Bill interviews Manfred Woodall who became interested in motorsports through the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix when he was 13. Manfred bought a Honda S2000 and started autocrossing. He then campaigned a Pontiac GXP Soltice.
Then in 2018 he hunted down a Camaro to get back involved.
Manfred talks about how he loves being at the track and the motorsports community.
He also shares the news he received earlier this year regarding a cancer diagnosis. The great news is that he fought and won! This serves as a great reminder that men need to get their PSA test (prostate-specific antigen test).
Manfred provides an interesting perspective that motorsports doesn't have to be obsessive as sometimes competition can sometimes overrun life. I am glad he shares this as I believe that some people get scared off thinking that it has to be all-encompassing, which it doesn't. Being at the track should be fun.

Advice shared:
- Slow down to go fast
- Look and anticipate
- Have a routine
What's next for Manfred? Maybe vintage racing in a Datsun 240Z or a BMW 2002.
Spoiler alert! He's never been late to grid - he shares how he gets to grid early.
