You will learn that he doesn't use data and much more about his magical year. www.AutorcrossTalk.com The post Mike Leeder is your 2019 D Street Autocross national champion [http://autocrosstalk.com/2021/09/19/mike-leeder-is-your-2019-d-street-autocross-national-champion/] first appeared on Autocross Talk Podcast with Kinch Reindl [http://autocrosstalk.com].

Alex Piehl is on Autocross Talk. He did it right for his 10 year anniversary with the SCCA H Street Pro Solo class championship, STH SCCA SOLO National Championship as well as a Triad award. In a normal year he makes 50 to 60 autocross events a year. He brings 6 Sigma thoughts to autocross. For example, he thinks about waste and likes to measure and analyze. He will often walk a course backwards. I really like his comment "Use an excuse to improve". For Nerves - or rather to get rid of them he focuses on what he has to do. I phrased this as "Focus on the plan". He has thoughts about how playing in a touring band relates to autocross. He suggests driving in the wet on the wrong tires and loved the Evo Challenge School. He recommends Vivek's course Beyond Seat Time Listen for these comments as well as other autocross tips and suggestions to improve your autocross racing. His question is would your rather do a dual course ProSolo where one side is 35 seconds long but the other is 15 seconds (Possible Peru ProSolo for 2020) or 3 stale Chicken Nuggets from your favorite fast food restaurant? He created Pittsburgh Autocross to list all the autocross events happening in and around the area (there are a lot and he needed to know where they all were so as he could make 50+ of them each year 🙂 [https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f642.png] The post Alex Piehl won the STH National Championship and HStreet ProSolo Championship [http://autocrosstalk.com/2020/05/31/alex-piehl-won-the-sth-national-championship-and-hstreet-prosolo-championship/] first appeared on Autocross Talk Podcast with Kinch Reindl [http://autocrosstalk.com].

David Marcus has is the first Solo Nationals champion to win in an all electric car. David shares his autocross tips and thoughts on this podcast. He won both the BStreet Solo Nationals and Pro Solo class in a Tesla Model 3. He also won the STX SCCA Solo National championship in STX. He started his auto addiction with a Richard Petty Driving Day. Then he tried autocross and track days before dedicateing himself to autocross. He explains how codriving with Darrin DiSimo helped to learn to get on the gas sooner by looking at Data and Video. Fingers crossed that we will be driving his nationals course in 2020. He talks about how he sees slaloms as muscle memory, exits are the most important thing to setup for, you can't fix going to fast into an element and position is more important than speed. He also talks about the metal game of calming down. A point I've not thought of much is how he looks for places where he under drove. He mentions Vivek Goel's course being helpful as well as Andy Hollis's top ten tips to autocross. He also watched videos of everyone who beat him. And his question to the audience is what is your favorite element? Thanks for the emails and comments!
