Over the years I've become a real good spectator. But what appealed to me about racing from day one is the same stuff that appeals to me now. It's the whole visceral approach to racing. It's the image of the cars, both on the pace lap as they come around the grandstand, as well as flat out racing. And it was also that voice from above, the announcer, the guy who was telling me what was happening on the track, but probably equally as importantly, what was happening off the track, the fellow who was weaving this whole storyline for the balance of the day or the evening, whatever the case may be.
We have with us tonight... Joe Morata, the voice of Syracuse for 44 years at Super Dirt Week. Roy Sova, with over 50 years at Oswego Speedway. Gary Montgomery, who for several years was one of the voices, on the Motor Racing Network. Mike Paz, who announced nine different NASCAR tracks over the years. Frank Del Vecchio, our racer turned announce, and last but certainly not least, Greg Rickes, the voice of Lime Rock.
We don't have six good announcers up here… We have six great announcers up here!

The chance gift of a small magazine archive to the Society of Automotive Historians (SAH) led Jon Summers to research midget and sprint car racing during the immediate postwar period around his adopted home of the San Francisco Bay Area. This grassroots history charts the rise of great names in racing, such as Kurtis and Vukovich, yet was over in under a decade. Less than a century later no trace of the tracks remain. Summers’ presentation offers a glimpse into this already-lost world.

Blind Logic - The Ralph R. Teetor Story
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Born in Hagerstown, Indiana, in 1890, Ralph Teetor had normal vision until one day, his hand slipped while working with a knife. The blade penetrated his eye and within a year, he was completely blind. However, Teetor never let his condition define him. He quickly developed a highly refined sense of touch; a trait that would benefit him greatly throughout his career.
In 1945, automotive engineer Ralph Teetor was responsible for creating the technology we now know as Cruise Control – one of the first steps towards autonomous vehicles. He accomplished this and many other innovations without the benefit of sight. And his great nephew Jack Teetor, joining us tonight on Break/Fix, has taken on the task of retelling his lesser known story.

Tuesday Apr 09, 2024
Tuesday Apr 09, 2024
Our guest is an independent Automotive Historian, loves cars, bikes and all things motoring. He’s a blogger, presenter, podcaster, and doubles as a teaching assistant and guest lecturer at Stanford University. Jonathan Summers is a lifelong car and motorcycle enthusiast.
He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep in the 90s, and later a fairly inept sports bike rider. Jon lives in California and collects cars and bikes with plenty of Cheap and Fast, and not much Reliable. He loves to talk about new cars, old cars, motorbikes, motor racing, driving and motoring travel.
His most recent works have focused on alternate histories in motor racing, delving into not just what happened, but how those stories were preserved, by whom and why. And he’s here to share his Road to Success and a little bit of knowledge with YOU on this episode of Break/Fix.

Flying Tiger Motorcycles
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Taking your late model bike or scooter to the dealership for repair can be costly. And some dealers are not equipped for models that are no longer on the showroom floor. Specializing in vintage Honda, Kawasaki, Triumph, BSA, and Norton platforms, St. Louis based Flying Tiger Motorcycles excels in servicing all major make and model motorcycles and scooters, regardless of model year.
But do you remember the old nursery rhyme about the “Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick maker?” - well… Adam Reed & Ryan Harrison from Flying Tiger are here to tell us all about Motorcycles, but also how they’ve created some unique products partnering with names like MOTUL.

An overview of Motorsports Podcasts focused on Women (Mike Stocz)
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Modern technologies have expanded our ability to share a wide variety of interests. Motorsport, primarily focusing on women in motorsport, has found social media as a medium to help grow actual participation numbers. Expanding on this theory, while also taking into consideration a later discussion on modern archival methods, this presentation will overview how podcasts surrounding women in motorsport are self-presenting to the public at large. In particular, a thematic analysis of women in motorsport show descriptions, and episode descriptions, will be explored, with themes and expanded research discussed.
Mike Stocz is the assistant director for the department of kinesiology, and a senior lecturer of sport management & eadership, at the University of New Hampshire. He is one of the founding members and editor in chief of the Journal of Motorsport Culture & History. Mike’s recent works have included a co-authored book chapter about the future of Formula 1, as well as works surrounding big game hunting legislation on land preserves, an economic funding model for college athletics, and critiques on K-12 coaching certifications surrounding sexual assault.
