Seat Fitment and Adjustment

DwD 0494:  Seat Fitment and Adjustment

In this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we go over the importance of properly installing and selecting a racing seat.  While many endurance teams are forced into making compromises for all drivers’ sizes and shapes, it is more ideal to take extra time and make sure the seat and the installation are perfect for a single driver car.  We do go into some of the options and strategies to minimize any issues when in a team situation.

Minimizing Distance vs Maximizing a Turn’s Min Speed

DwD 0486:  Minimizing Distance vs Maximizing a Turn’s Min Speed

In Autocross, it is often correct to minimize distance to improve your time.  On track, it is a bit more complicated due to the longer duration of the turns and the higher speeds and higher variation of speeds.  During this episode, Ben and Bill talk through a few of the aspects of the track that can impact when to minimize distance and when to move your min speed in a turn to improve your overall lap time.  Part 1 of many.

DwD 0484:  How to Tell if You are Under Driving On Track

By poplar demand, we have a part two to our earlier DwD.  Ben was concerned with making sure that everyone wasn’t under driving just as much as he was concerned about over driving.  We also have a quick listener comment on our earlier podcast episode about driving with bench seats.  Thanks again.

GHiT 0482:  Recap of GridLife NJMP 2023 and Our First Time Working with a Coach – Miss Jackie

What a great weekend we had at the recent GridLife NJMP 2023.  Our team worked with Jackie Andrews as our coach for the Grid Life event at NJMP.  Jeremy and Nick were in the advanced HPDE group in their E46 BMW 3-series street’ish cars.  Jennifer was in our B Spec Fit in HPDE and Vicki was in HPDE in our new E46 race car but switched to our Honda Fit when we had a mechanical issue.  Bill was also in the B Spec Fit and competed in the Sundae Cup series, securing a solid last place.
