128 – Andy Hollis: One Lap of America & More

128 – Andy Hollis: One Lap of America & More

Author: Ross Bentley: Performance & Race Driver Coach June 13, 2019 Duration: 50:37

Andy Hollis joins me to talk about everything to do with the One Lap of America. It's an event that I'm dying to do, so I pick his brain to learn as much as I can. If it's not on your list of motorsport events to do yet, it will be after listening to Andy. As he says, it's "the ultimate motorsport vacation of a lifetime," or "summer camp for gearheads."

Andy is a 13-time SCCA national autocross champ, 20-year SCCA rules-maker, track day junkie, 35 years autocross and track day instructor, Race Engineer for 2-time factory-backed championship-winning PWC touring car driver Tom O'Gorman, Crew Chief for Team Honda Research 24/25H enduros at COTA and Thunderhill, and regular contributor to Grassroots Motorsports magazine (especially for tire testing). 

Andy's Speed Secret: minimize risk and sleep.

There’s a fine line between simply driving a car and truly connecting with it at the limit, and that’s the space where Speed Secrets Podcast lives. Hosted by renowned performance coach Ross Bentley, each episode feels less like a formal interview and more like a candid garage conversation with some of the most insightful minds in motorsport. The discussions go deep into the tangible details that make a difference on the clock: the nuanced art of trail braking, how to interpret data and video to find tenths, and the subtle interplay between steering input and throttle control. Whether it’s dissecting the ideal line through a complex corner or understanding how a specific car setup change affects handling, Ross and his guests break down complex concepts into applicable knowledge. You’ll come away from this podcast not just with inspiration, but with concrete tips and a clearer mental framework for your own time at the track, be it for competition or personal mastery. It’s a resource built on decades of professional experience, designed for anyone who wants to think more deeply about the craft of high-performance driving.
