Catching a Car –

FWD vs RWD – This one goes way, way, way off topic

Off the rails

DwD 0389:  Catching a Car – FWD vs RWD – This one goes way, way, way off topic

While we often talk about car control, we have yet to really discuss the differences between catching a car that is front wheel drive vs catching a car that is rear wheel drive.  During the discussion, something comes up that Vicki does on track that totally derails the rest of the discussion.  We will likely have to come back to this topic in another DwD or a guest appearance.  Stay tuned for the first ever intervention on our podcast and the first time Bill is speechless.

Tire Mounting and Balancing

Tire Balance

DwD 0385:  Tire Mounting and Balancing – For The Track

For this episode, we go over what to do and what to look out for when mounting and balancing your tires, especially for track use.  As with most of high performance driving, we are pushing the tire and wheel/rim more than is “normal” and therefore we are more sensitive to certain aspects and maintenance practices than a normal, daily driven vehicle.  We talk about several things to look for and look out for when having your tires mounted and balanced or even when doing it yourself.  There is one key aspect that we look out for more than any other.  (You didn’t think we were going to tell you here without a download did you?  Lol)

One of the highlights of the GridLife event at Lime Rock was finally meeting Justin Okamoto.  Justin is relatively new to racing his own vehicles but has been associated with motorsports for well over a decade.  He recently graduated from the GridLife HPDE sessions. He has begun racing his BMW E36 3 Series car in their Club TR Time Attack series.  Justin has also given back to the series and works in the grid and paddock areas with the GridLife team.  In addition to his racing, Justin also started “Cars For The Cure” a 501 C3 nonprofit charity in honor of his mother that is aimed at helping to assist families with dealing with cancer.
