GHiT 0752: The Costs of Racing with the Ironbird Racing Team

We received a question from a listener about an episode themed at the costs of racing and ways to monitor and control them (lol). We thought it might be a great idea to have them come on and ask anything they wished, so we did. Welcome to the podcast from Ironbird Racing, Robin and Greg.

DwD 0751: What is Full Throttle and More (and We're Back)

We resume with a listener question from Code Name Vicki and it is about what is full throttle, wha tit means, when to be, etc, etc, etc. It seems simple, maybe even trivial, but it has been the cause of some confusion with our listener and several other students we have instructed in the past. Sometimes the issue is misunderstanding a term or dare we say racing jargon. And a few shout outs from us to (hopefully soon to be guest) Alyssa.
