Gear up for a high-octane conversation with Crystal Lopez, the mastermind behind the Big Bend Open Road Race, and discover the exhilaration of a 44-mile time trial that transforms public highways into a racer's paradise. Crystal, with an infectious enthusiasm that rivals the roar of engines at the starting line, breaks down the essential elements of strategic driving and split-second timing that define this unique motorsport experience. Whether you're a Corvette enthusiast or a daily driver looking to test your skills, our chat offers a rare peek under the hood of what it takes to compete, from the thrill of navigating treacherous turns and inclines to the camaraderie among participants that fuels the event's competitive spirit.

Strap yourself in as we navigate the essential preparations and safety measures required for the rubber to meet the road. From fire extinguishers to racer attire, learn about the non-negotiables that keep drivers safe while pushing the limits. We zoom into the importance of practice sessions on alternate highways, the investment rookies should anticipate, and the unique dynamics of racing partnerships. Get a sense of the community that comes alive in the pit and the commitment required, whether you're a solo driver or part of a family team looking to claim bragging rights. This is where the passion for speed meets meticulous planning and a shared love for the open road.

Revel in the details of the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum, a hybrid SUV that promises more than just a smooth ride for families and their gear. Our review shifts from the exhilarating race to the luxurious comfort of the Grand Highlander, with its plush third-row seating and the latest in connectivity for those long drives to the pit or the grocery store. We explore how this mid-size marvel is revving up to redefine road trips with an expansive suite of features, from a panoramic sunroof to a JBL audio system. Join us for a ride that transcends the race track and merges into the everyday journey, with the same pulse of adventure and attention to detail that makes every mile memorable.
