If not, you need to crawl out from under that rock that you're hiding under. The mastermind behind successes like Papatina and La La Taqueria, he's more than just a restaurant guru.

Due diligence when you're looking at restaurant property isn't just essential, it is a non -negotiable. Jumping headfirst into that flashy lease because it looks cool, think again. That dream spot may just be your worst nightmare in disguise.

It's about mashing them together into a harmonious dance where one fuels the other. Think of it less as balance and more of a badass integration. In the relentless, unforgiving world of restaurants, passion alone isn't going to cut it.

We're here each and every week for you at the same time talking to the biggest names in sports. Jason Kelly, along with Mike Lynch and Michael Barr. Well, now let's turn to Michael Andretti. Yep. You know the name. He's a legendary driver executive and now owner. He's in New York this week for Formula E. It's all happening. Fans in the stands And what a moment for this product, Michael Great to have you with us. Tell us about the state of Formula E, especially from the perspective of someone. Who knows as much about this sport motor sports as anyone in the world. It's been a great program. It's really been fun to be in in the program that with a new technology we've been in since the ground floor and and the see how far it's come in just a few years has been really Pretty pretty exciting. You know, it's a you know, we've gone from a car back about 66 or seven years ago that couldn't even run the full distance. Now our But in almost, you know, 200 more horsepower, and we're going a full distance, you know, with the race, So, um, it's been called to see that you know that technology developed and be a part of it. Hey, Mike Michael. It's Mike Lynch up in Boston. How much pressure has Your last name put on you, uh, in your current venture in your career. Um, well, I think when I started out, and you know, when I was driving the first part of my career, there was a lot of pressure. People expected a lot out of you. You know you you go out and you have a good day and you finish second or third, and they ask what happened, You know, take things and you know it was. You know, it was tough starting out, but I think it actually Help me when I really, you know, got into the big leagues because I learned to deal with pressure and an early age and you know, but, uh, you know who was always It was all part of it. You know, there's pluses and minuses to everything right? Mhm. And so it's interesting to Michael to to think about the arc of your career and sort of where you are now and and putting together this portfolio of which formula is really but apart. How do you sort of build that? How did you sort of build that? And what's your What's kind of the overriding vision for it? Uh, I mean, when I first bought the team here when it was called team green, you know I was driving for the team. And it had a really good base of really good people. And, uh, you know, we just slowly just built on that, and you know that's that's what it's about, You know, building your base of people that you can trust and know they can get the job done and That's what we've been able to do. And we always have our eye out for new ventures. Um You know, we're not. We're people used to think we're just Indy car racing, but we're you know, we're all racing. Whatever you know, whatever it could work and fit into our program. We're going to look at, you know, and we're constantly looking at different things. You know, We're looking at sports cars and other types of racing as well. Hopefully get back in the Rally cross and things like that, So, Yeah, we're We're always open for something new and you know, it's been sort of exciting to be able to be in All different types of racing. You know, you learn a lot from different types and and help. It helps all of them. You know, the overall The the team, you know, because there's things you can learn in one side that can help the other things like that. So it's been. It's been a lot of fun. Have you thought about maybe NASCAR in terms of maybe one day owning a NASCAR team? I looked at it. I was close three different times where you know, I started to get excited. I think I was going to come together and then for every reason it fell apart and so Always looking at it, but it's got to be done, right. I'm not going to do it and not be competitive. I want to be able to say if we're going to do it, that we're going to be able to do it the right way, and unfortunately, those opportunities that ahead That I think would have put us in a competitive situation fell apart in the end, so You know, never say never. Michael Andretti. Really, really good to spend some time with you Safe travels to New York as it all gets underway this weekend Formula E. It's all happening there in Brooklyn. A part of as we said at abroad racing portfolio that you're overseeing. Good to spend some time with you. Thank you so much. Thank you. It's great. Spend time with you guys. Well, guys, certainly a gym packed show, you know, talking to both Michael Andretti into Ice Cube. Let's start with Michael Andretti. You know, Lindsay, this is a guy who understands motor sports clearly from from top to bottom. Historically, his family is legendary. What do you think the state of the sport is based on what he said? Well, I think it's significant that he's involved Michael Andretti and his team in formula E racing, and we're going to see it in New York City this weekend. Is that the future and I wonder 50 years from now, if we're going to have fossil fuels With a major racist like the Indy 500 the Daytona 500, or will they all be electric cars? And Andretti?.

