Inside the SCCA with Runoffs champion Steve Whitston
On episode 217 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we talk about this weekend’s NOLA Super Tour with Runoffs champion Steve Whitston. Steve shares his story about how he went from his first time in a race car to national champion in four years (maybe it’s in the genes). He breaks down going back and forth from a Formula Vee to an FE2 car on the same weekend. We also get Steve’s take on the recent changes in SCCA national classing and how it’s affected the FV class.We also hear how Steve deals with sibling rivalry on the track. It’s a great conversation that made me take a look at some things from a little different viewpoint.
