GHIT 0355: Cameron Conover from Conover Motorsports

Cameron Conover has been working in motorsports for two decades and Conover Motorsports offers sales and service support of the entire RaceCapture portfolio, as well as mechanical support for your vehicle. We worked with Cameron on our two RaceCapture installations and as always, if we can do it, anyone can.

With the recent upgrade in the connectors, it is even easier to install and connect a system and any sensors that you may wish to install into your race car. Some of the capabilities that RaceCapture offers are real time telemetry in both the car and the paddock, as well as the ability to add several options available including real time tire temperature monitoring (up to 16 channels per tire), shift lights, pressure and temperature of any fluid or system, and the ability to message to and from the car when on track. In spite of some of our stumbling explanations (difficult in an audio only environment), the system offers a tremendous amount of capability and is simple to install and use.

If this sounds like something that may help your driving and racing, contact Cameron and tell him GHiT sent you to save you zero dollars, lol.

Track Day at the NY Safety Track

GHIT 0352: Our Track Day at the NY Safety Track

When we were invited to a new track for an HPDE we did what we always say to do – “say yes” and thank you. Our drivers for the event were Vicki, Alan, and Jen. Bill was there primarily to help instruct and to start breaking in our new race car. Even better, Kyle Lockrow said he wanted to come over and help out in any way. Finally, someone to instruct Vicki, lol. One this episode, we talk about prepping our three cars, how is this new to us track, and the event overall. We had a few mechanical issues with our cars, but overall the event was great and well worth going, especially if you are in the area. Special thanks to Mario and Ian Korf for setting up this event.

What is rotation – Part 4

DwD 0351: What is rotation – Part 4 or maybe more?

We are going to take advantage of this week’s Judge Jeremy covering for Ben and go into car rotation for at least the fourth time. We try to discuss what people are talking about when they refer to a car having good or bad rotation or how they were able to get the car to rotate through a turn. The last time we looked, there are several potential axes of rotation, and many/most can result in a poor or expensive outcome. Once again, this is a topic that we may need to revisit in a future episode, lol, but we give it another good try and did a lot better than some of our previous discussions.

If you would like to help grow our sport and this podcast:

You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice. This includes the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc. Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating, that we would appreciate that very much. Even better, a podcast review, would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving. We would really appreciate it.

For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is amazingly easy. If you go to your podcast library, look under shows. Then click on this podcast. Here you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights for this episode include:

1) We start off with a simple one, how to improve when your current limit is self-imposed by your natural tendency towards self-preservation and what can be helpful in pushing through this ever so common barrier.

2) When should an instructor move from an instructing role to a coaching role with a student or client.

3) What to look at when looking at your data and video as your driving skill improves. (and overthinking it like Reese).

4) Advice to break through a plateau.

5) What to look at when reviewing your in-car video at a track.

6) The difference between being Smooth vs being Fast and Smooth

7) Using anticipation vs reaction as well as the subtle differences between having an expectation versus anticipation.

8) Some ideas on how to help a student who is lacking confidence or has had a recent bad experience on track.

9) Vicki is still working on getting an understanding of what the friction circle is and several ways for what to look for and how to interpret it best.

As always, we had some great discussion with Ross on related areas and some unrelated areas.
