What drives a 14-year-old girl to spend scorching summer days at racetracks instead of swimming pools? For Chloe Mazzagatti, racing isn't just a hobby—it's in her blood.
From her pink #87 Supra late model to her remarkable story of determination, Chloe represents the changing face of motorsports. Traveling from New Franklin, Ohio to compete in the prestigious Kalamazoo Clash, this young racer shares her journey from Bandolero cars to late models in just five years. Her accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary—track championships at multiple speedways, a dramatic seven-barrel roll crash she walked away from, and winning her second-ever late model race against seasoned competitors.
Behind Chloe's success lies a supportive racing family. Her father races late models (often competing against her), while her 10-year-old brother Michael races Bandoleros and Legend cars. This motorsports-centered lifestyle necessitated homeschooling, allowing Chloe to balance education with her demanding race schedule. Rather than maintaining friendships with school peers who don't understand her passion, she's built connections with fellow racers across North America, staying connected through racing simulators and social media.
What makes Chloe's story particularly compelling is her natural talent combined with unwavering dedication. Qualifying P1 in her first late model race and finishing P2 after starting last shows her exceptional skill behind the wheel. Now facing new challenges at the faster, high-momentum Kalamazoo Speedway, she demonstrates the importance of pushing boundaries and gaining diverse track experience.
Racing has given this teenager purpose, community, and direction. As she sets her sights on Pro Late Models, CRA events, and potentially ARCA and NASCAR opportunities, Chloe embodies the future of women in motorsports—breaking barriers one lap at a time, with her Hey Dudes shoes firmly on the pedals.

This is the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, connecting and celebrating women in motorsports, one story at a time.
00:00:55.043 --> 00:00:56.386
Let's hit the track.
00:01:02.457 --> 00:01:14.260
Hello everyone, this is Melinda Russell with the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, and this is actually take two, because we're at the racetrack and, as most of you know, the Internet's not always a hundred percent at the racetrack.
00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:21.186
But this young gal sitting here and no, that's not me, that's Chloe Mazzagotti.
00:01:21.186 --> 00:01:22.769
Oh, I said it right.
00:01:22.769 --> 00:01:27.504
Right, I hate butchering people's names, so I always try to make sure I get it right.
00:01:27.504 --> 00:01:42.548
So Chloe is here racing in the Kalamazoo Clash, and if you haven't heard of the Clash, you better google it, because it's a huge race and we're gonna welcome her first of all to Kalamazoo and then, chloe, why don't you start by telling me a little bit about yourself?
00:01:42.929 --> 00:01:46.355
Okay, so I'm'm Chloe Mazzagatti and I race the pink 87 Supra.
00:01:46.456 --> 00:01:47.197
L08 model.
00:01:47.337 --> 00:01:53.296
We are from New Franklin, Ohio, and we came up here for the Kalamazoo Clash and we're hoping to maybe get a finish.
00:01:53.296 --> 00:01:54.379
Maybe get a win.
00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:56.007
Yeah, maybe get a win.
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.325
That'd be awesome for sure.
00:01:57.325 --> 00:01:59.082
So you have a little brother.
00:02:00.426 --> 00:02:01.989
My little brother, Michael.
00:02:01.989 --> 00:02:08.908
He races Bandolero and legend cars, which they don't run them here, sadly, but he's only 10 so we'll be getting him started and late model soon.
00:02:09.250 --> 00:02:12.407
Yeah, you are, but you can go ahead.
00:02:12.407 --> 00:02:14.956
Sorry, it's, it's, you know it's race day.
00:02:14.977 --> 00:02:15.620
You got to keep working.
00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.669
So so your little brother races, and then your dad races.
00:02:19.870 --> 00:02:26.413
Yep, my dad races late model so I get to race him every weekend back in Ohio so it's definitely interesting and rough on my mom, but you know.
00:02:27.306 --> 00:02:28.120
So he's not racing.
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.485
Your dad's not racing this weekend, no we just couldn't get enough help.
00:02:31.526 --> 00:02:35.319
And then we have to shoot back to Ohio tomorrow to race, so he'll be racing tomorrow, okay.
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.038
It was just too much with all the cars.
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.481
So you and he will race against each other tomorrow.
00:02:39.562 --> 00:02:41.604
And me and my brother will race against each other tomorrow.
