2022 Goal Review and our 2023 Goals

GHIT 0417: GHiT Goal Review – We Review 2022 and our Goals for 2023

Our team goes over our racing season for 2022 and how we did compared to our goals for the year. In this annual review, we often find out we did well in many areas and totally blew it in others. This year was no exception, lol. We had Alan, Jennifer, Vicki, and Bill, as always, but Jeremy decided to join in for the fun and plan his 2023 with us. We do this every year and find that it helps. Some of the goals are more plans and some of them are usually pretty big stretches for us. But, you never know what you can do until you try. As a bonus, we look back at 2022 from a big picture perspective and see that we are still “In Training”. (always will be!)

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.
