Everyone Racers

Before You Race HPR.
Welcome back to Everyone Racers — the podcast where amateur endurance racers pretend they’re professionals while zip-tying garbage back together in the paddock and surviving entirely on race fuel fumes, bad decisions, and gas station burritos.

From race-weekend logistics and paddock strategy to weather, camping, fuel planning, and track-specific survival tips, we cover the details that can make the difference between standing on the podium and loading a broken car onto the trailer.
Most importantly, we deliver our signature in-depth High Plains Raceway Virtual Track Walk.

Panda Planner, Your New WeaponWelcome back to Everyone Racers — the podcast where amateur endurance racers pretend they’re professionals while zip-tying garbage back together in the paddock and surviving entirely on race fuel fumes, bad decisions, and gas station burritos.In this artist-owned, ultra-rare Duesenberg Episode; Mental recommends some butt paste, Tim gets in cold water up to the nipples, Chrissy is just told to go faster with no meaningful data, Chris reminds us to check under our door panels for meth, and Jason sends in car messages to his race team in Russian.Really, this week gets surprisingly serious. Veteran racer Jason Seibert joins the show to talk about Panda-Planner.com, a race strategy and telemetry platform built specifically for grassroots endurance racing teams. This thing kind of blew our minds.Jason also explains how Panda Planner grew from a personal side project into software serious enough that NASCAR teams and engineers started paying attention to it. Yet somehow it still costs less than your team spends on terrible beer Friday night in the paddock.If you’ve ever sat on pit wall staring at Race Monitor trying to figure out:how much fuel you’re burningwhether the guy ahead still needs another pit stopif your driver is actually helpingwhat lap times you REALLY need to runor whether you should pit under yellow……that’s exactly what Panda Planner was built to do.Not theoretical. Not “future feature” nonsense.Jason built this after years of manually calculating race strategy during endurance races while trying to keep junk cars alive long enough to accidentally win things.…there’s a VERY good chance this episode will change how you think about endurance racing strategy.Or at minimum, convince you not to trust a $20,000 BMW engine rebuild.👇 COMMENT BELOW:What’s the dumbest race strategy mistake your team has ever made?And seriously:Would your team actually use live race strategy software during an endurance race?If you enjoy the show:Get Panda Planner!

Road America Hangover

Welcome back to Everyone Racers — where low-dollar racing meets high chaos. On this episode, Chrissy shows up super late and gets called out. Chris changes his voice to imitate Tim, Mental fills all the holes in his neighborhood, Tim plans to heckle at Laguna Seca and Brian makes amazing poses while gigablastingReally, we all know the hangover is real after an absolutely wild weekend at Road America for the latest 24 Hours of Lemons race — and this episode has ALL the behind-the-scenes stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
Judge Brian “B-Train” Trainer joins Chris, Tim, Mental, and eventually Chrissy for a hilarious post-race breakdown of one of the strangest, funniest, and somehow “boring” weekends in Lemons history. The drivers were surprisingly clean, the racing up front was incredibly tight, but the legendary Wisconsin track still managed to attrit nearly a THIRD of the field, with around 30 of 90 cars falling victim to mechanical failure, chaos, and questionable engineering decisions.
We cover:The overall winners and class winnersThe insanely close battles in Classes A, B, and CThe twin-engine Saturn madness from QuincyA rookie Studebaker team casually winning Index of EffluencyThe heroic fixes, heartbreaking failures, and “I Got Screwed” momentsWhy a Pontiac Sunfire somehow became a regional iconThe Bob Ross-themed team that fully committed to the bitThe terrifying moment a Mazda RX-7 lost its rear window at speedHow one rookie Camaro team earned redemption after nearly collecting every black flag possibleThe secret “Skeeter the Scrapper Guy” economy operating inside the paddockAnd why the BMW 435 is the perfect mascot for a competent but deeply boring episodeThis is the side of amateur endurance racing that doesn’t show up in official results sheets: the paddock stories, the terrible ideas, the heroic improvisation, the friendships, the late-night fixes, and the absolute nonsense that makes grassroots motorsports addictive.