00:02:41.604 --> 00:02:45.388
We'll fly cars to the track tomorrow Norton Raceway Park, the old Barber and Speedway.
00:02:45.388 --> 00:02:47.991
So it's definitely going to be a lot of fun and a hot day.
00:02:48.532 --> 00:02:48.872
Hot day.
00:02:48.872 --> 00:02:51.234
It's a hot day here in Kalamazoo too, for sure.
00:02:51.234 --> 00:03:05.730
So you came from Ohio, and I know you're homeschooled Yep, because you can't do this, really if you're not, and you know, I think that's why so many more kids, especially girls I interview women, girls.
00:03:05.730 --> 00:03:10.483
They are able to do this because of homeschooling, and it's amazing.
00:03:10.483 --> 00:03:17.539
You know, covid did a lot of bad things, but it did some good things too, and it taught us that we don't have to be in school.
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:24.405
Yeah, that's the reason I, you know I'm not in school, which I figured I'd probably be homeschooled anyway with racing.
00:03:24.405 --> 00:03:27.927
Once I really got into it, I was like this is what I want to do in a career.
00:03:27.927 --> 00:03:32.471
So they decided to homeschool me, and my brother's homeschooled, so my mom's my teacher every day.
00:03:32.572 --> 00:03:33.651
Does that work out okay?
00:03:33.771 --> 00:03:39.776
Yeah, we definitely have our moments being in the house 24-7 together, but you know it works out nice.
00:03:40.056 --> 00:03:42.302
Yeah, it's better.
00:03:42.302 --> 00:03:48.622
So when you come to the racetrack, um, you know what's what's your favorite thing, why do you?
00:03:48.622 --> 00:03:50.105
Why are you at the racetrack?
00:03:50.246 --> 00:03:53.461
it's going to be probably 90 today, I don't know, it's hotter than heck.
00:03:53.461 --> 00:03:54.605
It's already 92.
00:03:54.645 --> 00:03:57.074
So yeah, so it's already hot in kalamazoo.
00:03:57.074 --> 00:03:57.977
It's humid.
00:03:57.977 --> 00:04:08.949
Why are you at the racetrack out here, when you could be at home swimming, or you could be at the lake, or you could be playing softball or doing a hundred other things, why are you at the racetrack?
00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:10.012
just I.
00:04:10.012 --> 00:04:13.989
I've always been around it my whole life so it's always been I want to go to the track.
00:04:13.989 --> 00:04:15.742
You know, once you get started you can't stop.
00:04:15.742 --> 00:04:39.790
So you know just the adrenaline of it making laps, working on the car, being out here with everybody too just amazing group of people over here on track and traveling and seeing different tracks, different people, meeting new people from other states it's just awesome and you know there's people like we would have never met if you hadn't been in racing and you meet so many people that become family.
00:04:40.072 --> 00:04:40.694
they just do.
00:04:40.694 --> 00:04:47.584
And other sports don't necessarily get it, because softball teams, soccer teams, they travel, but it's not the same.
00:04:47.584 --> 00:04:49.105
It's just not the same.
00:04:49.105 --> 00:04:54.057
No, and the thing about racing is you can do this until you're too old to get in the car.
00:04:54.057 --> 00:04:58.050
Oh yeah, you know, and you're not going to play softball for that long.
00:04:58.050 --> 00:05:02.992
And so you know, I know you had friends at school before you were homeschooled.
00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:10.365
I'm sure you still have a lot of those friends.
00:05:10.365 --> 00:05:10.848
What do they think?
00:05:10.848 --> 00:05:11.410
That you're racing?
00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:12.372
You're gone all the time, what you know?
00:05:12.372 --> 00:05:12.894
How does that impact?
00:05:12.915 --> 00:05:13.478
friendships at home.
00:05:13.478 --> 00:05:16.273
I really, you know, I just kind of like the odd one at school.
00:05:16.273 --> 00:05:17.177
I like to get dirty.
00:05:17.177 --> 00:05:18.062
You know I wasn't.
00:05:18.062 --> 00:05:20.391
I didn't really fit in, almost it was.
00:05:20.391 --> 00:05:25.161
It was really weird, but I really don't stay intact with any of them anymore.
00:05:25.161 --> 00:05:31.927
I got friends from Nashville to Canada because when we always go travel or racing they understand me more.
