DwD 0541: Revving out the Engine: What it is, Why, and Why Not

On this DwD, we go into what it means to rev out an engine. We also go into the reasons why you would do that from a performance perspective. We then go into some of the factors that may affect whether you want to do this routinely or whether you would prefer to shift a bit earlier or only go to the redline for special occasions.

Plus we get into a quick discussion on gauges, especially in a new to you car or an arrive and drive.

GHiT 0536: Adam Jabaay – Discusses GridLife 2023 and 2024

Adam Jabaay returns to talk about what a great year 2023 was for the GridLife season and all the changes going forward for 2024. If you haven't tried a GridLife event, you should not miss one that's local to you. The original goal for GridLife was to hold the racing events that they wanted for all their friends. With the season passes selling out this year in 80 seconds, it appears they have succeeded. But don't worry, there are still entries available for individual events and tons of spectator passes available for every event.

As a bonus, Adam and Vicki bond over their exchange of esoteric golden era Civic trivia.
