GridLife NJMP 2022 Event

with E1R’s Chris and Chrissy

GHIT 0359 GridLife’s NJMP 2022 Event with E1R’s Chris and Chrissy

We were finally able to go to our first GridLife event this year at NJMP and to make it even better we were there with our friends from the Everyone Racers podcast Chris and Chrissy. Since we were all together, we decided to do a podcast mashup.

We were split up among the intermediate and advanced HPDE groups for this weekend. Chris was looking to test and tune their latest K swapped 1993 Honda Civic. Chrissy wanted to gain overall speed and confidence. Jennifer was there to get a bit more time and comfort driving our front wheel drive Civic. Vicki was going to drive our 2019 Mazda Miata on track for the first time and Bill was looking to help anyone he could at this event. In addition, we were finally going to meet our friends at GridLife, as well as Ross Bentley and Peter Krause. What could be better. Oh, that’s right, the weather turned us into baked potatoes as this was the hottest track event that we have ever attended.

Rally Master Jeff Stobbs returns to report in live from the awards ceremony of the 2022 Rust Belt RambleRust Belt Ramble Rally between Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, The year there was a ceremony for dearly departed car makes of the past. We cover highlights of the trip as well as many of the entries. We are then joined by Finn, from The Car Farm channel on YouTube. They entered the rally in their Buick Grand National. Why is a Buick Grand National on a Lemons Rally. Listen to find out.

One of the highlights from this event is the introduction of the Lemons Rally grill badges. The badges actually began at the last rally, but we didn’t do a good job of interviewing so its new to us. Lol. Vicki also gets a few tips on what to do for her first upcoming rally this fall.

Overdoing It & Potential Burnout

DwD 0354: Overdoing It and Leading to Potential Burnout

As is often the case, we sometimes show you what not to do. This time, it was after three straight race weekends in multiple states that Bill entered a zombie state. This is not optimal for performance or enjoyment and can not only turn a fun recreational past time into a large effort/struggle, but can also impact your performance and potentially the personal safety through car preparation and/or your driving. We illustrate this by our recent poor performance after our last endurance race. It is still a good idea to treat a HPDE/race weekend as a sporting event and prepare for it accordingly, including food, drink, and sleep. Ben offers up several indicators that can help you self diagnose when this may be happening to you at an event.

Track Day at the NY Safety Track

GHIT 0352: Our Track Day at the NY Safety Track

When we were invited to a new track for an HPDE we did what we always say to do – “say yes” and thank you. Our drivers for the event were Vicki, Alan, and Jen. Bill was there primarily to help instruct and to start breaking in our new race car. Even better, Kyle Lockrow said he wanted to come over and help out in any way. Finally, someone to instruct Vicki, lol. One this episode, we talk about prepping our three cars, how is this new to us track, and the event overall. We had a few mechanical issues with our cars, but overall the event was great and well worth going, especially if you are in the area. Special thanks to Mario and Ian Korf for setting up this event.

What is rotation – Part 4

DwD 0351: What is rotation – Part 4 or maybe more?

We are going to take advantage of this week’s Judge Jeremy covering for Ben and go into car rotation for at least the fourth time. We try to discuss what people are talking about when they refer to a car having good or bad rotation or how they were able to get the car to rotate through a turn. The last time we looked, there are several potential axes of rotation, and many/most can result in a poor or expensive outcome. Once again, this is a topic that we may need to revisit in a future episode, lol, but we give it another good try and did a lot better than some of our previous discussions.
