Doug talks about his dream of running prototype cars, the team's relationship with Bobby Labonte and the level of competition in the DP field.</p><p>Oberto reflects on his season to-date and his love of street racing. Great stuff.</p><p>Unfortunately, about an hour after our conversation, the team's weekend took a turn for the worse. I can tell you, though... these guys will be back at it next week in Laguna Seca with a &quot;never-say-die&quot; attitude. Don't count them out.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><enclosure url="http://podcast.johnthawley.com/podcasts/Podcast_016.mp3" type="audio/x-mpeg"/><wfw:commentRss>http://www.trackbytes.com/trackbytes-podcasts/rss-comments-entry-463392.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Playboy Racing Checks In With Trackbytes.com</title><dc:creator>Trackbytes</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 28 Apr 2006 03:17:02 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.trackbytes.com/trackbytes-podcasts/2006/4/27/playboy-racing-checks-in-with-trackbytescom.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">26757:315753:463382</guid><description><![CDATA[<i><b><span class="thumbnail-image-float-right"><a href="http://www.trackbytes.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2F29862.jpg&imageTitle=185045-325767-thumbnail.jpg" mce_real_href="http://www.trackbytes.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2F29862.jpg&imageTitle=185045-325767-thumbnail.jpg" mce_onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=806,height=537,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img src="http://www.trackbytes.com/storage/thumbnails/185045-325767-thumbnail.jpg" alt="185045-325767-thumbnail.jpg" mce_real_src="http://www.trackbytes.com/storage/thumbnails/185045-325767-thumbnail.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="width: 200px;" class="thumbnail-caption">Photo by John Thawley</span></span></b></i>We were able to put aside some time to conduct a couple of interviews this weekend at Virginia International Raceway.

This is flag to flag coverage with Tom Hnatew, Eric Prill and Dan Lacy call the action. The Cadillac boys have this last chance to get the job done and bring home the Manufacturers' Championship for Cadiallac and lock up the Drivers' Championship for Andy Pilgrim. The action is fast and furious with considerable contact. Plenty of fodder for off-season controversey which is sure to carry over to 2006. Give a listen and you be the judge!</p>]]></description><enclosure url="http://podcast.johnthawley.com/podcasts/Podcast_008.mp3" type="audio/x-mpeg"/><wfw:commentRss>http://www.trackbytes.com/trackbytes-podcasts/rss-comments-entry-277000.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Final Round SPEED World Challenge Touring Cars</title><dc:creator>John Thawley</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2005 16:33:01 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.trackbytes.com/trackbytes-podcasts/2005/10/17/final-round-speed-world-challenge-touring-cars.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">26757:315753:276991</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="thumbnail-image-float-right"><a href="http://www.trackbytes.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FIMG_7045.jpg&imageTitle=185045-190597-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=427,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img alt="185045-190597-thumbnail.jpg" src="http://www.trackbytes.com/storage/thumbnails/185045-190597-thumbnail.jpg" /></a></span>Here is the trackside broadcast of the final round of the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car race at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California.
