GHiT 0635:  PittRace:  GridLife Review and Lucky Dog Preview Racing schedule for 2024 ends this year with the national championship with GridLife and then the first Lucky Dog race in the northeast.  Nick Barbato was/will be with us at both, so we cover a post GridLife and a pre Lucky Dog.  Two of our favorite racing series and a time for us to test and dial in the E46 330.  PS Bill at the track with no mechanical support from the team.  What could go wrong?  Well, the team officially apologizes to everyone at GridLife and those we talked to remotely trying to troubleshoot a (very simple) issue. What did we learn:  When you have tried everything that is complicated, perhaps you should look at the simple things.  Soooooooooo dumb sometimes, but always in training.  We do appreciate the help of Dewie, Scott and Becky, Isaac, Jason, and everyone else Bill pestered in the paddock.  Repeatedly.
