Ken Hill on The Fundamentals of Racing

Driving Fundamentals

GHIT 0415:  Ken Hill on The Fundamentals of Racing

A second lap with Ken Hill.  We return to Ken’s concepts of what are the 6 fundamentals of racing on track.  Not only do we review what the fundamentals are, but we also go into the significance of the ordering of the fundamentals.  This was initially based on the work that Ken did to learn the sport as quickly as possible, augmented with the learnings that he had as a driving coach, combined with the teaching philosophy of the real life  “Top Gun”.  We scratch the surface and get as deep as we can in this episode.  We have so many more questions and cannot wait to go further in the upcoming master class that are going to be available from Blayze.

Pre-Pod Question of the episode:  What is the fastest way around a race track?

The Best Track Car

Best car to race

DwD 0414:  The Best Track Car

On this episode, the first Dominating with Dawson of the new year, we try to start of with an easy one and not stir up the internet in any way.  Naturally, we chose to define what is the best track car.  We approach this from the perspective of a first timers’ ideal track car to an intermediate level track car.  We also cover many of the more important considerations to take into account when choosing your best car. 

If you think of a better car or cars, please let us know and we will include this in another discussion in this area.  Also, please be warned, Ben and Bill were joined with Jeremy, but all of them were unattended.  No Jen and No Vicki leads to these debacles, lol.

Please let us know if we missed something or if you have any questions at [email protected].

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.
