GHIT 0089: Top 10 List of Things We Learned From Racing

Our First Two Years In Racing

  • Alan in Repair Mode
Two Years and Still In Training

For this shorter episode of our podcast we thought it would be helpful and fun to go over our individual lists of the top ten things we have learned in our first two years of low budget endurance racing.  We also had a few items added in from Kate as well as several thoughts from our Facebook and Instagram accounts. 

In addition to our top ten list, highlights include:

1)  If its worth doing, it worth overdoing, again.
2)  Bill’s math side is affecting his line and apex visualization and target, still
3)  Jen needs to work on her subtlety
4)  Vicki is confused with what racing means, but refers to it assuming she is addressing new drivers
5)  We review our top choices for low cost endurance tires and brakes at this point
6)  Square tires are not desirable
7)  Vicki and Bill discuss tire pressure and its potential effects on traction and grip and car handling
8)  Bill pretends to be Richard Dawson
9)  Black flags are not atta boys or girls
10)  Jen learns about blips and has homework for the morning
11)  Jen’s cat makes an appearance by rubbing on the microphone and says hi
12)  Alan apparently makes an appearance via Jen
13)  We talk about the video Mental said not to talk about
14)  Another discussion on the difference between front wheel drive and rear wheel drive cars
15)  Jim makes another drop in appearance
16)  Matt F, Randy B, Roger M, Jason H, and James M were kind enough to add a few items to our lists
17)  Purple mist with sparkly pop rocks

It seems like the only things we learned were from the Three Pedal Mafia.  Hopefully, you can find a team willing to help mentor you early in your racing team’s growth to assist you.   

Best regards,
Bill, Vicki, and Alan
