Today in the Marshall Proof podcast, we have, I don't know what to call this, two race engineers talking about IMSA and their return to action coming up this Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway.

This is my friend Jeff Brown on the other end of the line. Many of you are very familiar

to his awesome sounds and thoughts. Been a little while since we've done an episode, Jeff. Thanks

for making some time. Oh man, Marshall, it's good to be back. This must be the official

end of COVID-19 because we're back talking to each other.

So let's, we'll just call that that it's over.

It's not happening anymore because we're back together talking about racing.

It's official.

COVID's over.

So over, done.

I don't know what to call this.

You're the super high quality peerless race engineer.

I'm the super low quality race engineer who, as you've heard me say, I'm so good.

I now am manned with a keyboard and camera.

Let's start on the topic, Jeff, brought to us here by Cooper Tires and the Justice Brothers and our awesome friends at Toronto Motorsports.com and Bell Racing Helmets USA.

The difference, the key difference from an engineering standpoint, an engineering preparation standpoint as well, which is, hey, in January, we went to this very same track,

cooler time of the year. And the goal for every race engineer was to prepare their car

for 24 hours of action, starting, ending, hot, cold, could rain, could be be humid ambient up and down all kinds of things you

frankly have to prepare for everything we're going back here saturday night very narrow band my

friend right we're starting 6.05 p.m. Sun's not down, but it's certainly getting lower,

and we're done at 845 when it will certainly be dark. Let's talk about some of the things that you

and others would be doing to prepare for the sliver of time at Daytona to optimize a car.
