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. It sounds like we missed a good rally and some bad food. Oh, and Bill forgot his microphone cord so he decided to speak through a paper towel roll, as is tradition on endurance racing podcasts across the country. And the world.

Plus we have one entrant request and make two car entry requests for a future rally.

Best Car Mods to Go Faster

DwD 0328: Best Car Mods to Go Faster – With Guest DwD Judge Tyler

Ben is joined by honorary guest DwD Judge Tyler for a special Dominating with Dawson where we go over what are the best things you can modify in your car to perform better. Ben goes with brakes pads and brake fluid upgrades. Tyler goes with upgraded tires. While both of these are great additions, Bill and Vicki disagree slightly. If we were playing Family Feud, brake pads and fluid would be #2. Tires a close #3. We always like keeping you in suspense so the correct car mods answer is……..

John Kolesa from AER

GHIT 0327: John Kolesa on AER (American Endurance Racing)

John Kolesa started American Endurance Racing several years ago and we had a great time racing with the series at PittRace. So we had to have him on to officially introduce everyone to the series. 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 more open to different cars and modified cars. AER has a simpler classing process that uses qualifying times to initially calls cars and then can re-classify cars throughout the weekend if there are drivers with significant range of skills on a team. The top class is an exhibition class that is based on a power to weight basis. The technology that AER uses during the race weekend is among the best we have seen in amateur racing.

Highlights for this episode include:

1) AER’s history, how the series came to be, and why

2) We clarify the classification process that AER uses to set the different levels for the weekend including the top exhibition class for cars faster than they

3) How they try to control costs and the competitive balance by requiring a certain number of pitstops and a minimum stop duration.

4) The series uses RFID stickers to track the car and the individual driver performance and history. In addition, the Flagger system was a welcome addition to our car. It really helped improve the communication between the series and the individual drivers and cars.

5) Upcoming changes and additions to the upcoming races.

6) AER is currently running a special that allows new teams to enter a race weekend and have a reduced cost or even free.

7) We address several of the criticisms and concerns about the series and hope you will feel comfortable entering one of their races yourself.

8) Challenges the series faces with upcoming events and tracks.

9) We speculate on the effect that modern cars may have on grassroots racing in the future.

Driving What You Got

On Track – Two Ways

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 at the time. 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 on track. Most times you have to make the best of it. The discussion also went into going to a track event with almost every one of your daily drivers. Most cars in the current condition and not waiting until you install a blank or add a new blank. In the end, the more seat time you have and the more car behaviors you learn. This allows you to drive and adapt to, the better your skills will be and the faster you will be in a different car or track or weather or tires etc. in the future. Just get started and make the best of any time that you are blessed and able to have on track.

Alex on PittRace with AER and Lemons

GHIT 0325: Race Review – Alex on Our Back to Back Race Weekends at PittRace with AER and Lemons

Alex Levinson drove both weekends for the team from the Skunk Oil Racing/Garage Heroes In Training team and missed our earlier reviews, so he gets to go over both weekends’ trials and tribulations. At the AER event, the team performed well on Saturday and finished P2 in our class and P4 on Sunday. The next weekend at PittRace was a 24 Hours of Lemons race and Alex drove with Dave and Jeremy for the weekend. It all started out well enough, but there were a couple of issues during the Lemons weekend, some minor and some major. Everyone came out safe and sound though.
