    Garage Heroes In Training

    An amateur endurance auto racing team hoping to show everyone that they too can participate in performance driving or racing. We are a relatively new team and learning right along with you. Our assumption is that you know very little to nothing about the sport but are interested in learning to drive better and eventually maybe even race in a local event of interest. We will cover all forms of racing and hope to be entertaining as well as educational.

    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.

    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.

    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 0541:  Revving out the Engine:  What it is, Why, and Why Not

    On this DwD, we go into what it means to rev out an engine.  We also go into the reasons why you would do that from a  performance perspective.  We then go into some of the factors that may affect whether you want to do this routinely or whether you would prefer to shift a bit earlier or only go to the redline for special occasions.

    Plus we get into a quick discussion on gauges, especially in a  new to you car or an arrive and drive.

    It has been a while since we had Lara Vernon on the podcast.  Since our last episode, she has been racing with tons of cars and in a wide variety of series.  We were long overdue for an update and always love to catch up with Lara and her exceptional racing exploits, including her new race car and recent testing in her first open wheel car.  We remain jealous, lol.
