Downshifting in a Turn

DwD 0496:  Downshifting in a Turn

One of the issues that several of our teams’ drivers have had is the proper process and timing when downshifting in a manual car at a turn, especially a high speed turn.  During this episode, Ben goes into a proper sequence of your hands and feet during a turn where downshifting is required.  Hopefully, this will help you as you progress in driving on track with a manual transmission.

Seat Fitment and Adjustment

OMP Seat

DwD 0494:  Seat Fitment and Adjustment

In this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we go over the importance of properly installing and selecting a racing seat.  While many endurance teams are forced into making compromises for all drivers’ sizes and shapes, it is more ideal to take extra time and make sure the seat and the installation are perfect for a single driver car.  We do go into some of the options and strategies to minimize any issues when in a team situation.

GHiT 0493:  Lemons Judge Series – Judge Craig “Craiggers” Ledbetter

The Lemons Judge series continues with Judge Craiggers.  He is a racer and a judge and is in need of coming to our garage to help with all of our Honda race cars.  In spite of having been on two times previously, he agreed to come back on for the judge series.  We talked about setting up a seat swap site and then stumble upon the story of Craiggers inviting Ben to his first ever Lemons race.  Details within.

Please welcome Judge Craiggers to the podcast.
