GHiT 0668: Dewey (Eric DeWitt) Returns to Talk about Qualifying Laps & Time Attack, Plus a Whole Lot More

Dewey is back and we really wanted his input on what to do when trying for that one fast lap when on track. This could be when in a time attack competition or when the series you are competing in sets the starting grid by the car's qualifying lap. As expected, we wander into a whole lot more topics as the episode rolled along.

GHiT 0664: Roy Dietsch - And Then we Talk Best Brake Pads

We subscribed (as you should) to Roy Dietsch's YouTube a few months ago and when his recent episode went into his new favorite brake pads (replacing our team favorite the ST-43's), we knew we had to bring him on. Nothing seems to get racers more revved up online than the best brake pads. So on your mark. Get Set. Go. Or stop in this case.
