Episode 19: My Race Family with Chris Buccola

This is the episode Jake built this podcast around! Do you want to get deeper into motorsports than the average spectator and couch potato? How would you like to have an Indy Car come within inches from you at speed? Do you want to race, but don't have the budget for a car? This is the episode for you! This week, Jake talks to Chris Buccola, a local SCCA Corner Marshall. Chris has been volunteering at events from the local club race all the way up to the 24 hours of Le Mans! To Jake's surprise, it isn't that hard to go from working at your local event to even getting behind the scenes at a Formula 1 race. Chris tells some great stories and shares just how easy it is to get YOUR start as a Corner Marshall. If you're interested, you can get your start at and look up the F&C person in the contacts page (at least, that's where Jake found it in the Chicago Region page). Check out the AMAZING pictures Chris shared with me on all my social media: @ragstoraces on Twitter and @rags2races on Instagram If you need any help finding more information or just want to chat, don't hesitate to email me at ragstoraces@gmail.com Keep the shiny side up!
