Following our video series “Dinner(s) with the Rileys,” currently available on MotorTrend, we offer a series of long-form, less-edited editions of each of our sit downs. Our second is with Bob Riley, along with wife Bea, son Bill, and Bill’s wife Mary…in what would turn out to be Bob Riley’s last recorded interview. A true legend of the sport, Bob’s career has spanned from helping to build Saturn V rockets, to working on the historic Ford GT MK IV, to designing Indy 500 winning cars for AJ Foyt, all the way becoming the most successful car designed in the history of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Bob’s story is one-of-a-kind. Dinner was served at Bob and Bea Riley’s home in Mooresville, NC, with the song “Man on a Ledge” by the Talbot Brothers taking us out. Thank you to Continental Tire for making it happen!

In the second of our new series “Dinner Bites,” we talk with the legendary Patrick Long, who since sitting down with us 10 years ago has gone through some massive career changes, choosing to retire from full-time racing and focusing on an assortment of endeavors, including the growth of Luftgekühlt and Air Water, a series of Porsche-themed car shows that he was just getting started in our first sit down together 10 years ago.
In the first of our new series “Dinner Bites,” we take our first crack at shorter form episodes by talking to none other than Andy Lally, who was our first episode when DwR premiered 10 years ago. Retiring from full-time driving in January, Andy has jumped straight into his new career, being named president of the heralded Trans-Am series, a new role which Andy delved into during our latest recording.
Celebrating an unbelievable 10 YEARS of “Dinner with Racers” and Continental Tire, Ryan and Sean present a special series of announcements in celebration: from a new series, to a new members-only club, and lots, and lots of more podcasts to come.
