In this Dominating with Dawson episode, we use a recent article by podcast friend Ross Bentley for this second installment of the If-Then Game. On this week’s episode, we focus on corner entry. Join us and play along with our two contestants from the Garage Heroes In Training Team. We are sure this will go into global syndication soon, lol. It ends early due to a recording issue, but is definitely worth a listen.

Special thanks to Ross Bentley for letting us use his article as a basis for this episode.

Slow In Fast Out(?)

Truth or Fiction

DwD 0282: Slow In Fast Out – Truth or Fiction

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we discuss the often referred to concept of “slow in, fast out” for turns especially early in your high performance driving career. As with most aspects of driving, this is a generic truth but not a 100% principle to carry with you for every situation and every turn. The ability to understand when and where to follow and when and where to deviate from the general fundamentals is one of the more significant stages that a driver progresses through. The discussion then goes into several other areas of “rules” and how/when to break them as you progress.

Determining the Rain Line

DwD 0279: Determining the Rain Line

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, Alex joins us to help define what the rain line is on a track and how to find it on a track, especially when it is our first time at a track. The discussion wanders a bit, but all of it should help you in determining the rain line and allow you to optimize it to that specific day’s track conditions and your car.

What to Do In A Turn

DwD 0266: What to Do In A Turn

On this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we start off with a poor word choice and make the best of it. The real subject for this episode is what to pay attention to in a turn from pre-turn in all the way through track out. While there are many things to do and even more potential things to possibly do. We try to cover several of the fundamental things to do. also, what to look at during this complex series of events and inputs that form the key to high performance driving and racing. This has the biggest shocking revelation in the history of our Dominating with Dawson series. Did it surprise you as much as Bill?