00:05:31.927 --> 00:05:33.649
I still talk to a few people from school.
00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:35.672
They just don't understand when I talk.
00:05:35.672 --> 00:05:37.814
They're like what are you talking about?
00:05:37.814 --> 00:05:41.697
So it's nice having racing friends from other states.
00:05:41.697 --> 00:05:45.807
We all get on our racing simulators every night and we all talk and get on the race.
00:05:45.807 --> 00:05:46.891
So it's really a good community.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.990
Well, technology has definitely allowed you to have friends.
00:05:50.990 --> 00:05:54.404
I mean, I have the same thing, I have a lot of friends.
00:05:54.701 --> 00:06:00.047
I wasn't homeschooled, I have a lot of friends from way back in the day and still friends here in Kalamazoo.
00:06:00.047 --> 00:06:15.473
But I have so many more friends from all over the world actually that I've interviewed and once you sit and talk to them and get to know them, you feel like they're your friend and you feel like the next time you see them or talk to them, you know you really develop those relationships.
00:06:15.473 --> 00:06:22.088
And that's the thing about racing that I think we take away from it and sometimes we take that for granted.
00:06:22.088 --> 00:06:24.240
That we have all these friends, yeah.
00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:29.632
But I could go anywhere in the country and if my car broke down I could find somebody to help me.
00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:30.622
That's what makes it nice.
00:06:30.622 --> 00:06:33.613
Yeah, yeah, for sure so you started?
00:06:33.673 --> 00:06:36.985
how long ago when you first started racing, and what did you start in?
00:06:37.245 --> 00:06:45.266
so I started five years ago in the Vanduulero car, so I started there in 2020 at Harvard and Speedway, which is now Norton Raceway Park.
00:06:45.266 --> 00:06:56.526
I was 2023 track champion at Midville Speedway, then 2024 at Norton Raceway Park and then also in 2024, I started racing Legend cars, and now we're in a late model.
00:06:56.526 --> 00:06:58.427
I still do race the Legend car weekly.
00:06:58.427 --> 00:07:00.668
We just don't travel with it as much.
00:07:00.668 --> 00:07:03.762
Now that we do have a late model, I love that.
00:07:04.223 --> 00:07:06.906
So late model is your favorite of all the things you've driven.
00:07:07.146 --> 00:07:10.810
Oh yeah, and for it being my first year in it, you know I still love it.
00:07:10.810 --> 00:07:12.291
That's all I want to do is race.
00:07:12.291 --> 00:07:13.512
That's why we're here right now.
00:07:13.512 --> 00:07:16.596
Yeah, Because we're not just around the corner from New.
00:07:16.596 --> 00:07:17.497
Franklin Ohio.
00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:26.305
Yeah, it's about four and a half five hours, yeah, so not terribly far, but it's not something.
00:07:26.305 --> 00:07:28.312
You just jump in the car and go every weekend, and I know you were at New Paris, I think.
00:07:28.312 --> 00:07:29.538
What'd you think of that track?
00:07:29.999 --> 00:07:31.242
You know it's definitely different.
00:07:31.242 --> 00:07:33.769
You know I was with Somerset and Slurway.
00:07:33.769 --> 00:07:35.012
I think we got six plates.
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.665
You know we were having some car issues, but I think it was a good night.
00:07:38.665 --> 00:07:39.507
I love the track.
00:07:39.526 --> 00:07:43.413
I love any track though, so I didn't say too much, but it was a nice track.
00:07:43.413 --> 00:07:44.560
Nice people I mean.
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:51.009
Everywhere you go it's just so many nice people you know, so welcoming and love to have you at the track.
00:07:51.009 --> 00:07:51.350
They do.
00:07:52.942 --> 00:07:53.764
So we talked about.
00:07:53.764 --> 00:07:58.007
You're 14 years old, bryce Bozell, from here in Kalamazoo.
00:07:58.007 --> 00:08:00.627
You know him, he's also 14 years old.
00:08:00.627 --> 00:08:12.795
You see more and more younger kids I call you kids in racing, and so you know why do you think more and more you're?
00:08:12.795 --> 00:08:17.810
You're young to be in a super late model, but you've been racing for five years.
00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:18.552
He's been right.
