GHIT 0359  GridLife’s NJMP 2022 Event with E1R’s Chris and Chrissy

We were finally able to go to our first GridLife event this year at NJMP and to make it even better we were there with our friends from the Everyone Racers podcast Chris and Chrissy.  Since we were all together, we decided to do a podcast mashup. 

We were split up among the intermediate and advanced HPDE groups for this weekend.  Chris was looking to test and tune their latest K swapped 1993 Honda Civic.  Chrissy wanted to gain overall speed and confidence.  Jennifer was there to get a bit more time and comfort driving our front wheel drive Civic.  Vicki was going to drive our 2019 Mazda Miata on track for the first time and Bill was looking to help anyone he could at this event.  In addition, we were finally going to meet our friends at GridLife, as well as Ross Bentley and Peter Krause.  What could be better.  Oh, that’s right, the weather turned us into baked potatoes as this was the hottest track event that we have ever attended.

Rally Master Jeff Stobbs returns to report in live from the awards ceremony of the 2022 Rust Belt RambleRust Belt Ramble Rally between Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, The year there was a ceremony for dearly departed car makes of the past.  We cover highlights of the trip as well as many of the entries.  We are then joined by Finn, from The Car Farm channel on YouTube.  They entered the rally in their Buick Grand National.  Why is a Buick Grand National on a Lemons Rally.  Listen to find out.

One of the highlights from this event is the introduction of the Lemons Rally grill badges.  The badges actually began at the last rally, but we didn’t do a good job of interviewing so its new to us.  Lol.  Vicki also gets a few tips on what to do for her first upcoming rally this fall.

Roles Within a Team

DwD 0357:  Roles Within a Team Defined

It is often said that the key to winning an endurance race is a management problem and not primarily a speed problem.  In this Dominating with Dawson episode, we go over some of the roles for a team that are needed to successfully accomplish a racing or HPDE event.  Each of the roles functions are needed. Team members often will be required to help the team with several roles especially for those who attend events solo.  This episode will help your performance and also make you feel better about being tired after a race weekend.

GHIT 0355:  Cameron Conover from Conover Motorsports

Cameron Conover has been working in motorsports for two decades and Conover Motorsports offers sales and service support of the entire RaceCapture portfolio, as well as mechanical support for your vehicle.  We worked with Cameron on our two RaceCapture installations and as always, if we can do it, anyone can. 

With the recent upgrade in the connectors, it is even easier to install and connect a system and any sensors that you may wish to install into your race car.  Some of the capabilities that RaceCapture offers are real time telemetry in both the car and the paddock, as well as the ability to add several options available including real time tire temperature monitoring (up to 16 channels per tire), shift lights, pressure and temperature of any fluid or system, and the ability to message to and from the car when on track.  In spite of some of our stumbling explanations (difficult in an audio only environment), the system offers a tremendous amount of capability and is simple to install and use. 

If this sounds like something that may help your driving and racing, contact Cameron and tell him GHiT sent you to save you zero dollars, lol.
