Olympus Rally 2026

Here is my collection of interviews and tidbits from my trip to Olympus for the ARA National event back in April.  Going to start off with the main reason I was there and that was to hang out with and observe the crew of Screech Owl Garage.  I was invited by Screech Owl founder Daniel Quarto to come out to Olympus back in March. Daniel offered to cover my room and board for the weekend. Little did I know it would involve some fantastic food and being woken up in the middle of the night by some very tired, sleep deprived mechanics.  Screech Owl helped maintain the vehicles of four different rally teams throughout the weekend. I was impressed as to how Daniel handles his crew. He has a background in youth leadership and martial arts. Those experiences lend themselves in keeping a great chemistry going, especially through such a long, tiring weekend at a rally.  The crew comes from many backgrounds as you will hear in the interviews and despite the stress of maintaining four different cars, they all worked together very well. As a result, the teams they support, feel more at ease and feel more confident with their cars.  Screech Owl Garage is more than just a crew but a family. Perhaps the best story to come out of my experience was the fact that the crew swapped the engine out of Josh Gierman and Gavin Bowen’s 2000 Subaru Impreza in the middle of Saturday night with an engine that came from about 2 hours away. Josh and Gavin then went on through Sunday’s stages to bring home 8thoverall and a podium finish in the regional 4WD class.   Screech Owl’s story deserves so much more than just a bunch of sound bites edited together. Their story is truly amazing. Hope to have several of the teams they supported as well as Daniel himself on the podcast soon and work on an article about the crew as well.  I not only want to thank Daniel and the Screech Owl Garage family for their support, I also want to thank Mitch Meadows of MeLe Design Firm and MeLe Media, Gregory Wilcox, Lorne of Frozen Motion Pictures, and all the other wonderful people that helped support my trip to this year’s Olympus Rally.

David Weiman

My guest this week is David Weiman.  David started rallying during the mid-1960s, quickly developing his skills and passion for the sport. In 1970, he achieved a significant milestone by winning a national Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally. During the interview, David discusses the history and significance of the "Press on Regardless" rally event. He shares insights into the early years of stage rallying, describing the challenges and excitement of the sport during its formative period. David recounts his experiences competing against notable rally figures such as John Buffum and Tom Grimshaw, among others.  David also delves into his involvement with the Space Shuttle Program, providing an opportunity for a deep dive into his technical and scientific interests.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
