Gridding at an HPDE

Grid

DwD 0365:  Gridding at an HPDE

This Dominating with Dawson is aimed at what came be source of pre-event angst and again deals with the unknown.  This time we go through what is meant by gridding ahead of an HPDE stint.  In addition, we discuss some of the decisions and thoughts that we have used to improve the HPDE experience.  This includes why and where to grid up for the stint as a function of the car you are driving and the experience that you may have with this organization, as well as several other items.  As always, the unknown is what can be intimidating but there is really nothing to be concerned about.

Race Review of Thompson 2022

Thompson 2022

GHIT 0363  Race Review of Thompson 2022 with the 24 Hours of Lemons

We entered three cars into this year’s 24 Hours of lemons race with the Honda Civic/Cookie Car still limping after our GridLife event, the El Jeffe/Bad Hombre/Trophy Truck/Chevy S10/Isuzu Hombre etc. prepped and ready for battle, and the MooStang/SpiderStang/1984 Mustang GT Turbo locked and loaded, almost.  This weekend was another hot and humid August race at the Thompson Motor Speedway, and we had a true Good, Bad, and the Ugly weekend.  We had another great weekend with all our friends at the track and we met a whole bunch more.  We cannot wait to get back on track again.  The team is in full post race hangover mode and some of our thoughts may not be directly related to what we said though our mouths.  Sounds like a normal podcast episode.  This week’s hosts and drivers are Jennifer, Vicki, Jeremy, and Tim B.

What is a Drivers Meeting

and Why You Should Always Attend

drivers meeting

DwD 0362:  Racing 101:  What is a Drivers Meeting and Why You Should Always Attend

In our continuing introduction to racing series and breaking down some of the jargon involved with getting into driving on a track, we talk through with Ben what a drivers meeting is, what is usually covered, and why you should always attend, even if you have been to literally hundreds of them.  We then go into a related communication technique that we use at the track, a common team text thread to communicate to all people at the event.  It is so easy and so very helpful.

WOOT 0361  Thor Love and Thunder and San Diego Comic Con 2022

Another Way Off Our Normal topic episode where we talk about our thoughts on Thor Love and Thunder movie, how the recent MCU movies and shows have been, as well as a review of last week’s San Diego Comic Con.  We do manage to talk about cars for about 15 seconds but most of this is comic book movie related and FULL SPOILER rules are in play.  For this episode we are joined by Benny, the Jeff and Josh duo, Vicki, Bill and a quick drop in by Fake Alex.  If we missed anything that came out after, we apologize, but we wanted to get this one out as quickly as we could.  We will return to our usual subject matter in future GHiT and DwD episodes.

Optimal Mirror Positioning

DwD 0360:  Optimal Mirror Positioning Tips

One of the fundamental aspects of racing that everyone agrees upon is the importance of your vision and constantly working to improve it.  Unfortunately, when you are starting out, this is even more important since it is very likely that your relative speed is lower than some of the other more experience drivers on a track and it is demanding both in front of you and behind you.  On this episode, we look at several options for selecting and installing the mirrors, as well as the mirror positioning to help improve your overall vision.
