Inside the SCCA, with Cameron Parsons
On episode 216 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we take a look at what it takes to make driving race cars a career. Cameron Parsons is my guest and we talk about the ups and downs of being a professional race car driver. It sounds romantic but there are remarkably few people who make their living exclusively behind the wheel. Most have side hustles, coach other drivers and find other ways to make ends meet. Cameron has managed to keep himself behind the wheel, run his own teams, and work in the industry that keeps him in contact with people that can write checks.
