Steering Wheel Grip Pressure

DwD 0459: Steering Wheel Grip Pressure – More is not Better

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, Jeremy joins in to discuss one of the aspects of driving that is often neglected and can be holding you back: the grip pressure that you use to hold the steering wheel. This can impact your response speed on track and create a lot of fatigue in your hands, forearms, and shoulders. Another aspect of this is the harder you grip something, the less sensitive you are to the inputs that you will receive through the wheel. This last aspect may be holding your driving back more than you can imagine.

GHIT 0458: Passing Series – Part 2 of Many

Sometimes life gets in the way of great podcasts. And sometimes it gets in the way of our podcasts. This is a long overdue part 2 of our series on passing with guest hosts Ben Dawson and returning guest Blake Fields. For this episode we approach the concepts related with passing cars that have a similar pace overall and some ideas on capitalizing on areas of relative weakness that always exist. We then cover several things that should be avoided when trying to make a pass. The third aspect of passing that we cover is ways to make the pass stick and avoid the dreaded re-pass.

Please let us know if we missed something or if there is an aspect that could add to the discussion and we will include that in part 3 for this important topic.

What to Do after an Accident

DwD 0453: What to Do after an Accident

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we talk about what to do and what not to do after having an accident on track. You may be surprised by what we have seen and what has been done after an accident. There are many things to do while still being on the track and even more things that you should do after removing you and your car from the track. And a few good stories about what not to do, lol.

Plus Ben calls out the Jabroni that may be inside you and then eventually we discuss the HBO show “The Wire”. Where else can you find this type of racing related information.

DwD 0453: What to Do after a Racing Incident

Fire Laps

Converts Telemetry Data into Useful Actionable Information Easily and Quickly

GHiT 0452: Fire Laps Converts Telemetry Data into Useful Actionable Information Easily and Quickly

Do you collect data and never use it or have time to use it? Is data analysis almost another job at the track? Fire Laps may be what you need. Quick collection & automatic analysis. Enter “GHiT” and you will get a free 3-months onto your annual membership.

David and Daniel from Fire Laps join us to discuss their new website that Bill is SOOOOO excited to use. Fire Laps allows the input of telemetry data from a wide and growing variety of systems and then uses a ton of advanced algorithms and machine learning to translate the 1’s and 0’s or the “squiggly lines” that we usually get from our very expensive telemetry systems. The software then compares your data with itself and the data of other similar vehicles to formulate a prioritized and actionable series of alternative track lines and pedal inputs to lead to a safer and faster way around the track. So, does Fire Laps lead to faster times? Yes! Does it present the data from multiple systems in a single user-friendly interface? Yes! Can you compare your data to others on the systems, friends and otherwise? Yes! Plus a ton more. The software is growing in capability very quickly and we cannot wait to see what other features will be added in the coming weeks and months.

PS Fire Laps is useful to the “spreadsheet” people out there but may be even more useful to the more visual/artistic drivers and teams.

If this sounds like something that you or your team needs, Fire Laps has provided a code for you. Please enter “GHiT” as your promo code upon registration and you will get a free 3-month extension on your first annual membership.

DwD 0451: Hand Signals for the Track

On this Dominating with Dawson, we talk about several of the more common hand signals that are used on track. While hand signals are much more common, and usually required, at HPDE events, they can be used while racing to the advantage of both cars and drivers.
