Episode Summary

Mary Pozzi shares stories and wisdom from 40+ years racing and winning autocross. From borrowing her boyfriend’s car without telling him she was racing to winning 11.5 (Mary will explain) National Titles, Mary has established herself as one of the best autocross drivers in the nation. And it all started in a Mercury Capri. We also talk meeting Kazunori Yamauchi and getting a car into Gran Turismo, what it takes to fund and homebuild your own autocross racecar, how to get into autocross racing, and more on Season 2 Episode 2 of What Moves You, a Speedway Motors Podcast.