"Podcast. Just the challenges when you don't have that stable sponsor behind you, And you gotta worry about that, too. Yeah. I mean, it zit crazy part of motor sports. That's very different than other sports, You know, and And the majority of sports basketball, football. Baseball. Whatever if you're talented, and you know, obviously you you said, you still have to have a bit of luck and things go your way, but ultimately You're talented. You're gonna you're kind of progress, and you're gonna probably get to play at the top level of your sport or isn't racing like that. Zat necessarily the case. I mean, you gotta have not only the speed on the track, but you gotta have the ability Tol some appeal to a sponsor, whether that's through your personality or whether that's through your race results or whether that's through. Whatever like there's. There's a lot of factors that teams look at when they when they hire drivers, and it's not just all about performance. So, as you said, I've been very fortunate Tol have the relationship with that bottle parts. The story of how they came on in 2016 is a pretty special one. And, um, that relationship is obviously evolved into something pretty fruitful for everyone and Same goes for from my relationship with Honda and AutoNation as well, You know, all the nation has been an associate team sponsor ever since I've been with and ready and they stepped up in a big way and 2020 to help us reach the full budget for this boy, seven car, So it Zal. Very, very cool and dreaded does a great job with their client relations and marketing team and how they manage all of that, so It's a big team effort. This is not an individual sport. It takes a village to be successful. Yeah, and nothing is guaranteed by the least on the sponsor side in every capacity. It's been a win win for everyone involved with Alexander Rossi and certainly win. For you as well and hopefully, you know there's a lot of people pulling for you. They'll be excited for the race.

"This is he rolls of the 500, The 1981 Indianapolis 500. I'm staying. We're with Mario Andretti proclaimed the winner of the 65th Indianapolis 500. His team Patrick racing no longer needed to protest the results. But Penske Racing immediately did and their protest was quickly denied by five member Usak panel of officials. Penske subsequently filed an appeal to the Usak appeals board. Which set up a hearing before a three member arbitration committee to make a final decision. Well, the 1981 racing season continued. The hearing was held on June 12th. But what was expected to be a quick hearing focusing on the issues at hand instead was anything but This hearing more closely resembled a court case with long drawn out questions for witnesses, sometimes having little or no relevance to what happened in the race. As you might imagine. Bobby answer didn't think much of the proceedings but use that made fools out of themselves. Governing body made total fools out of themselves trying to engineer that race. By that time, I really I really was hoping they had a kangaroo court made up. The hearing was adjourned and delay due to racing commitments before finally wrapping up a decision was finally rendered. October night when the panel voted 2 to 1 to return the victory to answer Who was fined $40,000 instead answer was once again three time Indianapolis 500 winter, but it had common accost he and and ready had been good friends since the 19 sixties. But that was suddenly over as far as Bobby was concerned to me. This wasn't like Mario. I know a couple of guys on his crew. They do anything to win Indy and in markets that way, too. I didn't think he'd be jumping down on this. One of his best friends. Bobby answered. That bothered me much and And then he knew how things were. And he knew what was right or wrong. Then you know there was came a time. I mean, I could talk into it. My kid could not believe what he was trying to do for Andretti's part, he says his concern with the rules being followed was never personal with his friend, Bobby, No, I'll tell you what the part that I Still today, I cannot even accept is the fact that the way it was handled that you SEC allowed outside force to come in and determine how to deal with this rule. On Cost a couple of guys. You know the same thing by finishing second and they got moved, You know, by violating something during the yellow well, anyway, a past 11 cars under the yellow. No question about it by rule, even if you Uh, Jackie Stewart and Jim McKay were saying handle that he could. They even knew that I mean, I mean, I had the film, You know that. But the following year after the drivers meeting Tomba for you know, a sit Thomas. It's just that I need to know. I said that any rule changes from last year, he says. No note. ST. This is so hypothetical today. If I pass 11 cars under the yellow and cross the finish line first is the fine still $40,000 because that's what they did. But with the Bobby they said, Okay, committed the infraction. But in this situation, the penalties too severe, so they find him $40,000 in the race back. Well, and that's the part that actually hurt the most because again, you know, and I blame you said I never blame Roger past your body because they did what they needed to do, you know, And so what? I mean, I didn't blame them. I blame you sec. White on a C all along, and Bobby thought that I was mad it out and never mad at him. I mean, they always been friends really thought it was that I was never because again, I mean, maybe in his place safe. I could have found the same lawyer you know, like Roger did. Who had done