  • What Amateurs Get Wrong

    What Amateurs Get Wrong
    Feb 19 2026
    Welcome to Everyone Racers episode 424, because grassroots racing is built on bad ideas, education about cheap tools, and learning the hard way. Endurance racing at the highest level is all carbon fiber, hybrid powertrains, and factory budgets……and then there’s the rest of us.In this Alpine 424 episode, the crew kicks things off breaking down the new Alpine A424 hypercar—a purpose-built Le Mans prototype with cutting-edge aero, hybrid power, and real factory support—before immediately spiraling into what that means for the rest of us racing on duct tape budgets and questionable decisions.This episode dives into the gap between pro-level endurance racing and grassroots reality, and what amateur racers can actually learn (and what we absolutely cannot afford to copy). From paddock problem-solving and race prep decisions, to the stuff that breaks, the stuff that shouldn’t break but does anyway, and the stuff we absolutely should not have attempted ourselves… it’s all here.Kangaroos might be worse than Deer at the TrackWhat amateur racers can actually learn from pro teamsWhy grassroots racers constantly try to “engineer their way out of problems”Race weekend prep, last-minute fixes, and paddock chaosHonest conversations about reliability, budgets, and the real cost of “doing it right”Or you could skip the hassle and buy a sweet C3 vintage Race Corvette from Racing Junk!

  • Learning Welding as a Weekend Racer

    Learning Welding as a Weekend Racer
    Feb 10 2026
    Weldcome (see what we did there?) to Everyone Racers episode 423, hot like welding! Tim is planning to burn himself Chris prefers a tight puddle, Sloppy puddles need not apply. Chrissy yells at a cat, again. Same cat. The cat doesn’t care, because…well, it’s a cat. Amateur racing isn’t glamorous — and that’s exactly why this episode hits so hard.In this Everyone Racers Moskvich-423 Episode, the gang spirals from “should we buy a cheap welder?” into a brutally honest conversation about learning fabrication the hard way, blowing budgets in the garage, and why grassroots racers keep doing things the most difficult (and funniest) way possible.This episode covers what it’s really like to be an amateur racer trying to level up your skills without lighting your project — or your wallet — on fire. From debating entry-level vs. “probably good enough” welders, to the realities of teaching yourself fabrication in a cramped garage, to why racing forums both save and destroy projects, this one is painfully relatable if you’ve ever said “I can probably do that myself.”You’ll hear:The real cost of getting into welding and fabrication for racingWhy cheap tools sometimes work… until they absolutely don’tThe difference between good enough for the track and dangerous optimismLessons learned from broken parts, bad advice, and late-night garage decisionsNot t mention our racing news tangents, questionable logic, and the kind of bench-racing comedy that only happens when friends have known each other too longIf you’re an amateur race car driver, weekend track rat, mechanic, Lemons/ChampCar/HPDE addict, or automotive enthusiast who laughs at mistakes because you’ve made the same ones — this episode is for you.New episodes every week.Subscribe if you like real racing talk, real failures, and real laughs — not influencer fantasy builds.👇 Drop a comment with your worst garage mistake.
