GHiT 0629: Nick Pon Returns from the 24 Hours of Lemons

We always love catching up with Nick Pon from the 24 Hours of Lemons and get a few stories from long ago and a bit of a peek behind the wizard's curtain. Nick was kind enough to come on and we caught up with him on what is going on and how the 2025 season has been to this point.

DwD 0628: What You Can/Should Feel When On Track

We realized recently that we haven't ever really gone into some of the details of what you can (and should) feel when driving at the limit on the track. We even take a shot at describing the feeling, what it means, and the potential set of responses that you may need to do or be aware of. No doubt this is a part one of many.

What did we miss? What did we get wrong? Anything different between FWS and RWD and AWD? What about on a SIM?

GHiT 0625: Peter Krause Returns for His Second Lap

It has been way too long since we had Peter Krause on the podcast. It all started out with a very clear set of questions that we intended to ask Peter. As is customary on a great podcast, we ended up talking about none of them. However, the good news is that we both have an excuse to have Peter back on and our prep is already done. A true win-win. This is one of those don't miss episodes and we have already listened to it twice.
