The Avants Podcast

The Many Stories of Dominic Dobson

Our friend Dominic Dobson has one of the most diverse racing careers
around; something you just can’t do today. From Baja to Pikes to the Indy
500, he’s done at all and has some absolutely amazing stories to share. A
racing fan or not, we know you’ll enjoy the stories he shared on this
week’s episode!

SNOWPOCALYPSE!

SNOWPOCALYPSE STRIKES SEATTLE! Actually, that’s not too far off. The city
shutdown for most of us for about a week. We brought back Branden Ben
Powell with Avants Off Road and King County Search and Rescue to give us
some stories and talk about the work S&R has been doing, which isn’t
necessarily what you might think.

Jeff Evans Tells Us How To Rally A Prius

To answer your first question, no this isn’t a joke and we have the pics to
prove it! Jeff Evans of Throttle Grotto tells us about RallyCross in the
PNW and how he started doing it with a Prius. More importantly, he was
competitive! Just goes to show, you really can race anything.

More Wankers in Scottsdale

In this episode we recap the fun, the work, and the Wankers we met in
Scottsdale. This was another adventure to remember with great people and
we’re already looking forward to next year. If you think these stories are
good, you should hear the ones we couldn’t record!
We have to put out a HUGE thanks to Seth Thomas of APC Auto Spa and Davis
Mock who volunteered there time to help with our event.
Most importantly, this was our official one year friendiversary with our
manager and practically little sister, Amanda from Drivers Club! We
wouldn’t have made it this far without her.

Beyond Cars Yeah With Mark Greene!

We talk to our friend and fellow Podcaster Mark Greene of Cars Yeah about
how he got started and what made him the host of one of the biggest
automotive Podcasts going today. To date, Mark has produced over 1,200
episodes with all sorts of world famous automotive guests. Our Podcasts
have a a pretty different format and we’ve got to hand it to him and his
success. Mark is a good friend and we had a lot of fun getting to know him
beyond the voice on his show. Listen in and check out the story behind Cars
Yeah!

Where’s Wingnut? He’s On Our Podcast!

On this episode we have the local, the legendary, WINGNUT! You’ll probably
recognize his voice from his real job as the afternoon DJ on 100.7! Wingnut
is a huge car and motorcycle guy and tracks both his GTR and his Ducati
Panigale 1199R. It’s such a small world in the car world. Enjoy this
episode while Dan tries to keep up and stay on topic while Nick’s and
Wingnut’s ADD runs wild. Get to know your local DJ beyond the radio on this
fun episode.

Master Collector Peter Gleeson - Part 2

Did you wonder what the title “Master Collector” actually meant? Listen to
the follow up episode with Master Collector Peter Gleeson and you will
quickly understand exactly why they call him “Master Collector.” The BMW
fans are especially going to love this episode, but we’ve got something
here for just about everyone. You might even be able to strike up a
conversation with that art history major barista you’ve been flirting with
after this one.
*Art history majors can send their hate mail to info@raincitysupercars.com
and put “For Dan” in the subject line.

Master Collector Peter Gleeson - Part 1

Peter Gleeson is one of those rare people you hope just keeps talking. His
car collection is more than a collection of nice cars he bought because
they were good investments or eye catching; each car has a story - like
being involved in a bank robbery. We’re already looking forward to having
Peter back on in the future and we’re sure you will too. In part one of
this two part episode, Peter talks to us about his life and his move to the
states and how his love for cars and taste in them was formed.
