Chester Shenanigans, Racing in California and Weird Race Day Rituals

Welcome back to Running Loose!

Fresh from another week in British racing, Vanessa unpacks the unique atmosphere that makes Chester one of the maddest weeks in the calendar and how Michael Owen has helped boost its popularity, while Francesca questions some of the stranger things people do before heading to the track.

Plus: Your questions, would Vanessa rather have feet for hands or hands for feet?! And whether social media gets racing people completely wrong.
