Inside the SCCA | It's a Family Affair with Ricky Simpson
Listen now
Description
On episode 173 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with Formula F driver Ricky Simpson. I first met Ricky at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. It was late on a Saturday night, and they were working to fix an electrical gremlin. It was Ricky, his uncle and about a dozen super friendly family members. We chatted for a bit, they offered me a Diet DP and as I was leaving, I asked how's the car -- they said they thought it was good to go and I wandered off. The next day -- Ricky won the race... and he's been running up friend regularly ever since. Tonight, we'll talk about FF, racing with family and more. One last thought -- you don't need to bribe me with a Diet DP to get on the show, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
