What’s this new thing called Inside the SCCA… well it’s the latest offering from the RacingWire Podcast Network… It’s a weekly podcast about all things SCCA. We’re going to cover everything from Driver Profiles, Legends of the Club, Tech Tips, Exploring each class, and product reviews.
We’ll have episodes on all the club’s programs from Road Racing to Solo, Track Days, Road Rally, Rally Cross, Track Night in America and Time Trials. Over time we’ll talk about all the Volunteer Specialties and we’ll do that often… volunteers are the backbone of everything the SCCA does. We’ll also help people who are trying to figure out how to get started.
We’ll also talk about and promote events. If your region has an event you would like us to talk about -- send us some info at least a month in advance and I’ll make mention of it on the show. Send me an email to raceannouncerbrian at gmail.com
A little about your host. Brian Bielanski has been a member off and on but mostly on since 1986. He started as has dad’s “crew chief” when all he knew how to do was change tires, check air pressures and fill the gas tank. From there he's built cars from the ground up, raced some of those cars, worked as a flagger, starter, tech inspector, and he did a stint as the Flag Chief for the New York region. Now, he spends most of his time as a race announcer and content creator. Being a TV news producer by trade -- has taken him all over the country -- that’s given him the chance to be a member of a bunch of regions… Chicago, Milwaukee, Land 0’ Lakes, Atlanta, New Jersey, New York, D-C and now Cal Club. He's also raced or flagged at tracks in all those areas. But most importantly -- some of his best friends… people he consider family… have come from this club.
Inside the SCCA is NOT sponsored by the club. We feel it’s important to have an independent voice. It will allow us to have the tough conversations… but we want to be clear… this is not going to be a podcast where we are going to bash the club. We love this organization. It has its problems and we are the first to point them out. But all of those discussions on this podcast will be with one thing in mind… making the club better and attractive to both the old guard and people just starting out.
New episodes will drop every Friday… that will give everyone something to listen to on their way to the track for race weekends.
That’s Inside the SCCA --- today -- we say today because any podcast with a long history will evolve over time -- and we plan to be doing this for many years to come.
