The Wilson sisters — Three Wilson Sisters Raced This Year

Highlights for this episode are:

1) Alan now organizes, preps, and runs his own car, the MooStang. We learn how this went for his first season and what we are still working on.

2) Looking back at where we were going into this season versus where we are now, there has been a ton of progress.

3) While the goals we all had were great, some of the discussion helps us to better define both the progress we made, as well as refining the path forward from here.

4) We did a great job of getting a bunch of new people to the track and several drivers to the track that raced with other teams. That is the primary reason we started this podcast and is fantastic!

5) Guess who says “I’m not just here for the Slurpees, lol”. Not a big surprise for you long time home gamers.

6) We all are looking forward to trying as many different tracks and racing series as we can this year and maybe for the first time working with a coach at the track.

7) We managed to make a Max Headroom reference within the episode. You never know where we may wander.

8) Vicki and Alan cannot seem to remember when they each earned their black flags this year. We also had a few black flags from several of our friends that drive with us this year. Notably, none of our all ladies team earned a flag a the Thompson event.

9) Every year we go over what issues our cars had at the track and what we did (or are going to do) to resolve the issue long term.

10) We have determined a key indicator that implies that a specific spare part is required for our race cars.

11) Tips we learned on testing and replacing wheel studs for our cars.

12) Vicki is bored winning???

13) Our traditional Good, Bad, and the Ugly for the 2021 season.

As the year wraps up, we review how our 2020 racing season went and what goals we would like to do and accomplish in 2021.Â Obviously, the year did not go as we had hoped or planned with the COVID pandemic impacting normal life routine. But we did make some significant growth and made the best out of a horrible situation.Â Goal making is one thing that is very easy to do, but also very easy to skip. However, we have found it to be very beneficial to our growth as racers as well as is our personal and professional lives.Â Â

On our Dominating with Dawson segment, we go over what it means to be driving at the limit, what is the limit, and how to get closer and closer to the limit safely and effectively.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights from this episode include:

1) We start of looking at what our goals were for 2020 and how we did

2)Â The next segment covers what we want to accomplish going into 2021. (including items that we would like to improve about our driving and our team.)

3) We then begin to look at things that went well this year and things we could have done better.

4) It probably wouldnât be a podcast without our doing a Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, so we did.

5)Â The final step was we tried to grade our year and then determine a few things that would define a successful year for ourselves and the team.

6) We did forget to go into The Mirror that we added to aid us in getting in better shape for racing, so we added it as a bonus section after the credits.
