GHIT 0402: Race Review – NHMS 2022 Part 1: The MooStang

Long delayed due to schedule and sickness, here is part 1 of our teams 24 Hours of Lemons race at New Hampshire Motor Sports track in late October. We had planned to go over the race and how it went for the flying MooStang and the trophy truck El Jeffe/the Bad Hombre but we have now broken this up into two separate episodes. Part two will release later this week. In this episode, Alan goes through the entire race weekend for the 1984 Mustang GT Turbo that we affectionately call the MooStang. In part two, Jeremy will join us to discuss how the race went for El Jeffe. Which team had a good race? Who had the most black flags? Was there any contact? Who won? All this and more in this part of the race review.

Favorite quote of the episode: "You forgot to carry the suck"

DwD 0401: How to Install Harness Straps

On this Dominating with Dawson, we try to go over how to install and wrap harnesses in a race car. It turns out to be quite a challenge to describe this process without the help of any visuals. We start off with discussing the purchase of the racing harness and then proceed towards the installation of the racing harness into a car. We include things to do and things not to do. The installation is much easier than our description makes it seem, lol. Please let us know if we missed something or if you have any questions at [email protected].

GHIT 0400: Celebrate Episode 400 with ROSS BENTLEY

Our streak continues with celebrating every fifty episodes with Ross Bentley returning to the podcast. During this episode, we have our traditional questions related to improving as drivers, but since it is near the end of the season, we wanted to go over some goals for the upcoming season. Ross not only assist us in coming up with a goal or two, but he provides a great process for you to come up for your own goals. In addition to goals, we also go into:

2) How best to race in transitioning conditions

3) Skid pad practice and drills

4) HPDE drills for beginners, intermediate, and advanced drivers

5) What to do when things go badly, or very badly

6) Tips on how to self-diagnose your driving and find things to improve

PS Sorry Bill's microphone was apparently not connected so he sounds like he is inside a tunnel. Ross more than makes up for it.

DwD 0399: Why You Need to Improve Driving Off Line

In the beginning, everyone is obsessively concerned with driving on "the line" when on a track. During this Dominating with Dawson episode, we talk about the importance of driving off line and getting as good as possible at driving off line. There are many, many reasons why it is important, and we try to go into several of them including that this is the predominant way to pass other cars on track and how driving off line will augment your car control skills, among many, many others.

GHIT 0398: Andrew Purvis and his Coyote Swapped Fox Body

We met Andrew Purvis at our NY Safety Track track day with the brothers Korf. During the event, Alan was lusting after Andrew's Coyote swapped Fox Body Mustang and we all had a great time. Even better, Andrew was able to catch Vicki's spin intervention on video for us, lol. Andrew is a big time car guy and obviously knows his way around a car and especially his Fox body. We look forward to being passed by him at an upcoming event, likely with EMRA. If you'd like to join us, go to https://www.emraracing.org/ for the latest schedule information.

Unfortunately, Vicki's microphone cable was working intermittently during the episode so she may sound a bit off from normal.

DwD 0396: Post Race Weekend Hangover Minimization

The post race (weekend) hangover is real, and it has nothing to do with what your drink of choice was during the weekend. It often comes from a loss of sleep, a lot of activity, and the overuse of your adrenal glands during the weekend. In the end, Monday or often especially Tuesday, you usually are in a partial zombie state and are from performing at your peak. During this episode, we cover several ways that the weekends affect each of us and several ways that we use to help minimize the impact and duration of the post race hangover. If you have any other tips or tricks, please let us know at [email protected].
