Proper Use of a Handbrake On Track

DwD 0465:  Proper Use of a Handbrake On Track

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we talk about what to do and what not to with your handbrake on track.  We also talk about what a handbrake turn is and why drifters use the handbrake to help in their competitions.  Many of our cars do not even have handbrakes, so it is easy to answer for those cars, lol.  Plus we have a bit of story time from many years ago.

GHiT 0464:  Our Recap of the Lemons Rocky Mountain Breakdown Rally Finally Escapes From Editing Purgatory

Long overdue, we finally finished editing the post Rocky Mountain Breakdown rally review with Rally Master Jeff Stobbs.  Still not sure what happened to the original recording file, but we finally managed to resurrect another great rally review with Jeff. 

Apparently, we have an opening on the team in our editing department, lol.  Sorry for the delay.

Prepping for Their First Endurance Race

GHiT 0462:  Prepping for Their First Endurance Race What to Expect When You Are Unsuspecting with Angry Turtle Racing

We love seeing new people and teams getting out on track and driving or racing.  We especially love seeing friends enjoy themselves.  Angry Turtle Racing is a new endurance racing team with two old friends (Audra and Lisa) and several new friends who are about to race in their first ever endurance race with us at NJMP in two weeks.  We thought it might be helpful to go through some of the questions and preparation tips that we shared on this podcast, and we cannot wait to paddock share with them and help them in any way that we can at NJMP.
