DwD 346:  Track Selection:  The Impact on Learning

June 22, 2022 15:31 - 27 minutes - 23.3 MB

DwD 346:  Track Selection:  The Impact on Learning On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we wanted to discuss an aspect of racing education that can often be overlooked.  The typical decision path to getting a racing license or going to an HPDE event or a track day is to find the closest track to you that has an event that fits within your schedule.  This is likely to be what you do as well.  However, one factor that is neglected in this methodology is the impact that the track design...

GHIT 0345:  Race Recap:  Bill Goes to Comp School Our first team member is trying to get his racing license at Gingerman with NASA Great Lakes.  This is his third weekend in a row and boy does it show.  Also, the hazards of prepping a car for a race weekend with a post-race hangover/zombie mechanic.  Bill also was racing with Glenn and Tim in his first ever NASA TREC race at Gingerman.  All race weekends are great fun but sometimes things just don’t go your way.  What are the stories from ...

GHIT 0342:  The Tyler Stank

June 14, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 78.4 MB

GHIT 0342:  The Tyler Stank After having better answers to several of our Dominating with Dawson’s, it was only appropriate that we invited him onto the podcast.  We first met Tyler while iRacing and have since been paying attention as he has begun driving in the real world as well.  His middle name really is Ayrton and there can be no better reason to have him on the podcast, but he is also notably the first person to drive each of the three versions of mini truck in the 24 Hours of Lemon...

DwD 0341:  The difference between building a car and developing a car

June 13, 2022 18:14 - 31 minutes - 25.5 MB

DwD 0341:  The difference between building a car and developing a car Race Weekend Shuffle in place:  We have talked a lot about building a race car and prepping a car for the track.  But that Is only the beginning and just when you thought it was over, it has only begun.  The best way to think about it is that you now have a ticket to enter the event and part of your future will be developing the car and improving it.  There are things that will always need to be done.  Some of these area...

GHIT 0340: Getting the Most Out of Instruction at a Track Day or HPDE etc

June 07, 2022 07:30 - 31 minutes - 25.5 MB

GHIT 0340: Getting the Most Out of Instruction at a Track Day or HPDE etc Track time is a precious commodity.  It is often difficult to fit into your schedule, it takes a significant amount to prep for a weekend (both the car and the driver and often simply getting to the track).  It is also not free to attend the event.  We try to give some examples of what to do and what not to do before an at an event.  Also, given this, one of Bill’s obsessions is in getting the absolute most he can fr...

GHIT 0339:  Late to Grid Podcast Host Bill Snow

June 06, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

GHIT 0339:  Late to Grid Podcast Host Bill Snow Our paths have crossed seemingly many times, but we have never met until now.  The Late to Grid podcast is aimed at covering amateur racing and helping grow our sport.  Since our podcast goals are almost identically aligned, we thought it would be great to have Bill on and share some stories and maybe we could learn from him some of his vast mechanical skills.  We talk about all things racing, his home tracks of Mid O, PittRace, and Nelson Le...

GHIT 0338:  Jess From the Shifting Points podcast’s First Track Day

GHIT 0338:  Jess From the Shifting Points podcast’s First Track Day We have an upcoming race at NJMP’s Thunderbolt track next weekend, so we took advantage of the NASA Northeast’s HPDE event this weekend to get a bit of track time for our friends from the Shifting Points podcast who will be racing with us.  This will be Jess’s first ever race and today was her first ever track day and great preparation for the race.  Vicki was going to explode if we made her wait any longer for a review of...

DwD 0337:  Dashes, Switches, and Control Panels Vicki has been hard at work upgrading our dashboard and controls in our Honda Civic race car.  She also has a favorite past time at a track by looking into each car and trailer set up to see what others have done and ideas that would improve our cars (and trailers).  We thought it might be a good thing to discuss and provide a list of things that we like to see on a car and have found to be helpful in maintaining the car or preventing the car...

May 30, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 85.7 MB

GHIT 0336:  NASA’s TREC Endurance racing series with Bryan Lingruen As you know, we love endurance racing.  Endurance racing allows us to get a huge amount of track time and competition in a single weekend.  NASA has recently started an endurance racing series to compliment their sprint racing and HPDE weekend events.  The TREC series currently races at the same tracks on a Friday and the races range from 3 hours to 8 hours depending on the event and the venue.  We talk with Bryan Lingruen...

DwD 0335:  Bought Not Built?