00:08:18.552 --> 00:08:21.874
He's been around racing since he was born, just like you.
00:08:21.874 --> 00:08:26.009
Why do you think more and more younger kids are getting into the bigger cars?
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.745
So I almost feel like it's the parents.
00:08:27.745 --> 00:08:38.470
Even just if the parents like racing, if your parents don't even have to race, but if your parents or grandparents like racing, just taking you to the track, you're like, man, I would love to do that sometime.
00:08:38.470 --> 00:08:47.605
Or if your parents do race, you're like I'm going to make you race, just like me, and you want to take after them and do what they do.
00:08:47.605 --> 00:08:49.673
Yeah, so I think it's really just family and friends, even if you you just go out to the track.
00:08:49.673 --> 00:08:51.140
I know people that just go out to the track on a saturday night.
00:08:51.140 --> 00:08:53.150
There's nothing else to do, and now they're racing.
00:08:53.150 --> 00:08:55.821
You know it's just something you never think you're gonna do.
00:08:55.821 --> 00:09:01.789
And then you go to it and you're like I love that it gets in your blood for sure yeah, absolutely so.
00:09:01.870 --> 00:09:08.206
You're homeschooled, you travel, you race, you have I'm sure you have to still clean your room and do all those things.
00:09:08.206 --> 00:09:09.769
How do you keep?
00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:11.280
How do you keep yourself?
00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:12.363
I want to say balanced.
00:09:12.363 --> 00:09:20.971
I don't know if you really know what maybe that means exactly, but how do you stay balanced and get your homework done and do all the things you have to do?
00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:24.230
yeah, you know we'll get up early, we'll get our schoolwork all done early.
00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:29.648
You know we've got to stay there until 3 o'clock, so we'll get it all done and then my dad gets home around 5 or 6.
00:09:29.648 --> 00:09:32.629
We'll go out to the shop until 8 o'clock and get everything ready.
00:09:32.629 --> 00:09:33.904
We've got a lot of cars.
00:09:33.904 --> 00:09:39.229
Yeah, because he races late, mom, my brother races, with all the traveling.
00:09:39.229 --> 00:09:41.171
You know we do take our schoolwork with us.
00:09:41.171 --> 00:09:49.155
We bring our iPad, so on long trips we get all that done or we'll get ahead, so like we'll do a whole bunch during one day so we can like skip the next few days.
00:09:49.155 --> 00:09:51.037
Yeah, so it's just stuff like that.
00:09:51.096 --> 00:09:52.258
Okay, keeping it balanced.
00:09:52.258 --> 00:09:56.206
Yeah, absolutely when you started racing.
00:09:56.206 --> 00:10:01.114
You know, I think your mom was a race fan as well, so she probably was okay with it.
00:10:01.114 --> 00:10:05.863
But it, but you know, do we want our little girls racing with all these men?
00:10:05.863 --> 00:10:07.005
What does she think about it?
00:10:07.206 --> 00:10:09.272
she was definitely wishy-washy at first.
00:10:09.272 --> 00:10:13.592
You know she's like I don't know about all this racing stuff, but now that I've been doing it so long.
00:10:13.592 --> 00:10:15.563
She knows I love it and she knows I'm.
00:10:15.563 --> 00:10:18.991
You know I'm safe and I've had some pretty hard hits.
00:10:18.991 --> 00:10:25.182
So she knows I'm safe and you know we have a lot of faith in the Lord and I know he keeps us safe.
00:10:25.283 --> 00:10:34.794
So she has nothing to worry about yeah, so do you have a race day like routine, like this is race day, it happens to be a Friday, but, um, what's you know?
00:10:34.794 --> 00:10:36.519
Do you have any like superstitions?
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:42.416
Or do you always wear that same shirt, or do you have anything like that that you always do on?
00:10:42.495 --> 00:10:42.956
race day?
00:10:42.956 --> 00:10:44.280
No, I just always have my black.
00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:46.328
Hey dudes on okay, that's just my thing.
00:10:46.328 --> 00:10:50.464
I always gotta have hey dudes on the track okay, so your thing is your hey dudes.
00:10:50.544 --> 00:10:51.346
I have some hey dudes.
00:10:51.346 --> 00:10:52.028
They're great, aren't?
00:10:52.028 --> 00:10:53.461
They love them for sure.
