Stephen Vonick joins Off The Racing Line in EP35 for a fun, HPDE-focused episode about track days, driver development, and the reality of trying to get faster without destroying the car in the process. We talk about how Stephen got into HPDE, the importance of having a supportive spouse when this hobby starts taking over weekends, garages, tires, brakes, and bank accounts, and why track days are one of the best gateways into grassroots motorsports. We also get into Time Trials, the discipline required to improve as a driver, and the tricky balance between pushing hard enough to learn while still saving the car, saving the tires, and making it through the weekend. And for the first time on Off The Racing Line, we introduce Paddock Feud… our motorsports version of Family Feud. Stephen and Mike go head-to-head naming the six worst hazards you can encounter on track. The points are fake, the board is questionable, and the ego damage is real. If you love HPDE, track days, Time Trials, grassroots racing, and real paddock conversations, this one is for you.
