On episode 173 of Inside the SCCA, we connect with Formula F driver Ricky Simpson. I first met Ricky at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. It was late on a Saturday night, and they were working to fix an electrical gremlin. It was Ricky, his uncle and about a dozen super-friendly family members.

I asked how’s the car — they said they thought it was good to go and I wandered off. The next day, Ricky won the race… and he’s been running up friend regularly ever since. Tonight, we’ll talk about FF, racing with family and more.
