November 02, 2021 07:30 - 16 minutes - 13.8 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we talk through the importance of optimizing the pressure in your tires. No doubt this is of great importance to the performance of the tire as well as affecting the wear characteristics of the tire. We go through what you should try to target and several methods that can be used to determine the optimum tire pressure. Each method is a balance of cost, ease, and accuracy.

Tom’s first visit to our podcast was with zero notice and was at the invitation of Nine Live Racing’s Johnny C on episode #209 when we had our first episode on Aero. In spite of this, Tom decided to put up with us again in what we hope will be a long list of bad decisions in the future.

GHIT 0250: Ross Bentley Coaches Our Team
October 25, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 89.8 MBDid you ever wonder what a driving coach does for their driver? We were always curious. Ross Bentley was kind enough to show us the start of the process. Ross Bentley was kind enough to continue our tradition of having him on as a guest to help us celebrate every 50 episode anniversary. And as long as he keeps saying yes, we will keep asking him, lol. For this episode, Ross was kind enough to offer to help coach Vicki and Jennifer. While the exact recommendations may vary between th...
DwD 0249: Fast Hands vs Slow Hands
October 19, 2021 07:30 - 11 minutes - 9.96 MBIn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we discuss the debate between fast hands and slow hands. The natural tendency of each driver varies, often by how they grew up. Go karters and autocrossers usually have a tendency to have faster hands. Ben discusses with us the usefulness of both and what we think of as the "proper" hand speed. Also, Ben stakes a very strong claim in the debate between Eric Clapton and Eddie van Halen. If you would like to help the podcast, you can subscribe...

October 12, 2021 07:30 - 25 minutes - 21 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we are finally able to discuss what lift off oversteer is thanks to a recent article that Bill found on the internet.

GHIT 0241: Our Garage Weekend with Alex Levinson
September 24, 2021 07:30 - 37 minutes - 42 MBAlex Levinson has a ton or racing and wrenching experience, especially with Miatas of all vintages. So when he "volunteered" to come over for a work weekend, we quickly lined up everything we could think of to finish up several projects on each of the team's 3 Miatas. However, our best laid plans did not come together as we had hoped. New car lift? Worked great and a game changer! Bribe/food prep was as always on point. Listen and learn about what can happen on a work weekend, especial...
DwD 0240: Driving Plateaus and How to Break Through Them
September 21, 2021 07:30 - 22 minutes - 18.8 MBIn this Dominating with Dawson episode, Ben goes over his personal plateau story and what it means to be stuck at a driving plateau. To this point, our team has not been at a plateau and has been slowly or quickly improving to this point. One of the key areas to look at for breaking plateaus is to do something new or differently and learn from it. This is where going to an HPDE, doing drills, trying new lines, and utilizing coaching can help you to see an opportunity to improve. If you d...
GHIT 0239: Jaime Garcia from the Race FF Pod
September 20, 2021 07:30 - 55 minutes - 43 MBJaime Garcia started the Race FF Podcast to share with everyone his racing and building progress and to help everyone get started in racing by showing them that it can be done. Since we have essentially the same goals, it was natural to have him on the podcast. As his podcast title indicates, Jaime races a Front engine Front wheel drive in both HPDE, time trials, and wheel to wheel. His current target is competing in Honda Challenge in southern California. Further parallels between the p...

September 15, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 91 MBIt all started with a great idea, let’s go to an HPDE event with the hosts of the Shifting Points podcast. Audra had raced with us at the Thompson race in August and Jess & Kathy had visited for moral support and wanted to try track driving. There was a ladies event with MassTuning set for mid September. Sounds like a blast. Until it wasn’t. In what was supposed to be a two episode celebration of this event, we go into the prep and excitement of going into a track event and how things e...

September 14, 2021 07:30 - 8 minutes - 7.6 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we play our jeopardy jargon game with Ben and go into the topic of (Bill lost his place) oppo lock or counter steer and how it can be used on track.

September 13, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBTim Fokine is a commercial pilot and also involved with the training of pilots, as such it was no surprise that he is involved with the training of drivers and instructors within NASA Great Lakes and a few other groups. Bill first met Tim in HPDE 2 at Mid Ohio and Tim was further motivated to progress quickly, lol. This past week however, like a bad penny, Bill was back and Tim was his mentor in his prep weekend sessions for next month’s MSF Level 2 instructor certification weekend. Durin...
GHIT 0235: GHiT Garage, Podcast, and Team Update
September 08, 2021 07:30 - 37 minutes - 30.2 MBThe Garage Heroes In Training team has had quite a summer on the track so far and with our racing season beginning to wind down, but far from done on the track, we thought we would bring everyone up to speed with where we are with the podcast, how our driving and racing is progressing, and what our car related projects are going into the fall and winter repair and build programs. This is a quick episode, but we have so many moving balls (people and cars) it may appear random or confusing at...
DwD 0234: Jargon 101: Body Roll - No, not a Jelly Roll
September 07, 2021 07:30 - 8 minutes - 8.02 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we go over jargon again and cover what body roll is, how it affects your car, and how it can help and hurt you on track. The physics of racing are consistent and not able to be broken, but knowing them allows you to use them to your benefit and minimize any deleterious impacts through driving accommodations and potentially in setting up or building your vehicle. Ben even offers several of the potential knobs that can be turned to affect the degree a...
GHIT 0233: Ken Hill on Driving and Riding
September 06, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBKen Hill is an accomplished motorcycle racer and sought after coach. Ken was kind enough to join us for a great discussion on track driving and riding. While often thought of as very different, most of the skills and techniques translate fully between riding a motorcycle and driving a car on a track. Ken has a podcast that goes into a lot of Ken’s preferred techniques and philosophies about track riding that Ken had developed to assist him in his personal progression as a competitive race...

