We met Dewey Dewitt for the first time at last year’s GridLife event at NJMP and then again this year where he won the Street Mod class in Time Attack.  We talk about Subarus and Time Attack, two things we haven’t talked about much on the podcast to this point.  If you’ve never been at a track and seen Dewey’s post event celebrations, you really need to come to an upcoming event.  Dewey is currently leading in GridLife’s Street Mod Time Attack.  Also, since we recorded, Dewey has started his own podcast and we can’t wait to subscribe.

In this episode, we talk about:

We first met Glenn Robinson at Mid-Ohio and then he and Bill worked their way up to comp school and instructor school.  In spite of this, he agreed to come on to our podcast, lol.  Glenn currently races primarily with NASA Great lakes and is one of the two co-leaders of the TREC endurance racing series there as well.  In his spare time, he is the Director of Operations at PittRace International.  We were lucky enough to talk to Glenn right after a very successful event where they held the NASA National Championship.

One of the issues that several of our teams’ drivers have had is the proper process and timing when downshifting in a manual car at a turn, especially a high speed turn.  During this episode, Ben goes into a proper sequence of your hands and feet during a turn where downshifting is required.  Hopefully, this will help you as you progress in driving on track with a manual transmission.

The post Lemons Judge Series – Judge Janis appeared first on Garage Heroes (In Training).

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.

Awesome choice #1:  Subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice and every episode will show up.
