DwD 0584: “Good” Coil Overs/Shocks – Are They Worth It

In an effort to start yet another internet flame war, a listener asked us “Are the fancy coil overs really worth it”. We answer this question with a series of questions that lead to the answer. And for our next episode, we will answer what is the best brake pad and brake fluid, lol.

GHiT 0583: Autocross with Audra

We were so close to going to a local autocross that we thought it would be great to talk to Audra about what to do and expect. Autocross is a great way to start improving as a driver and helps with track driving as an excellent, low cost way to improve your skills, especially your car control skills. Audra has been autocross'ing for well over a decade and run many events with her team at her local autocross series.

DwD 0582: Weight Management On Track – AKA Friction Circle Take 6?

We are looking to improve our track driving and one of the concepts that some of us are still working on is how best to manage the weight of the car on track to maximize grip and minimize our lap times. In other words, managing the friction circle. Yep, here we go for try number 6 or so. Did we do it this time? Does it make sense now? Do you have a better way of explaining it? Let us know.

GHiT 0581: Heyward Wagner on his One Lap of America

Heyward Wagner is back after his recent adventure on the One Lap of America in his newly built Club Spec Mustang. As we discussed with Heyward on one of his earlier appearances, the Club Spec Mustang series was created to make a car that was competitive and fun to race in all types of motorsports, so naturally the OLoA was a great place to show the car’s capabilities. And to have “Fun With Cars”. How did it go? How did the car perform? Did they meet their goals? It’s in here.

Plus, what was Heyward thinking when he accepted to race with us at an upcoming Lemons race? Not sure, but we aren’t letting him get away.

DwD 0577: Tool Organization - At Garage/Home and At the Track

On a Ben-less Dominating with Dawson, we go over one of Bill's obsessions, tool organization. He has tested almost every style of tool organization and evaluated them for use in a garage/home, as well as when travelling to and from the race track. We initially go into several of the tool box solutions that we have tried and liked for different applications. Then we go into several of the different tool/drawer organization systems that we have tried and evaluated.

Please let us know if you have other preferences or found even better solutions.
