March 14, 2023 07:30 - 21 minutes - 16.3 MBDwD 0438: Fuel Conservation Methods When endurance racing, the race can often be won or lost by the pit stop strategy and sometimes the race breaks down in such a way that your team can be a few laps short from what is needed to avoid another pit stop and that can make or break the victory. Ben and Bill discuss some of their favorite ways to save a little gas and extend the number of laps and maybe sneak out a victory when you may not be the fastest in your class. A link to the epis...

February 21, 2023 08:30 - 22 minutes - 18 MBDwD 0431: Throttle Applications Tips As Ken Hill said in his past podcast, the fastest lap is created by the driver who is on wide open throttle the longest. So how do you get there best? Do you roll on the throttle or feather it, or slam it down to the floor, etc., etc., etc. Also, does it matter? Does it vary from turn to turn? Does it vary from car to car or turn to turn? How many times do we say Ross Bentley’s favorite answer of “it depends”. Come on in and find out how we ea...

So we did. We talk about how Tom has bonded with his 996 turbo and many stories of the drives and what it has taken to keep the car on the street. Have not fear though, Tom also takes the car on track several times each year. So if you see an Artic Silver 911 Turbo on the roads, its probably Tom, lol. We also get into his upcomi...

Unfortunately, we recorded this prior to updated plans for the DC universe shows and movies by James Gunn so that will have to be in a future show. Benny, Alex, Vicki, and Bill went into a bit of a geek deep dive, so strap in. So which on...
