In our last podcast, we met professional race car driver Paul Gerrard. He was preparing to take JC Agajanian Jr. and his wife Franci for a hot lap around the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach street circuit. JC Agajanian Jr. has been involved in motorsports for decades as a promoter including the legendary Turkey Night Grand Prix (now held at Ventura Raceway). In this installment, we get to hear from both JC and Franci right after they got out of the 630 horsepower AMG Mercedes and they describe what it was like. To me, seeing the looks on their faces and hearing the joy in their descriptions was priceless! Enjoy!
