Ryan Nagle, Erin Magid, and Brendan Clark join us to share their secrets to ‘locking in,’ reflect on their victories from last year, and give us a glimpse of what they’re looking forward to with Pika and SDC this coming Raceday.

In this episode, we dive into the essential role of Lead and Follow trucks on Raceday! Our guests—John Hannon, Holly Hippensteel, Joanna Dickert, and Bryan Koval—not only serve the CMU community in their day jobs but also take on the critical responsibility of piloting and co-piloting the trucks that bookend the buggies as they race. They share their firsthand experiences with Raceday operations, navigating course hazards, the ideal truck-driving mindset, and the art of maintaining Sweeps' bubble of secrecy when needed. Tune in for an episode inside the trucks!

Season 6 kicks off strong with an incredible web of buggy connections and stories spanning generations! Peter, Elena, and Carter Harlee join us, along with another family duo, Rick and Michael Crotty. Back in the ’90s, Peter and Rick led Pioneers together, and now Elena and Carter—siblings at CMU—race on different buggy teams. Michael also attended CMU and joined yet another team. When the current students discovered their dads’ shared history, this fantastic episode was born!

Last year, for the first time ever, Buggy had 3 divisions and 3 winning drivers from separate teams! Julia "Juju" Nieto, Cynthia Xu, and Lead Restad all won a first place trophy for PiKA, Spirit, and Apex. In the final episode of the season, we go back to Raceday 2023 and hear directly from the phemonomal drivers. We hope everyone enjoys reminising about last year as we gear up for Raceday 2024 in a matter of days!
