GHiT 0469:  Rachel Thurow – Drag Racing and Beyond

Rachel Thurow joins the podcast this week to discuss her drag racing program and rapidly expanding racing in virtually any discipline.  If there is one thing we love it is cross training and enjoying you car in as many ways as possible.  Rachel is probably the first primary drag racing guest so Vicki gets very excited to investigate something we haven’t done.  Yet.  We had great fun talking with Rachel and see a lot of things in common and potential for future plans (and bad decisions).

How to Recover after Missing a Corner on Track

DwD 0467:  How to Recover after Missing a Corner on Track

We try to get Ben to imagine what he would do if he ever missed a corner on track.  There are ways to minimize the impact and there are definitely ways to compound the mistake and lose more time or the race, or even your car.  There are a ton of factors within the race that will also affect how you should recover or even if you can recover.

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.

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.
