How to Tell if You are Under Driving On Track

DwD 0484:  How to Tell if You are Under Driving On Track

By poplar demand, we have a part two to our earlier DwD.  Ben was concerned with making sure that everyone wasn’t under driving just as much as he was concerned about over driving.  We also have a quick listener comment on our earlier podcast episode about driving with bench seats.  Thanks again.

Double Sucking

DwD 0479:  Double Sucking

What is a DwD without Ben, well we try again here with guests Mental and Jeremy standing in for Ben.  One area we wanted to cover is that there are multiple factors that can affect your absolute and relative performance on track, especially as you progress.  One of the hardest areas we have seen is trying to determine the relative contributions of what part is driver induced and what fraction can be attributed to the car, car setup, and track conditions.  Sometimes it may not be “you”, but even then “you” can often work around as best you can when the car you are in is all you have. Sometimes it can be both, or what we call double sucking.

Overdriving Observations and Indications

DwD 0474:  Overdriving Observations and Indications  

Ben is joined on this episode by both special guests Mental Ward and Santa Jeremy to discuss some indications that you may be overdriving on track.  Ben is a firm believer in driving to the limit but for some of our less experienced listeners driving at the limit can be difficult and sometimes dangerous.  In addition, this is significantly increasing the wear and tear on your car and can impact your team’s ability to successfully complete an endurance race.  Less of a concern for Time Trials and Sprint racing.

How to Recover after Missing a Corner on Track

DwD 0467:  How to Recover after Missing a Corner on Track

We try to get Ben to imagine what he would do if he ever missed a corner on track.  There are ways to minimize the impact and there are definitely ways to compound the mistake and lose more time or the race, or even your car.  There are a ton of factors within the race that will also affect how you should recover or even if you can recover.

Proper Use of a Handbrake On Track

DwD 0465:  Proper Use of a Handbrake On Track

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we talk about what to do and what not to with your handbrake on track.  We also talk about what a handbrake turn is and why drifters use the handbrake to help in their competitions.  Many of our cars do not even have handbrakes, so it is easy to answer for those cars, lol.  Plus we have a bit of story time from many years ago.
