Thanks, Graham. It was fun doing it.
What was nice - at least looking back at it - is that the interview was intended for a general audience, rather than an auto enthusiast or racing audience. Talking on the Racing Roundup show last year, there was an expectation of a basic knowledge of the event on the part of the audience. Same thing at the New England MG T Register talk two years ago.
But I wasn't preaching to the converted this time. Mitch Teich knows his audience, and he took me in a direction I really hadn't made any mental preparation for. It kind of took me off guard at first. When it comes to LSR, I'm used to talking about the engine specs and the build - but I'm not really used to talking about myself or my motivations "out of class".
I get myopic, and I didn't realize there was actually a human interest story there. Mitch patched that together.
And I'm going to give Mitch huge props in the editing of the interview. There was easily 10 minutes of miscues and off topic ramblings that were judiciously left on the cutting room floor.
In the end, I'm glad it came across well.
They recently parsed out my section of the hour-long program, so here's a direct link to the interview -
