Tiffany and Justin Kelly On Shifter Karts

– Return for a Second Lap

GHiT 0447: Tiffany and Justin Kelly Return for a Second Lap

We catch up with Justin and Tiffany Kelly and learn all about what they have been up to since we last spoke. Their current focus is on shifter karts and instruction. We had never covered shifter karts to this point on the podcast and the performance of a shifter kart almost demands that you grow as a driver quickly. So if you are looking to improve your driving and get into a vehicle that is close to the performance of an Indy car or F1 car at a reasonable price, shifter karts may be for you. And us. Bill is already shopping.

Nik Romano – Suspension 101 – P2

GHiT 0445: Nik Romano from Fast Sideway – Suspension 101 – Part 2

We started our introduction to suspensions on episode 430 with Nik Romano. Nik rejoins for part 2 of our Suspension 101 series. In this episode, we move on from suspension geometry and start to deal with the most important aspect of a suspension : the interaction of the tire with the track. We go into a simple way to test how/if your suspension geometry changes are during its travel up and down (compression and rebound). Next, we go into some of the different types of fixed and adjustable coil overs and how they are constructed and work within the suspension system. We even begin to get into how you can use the suspension to increase grip and then to start to shift the grip around within your car to aid your driving.

We answer the question that has puzzled us since the beginning “why would you want a rear wing on a front wheel drive car”?

Dealing with a Bad Handling Car

DwD 0444: Dealing with a Bad Handling Car

Despite all of our efforts to prepare the ideal car, some of us have had to deal with a car that is ill mannered. (Or at least not ideal to what we as the driver would like). During this episode, we talk about a few of the times that we have been on track in a bad handling car. We then also go into some of the ways to deal with/or drive around the limitations of the car.
