Rachel Thurow – Drag Racing and Beyond

Rachel spoon

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).

Race Recap:  NJMP 2023

with the 24 Hours of Lemons

GHiT 0468:  Race Recap:  NJMP 2023 with the 24 Hours of Lemons

We try to record our wrap up episodes as quickly as possible, but this may have been a bit too quickly as most/all of us were still in zombie mode.  For this race, we raced the El Jeffe Chevy S-10/Isuzu Hombre trophy truck and our 1993 EG Civic.  In addition, we were also acting as ambassadors for two different entries, a 1991 BMW 535, and our friends (and future podcast guests) from Waka Motorsports in their Civic.  Also, during the weekend, we ran into a long lost missing friend and prior NJMP GHiT racing teammate Aaron who was working with another all ladies team that was fielding two cars for the Jessi Combs Foundation

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.
