"In part two of our conversation with legendary mechanic Bob Butte, we dive into the high-stakes logistics of the Jim Russell Racing School in the early '80s. Bob shares the harrowing reality of loading cars onto 'dinosaur' ramps, the frantic debut of the Formula Russell at the 1984 Long Beach Grand Prix, and the sleepless 72-hour grinds required to keep the wheels turning. From the birth of Formula Mazda to the inner workings of Mont-Tremblant, this episode is a raw look at the grit behind the glamour of motorsports.
