Shaun: Editor in Chief, Podcast Host	Mike: Associate Editor, Podcast Co-Host, and Webmaster
A passionate rally and Formula 1 fan, Shaun has branched his interests out into IndyCar and Le Mans series racing the last couple years. Shaun specializes in the rally and action sports sections on the page with indepth coverage of WRC, Rally America, and X-Games. Shaun is also the host of the Open Paddock podcast and is currently looking into ways OpenPaddock.net can be improved for fan interaction and ways to bring the cars and drivers to a personal level for the fans of these great series.	His contributions can be seen everytime you visit the page. Mike has worked as the code manager and website design specialist since Open Paddock was created in early 2009. Mike specializes in the IndyCar and Formula 1 series and has re-taken to rally racing. Mike is also the usual co-host on the weekly podcast and does a great job keeping Shaun in line when he pulls a Bernie and strays from the plot. Without Mike’s contributions to the site, OpenPaddock.net would probably still be a pipe dream.