the same thing. You gotta fight for it. So again, you know that zoo? No, Bobby and I are good. The two former friends didn't speak for decades until finally the ice was broken by and ready and an event honoring answer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and 2018. The gesture was greatly appreciated by answer course. Mario and I didn't talk to each other for a long time. I mean, I told you didn't talk to him. Got my feelings hurt a lot. And and we went on a lot of years. You know, a long time. So there any rate Yeah, Way finally decided to make up last May, and he was a better sport about it. Then I wasps. The words. I was still the speech and the museum one night and Mario came in and and after came in, and I saw he was there. I wonder what the hell he's doing here. I haven't seen him be close to me for ages. Very came in, and he broke that being mad deal because even came up to the microphone and started helping me do the talking. I mean, it made me feel really, really, really good. And and I guess I thought, Well, I'd need other ass out of myself for all these years from 68 or should be 81. Until last year. 18 I mean too much. And then I realized How good a friend he was. I mean, how many years is that? We didn't talk a lot of years, you know, somewhere around See 80 30 years. More than 30 years. We didn't talk. And I think that was sad. You know, he may be a good friend hard to find good friends. You know, I could tell him something and have to worry about it. And I don't mean about my race car never told anybody about race cars but way we're cleaver in the bad times a lot of years And that was sad because Team, and I think you know, it always think it's a shame. But after he came walking up that night in the museum, I didn't think it's a shame. I felt like immediate and it's just kind of stubborn man. So it was time to make up and and we did, and I am glad I did it. You know, He's the one that broke the eyes. But that wasn't even the contest. It just made me feel a lot smaller because boy I was still I mean, really ready. Tow fight. Have a have a knock down, drag out anything. I just didn't like what it happens. What we didn't know at the time is that answers 1981 Indianapolis 500 victory would not only be his final victory at the Brickyard, but the 35th and final IndyCar win of his illustrious career. Long time Speedway historian Donald Davidson. We didn't know that that was gonna be it because the next year he comes back and he's hose any Garza's coach, But the plan Woz that if they got who's alien with little or no difficulty that Bobby was going to drive a second car for that team, and it ended up being such a struggle to get those alien that it was kind of a last minute things so that Ended that although we did drive in practice, then hey, be sat out the year basically to be whose alias coach and then an 83. Then he joined the Patrick team. He was gonna be John Cox teammate. And then he had a situation in Phoenix, where the bodywork came off in a test in March. I think it was and then he decided at that point to retire. So it came about in a rather unusual way on and Esso. It ended up that when he won the 500 in 81 that was his last run at the speedway. But It took a couple of years before we realized that that was gonna be the case..

The Next Right Thing
Don't Look At The Wall
"The original cars movie released in two thousand six which was also the year. Our Son was born at the time. Our girls were toddlers and I had three young nephews so we watched a lot of cars the cartoon version. This is what I'm saying with mater and DOC Hudson and radiator springs and of course lightning McQueen that all the kids called lightning the queen because of course they did about a month ago John and Lugar Son and I watched that movie and I guess I haven't seen it in a decade or so because every single song took me back to win. The kids were tiny and nobody slept through the night and it felt like. I was making chicken nuggets and applesauce for every lunch and dinner. Probably because I was my days of watching cartoon cars may have passed. But I'm still happy to listen to the sage advice of one real life race car. Driver named Mario Andretti who has been famously quoted over the years as having given some excellent racing advice that also seems to apply to life. He said don't look at the wall. Your car goes where your eyes go I. I saw this quote after about a week long bout of wrestling with some questions in discouragement. In my work yes. Y'All hi. It's me. Emily talking about my work. Mindset again seriously though. The simple racing advice really stuck with me during a week where I was questioning everything from the decor of my Home Office where I was literally looking at the walls to a more metaphorical wall gazing as I questioned the direction of my work at the time. This was actually just a few months ago. This happens every now and then for me sometimes on a more extreme level than normal. But I'll share. This particular season of looking at the wall has looked like for me. Now I would Mario Andretti said. Don't look at the wall. He said in the obviously of racing. Because your car goes where your eyes go of course if we want to more. Broadly apply that clever statement to life. The Wall could represent any number of things options. Distractions trouble you name it. I'm not saying we're never to consider our options to change course to be aware of obstacles or trouble that might come up as we make our decisions about our life and our work. Hello this is episode. One seventeen of an entire podcast about making decisions