Slow In Fast Out(?)

Truth or Fiction

vs.

Fast Out

DwD 0282: Slow In Fast Out – Truth or Fiction

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we discuss the often referred to concept of “slow in, fast out” for turns especially early in your high performance driving career.  As with most aspects of driving, this is a generic truth but not a 100% principle to carry with you for every situation and every turn.  The ability to understand when and where to follow and when and where to deviate from the general fundamentals is one of the more significant stages that a driver progresses through.  The discussion then goes into several other areas of “rules” and how/when to break them as you progress.

If you would be interested in helping grow our sport of high performance driving and our podcast:

You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice. This includes the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc. Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating, that would be great. Even better, a podcast review, we would greatly appreciate it. This would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving.

For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is very easy.  If you go to your podcast library, under shows and click on the podcast you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

PS  Please don’t forget that if you are looking to add an Apex Pro to your driving telemetry system, don’t forget to use our discount code for all Apex Pro systems you will receive a free Windshield Suction Cup Mount for the system, a savings of $40.  Just enter the code “ghitlikesapex!” when you order.  They are a great system and truly invaluable in safely increasing your speed on track and/or autocross etc.

WOOT 0281 (Spoiler Filled) We review Spiderman: No Way Home and Most of 2021’s Movies

2021 Movie Review

WOOT 0281:  (Spoiler Filled)  We review Spiderman:  No Way Home and Most of 2021’s Movies (& The Matrix Resurrections)

It has been quite a year and we decided to review the recent Spiderman:  No Way Home movie and then we go into many of the other movies that we went to this year including Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and all other MCU and DCEU and related movies and TV shows including The Matrix Resurrections.  We then go to ranking the various movies and shows for 2021.  Then we go to each of our overall top 5 movies for the year and there was a lot of disagreements and discussions in this area.  We also look forward to the upcoming MCU and DCEU releases that are scheduled for the upcoming year plus a bit.  After that we then say goodbye to the lovely Vicki and go into the new Matrix movie Resurrections.  The movie seems to be very divisive and we have quite strong views on this reboot of the Matrix.

Highlights for this No Way Home and 2021 Movie Review episode are:

1)  Spiderman:  No Way Home is the beginning of the episode and we then have to walk Alex off the Amazing Spiderman cliff.  Vicki gets a bit confused over some of the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies.  We then debate the best movie Spiderman.

2)  Alex is firmly on the side of Andrew Garfield and also says the  Venom movies are good, so we question most of his opinions, lol.

3)  Alex’s top 5 all time MCU movies starts a war and then the discussion of each of our MCU Top 5 movies of all time.

4)  Then we turn to the order of each of the MCU and DCEU movies and shows for 2021.  We agreed on one movie amongst us, lol.

5)  A quick review of The Witcher season two.

6)  If you are looking for some ideas for movies and TV shows, we also go into our top 5 movies and TV shows of 2021 that we would recommend to everyone.

7)  What about what is upcoming and scheduled?  It is in here too.  Alex, as always, stays positive.  It was great knowing him on the podcast, lol.

Highlights for this episode are:

1)  Add another item to the things not to Google, the original Facebook group title was Lemons Party, No Not That Kind of Party

2)  We answer Ben’s write in question of how Scott started out racing dirt tracks and when/if he will return.  I think Ben may be looking to scratch an itch.

3)  Scott’s endurance racing plans and interests, as well as a summary of some of the endurance racing highlights he has experiences so far.

4)  Sometimes people will ask what do you get out of racing.  Scott has a great story the describes the Spidey Sense that many drivers develop from racing on track.  This also helps with street driving, especially for the newer drivers on your team or family.

5)  We put out an APB for Aaron who we have lost track of since the summer.

6)  Stories of how Derek’s clown shoes took out a potentially class winning Mini at PittRace.

7)  Ton’s of pressure was applied when we ask Scott some of the best themes that come to mind.  We also discuss what makes a great theme for those looking to enter a race.  Also, what would seem to be an initially great theme but really isn’t.

To follow Scott’s exploits:

Pedal Application and Release

Foot Pedal

DwD 0274:  Pedal Application and Release

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we go into an aspect of the smooth is fast principle by going into the ways that each of us apply and release the throttle (or gas pedal) and the brake pedals.  To the surprise of no one, Ben is almost a 100% full hammer down. On the other hand, our ladies have a bit of a different practice at this point in their driving.  We then try to discuss when and where to apply and release the gas and brake and at what rate.  Again, one size may not fit all instances and all cars.  This seems to be a theme recently.  Lol.

Determining the Rain Line

DwD 0279: Determining the Rain Line

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, Alex joins us to help define what the rain line is on a track and how to find it on a track, especially when it is our first time at a track.  The discussion wanders a bit, but all of it should help you in determining the rain line and allow you to optimize it to that specific day’s track conditions and your car.
