Sean Heckman was a racer, a figure skater, a TV writer and producer, almost a lawyer, and finally owner of The Media Barons and a podcast mogul. Learn what it’s like to drive across the USA for 30+ days interviewing racing legends, while running a content creation business that caters to small businesses.
Find out why Sean calls a “sport with science, technology, and a lot of nonsense” his home.
I’ve never met Sean, and he was as curious about me as I was about him. Sean says he’s not a journalist, but he is. He gets people to talk, listens to their stories, and responds to them. He also has an immensely dry sense of humor. I literally had to stop dozens of times while editing this podcast to stop laughing. Give this a listen.

Lime Rock Park is one of the most beautiful places to see a race. After a year away, I appreciated it even more, especially as they upgraded the facilities.
The drive to Lime Rock from northern New Jersey is a driver’s drive. Narrow, curvy roads with elevation changes and relatively few places for the police to hide make it just as much fun as watching the race. Plus, the scenery is amazing, particularly in the Connecticut hills. Continue reading Photos from the 2015 TUDOR GTD-PC race at Lime Rock Park
Farewell, Lime Rock.
I’ve been to Lime Rock for most of the ALMS races over the past 10 years (see last year’s photos), but I’ve never been to a Grand-Am race. So it was sadly fitting to attend the last-ever Grand-Am race at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT, especially because the combined ALMS-Grand-Am series won’t be returning to Lime Rock next year. Unlike the searing heat of the ALMS race on July 4th weekend, we were treated to a perfect fall day at the end of September. The fall foliage made a spectacular backdrop.
It’s quite a sad ending for many reasons: Lime Rock is the closest racing location with major racing series support in the New York City area; the ride to the track is absolutely stunning; the track itself is short and makes for great racing; and because it’s really wonderful to sit underneath a tree at the top of a hill watching cars race by. I will miss you, Lime Rock; I hope a major series returns again, because I’ll be there in a heartbeat.
