Steering Wheel Grip Pressure

DwD 0459:  Steering Wheel Grip Pressure – More is not Better  

On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, Jeremy joins in to discuss one of the aspects of driving that is often neglected and can be holding you back:  the grip pressure that you use to hold the steering wheel.  This can impact your response speed on track and create a lot of fatigue in your hands, forearms, and shoulders.  Another aspect of this is the harder you grip something, the less sensitive you are to the inputs that you will receive through the wheel.  This last aspect may be holding your driving back more than you can imagine.

GHIT 0458:  Passing Series – Part 2 of Many

GHIT 0458:  Passing Series – Part 2 of Many

Sometimes life gets in the way of great podcasts.  And sometimes it gets in the way of our podcasts.  This is a long overdue part 2 of our series on passing with guest hosts Ben Dawson and returning guest Blake Fields.  For this episode we approach the concepts related with passing cars that have a similar pace overall and some ideas on capitalizing on areas of relative weakness that always exist.  We then cover several things that should be avoided when trying to make a pass.  The third aspect of passing that we cover is ways to make the pass stick and avoid the dreaded re-pass.

Please let us know if we missed something or if there is an aspect that could add to the discussion and we will include that in part 3 for this important topic.

GHiT 0455:  Lisa Keyes Driving Scholarship Winner From Grid Life, GLTC, and Instructor

We first met Lisa Keyes at last year’s GridLife event at NJMP where she was competing in GLTC, lead instructor for the entire event, and trying to survive the 100+F degree weekend.  Luckily, we were able to lure her into  a conversation or two over our much coveted Freezie Pop supply.  During this episode, we go into her driving history and how she came to be driving in GLTC and lead instructor for many GridLife events.  We each shared our EG Honda Civics while at NJMP and tried to catch up with how things have progressed and plans for this year and going forward. PS Lisa made it to Watkins Glen GLTC event last weekend.
