In this episode of the Backseat Driver Podcast! I sit down with Derek Drinkwater, a passionate racing enthusiast with a knack for vintage American car restoration. Derek takes us on a thrilling journey through his love affair with racing, from his early days tinkering in his dad's garage to his adventures at iconic events like Bonneville and the Le Mans Classic. He also shares insights into his unique stargazing business and recounts the excitement of competing in Le Mans 2021. Plus, Derek regales us with the story of rebuilding a 1949 Cadillac, complete with technical hurdles and the exhilarating crowd engagement of race day.
