International karting league - to give more kids access to competitive karting and thus, racing- is one deserving of our attention and support. Relaxed, smart, and intentional.

Zack raced some old, loud things at the 24 Hours of Lemons Buttonwillow and tells us about what went right and wrong. Matt is at PCOTY and has spent a lot of time driving some of the best high-performance metal on offer, where he has some new thoughts on the Mustang GTD vs GT3 debate, and is confused by the Audi RS3. Note: We didn't have enough time for Patron questions so we'll hit those when we return to studio shows next week.
