  Scott Crouch of Flatirons Subaru

  Jun 27, 202640 minS5

  This week on Rallying in America: The Recce Podcast, I have a nice casual conversion with Scott Crouch, owner and general manager of Flatirons Subaru in Boulder, Colorado. Scott shares his journey into rally, starting in 2003 when Tanner Foust introduced him to the sport after working together at a dealership. Scott and Tanner competed together for several years before Tanner moved on to X Games and other opportunities. Scott’s rally career covers both driving and co-driving. We discuss Scott's participation in Pikes Peak Hill Climb where he competes in the time attack division and hosting an Oz Rally Pro class at his dealership. Scott also discusses Flatirons Tuning, which sells performance Subaru parts and about his collection of vintage Subarus including a 1984 GL Wagon that was the inspiration for Travis Pastrana's Family Huckster.

  RJ Ridgway & Ryan Symancek

  Jun 20, 20261h 15mS5

  I’ve talked a lot about rally cross on this podcast over the last year and a half and how it’s a gateway into stage rally. Well, finally, I believe it now. My guests this week are RJ Ridgway and Ryan Symancek. We chat about the why and the how-to. I’ve included our discussion before we got started because I feel it is good for you to hear. I left the conversation pretty much unedited. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. I also hope that you can get a chance to experience rally cross if you haven’t already.
