GHIT 0411:  Adam Owens Rejoins Us For Another Lap

Adam Owens is a friend we met a while back. Originally, he came on as a relatively newbie racer in our World Famous Racing 101 series two years ago.  We catch up with how his racing has been going since and how he progressed into at least Racing 201+.  Adam has been consistently renting seats in endurance racing with the Boston Whiners.  While most of his racing seat time is in wheel-to-wheel racing, he has also been to several high performance driving events to further refine his driving skill.  During this episode, we talk about what he has found to work for him and several of the skills he sees as having helped him on track and several that could be further improved.  We also compare some of the differences between the different racing organizations and tracks that we have attended.

Some great discussion and great tips to improve everyone’s on track performance.

Tire Pressure Optimization to Conditions

Tire Pressure

DwD 0409:  Tire Pressure Optimization to Track Conditions

On this Dominating with Dawson, we try to go over how to adjust the tire pressure of your tires when on track and the conditions change.  We also get into several of the factors that can impact the absolute tire pressure as well as the relative tire pressure.  This is likely another subject that will require several visits, but we hope this would be a good review and potential resource for when your track visit is exceptionally hot, cold, or wet.  We often hear several theories of how to adjust the tires under different conditions and try to give a logical method that may allow you to determine if your tire pressure need to be increased of decreased. 

As a bonus, we go into our thoughts on how to….

DwD 0399:  Why You Need to Improve Driving Off Line

In the beginning, everyone is obsessively concerned with driving on “the line” when on a track.  During this Dominating with Dawson episode, we talk about the importance of driving off line and getting as good as possible at driving off line.  There are many, many reasons why it is important, and we try to go into several of them including that this is the predominant way to pass other cars on track and how driving off line will augment your car control skills, among many, many others.
