GHIT 0261: Our NJMP HPDE Event - Part Deux

DwD 0558:  Listener Question:  What is the difference between a “better” driver and a “faster” driver

In an earlier podcast, we talked about how Bill is looking to become a faster driver as opposed to becoming a better driver.  A few listeners have written in and asked why he said that and if they are the same.  While we agree with trying to improve as a driver and getting faster, they can often be the same, but are two distinct aspects of driving and racing.

GHiT 0557:  Scott Robertson on Racing Car Setups and Optimized Data Interpretation

Scott Robertson is the co-host of the Track Walking podcast and team member of Robertson Racing.  With Scott hosting an upcoming webinar on data interpretation, we couldn’t pass up the chance to talk with him ahead of time.  While we hate to impose on fellow podcasters to come on our podcast, every time we talk with Scott he sheds a light on a new aspect of racing and especially race car setups.  This episode is no exception.  This discussion offers a sneak peak of some of the topics that will be covered during the seminar this week, in spite of our meandering questions and discussion.

GHiT 0556:  Rally Master Jeff returns to Review the Virginia is for Clunkers Rally and Preview the upcoming Route 66 Rally

Jeff Stobbs, Lemons resident Rally Master, returns to review the recent Virginia is for Clunkers rally and all the goings on for the first rally to occur in a single state.  Several great entries and several teams are still missing in action.

Then we shift over to the upcoming Route 66 rally that is still open for registration.  Route 66 is one of the unofficial highlight rallies of the year and if you can make it, it may be the highlight of your driving season.

DwD 0555:  Listener Feedback on Towing and Best Pizza

We received a bunch of emails and comments related to our Pizza episode and our Towing episode part 1.  Ben loves nothing more than passing everyone, but number two may be listener feedback.  So, we made a number two episode.  I should probably rephrase that.  Oh no, too late, its posted.  Lol.

GHiT 0554:  Waka Motorsports with Rich Russo

We were instant fans of the Waka Motorsports YouTube channel and first met Rich Russo and teammates at NJMP and then Thompson on their initial scouting trips to Lemons racing.  They race an almost identical car to our Honda Civic and have had quite a few stories in such a short time.  We also talk about the upcoming karting contest between our two teams.  So if you have ever wondered what a Waka is, its detailed in here and we bet you didn’t guess it correctly.  

In this episode we go over what it was like to start a racing team and how things have gone after their first few races.

DwD 0553:  Brakes:  Rotors, Pads, and Bleeding

We have already gone deep into the area of brakes, brake pads, fluid etc. with Wendy from Porterfield’s a few years ago but we thought that it may be beneficial to go into the maintenance and replacement of these components and options that you have to replace and service the braking system.

GHiT 0552:  Anthony Magagnoli – Record Setting Racing Driver

Anthony Magagnoli is a unique combination of racing driver, racing coach, and working for various OEMs on vehicle dynamics and set up.  In addition, he runs and owns a coaching service that focuses on improving driver’s performance centered near Michigan.  Having set several track records, including at Mid-Ohio, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get into several areas of driving MidO and what he thinks will be the result of the recent repave.  Hopefully this will be part one of many.

DwD 0551:  Arrive and Drive – The Hardcore Way

Taking a note from the Mighty Car Mods YouTube channel, we take a stab at what we would do for a heroic arrive and drive.  On their episode they entered a 24 hour endurance race in another country by building their race car from scratch after they arrived.  We decided that sounded like a challenge, so we begin planning how we would do the same. 

Did we miss something?  Do you have a better suggestion?  Please let us know.

GHiT 0550:  Celebration with Ross Bentley Helping Our Team Drivers Improve - Santa Style

Ross Bentley returns to help celebrate our 550^th episode.  Ross indulges us in helping refine Vicki’s racing improvement plan for the upcoming season and then helps each of our drivers refine their driver goals and plans for 2024.  Since each of our drivers is at a different point in their driving/racing journey, these can be examples of what everyone can take into account to self-assess and then develop your individual improvement plan.  It all starts with the weirdest Christmas gift ever for Vicki.

Bonus tips for the upcoming One Lap of America towards the end of this episode.

Don't miss Ross's new podcast with Jeff Braun and Sam Smith entitled "Its Not The Car"

GHiT 0549:  ST-4 with Griffin Gamcsik-Uly

Griffin Gamcsik-Uly is the Super Touring Director and races in the ST-4 group with NASA Northeast.  During this episode, we finally start to break down the various run groups in wheel to wheel (ST) and time trials (TT) as well as what the numbers mean in terms of cars and performance.  It turns out that Bill may actually have a car ready to compete in ST and we may be out there with Griffin this summer.  Unfortunately, Griffin may have a bit more firepower for the upcoming season.