and I'm constantly. I feel like talking about perspectives weighing the options and seeing all sides of things. Of course that's important but I will say sometimes we can get so busy looking at the wall that we spend all our time there and we forget where we're actually going and why were on the road in the first place like the mom who's so worried about all the things that could go wrong when her baby goes off to kindergarten or starts driving a car or goes off to college that she forgets to be a person to take a walk to eat good food and laugh at the table and enjoy each parenting stage as it comes or like the employees who desperately wants to impress her boss or outperform. Her Co workers that she loses all joy in the work. She was once excited to show up for every single day or like the writer who becomes overwhelmed by what other writers are doing. And how they're doing it that she doesn't make the time to actually write the words that make her come alive. That will serve a reader. Well an usher light and hope into the world around her like the citizen whose so completely frustrated with the state of the world of politics that she feels powerless toward any change at all rather than seeing the small things that are hers to do and using her unique voice to make way for justice in her church her neighborhood and her city and like me. I feel like I've said this before but keep learning it on different levels so I'm gonNA share just a little bit of my own wall gazing story with you now and maybe by the end of it you'll consider yours for years years. It's all you. I have felt out of place in the stage culture. That many in my industries seem to inhabit so comfortably. Listen I don't even know if that's the right way to say that. But please forgive my lack of Separating over the perfect description right now I've got a point to make. It's not that I think it's wrong. To stand on. Stage is for real. It's so needed it's important. It is a unique calling that I respect. I just don't think it's my unique calling at least not fully and becoming more and more convinced that speaking to giant crowds from a large stage doesn't seem like the place where my most valuable contribution is offered. And this might seem like not big deal to you but for me. This has always been tension that I've held. The question has been for me. What does it look like to be an author who doesn't travel and speak on stages? This question is valid and it's important but if I let it it can become my own version of looking at the wall because instead of looking at what my work is I slowly begin to define it by what it isn't and eventually becomes a heavy burden to bear. Your car goes where your eyes go in so for the past several years. I've been learning. What does it look like to keep my eyes on the road and I've been living into the answer granted years ago at I? It honestly looked like saying yes to lots of travel and to speaking and never feeling fully like myself in that and after that it felt like saying no to most of the speaking but then kind of wondering if I was doing it wrong. I'll be honest these days. It looks like a few different things. For example it looks like hope. Writers is still does look like that serving writers online from the comfort of my own home leading in the ways that I know how stumbling through it doing it well sometimes in being really excited and then not doing it so well other times and learning as I go it also looks like saying yes when my friend tissue box and writer invited me to Co lead literary London with her one of my favorite trips ever this year. GonNa take our third group this summer to that trip which is currently full by the way next year. It's GonNa look like being a lecturer for the masters in Spiritual Formation Residency Program at Friends University. By the way if you want to hear more about that you can listen to episode one hundred where I tell the whole story and this week as this episode airs. I'm in southern California. Quietly CO leading twenty-eight hope writers through a year long mastermind cohort that we've designed especially specifically for them so I give those examples not really to tell you what I'm up to lately but just to offer some embodied real life versions of what this has looked like for me in my work to quit looking at the wall and instead keep my eyes on the road already. Don't look at. The Wall is becoming for me. A kind next right thing. Mantra and remember Mario's advice was about racing. Assuming you're travelling at fast speed and if there was ever a metaphor for the pace of our lives right now maybe a race car comes pretty close. You keep your eyes on your intended path if you want this to go well. It might be tempting to catalog all that could go wrong or all. That is wrong but it's more dangerous actually to look at the wall than it is to simply keep your eyes on the road and so this quote found me right on time at the end of last year and I'm so grateful for it. Maybe it's finding you today at the right time as well. If you're having one of those days weeks months or let's face it decades. What would it look like for you to make like a race car driver and keep your eyes on the road? What are the walls in your own work right now? What about in your relationships are their walls in the places where you volunteer where you give your time or your money. What are the walls you're facing today? Are you able to name them? Are you willing to turn your eyes of from them and focus on the road ahead? This is your invitation to stop looking at that wall and simply do your next right thing in love.

