GHiT 0481: Lemons Judge Series – Judge Shawn Rogers

Part 2 of Many TBD in our Lemons Judge Series with Shawn Rogers. While we often talk with drivers about Lemons, we thought that it might be fun to talk with some of the Lemons Judges about the series and how they see it from their perspective. We hope you enjoy this multipart series that we hope sheds some light on the, hmm, well on something.

Shawn has been racing in Lemons from the Altamont days and has been judging for many, many races. He has a ton of stories and as our great friend Jeff once said about Mental, the man can spin a yarn. If you need a full blanket, this episode is for you, lol.

Our First Time Working with a Coach - Miss Jackie

What a great weekend we had. Our team worked with Jackie Andrews as our coach for the Grid Life event at NJMP.

Jennifer was in our B Spec Fit in HPDE and Vicki was in HPDE in our new E46 race car but switched to our Honda Fit when we had a mechanical issue. Bill was also in the B Spec Fit and competed in the Sundae Cup series, securing a solid last place.

DwD 0480: Air, Spark, and Fuel – Plus Timing

On this episode, we go into one of the areas that Vicki and Bill are worst at: Trouble shooting. One of the fundamental ways to diagnose a car not running is to look at the supply of Air, Fuel, and spark to the engine. Once they are all present at the required quantity and time, it is almost magic how the car then starts making that happy noise we all desire. Jeremy tried to explain this to us during this episode. Some of it even seems to sink in.

DwD 0479: Double Sucking

What is a DwD without Ben, well we try again here with guests Mental and Jeremy standing in for Ben. One area we wanted to cover is that there are multiple factors that can affect your absolute and relative performance on track, especially as you progress. One of the hardest areas we have seen is trying to determine the relative contributions of what part is driver induced and what fraction can be attributed to the car, car setup, and track conditions. Sometimes it may not be "you", but even then "you" can often work around as best you can when the car you are in is all you have.

Jeff, Josh, Benny, Alex, Vicki, and Bill go over the latest Spiderverse movie and The Flash, with a splash of a return to the Guardians of the Galaxy 3. We then end the episode with a ranking of all the Spider Man movies (and related movies). I think we did manage to squeeze in a car reference, might have been a roller skate, but maybe.

So what are you rankings for the movies? Let us know at [email protected] and we can discuss it in an upcoming WOoT episode.

DwD 0476: Racing Classes – Builder's Classes vs Driver's Classes (Jeremy Fill)

There are generically two different types of racing series. One is a builder's class where you can build and enter almost anything that complies with a fairly open rule book. Other racing classes are more specific on what cars and modification are allowed and focus more on the difference being largely due to the driver skill and relatively less on the car build. Spec class racing is usually more of a driver's class type of racing. We discuss some of the differences between these two types of series and help show the advantages and disadvantages of each. Probably the first part of many in this area.

Rally Master Jeff Stobbs joins us again to review the recent Lemons rally that went to the 49th state. This was a first time event and easily one of the most memorable rallies that Lemons has hosted. How did it go? Did anyone hit a moose or have a moose hit them? What did the locals think of a Lemons rally? Did they sacrifice any cars to the Rally gods by driving them off a cliff? Tune in and find out. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel.

DwD 0474: Overdriving Observations and Indications

Ben is joined on this episode by both special guests Mental Ward and Santa Jeremy to discuss some indications that you may be overdriving on track. Ben is a firm believer in driving to the limit but for some of our less experienced listeners driving at the limit can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. In addition, this is significantly increasing the wear and tear on your car and can impact your team's ability to successfully complete an endurance race. Less of a concern for Time Trials and Sprint racing.
