(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)

Go behind the scenes with seven-time SCCA National Champion Jesse Prather and Mazda Motorsports’ Senior Manager Jonathan Applegate as Brian Bielanski and the Inside the SCCA podcast uncover the passion, precision, and people driving success in grassroots racing.

From one-man engine shops to 100-plus Mazdas storming Road America, this episode of the podcast dives into how Jesse Prather builds championship-winning engines with unmatched attention to detail, why Mazda Motorsports invests so heavily in grassroots racing, and the evolution from rotary legends to Spec MX-5 dominance. Plus, what’s next for Mazda’s racing future, and how are competitors welcome to join in on the fun?

All of that and more, on this episode.