ESPN's 'Qualified' Highlights Boundary-Breaking Race Car Driver Janet Guthrie
"Return our attention to the world of motor sports, which has the rare distinction as being one of the sports where men and women are sensually on a level playing field in that body strength and physical speed take a back seat to focus precision and skill and yet women have struggled to break through at the highest levels of motor sports. That is the topic of the latest thirty for thirty film. It's called qualified. It used to be and women can't do it. They don't have the strength. They don't have the endurance. They're gonna endanger lives. You don't hear that anymore. What you do. Here is they're never gonna win. Then believe me if I didn't think I could win I would quit. But I do think I can win for four year stretch starting in nineteen seventy seven Janet Guthrie attempted to accomplish where women had never done qualify for and win the world's most famous race. The Indianapolis five hundred unsurprisingly she faced a ton of resistance, we'll five or six other rookies year. And she gets all attention, and they don't get nothing. Do you think she'll be able to last six hundred mile? No. No. What was surprising to the establishment was how good of a research at Guthrie actually what's despite inferior equipment funding that paled in comparison to some of the other teams and open hostility from her male competitors. Guthrie not only qualified, but earned a top ten finish in nineteen seventy within two years. She finished ahead. Mario andretti. The lady can literally with one hand tied behind her back with them in. On today's episode. Look at Janet Guthrie struggles her achievements her determination and how her career suddenly stalled out the director of qualified generic, and her producer, Carolina Waterlo will join me in a moment. But first, it is my pleasure. To say Hello to the legend herself Janet Guthrie, welcome to the thirty for thirty podcasts. And congratulations on this film will thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. So I want to get into the film when your career, but I was wondering if you could just describe what it's like to drive an IndyCar. Well, there's nothing that I know of that require is such focus without a lapse for such a long time, because you can't afford to make small mistakes, because small mistakes have shot at turning into unseemly mishaps. You're trying to beat the next guy end of the corner, but you're not going to put him in the wall. In order to do it. Hang on. John is still doing quite well second, Indianapolis five hundred AJ just one place in front of. Treaded guthrie. So it's a very interesting combination of competition. And yet, you're responsible for the well being of the person you're competing against. I don't know anything like it really. Anything can happen. One of the things I learned from the film that you grew up. You learn how to fly you parachuted. But in your answer, just then you didn't say anything along the lines of. Well, I am a thrill seeker. And I really liked going fast or something like that. I mean so where does that fit into to the appeal? Well, I guess I was born at venturous and grew up in sufficiently socialized of flying was great fun. What of the elements is that this wonderful machinery, the airplanes the race carries in able women to compete right out there, the level of human ability, because the broad shoulders and big muscles, don't count. That's part of the appeal finding out what it's like out there the limits of human capability, so this may be naive question. But why was it so hard to make that case throughout the seventies that this isn't about physical broad shoulders in the way that you just described this is about folk? This and all the things that aren't sort of inherently different between men and women. Oh, mythology. I'm afraid actually I had been racing sports car is for women had always participated. I'd been doing that kind of thing for thirteen years. And I could count the problems on the fingers of one hand that had anything to do with my being a woman, it just really wasn't an issue. So to come in to the top levels of racing and this country IndyCar racing and NASCAR Cup racing. And discover the not everybody thought that way was a quite as apprise actually when you were trying to break in. Did you get a sense that there was sort of actual misogyny at place, or was it more just like we have an old boys club here? We like our little network, and now trying to crash the party. Well, unfortunately, what was being said, was along. The lines of women did have strength women don't have the endurance. Women don't. Ev the emotional stability, Iman are going to endanger our lives times. It made made a mad mostly. I could laugh at it because I figured they would learn better and indeed, for the most part that did happen when you first started breaking in, and particularly when you got to Indy cars, your first few races, it felt like not just all eyes on you, but also testing you, you know what I mean? People were pretty explicit about this is your one chance. And if you screw it up, then you're not going to get a second chance. Well, I knew if a screwed up that it would be a long time. If for a woman got another chance. Yes. I did have to be a little extra cautious those first few races. So that not only did I give the fast or. Cars in a room. I gave them so much room that there wasn't going to be a doubt in their mind. And then as time went on, of course, I could home in on that a little more. But you look for hence. Coming up on the smart car. Chris allowed to make any mistakes day with lower Parador faster cars. Yeah. Given them all over the world. You bet. We'll hear lots more from Janika three in a bit. But now let's talk to the people who had to craft her story qualified director, Jen Ricker, and producer Caroline Waterlo. Jenna started a conversation by talking about whether Janika through was a story that she knew about or whether she felt like she was really rescuing a story that had been lost to history. I didn't know who Johnny go through was myself. And I think what happened for me is in being introduced her story. I was a little ticked. I didn't know who she was. I was like the first woman. I don't know who the first one