Episode 35: The Rally That Broke Almost Everything

What happens when 35 cars tackle seven high-alpine passes? Eventually, things start breaking. Paul Kramer checks in from the Two Lane Tours Outrun the Sun rally with special guest Lane Skelton, while Casey Parkin and Dave Van Epps join the conversation for a full recap of the chaos. Lane’s Porsche 911 Carrera gets sidelined with a fuel-pump failure. A C5 Corvette develops brake problems. A vintage Porsche gets hit by a deer. Another car needs its suspension welded back together. Multiple cars suffer mechanical problems along the way. And somehow, Paul’s high-mileage Porsche 928 keeps going. Dave also recaps Targa Carolina and talks about getting back into rally driving after his GT3 RS accident, while Casey gets a taste of what’s coming when he finally heads out on his own rally. Then the guys dig into rally preparation, the modifications you should never make immediately before an event, dream international rallies, driving in Japan, radio setups, repainting collectible Porsches, the economics of classic-car restorations, and the Porsche 915 vs. G50 transmission debate. Featuring Lane Skelton of Lane Skelton Designs, Driving While Awesome, and Radwood.
