What’s set to make this year’s Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack even more memorable? Special Guest Randy Pobst, pro driver and automotive high performance expert.
Pobst, who writes columns here at Grassroots Motorsports, has quite the racing résumé. Four World Challenge championships. More than 90 pro victories. Two Rolex 24 At Daytona class wins. However, his roots …
I heard a rumor Randy was going to be one of the pro drivers on offer, too.
And also tell stories about autocrossing Fiats and Rabbits.
I would love to get a MonZora driving impression from him, but I'm not bringing her this year. 😢
Well Now I want to throw the Motor back in the LMP360 and bring it instead of the ManX-5..
Oh, hell yes. I could listen to the man tell a story about a lawnmower.
I've told this story before, but I met Randy a few times at various endurance races.
At Sebring one year he was driving with a team that brought a 90s mustang. It had issues in practice and as I was walking by, the team was out and about except for 1 person. Randy. Randy was alone happily wrenching on that mustang that he was just there to drive.
We asked if he needed help and instead, we stood around and talked about everything and anything for about an hour.
He really is a down to earth person and I agree that he tells stories very well!
Don't make me tell my Randy story again...
Id like to know the story of on that VW Fox... I bought one in 1990, my first new car.

i bet you cant!
Please dont.

Hmm I wasn't planning on getting down this year (tax season is difficult for me to shake free during) but getting his feedback on the Ford Econobox, which will likely be a top ten POS that he's ever gotten behind the wheel of, is incredibly tempting.
