There are so many men and women that we have lost over the years: Aryton Senna, Dale Earnhardt, Jim Clark, Peter Brock, John Lingenfelter … the list continues. Many other Motorsports organizations have written and will continue to write about those heroes everyday. But on this episode of Break/Fix we are choosing to explore the life of someone lesser known for his Motorsports accomplishments and more for his acting and the tragic story surrounding his death. Today we take a moment to remember the race car driver and actor: James Dean; and with us to unpack his story… is the world’s foremost expert on all things related to James Dean, Mr. Lee Raskin.

On this episode of Break/Fix we’re going to chat about a discipline of Motorsports where outsiders often ask “what in the world is going on over there!?” ... you know the one. That form of racing many of us started with, where you attempt to navigate your car through a defined course made up of orange traffic cones on a large parking lot... composed of tight, technical layouts, these races put handling and driver ability above engine output and outright top speed.
If you haven’t guessed by now... We’re going to be exploring the world of Autocross (aka Solo) with Tom Hill & Todd Lilly, both are seasoned SCCA autocrossers here to help us really understand, What is AutoCross?
