Jargon 101:  What is a “Real Racer”

or a “Try Hard” driver/racer

Real Racers

DwD 412:  Jargon 101:  What is a “Real Racer” or a “Try Hard” driver/racer

When in a paddock, you will often hear people talking about real racer or racers or try hards on the track.  While this is something most will look admirably towards being or becoming, in most cases this discussion is 100% facetious and derogatory.  We discuss what brings upon this impression and alternative ways to think about driving and racing that we think will increase the enjoyment of driving for everyone.

In spite of everything that our team knows, for some reason “they” left Ben and Bill alone again for another episode of Dominating with Dawson.  It all started well enough and then…..  We apologize ahead of time.

GHIT 0411:  Adam Owens Rejoins Us For Another Lap

Adam Owens is a friend we met a while back. Originally, he came on as a relatively newbie racer in our World Famous Racing 101 series two years ago.  We catch up with how his racing has been going since and how he progressed into at least Racing 201+.  Adam has been consistently renting seats in endurance racing with the Boston Whiners.  While most of his racing seat time is in wheel-to-wheel racing, he has also been to several high performance driving events to further refine his driving skill.  During this episode, we talk about what he has found to work for him and several of the skills he sees as having helped him on track and several that could be further improved.  We also compare some of the differences between the different racing organizations and tracks that we have attended.

Some great discussion and great tips to improve everyone’s on track performance.

Tire Pressure Optimization to Conditions

Tire Pressure

DwD 0409:  Tire Pressure Optimization to Track Conditions

On this Dominating with Dawson, we try to go over how to adjust the tire pressure of your tires when on track and the conditions change.  We also get into several of the factors that can impact the absolute tire pressure as well as the relative tire pressure.  This is likely another subject that will require several visits, but we hope this would be a good review and potential resource for when your track visit is exceptionally hot, cold, or wet.  We often hear several theories of how to adjust the tires under different conditions and try to give a logical method that may allow you to determine if your tire pressure need to be increased of decreased. 

As a bonus, we go into our thoughts on how to….
