EP9 - The Fred Flintstone Tech That Created a National Autocross Champion, David Schnoerr

What do you get when you mix a 72-year-old track junkie, two national autocross championships, an FIA racing license, and decades of wild pace car stories? You get David Schnoerr — and you get one hell of an episode.

From his early days navigating “slalom competitions” in Panama to mentoring the next generation of racers at FARA, David's journey is as fast and relentless as the cars he’s driven. He’s competed on the national stage, raced professionally, and still shows up to every track day with his orange F80 M3, usually right on the heels of the fastest drivers in the field.
