GHIT 0460: Hoopties Documentary Director Jeremy Berger In an earlier episode, we put out that we couldn’t wait to have Jeremy Berger on the podcast to discuss his award winning documentary film Hoopties. Obviously, he never listened to the podcast and was likely forced to come on the podcast by an unknown someone, thank you whoever you are. We start with a review of how the documentary came to be and what he found to be the biggest challenges with accurately capturing the weekend that is a 24 Hours of Lemons race. You likely won’t learn much about how to race faster during this episode, but if you need to show someone what grassroots racing is all about or perhaps convince someone to give it a try, this documentary may be the best way we know of to achieve both goals.

DwD 0459: Steering Wheel Grip Pressure – More is not Better On this episode of Dominating with Dawson, Jeremy joins in to discuss one of the aspects of driving that is often neglected and can be holding you back: the grip pressure that you use to hold the steering wheel. This can impact your response speed on track and create a lot of fatigue in your hands, forearms, and shoulders. Another aspect of this is the harder you grip something, the less sensitive you are to the inputs that you will receive through the wheel.

David and Daniel from Fire Laps join us to discuss their new website that Bill is SOOOOO excited to use. Fire Laps allows the input of telemetry data from a wide and growing variety of systems and then uses a ton of advanced algorithms and machine learning to translate the 1’s and 0’s or the “squiggly lines” that we usually get from our very expensive telemetry systems. The software then compares your data with itself and the data of other similar vehicles to formulate a prioritized and actionable series of alternative track lines and pedal inputs to lead to a safer and faster way around the track. So, does Fire Laps lead to faster times? Yes! Does it present the data from multiple systems in a single user-friendly interface? Yes! Can you compare your data to others on the systems, friends and otherwise? Yes! Plus a ton more. The software is growing in capability very quickly and we cannot wait to see what other features will be added in the coming weeks and months. PS Fire Laps is useful to the “spreadsheet” people out there but may be even more useful to the more visual/artistic drivers and teams. If this sounds like something that you or your team needs, Fire Laps has provided a code for you.

DwD 0446: Is Perfection Keeping You From Starting

4/11/2023
DwD 0446: Is Perfection Keeping You From Starting On this episode we talk about what we see as the second most frequent issue that we see that keeps people from going on track or from autocrossing etc. That is the pursuit of perfection in preparation. We go over the base level of driving and car preparation to get started and several of the most frequent “reasons” that the person can’t start until its done. This includes big brake kits, turbo additions, engine swaps, racing slicks, and many, many others. (The most prominent reason that we see is that the person did not know it was possible. Since you ae reading this, you likely know that everyone is welcome to come out and get started.)