May 24, 2022 07:30 - 18 minutes - 16 MB

DwD 0335:  Bought Not Built? One of best things about racing is how welcoming racing has been to us and in general to everyone we see at the track.  One related aspect of this is the application of a built not bought aspect to racing that is often used in jest, but can divide the paddock, either by accident or intent.  However, just because you or your team may have mechanical experience and talent, which does not imply that a team or person that does not should be excluded from the sport....

GHIT 0334:  How to Test Your Car at the Track with Scott Robertson

May 23, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

GHIT 0334:  How to Test Your Car at the Track with Scott Robertson We often hear how important it is to test your car prior to racing.  While listening to Scott’s Track Walking podcast (a can’t miss podcast), Scott was discussing how he and Becky were able to conduct a full track test and tune evaluation of their vehicle during a recent HPDE.  Since Scott is a respected coach and offers a service to help a driver to dial in their car at the track, we thought he would be a perfect guest to ...

DwD 0332:  Pit Stops – Practicing and Some Best Practices Once you start to progress as drivers and as a team, one of the more important aspects of racing and one of the most overlooked and potentially ignored aspects of endurance racing is minimizing you time lost on track during the pit stops.  As always, the over-riding most important aspects is to maintain focused on the safety of you, your team, your cars, and the fellow teams in the pit lane.  We also offer a few of the lessons we ha...

DwD 0330:  CPR and Racing – Correct, Pause, and Recover)

May 10, 2022 07:30 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MB

DwD 0330:  CPR and Racing – Correct, Pause, and Recover) CPR is typically referred to in a medical emergency.  But in racing, CPR is in reference to Correct, Pause, and Recover when you are out of sorts on the track.  The thought behind the acronym is that when your car gets out of shape or out of control on a track, one of the things that should be taken into consideration is that this can often require a procedure where you not only correct for the issue/error, but you must wait an appro...

GHIT 0329:  Lemons Rally Wrap Up of the Recent Four Corners Rally with Jeff Stobbs

GHIT 0329:  Lemons Rally Wrap Up of the Recent Four Corners Rally with Jeff Stobbs Rally Master Jeff Stobbs returns to summarize the recent Four Corners Rally.  We missed the daily updates for this one due to a whole buffet of reasons, including multiple times zones, work travel, food sickness, etc.  So instead of our nightly updates, we thought we would try a summary of the entire event.  We will return to our previously scheduled daily updates on the next rally.  Or at least we will try....

GHIT 0327:  John Kolesa on AER (American Endurance Racing) John Kolesa started American Endurance Racing several years ago and Bill had a great time racing with the series at PittRace, so we had to have him on to officially introduce everyone to the series if you are not already familiar with AER.  Since starting the series in 2014, AER has assumed a position towards the more competitive/higher performance segment of the amateur endurance racing community.  The series was desiring to be mo...

DwD 0326: Driving "What You Got" On Track - Two Ways

April 26, 2022 07:30 - 22 minutes - 19.1 MB

DwD 0326:  Driving What You Got On Track - Two Ways On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we go over two aspects of driving on track with the “car” you have.  This was originally intended to address the aspect of driving the car you have and adapting your driving to the car as it is during a weekend or a stint.  Most of us are not fortunate enough to have the ability to dial in a car on the fly while on track and most times you have to make the best of it.  The discussion also went in...

DwD 0323:  The Return of Two Feet In

April 19, 2022 07:30 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MB

DwD 0323:  The Return of Two Feet In We return to the topic of two feet in to make sure everyone is on the same page and why we would be strong supporters of knowing when it is time to employ this technique.  The key aspect of this is to get your feet off of the throttle or gas pedal and press down hard on the clutch and brake if there are three pedals or just jump on the brake pedal if it is a two pedal car.  This will reduce the kinetic energy of the car, reduce the likelihood and severi...

DwD 0320:  Error Corrections – Good Ideas and Bad Ones Due to back to back race weekends, we were not able to get our usual Monday episode edited in time, so we are switching this week's Dominating with Dawson to one day early and editing the regular episode for tomorrow.  With that, here is the latest DwD. Not having ever made a mistake on track (lol), we ask Ben what to do when an error occurs on track during a corner and what to do to get back into the rhythm and normal sequence.  The...

GHIT 0314:  Audra Tella on Autocross and a Pre-Intervention It was almost spring, and we were thinking about ways to get out and start having fun with our cars again.  We thought it may be great to go autocross’ing, especially to start the season.  Since we were thinking autocross, we thought we’d invite Audra back to the podcast to talk all things autocross.  Audra is one of the hosts of the Shifting Points podcast and is also one of the leads for the local BMW autocross group near Boston...
