DwD 0370:  Overdriving vs. Underdriving

When trying to improve as a driver there are many instances where the same driver can be overdriving their car and at other points on the track can be underdriving.  In addition, the best of us also can have areas where we do one or the other and our lap times area adversely affected.  For this episode, we talk about some indications of a driver under driving their car and other indications where the driver driving the car.  While people grow in their driver education and skills, most will have a personality predisposition towards one side of the spectrum generally.  We use this episode of DwD to try to explain the jargon and help you determine where and when you may be under or over driving and some things to do to continue to improve.

Our Passing Series – Part 1 of Many

Passing

GHIT 0369:  Passing Series – Part 1 of Many

An episode that has been in the making for well over a year, we finally start our passing series with part one.  Guest hosts are Ben Dawson and returning guest Blake Fields.  For this episode we approach the concept and jargon of passing. Sometimes from the perspective of the passing car and then the car being passed.  The goal is always to do this as safely as possible and with minimal impact to the race of a fellow driver, especially if they are in a different class of the race.  If you think we missed something or have misspoken, please let us know and we will cover that in part 2 and likely 3 for this important topic.

GHIT 0368:  Team Status Update

After having a few inquiries at the track and via social media, we begin to review what we are up to and working on as a team and some of the projects and issue we are working on.  This episode is a partial laundry list of some of the more significant near term items we are working on or pondering, as well as a few of our goals going into the approaching offseason.  At this point, we consider these types of episodes a work in progress and expect them to come out less than weekly, but we hope they help everyone.  Also, please feel free to ask any questions on things we are working on or any topic we may be able to help you with.  We hope you enjoy the episode.

We recorded this a few days ago and then were officially hit with Covid.  Sorry for the delay and that explains a bit of the lower E than normal for this one.

Also, we are looking to have a listener Fantasy football league for the season.  Send an email to us and let us know if you are interested at [email protected] or on our similarly titled Instagram.

“Expensive” Tools That Are Worth It

DwD 0367:  “Expensive” Tools That Are Worth It

This Dominating with Dawson is aimed at the tools that we think are worth spending the money on.  These are tools that are critical to the function of your car or where accuracy is required, as well as tools where they just make things so much easier that they are worth every penny that they cost.  We then go into places where you can save a significant amount without impacting your car performance.

While our list is far from exhaustive, what tools do YOU think are most valuable to you when working on your car.  Please let us know in the comments or email us at [email protected] for a future part two for this topic.

GHIT 0366:  Brad and Eric from the Break/Fix Podcast and Gran Touring Motorsports

Brad and Eric from the Break/Fix Podcast and Gran Touring Motorsports which is a media group that is interested in helping grow and stoke the enthusiasm for all car related culture and grow the friendships that develop from our shared passion.  Since our podcasts share almost identical goals, we thought it would be a great idea to do a two-episode home and home series.  During this episode, we turn the tables on Brad and Eric and ask/interrogate them on their history, goals, and podcasts.  Vicki and Bill were guests on the Break Fix Podcast that is also coming out this week for those who (for unknown reason) cannot get enough of our GHiT team story.  We know you will enjoy this introduction to Brad and Eric.
