That we had scheduled at C M P. I was getting my bags into my car to go and then I got a call from our team owner that the lift gate on the semi broke. And so we couldn’t get any of the cars down there

And so, you know, we paid for the track, but we didn’t go to it. You know, I am excited to go back next year at the end of March. I think that’s gonna be a great event. You said there really isn’t a. Tech session per se. You’re kind of just visually looking over the card to make sure a lot of the folks that are coming are more professional teams, things like that.

Is [00:23:00] there a form or anything that has to be filled out ahead of time or any sort of paperwork, medical documentation, anything that needs to be submitted to you guys before showing up for the event with the cars? These teams know more about the cars than I do. You know, they’re professional teams. They’ve been doing this for their career.

I think that it’s just fine for them to bring ’em out. If I see something that looks amiss, you know, while I’m kind of wandering the paddock and chatting with folks, that’s when the issue will be raised. But overall, these are professional teams coming out and testing their cars. I trust them to prep their cars appropriately.

And then the drivers, they’re all. Race license drivers, so they have their appropriate medicals in order to have those licenses. So what other services does Max track time offer that people might not be aware of? What are some of the changes that are coming for the next few seasons? What’s the future look like for Max Track time?

The thing that I’m really excited about is this partnership that we’ve announced with w l. So what we will be doing next year is hosting Thursday test days ahead of every available weekend that they have. So believe that that’s confirmed at eight weekends. So we have a full open. The w L ones are limited to 30 [00:24:00] cars just because there is that big of a demand amongst that group.

And a lot of these tracks are, are big enough that 30 cars is still appropriate to get a good lap in. And we’ll be offering that same format with that same catered lunches that we provide for the w l teams that want to attend. So as w l grows and it gets massive, these weekends have kind of turned into four day weekends where individual teams would rent the Thursdays ahead of time and then they’d call up their buddies and then share the track with a few folks.

And we thought that it would be good if. Took the onus off the teams of having to rent the track, but also make sure that it’s opened up to the entire w l paddock and everybody who wants to participate. And so I think that that is gonna be a really promising opportunity for a lot of these teams to get more seat time and prepare for the weekend as they need to, especially with their rental drivers who might be seeing the track for the first time and could really benefit for an extra day.

We’ve come to that part of the episode where I always like to ask any shout outs, promotions, or anything else you’d like to mention that we haven’t covered thus far? Sure. You know, uh, I’d love to shout out to Sebe. You know, they build an awesome car. We’ve had a lot of fun racing it for the past couple [00:25:00] years, and, you know, as the W L G T U class rose, I think that the competition we have is, uh, incredible.

You know, I can’t wait to see what happens next. So I’d love to do a shout out here for W R L. Their offering is absolutely incredible. I think that coming from Skippy, you know, after Skippy ended up closing down a few years ago, it was tough to find a place that had those same values and brought that same value and experience to racers.

And I think that w l has done an amazing job at creating a professional level atmosphere for racers who are either on the pro end and coming in or, or coming. Into racing for the first time. Max track time understands that many drivers have obligations outside of racing, and they have worked diligently to obtain dates on or near weekends.

That way participants with careers outside of racing are able to attend and maximize their experience without having to compromise. So if you’re interested in attending a max track time event, you can get more details by visiting them at www.maxtracktime.com or [00:26:00] follow them on social. Max track time on Instagram and Facebook.

Well, Charlie, I can’t thank you enough for coming on Break Fix and telling us all about Max Track time. I’m actually really excited about this. I’m sure a lot of our listeners are too. This is a haven for those of us that need to shake down our cars, test our cars. Get away from massive amounts of traffic at your standard H P D E or Club race type weekend and really get in tune with our vehicles and tune up our vehicles at the same time.

So I really appreciate you providing this service to the Motorsports community at large. This is really amazing and I wish you guys the best of success in 23 and beyond. Thank you very much, Eric. I appreciate you guys having me on. It’s been an awesome experience. No worries. Thank you. Thank you so much.

It’s been a pleasure. Take care.
