DwD 0348:\\xa0 Coasting On Track - Allowed or Not

One of the often quoted things that may have first come from Ross Bentley\\u2019s \\u201cSpeed Secrets\\u201d book series is that you should never be coasting on track, but should either be on the gas pedal/throttle or on the brake.\\xa0 Ross has been on the podcast several times and we have discussed this aspect of racing with him a few times both on the podcast and at the track.\\xa0 We decided to get into it today and with Ben discuss whether there are any scenarios where \\u201ccoasting\\u201d is acceptable or even allow for improved lap times.\\xa0 If you have time before listening to the episode, please take a moment and think of any areas where you would think coasting can be the best option for a certain area of a track and then listen to what is no doubt the first episode of a multiple part series on this topic.\\xa0

There was a minor interruption by our cat during the episode, we apologize for the distraction.\\xa0 Lol.\\xa0 We then moved onto ways for Vicki (and you) to gradually work on reducing the amount of coasting on track, especially before and at turn in to a corner.

If you have any thoughts related to \\u201cproper\\u201d use of coasting or why costing has no place on a race track, please let us know in a podcast review, on our social media, or send us an email at GarageHeroesInTraining@gmail.com and we can share it in an upcoming Dominating With Dawson.