when you qualified for the Indianapolis five hundred this is insane. And I think it started like throwing down a rabbit hole of like how many more women don't I know about. And, and I think that became something very clear to us as we were learning more about her in culling research is that most people didn't know about her, and this is an overarching problem beyond the sport beyond her story is that every time we find out about a woman, it's still a novelty, and the more novelties the less progress, you can make. And if people can identify with somebody who's come before it looks like a pretty big mountain to scale to go after something. So it it didn't up having a big impact on us. The Juno about the story. I did not Jenna, read the book and. I was very excited about it. And she and I became friends through another mutual friend who is also a producer on the film Nina, Kristich, and Nina, and I had worked on the OJ made in America doc, together. She's a archival genius, and our other producer, Greg. So the four of us all kind of came together, and John had this incredible disease of an excitement for the story, and we all immediately agreed and sort of got on board to me, it was like seventies women race cars. Awesome. The need. There's no you look at a picture of her her suits with her car. And you just think I need to know everything about this. And so it was kind of a no brainer for me to want to produce it and try to talk. Yes. PIN into making it people who are listening to this podcast will have heard her and got of personality. I'm wondering if you can take a crack at describing Janet's personality to natio- single minded in pursuit of things, she's very inflammable. And so it's probably what maters such a great race car driver. Like, as we did this discovering. Like never seen it IndyCar race. Never seen a NASCAR race. And then gets in these cars and excels. And I think that's to or credit, you know she did jump from kinda crappy sports cars to the top level of the sport. And it's to your credit that it was like give me the machine. And I will make it excel. Yeah. And then the great joy of, of Janet as a character to is you go the next layer to her. And it's like oh, she jumped out of a plane when she was sixteen right? Oh, she's an aeronautical engineer. Oh, she built her own engine? You know, we talk about, you know, stem in education, outright, science technology, engineering math, you know, she is like the stem spokesperson of all time, and that's another all the areas that she excelled in are just these kind of have traditionally not been is that we hear about women. Do you think she was motivated by just? I'm really good at this and I want to do this or how much did she recognize the sort of trail-blazing nature of what she was doing? She. Was not trying to be the first she was not trying to make a huge feminist statement. She's like I'm just trying to drive my car and I am good at it, and I and I love it and I want to do it, so please, let me do it. But then she talks about in the film how over time as people point out to her, that she is this trailblazer. And she sorta realizes that it has become a role that she does feel some responsibility towards in terms of being this woman to blaze a trail. And so she she, she's a reluctant hero in that sense. I think that was one of the things certainly that drew me to her. I think that most trailblazers arrest people who do these things aren't consciously thinking, I'm going to carry this banner. It is because they're so focused on the thing. They believe they're meant to do that. Eventually, there's a wake behind them. I think for all women. It's always like you're, you're carrying all of them and had on your back. Like, what are you? I'm just trying to go shopping. You know, like it's always so weighted down. Down, and it's a big burden to carry that doesn't happen to men excelling it something or stepping out of the norm. They're not all of a sudden given us albatross, the failure. Yes. So high. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I thought that came through really strongly in the film and continues to this day. But just this notion that certain people have much shorter leashes than others. Certain people I shouldn't mince words like white men, get much longer leash than others. You have to be perfect if you're going to try and be I. Yeah. Or even eat. Yeah. Even get the shot. It's, it's. But there were there were explicit. I mean it was explicit in that moment. I mean, they're you know, I'm trying to remember the particular quote. But there were, there were race officials basically saying this is your chance to prove a new only get one. Yeah. Right. You have to raise Trenton before let you even set, you know, step on the track at Indy that was very much like, you know, someone's going to get killed with this woman on the track. I mean now I mean it's about as high stakes as you could imagine for her going improve herself. I mean people were very concerned about it. There's times when it's like how this is an old boys club, and people are being just sorta, like joke fraternal about it. But then there's times when, like some of the signs that were out there and some of the language of use was like, and had, like, really scary. Grandstands behind his. It was always see the people agitate ner say rude things the save. Nice has get the tips out of the pets here come to young guys seem I say, hi Janet, you got to qualify said, I hope so. He said, well, we don't we hope you crash on our corner. I didn't really have a thick skin. If that's what it took to get a shot at the Indianapolis five hundred I would deal with it. That's all. Couple years before Janet arrives on the scene. Women aren't even allowed in the pit area. And so these female sportswriters sued the track to get access. And I was reading one of the articles about it, and there's drivers saying if I see one on the track and went around the bitch over. I mean this is what they're saying. And this is just somebody asking to do your job and be reporter. It was sort of shocking, and then not shocking. In nineteen seventy eight Gordon Johncock an Indy champion. He shook the car down when he came back. He got out of the Carney, through his helmet. He was furious. And he realized that
