What is a Drivers Meeting

and Why You Should Always Attend

DwD 0362:  Racing 101:  What is a Drivers Meeting and Why You Should Always Attend

In our continuing introduction to racing series and breaking down some of the jargon involved with getting into driving on a track, we talk through with Ben what a drivers meeting is, what is usually covered, and why you should always attend, even if you have been to literally hundreds of them.  We then go into a related communication technique that we use at the track, a common team text thread to communicate to all people at the event.  It is so easy and so very helpful.

Optimal Mirror Positioning

DwD 0360:  Optimal Mirror Positioning Tips

One of the fundamental aspects of racing that everyone agrees upon is the importance of your vision and constantly working to improve it.  Unfortunately, when you are starting out, this is even more important since it is very likely that your relative speed is lower than some of the other more experience drivers on a track and it is demanding both in front of you and behind you.  On this episode, we look at several options for selecting and installing the mirrors, as well as the mirror positioning to help improve your overall vision.

Roles Within a Team

DwD 0357:  Roles Within a Team Defined

It is often said that the key to winning an endurance race is a management problem and not primarily a speed problem.  In this Dominating with Dawson episode, we go over some of the roles for a team that are needed to successfully accomplish a racing or HPDE event.  Each of the roles functions are needed. Team members often will be required to help the team with several roles especially for those who attend events solo.  This episode will help your performance and also make you feel better about being tired after a race weekend.

What is rotation – Part 4

Rotation 3

DwD 0351:  What is rotation – Part 4 or maybe more?

We are going to take advantage of this week’s Judge Jeremy covering for Ben and go into car rotation for at least the fourth time.  We try to discuss what people are talking about when they refer to a car having good or bad rotation or how they were able to get the car to rotate through a turn.  The last time we looked, there are several potential axes of rotation, and many/most can result in a poor or expensive outcome.  Once again, this is a topic that we may need to revisit in a future episode, lol, but we give it another good try and did a lot better than some of our previous discussions.

If you would like to help grow our sport and this 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 we would appreciate that very much.  Even better, a podcast review, would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving. We would really appreciate it.

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