Defending a Pass Attempt

DwD 0422:  Defending a Pass Attempt

We have a passing series that we started last year and will resume soon, but we have not talked a great deal about defending a pass.  In this part one episode, we go over a few ideas of what to do and what not to do.  It is very obvious that there are significant differences in our hosts approach that is reflected by their relative racing skill progression.  There is so much to this topic, we have really only started.

So, what is you favorite way to defend a pass on track OR what is your least favorite technique that others have used against you?  (or both!)

GHIT 0421:  Dillon “EJ2 Track Rat” Brennan Returns for a Second Lap

We are long overdue in having Dillon back onto the podcast.  Dillon was one of our early guests and is a staple at the local NASA Northeast events in Honda Challenge and as an instructor.  Don’t forget to tune into Dillon’s EJ2 Track Rat YouTube channel and watch and learn how to prep a race car very well, yet quite frugally.  During this episode we talk to Dillon about his plans for creating a race car for the NASA Northeast volunteers and friends to get out on track and enjoy racing.  We also get into his current projects and preparations for the upcoming national event this summer at PittRace.  We will also be going to nationals with some friends to meet and root for a bunch of racing friends.

As a bonus, we go over a stress free way to decide on a baby name.  What other racing podcast gives you these kinds of insights?  What we do for our listeners, lol.

Learned Since DwD? We did

learned from DwD

DwD 0420:  What Have We Learned Since DwD’s Started

The scariest question Bill has ever attempted.  We ask Jennifer, Vicki, and Ben what they have learned since we started the Dominating with Dawson series.  Do we hear crickets?  Did we help any of us?  And the biggest concern, did Ben learn anything?  This could be the shortest episode ever.  Is it? So what is the biggest thing that you have Learned Since DwD series started on the podcast?  Cue the cricket sound machine.

WindShadow Studios – Mike Woeller

Wind Shadow

GHIT 0419:  WindShadow Studios Mike Woeller

Want to take some better pictures of you or your team at the track?  We do, so we asked for a few tips and tricks from Mike Woeller.  Mike started as a journalist and then taught photography.  He then gradually shifted his focus to motorsports photography and started WindShadow Studios.  Mike can be seen at a variety of tracks in the northeast and is one of the primary sources of track photos for a variety of series in the region.  While we aren’t ever going to take photos as well as Mike, we learned a few things and will definitely be a bit better next season.

What is Race Craft and Favorite Examples

race craft

DwD 0418:  Jargon 101:  What is Race Craft and Favorite Examples

Ben, Jeremy, and Bill are unsupervised again this week, so why not end this session with a clean and simple Jargon episode.  Ever wonder what race craft is?  Much like defining “time”, race craft is often understood but difficult to describe.  If you want to listen to us struggle, this may be the episode for you.

Did we get it right?  If not, let us know.

Also, Read and Blake, you have been challenged.

We also go into our favorite or best part of race craft.  So, what is yours?
