Show notes

Hello Inspiring Automotive Enthusiasts and welcome to Cars Yeah. As the year ends, I would like to take the time to look back at and celebrate the life of those past Cars Yeah guests we lost in 2024.

It was Abraham Lincoln who said "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

These inspiring people all lived their lives surrounding themselves with their passions for people and automobiles. All were guests on Cars Yeah and I am honored to say had become my friends. Their impact on the car world and the people they encountered created lives very well lived. Something we should all aspire to do each day.

RICH MACDONALD – "Treat everyone with respect and dignity."

MIKE MULLAN – "Be creative and think outside the box and then put your ideas in motion."

ROB PITTS – "Do what you love and the rest will come."

CHAD McQUEEN – "Don't hit anything"

Show notes

John Wright is an author and past racer who started driving in 1970 and after a self-described, undistinguished record, and running out of racing funds, switched from racing to writing about the drivers, mechanics, and builders in the sport. Initially, John's stories of Canadian drivers and cars were published in the Canadian publication 'Old Autos' in Bothwell, Ontario followed by the California-based magazine 'Victory Lane'. From there, other publications published interviews John was doing at vintage events and things took off from there. John goes to vintage events around the country, including Mosport, Road America, Watkins Glen and the Laguna Seca tracks. He and his racing friends meet and talk about how fast we were… or not.