00:10:53.461 --> 00:11:02.846
So, um, what would you say if a little girl and her mom came up to you and they said chloe, my little girl wants to be just like you.
00:11:02.846 --> 00:11:04.730
What would you say to them?
00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:05.822
To encourage them?
00:11:05.822 --> 00:11:09.571
Because obviously you think racing is a good sport for girls to be in.
00:11:09.571 --> 00:11:11.380
So what would you tell them?
00:11:12.163 --> 00:11:13.787
um, just I would.
00:11:13.787 --> 00:11:19.945
I'd be amazed first, you know, just being someone's inspiration, then wanting to be just like me and inspiring little kids out there.
00:11:19.945 --> 00:11:25.480
You know, just, if you really want to do it, have your mind set to doing it.
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.403
I mean you will do it.
00:11:26.403 --> 00:11:29.909
I mean, get sponsors, get help.
00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:32.442
You know everybody's willing to help around here.
00:11:32.442 --> 00:11:40.248
Yeah, I know, if you want to race, you will be able to race, and if that's really what you want to do, yeah, so sponsors, how about you?
00:11:40.347 --> 00:11:42.211
how do you get sponsors and who are they?
00:11:42.432 --> 00:11:43.621
so my dad is a lot of them.
00:11:43.621 --> 00:11:50.393
We own a lot of scrap yards so we have City Scrap and Salvage Shakers, auto Recycling, arlington Auto and Truck Wrecking.
00:11:50.393 --> 00:11:53.948
Mickey and Connie from Springfield they've been around racing.
00:11:53.948 --> 00:11:57.408
They used to race, now they have a roller rink so they wanted to help me out.
00:11:57.408 --> 00:12:00.042
I just can't give a big enough thank you to Steve Needles with Needle Speed Solutions.
00:12:00.042 --> 00:12:01.384
He thank you to Steve Needles with Needle Speed Solutions.
00:12:01.384 --> 00:12:03.306
You know he's the reason we're here.
00:12:03.306 --> 00:12:05.548
Basically, you know he always gets our car set up.
00:12:05.548 --> 00:12:08.691
He'll go to Nashville, he'll go to Florida, anywhere we want him to go, and he's just.
00:12:08.691 --> 00:12:09.851
We want to be able to do it without him.
00:12:10.131 --> 00:12:13.596
Big help and he's raced here quite a long time.
00:12:13.635 --> 00:12:14.797
Yeah, this used to be his home track.
00:12:14.797 --> 00:12:19.066
Yeah, so he's pretty good here for sure.
00:12:19.927 --> 00:12:24.794
So um social media, you're just the perfect age that you know.
00:12:24.794 --> 00:12:27.086
I'm surprised you don't have your phone out while we're talking.
00:12:27.086 --> 00:12:33.225
So how would people follow you on social media and how do you use it to promote yourself?
00:12:33.506 --> 00:12:35.471
so we just got our social media started.
00:12:35.471 --> 00:12:37.244
Actually, you know, I'm still not a lot of habit.
00:12:37.244 --> 00:12:38.648
They just let me have facebook.
00:12:38.648 --> 00:12:42.101
So we have mazagati racing on facebook, instagram and x, twitter or whatever.
00:12:42.101 --> 00:12:43.623
Yeah, um so mazagati Racing on Facebook, instagram and.
00:12:43.623 --> 00:12:44.124
Twitter or whatever.
00:12:44.124 --> 00:12:45.945
So Mazzagati Racing, all of them.
00:12:45.945 --> 00:12:50.589
And then I do some stuff on my Chloe Mazzagati page, but that's about it.
00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:51.889
Okay, all right.
00:12:52.071 --> 00:12:54.373
We post all our updates and everything.
00:12:54.393 --> 00:12:55.874
Your schedule, like where you're going to be.
00:12:55.874 --> 00:12:58.937
All that, yeah, and you have a website that we could go to as well.
00:12:58.976 --> 00:12:59.856
Yeah, Chloe Mazzagati.
00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:09.244
And then we also have my brother's website, michaelmazzagaticom.
00:13:09.244 --> 00:13:12.230
Yeah, so we could follow you and if you're on flow or something we could watch, even if you're not in my backyard like you are today.
