Is that-

Long Beach Grand Prix comes around and a lot of us are on it.

That's right.

Well, you've done that before, haven't you, David?

And that's nothing.

Like, I was over at Long Beach Grand Prix looking at, like, the Penske group running the ALMS, or the, sorry, the G3, or sorry, the LMDH car, and then the...

And the Indy car, yeah.

Yeah, and so I thought we were, like, moving mountains here.

So why don't you tell us a little bit how you got your start in the automotive content world?

Long story short, I was meeting my friend Parisa, God rest her soul, at Hoonigan before the Long Beach Grand Prix.

And then Radio, who worked at Hoonigan, the front store, they have like a store at 621, that's the old building where they used to do the build breakdowns.

I said, if you stick around, Brian Scotto and Ken Block are coming.

...

Adam raced in this Long Beach Grand Prix thing, and three Jews came in ahead of him, so I thought, "Oh, this is an exciting story."

Oh, yeah, yeah.

That was when I was going, correct.

...

I've been to Long Beach Grand Prix.

It's dope.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, um, and then it split into Champ Car, which had the Long Beach Grand Prix and then, and then certain races sort of, and then, and then the Indy Racing League, I think it was called.

IRL, yeah.

Yeah, IRL, which had Indianapolis Motor Speedway as sort of its, as, as, as sort of its-

And it's like do I care as a fan what the competition aspect is? No.

I don't even care who's in first.

I remember I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix, and it was, uh, IMSA.

So it was all the-

We didn't die.

It was, it was not as good as the food truck, but they, they, the chorizo, uh, quesadilla off, just unbelievably good, uh, at, at, at the Long Beach Grand Prix.

And they sponsor a car every year.

They're usually on a Dale Coyne car or something.

Captured that in April at Long Beach.

My friend Steve Secor, Derek Marceau as well, helped edit and get the sound correct, or as correct as it could be on that, talking about CGR's 30th anniversary, winning their first championship, and also first Long Beach Grand Prix for Jimmy and the team.

That was cool.

It says, one thing that stood out to me was Ganassi's edict for all drivers to work together towards a common goal.
