DwD 0337:  Dashes, Switches, and Control Panels

Vicki has been hard at work upgrading our dashboard and controls in our Honda Civic race car.  She also has a favorite past time at a track by looking into each car and trailer set up to see what others have done and ideas that would improve our cars (and trailers).  We thought it might be a good thing to discuss our thoughts on control panels and provide a list of things that we like to see on a car and have found to be helpful in maintaining the car or preventing the car from having bigger issues.  On this episode Ben was again joined by guest judge Jeremy, Vicki, and Bill.

If you would like to comment on a favorite gauge, switch, dash, etc. that we may have overlooked, please send it to us at [email protected] or on our Instagram @GarageHeroesInTraining. 

Even better send in a photo of a favorite dashboard, or a least favorite dashboard you may have or “seen”, lol.