00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:23.118
I was so, so excited when I saw that, because I you know you can't miss the clash if you live here, and I hadn't really paid attention that much to who was coming because I knew I was coming no matter what.
00:13:23.118 --> 00:13:25.803
And then I saw the post about you like okay.
00:13:25.864 --> 00:13:30.360
I gotta go out there in the afternoon and find this Chloe girl, I need to talk to her.
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.024
So that was.
00:13:32.024 --> 00:13:34.708
That was great that they posted about you being here.
00:13:34.708 --> 00:13:39.945
Can you tell me, do you have a favorite moment from racing?
00:13:39.945 --> 00:13:44.693
Um, maybe a win or maybe a flip that you did, or something.
00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:45.943
No, I flipped about.
00:13:45.943 --> 00:13:48.130
I think I barrel rolled seven times at Midville Speedway.
00:13:49.336 --> 00:13:49.777
Wow.
00:13:49.917 --> 00:13:59.738
So, in the vein of the Lero car, actually the year I was track champion not at that track, but I was still track champion we rebuilt the car in two hours, completely tore it apart and I got second in the feature.
00:13:59.758 --> 00:14:01.964
So that was definitely a memorable moment, wow.
00:14:01.964 --> 00:14:11.500
And then, my first time in the late model, I was at Norton Raceway Park and I qualified P1 and I went on to start last because I was a rookie, and finished P2.
00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:37.905
My second race we were planning on going back to Norton Raceway Park and it rained out, so we decided let's go to Midfield Speedway, changed the gear, loaded up you know, just going down there for a learning experience, you know, not thinking about anything of winning had some of the biggest people in Ohio there, some big names, and we qualified seventh, which wasn't too horrible I think there was about 20 cars and we went on to win that night.
00:14:37.905 --> 00:14:38.908
And it was just, you know, shock.
00:14:38.908 --> 00:14:46.207
You know, second time ever in a car or ever in a late model, especially my first time ever at that track in the late model, it was just, it was amazing, I was in shock.
00:14:46.956 --> 00:15:01.706
So somewhere along the line you've got some talent, natural talent that's in your blood, from your dad, from whoever you know, family up the line or whatever, because that's not, that's not a normal thing to have happen.
00:15:01.706 --> 00:15:03.254
You know, even you said I think I finished seventh.
00:15:03.254 --> 00:15:07.346
Well, finishing seventh would have been a huge accomplishment for a lot of people.
00:15:07.346 --> 00:15:09.140
Yeah, and so you know you're.
00:15:09.140 --> 00:15:10.908
You're just doing an amazing job.
00:15:10.908 --> 00:15:12.654
What's your long-term goal?
00:15:12.654 --> 00:15:13.846
You're only 14.
00:15:13.846 --> 00:15:17.701
I know you probably want to be a NASCAR driver.
00:15:17.701 --> 00:15:18.243
I hope.
00:15:18.503 --> 00:15:22.057
Oh, wouldn't that be awesome we're trying to make it there.
00:15:22.057 --> 00:15:25.815
We have a super outlaw here tonight and we're working on the pro late model to get it ready.
00:15:25.815 --> 00:15:32.831
Maybe run a CRA at a jake store, take it to Nashville, maybe do some earn at the end of the year, maybe a waso.
00:15:32.831 --> 00:15:37.749
You know, travel, bounce around, get some different, feel on some different cars and have.
00:15:38.471 --> 00:15:40.019
are you familiar with the cars tour?
00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:43.472
Would that be something you would want to run, or that's not the right car?
00:15:43.714 --> 00:15:48.880
You know, if we come across it and we get offered or something like that, you know I would love to do it.
00:00:02.343 --> 00:00:14.446
00:00:14.446 --> 00:00:19.734
00:00:19.734 --> 00:00:28.855
00:00:28.855 --> 00:00:34.692
00:00:34.692 --> 00:00:46.780
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:55.043
00:00:55.043 --> 00:00:56.386
00:01:02.457 --> 00:01:14.260
00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:21.186
00:01:21.186 --> 00:01:22.769
00:01:22.769 --> 00:01:27.504
00:01:27.504 --> 00:01:42.548
00:01:42.929 --> 00:01:46.355
00:01:46.456 --> 00:01:47.197
00:01:47.337 --> 00:01:53.296
00:01:53.296 --> 00:01:54.379
