Driven to Compete | Meet Scotty B White and Ed Zabinski

On episode 29 of Driven to Compete Carey sat down with Scotty B White and Ed Zabinski. Who needs enemies when you have friends like this? These guys were so much fun to talk to. They have a very long history of racing against each other as their friendship developed over the years. Both are very accomplished racers. Scotty B currently races and supports other racers in the SCCA, and Ed races but spends a lot of his time coaching other drivers. If only I had more time to talk to the guys. Very good stuff.

Driven to Compete | Meet Tina Leone - BMW driver BMW CCA

Driven to Compete | Meet Tina Leone - BMW driver BMW CCA

In Episode 6 of Driven to Compete Carey sat down with Tina Leone. Tina is fairly new to racing but she's done a ton of High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) and track days to improve her driving skills. And when I say she's done a ton, I mean it. It's amazing to hear how she's really dug into this. Something else to note about Tina, she's 51 just like me, and didn't start racing with the BMW CCA until just recently. So keep that in mind the next time you think you're too old. You're not and you'll agree once you hear Tina's story.