August 31, 2021 13:30 - 14 minutes - 12.6 MBDwD 0231: Breaking Down A Turn - One Approach On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we go over a way that (hopefully future guest) Ken Hill breaks down a turn into entry turns and exit turns where you can prioritize either speed in, or speed out of a turn or balance of both. The discussion goes into a few different directions than originally intended, but hopefully this discussion will help you when driving on track. You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your c...

WOOT 0229: The Suicide Squad and Comparing the MCU and DCEU
August 25, 2021 07:30 - 2 hours - 110 MBWOOT Stands for Way Off Our (normal) Topic so this is NOT a driving or racing episode What began as a simple review of James Gunn's new movie The Suicide Squad quickly became a debate of the DC Extended Universe and the MCU from Marvel. Benny and Alex return to their WOOT origin and feel Bill is biased against the DCEU. So we rank all the DCEU and the MCU movies to date and discuss the upcoming movies in both series. We also had a short discussion of the first three Marvel tv shows on D...
DwD 0228: Why Race Cars Don't have Airbags or Steering Wheel Locks
August 24, 2021 07:30 - 8 minutes - 7.55 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we go over why most of our racing series require the steering wheel lock to be removed from the vehicle and why airbags are not used in race cars. Apparently, the police were in the area during our discussion, apologies for the sirens. Neither of these will help you on track in a race car and both can actually hurt you if left in place.

August 23, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBWe finally have the whole El Jeffe team together to discuss our all ladies piloted team. Elizabeth and Audra joined Jennifer and Vicki to talk about the race, how things went over the weekend and if/when the ladies will be returning to the track together. The results of the race were exceptional. The only issues we had that were racing related were due to the initial issue we fixed on Saturday. Considering that this was Audra’s first ever wheel to wheel race and Elizabeth had only entere...
DwD 0226: Adapting a Car to the Driver or the Driver to the Car
August 16, 2021 19:02 - 28 minutes - 22.9 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we discuss the mutual ideas of adapting a car to a driver and adapting your driving to the car. Both of these are keys to improving your performance at and especially during a race. We even have a great time with Vicki and Ben bulldozing each other several times in a row. Lol. We lost the last few seconds so this one ends a bit more abruptly than we had hoped.

Vicki and Jen go over some of the highs and lows of the race on this episode. We are hopeful for a part 2 with Audra and Elizabeth, and perhaps even Alan, to go over their thoughts on the weekend. The El Jeffe race truck stumbled a bit at the beginning of the weekend, but we were able to work through the problem eventually with a bit of help from our friend...
DwD 0223: Tossing a Car Into a Turn - Jargon 101
August 11, 2021 19:00 - 9 minutes - 8.05 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we cover the new to Jennifer term of tossing a car into a turn. While it seems to be losing popularity, we have heard it a few times at the track in the paddock, so in our pursuit of not looking like we don't know anything, we thought we would cover it here. We then move into a discussion of driving styles and choices that may help you as well. A link to the episode: https://tinyurl.com/DwD223

DwD 0220: Jargon 101: What is a Log Book and What Does It Entail
August 03, 2021 07:30 - 9 minutes - 7.91 MBOn this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we go into what is meant by log booking or having a race car that is log booked. It is really not terribly complicated but it is something that you may eventually need to do and it is always better to not sound uninformed. Let us do that for you, lol. (PS It turns out we do have a log book from Lucky Dog, we just didn't know that was what it was.) You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast...

GHIT 0215: GHIT Host/Driver Updated Introductions - Alan
July 26, 2021 18:08 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBIt has been several years since we did our host/driver introductions and we thought we’d update our newer listeners with a bit of background from each of our hosts.

As always, our motto of “if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing” applies to our team, our cars, and his dri...

July 12, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBIt has been several years since we did our host/driver introductions and we thought we’d update our newer listeners with a bit of background from each of our hosts.

June 21, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 75 MB“Tony Stark” was the obvious lead in to this episode with PGR Racing and their EV racing car that recently competed in the 2021 One Lap of America. On this episode, Andrew DeKoning and Chad Martin go into the pluses and minuses of racing an electric vehicle in the One Lap of America and racing an EV in general. We really had no reference to racing an EV, except for those unfounded rumors on several golf courses. Bill was stuck late at work so he sounds a bit “tinny” for most of this episo...
