A Quantum Leap - The Birth of Spirit Buggy

Chute The Sh*t by Will Weiner

Episode notes

We're joined by 4 of the original members of the Spirit Buggy team, who share the incredible underdog story of how they went from a brand new buggy team, to four years later setting a course record that shocked campus and would last 20 years.

They share the challenges of starting from nothing, making it up as they went along, and trying to enter a very established traditional sport as an African American interest group who was seeking to integrate more strongly with the campus at large. A can't miss episode this is not just a great buggy story, but a great sports story. Featuring Robert Bowie, Tom Felmley, Dave Sowers and Matt Wagner
