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.

Tiffany and Justin Kelly On Shifter Karts

– Return for a Second Lap

Tiffany and Justin

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.

Is Perfection Keeping You From Starting

Perfection

DwD 0446:  Is Perfection Keeping You From Starting

On this episode we talk about what we see as the second most frequent issue that we see that keeps people from going on track or from autocrossing etc.  That is the pursuit of perfection in preparation.  We go over the base level of driving and car preparation to get started and several of the most frequent “reasons” that the person can’t start until its done.  This includes big brake kits, turbo additions, engine swaps, racing slicks, and many, many others.  (The most prominent reason that we see is that the person did not know it was possible.  Since you ae reading this, you likely know that everyone is welcome to come out and get started.)

Track Markers – Their Use and Options

DwD 0442:  Track Markers – Their Use and Options

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we go into how to determine what markers to use when on track and some of our personal preferences for selecting markers.  Initially, Ben goes into the way that he prepares for an upcoming track and how he uses this preparation to get his markers ahead of even arriving at the track.  The importance of markers can vary depending on the type of driver that you are, but even the most “feel” oriented driver can always use track markers to gain additional speed and comfort when in track, especially a new to them track.

DwD 0440:  Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) On Track

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, Blake fills in for Ben and we discuss the proper use of ABS systems on a race track.  There are several advantages to using ABS on track, especially when a track is wet, but there are also a few things to be aware of and even potentially better ways to drive than using the ABS system.  Ben does make a guest appearance at the end to add to the discussion, so you still get your does of the Dominator.
