Speaker 1 (00:00):
Amazing weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Oh oh thanks, right, Remember you had.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
An amazing weekend. You were down in Miami, you were
racing as part of your garage. I d yes, and
I don't. I really think it's interesting what you've been
doing over the last three, four, five, six, seven, eight months. Yes,
And maybe it's a good opportunity to let people know,
because I don't. I feel like we should be sharing
what we're working on in the background with the people,
because maybe that gives them a context of who we are,

(00:24):
the perspectives in life that we have, and the idea
that we are just not we are not only just
shit talkers on the internet, but we actually do real
things in life.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's true. So I'll make it short, but everybody out there,
I had an amazing weekend. A bucket a life bucket
list checked off this weekend. It is you know, if
not everyone knows, I've been in racing my entire life.
My it's kind of gotten in the blood. My son
racist full time. He's on his fifth season as a
Carter National Racing Club racing just amazing. And for me,

(00:55):
it's always been a dream to have my own race
team at a professional race and we spent all of
twenty twenty four putting that together with Garage I D
which is one of our investments, and we launched it
this last weekend, four full days at THEFARA USA Miami
five hundred. We had two cars, number fifty five is
spect Me Out and fifty six spect Me Out of
We had Center Smith in the fifty five and Todd

(01:16):
Burris in the fifty six seventeen car Grid three races
endurance thirty thirty thirty minutes each and Todd finished p
three in our first inaugural race as a team, and
Center Smith finished seventh and just so proud of them.
People don't realize how much work it takes to put
these cars together and get them race worthy, end then

(01:38):
race and race well. And one of the other things
that we were announcing there, which is really why I
want to talk about this, is we launched the Collegiate
Racing Series.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
So I wis no collegiate racing series for racing exists
right now, never been done, which is crazy, which is crazy.
So people who turn on the tube, turn on the TV,
they log in and they see NCUBA basketball or NC
DOUBLEA soccer or NC Double A, you know, football, or
they're swimming, but you've never turned on the tube or
a YouTube and seen NC double A collegiate racing and

(02:11):
so we invested in this late last year. It's blown up.
We have over four hundred universities globally signed up for
this racing series. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
The amount of momentum and growth and interest is absolutely outstanding.
So for everybody out there that's listening, here's my CTA.
If you're into racing, you have a student or you
know a young young student who's going into college and
is looking to get into racing and racecraft. We have
an entire new latter system called the Collegiate Racing Series
where we get you get training, you get track time,

(02:44):
and you get your FIA license so that you can race.
In twenty twenty six, go to Drive Drive Drive crs
dot com. We have over one thousand people showing up
to our February twentieth at seven pm Eastern Center Time
discovery call. We have ter's high net worth alumni, faculty,
tons of students, vendors, partners, people all in motor racing.

(03:06):
It's going to be an amazing time. So go to
DRIVECRS dot com. I'd love to see you on February twentieth,
in just a week from this air. And if you're
into college racing or if you're in the racing, i'd
love to see there.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's really interesting that often the best ideas are the
ones that are so obvious and you're like, I can't
believe no one did this.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Every single person we talked to that's into racing and
it has a university that they're attached to is like,
oh my gosh, I want us for Georgia Tech or
Clemson or UVA or wherever they represent. I want them
to win the Collegiate Racing Series and two twenty.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Of course, racing is so big throughout the world. And
let's be real, the Netflix show Drive to Survive fam
they really changed the racing market for the world, oh
no doubt. Right before them, it was like a fringe
sport that people watch, and then the show came out,
everyone's like, holy shit, this is a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yes, and what they did if I can give a
little bit of context, I'll make it sure. The old
CEO of F one in twenty fifteen took F one down,
like the numbers were going down from two thousand and
four to twenty fifteen or so, and that's when Liberty
Media bought F one and they realized that people are
not interested in the racing, They're interested in the human

(04:19):
aspect of it, and so for them, they started focusing
on the drivers and driver profiles and driver narratives and stories,
and obviously this grew to what we now see is
Formula One Drive to Survive and that has absolutely just
blown up the racing world. We were having the highest
growth in racing from all the way from krting, youth racing,

(04:40):
all the way to up to adult racing. One of
the guys who was in one of our sister cars
is in his sixties. He's driving Expect me Ata Prospect
me Onta. And so we are in the greatest wave
of growth in racing that we've ever seen in our lifetime,
and I'm so glad to be a part of it.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh side note, I should oargue with Denik. I mean, yes,
I'd love to talk with her. And if she wants
to come and help teach and talk to the thousands
and thousands of students, yeah, that just makes sense.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
We'll do right up our Ally, if you're into I racing,
I just I just and I don't mind saying this
because they gave me permission. We are partnering with I Racing,
the number one SIM racing system out there in the world,
and with your Collegiate Racing Series membership, you will get
access to I Racing as well. So for those who
know that that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, congratulations, this is pretty amazing. This is pretty cool.
And again, if anyone's into racing or wants to be
a part of it, wants to know, definitely check it out.
We don't really do sponsorships here, but it's not a
sponsorship TiAl.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Shit. No, I put money. It's my money that's going
into this.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
This This is I don't get a cut.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
By the way, ain't nobody getting there's This is an
angel investment. So this is money out of my back
pocket to make this thing happen. But man, we have
so much momentum, we have so much interest. If I
could say, if I could say anything, if I could
manifest something amazing, I think we're going to raise millions
of dollars in the next thirty days. Awesome.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Congratulations Peter,
