Julian Cordle is our guest for this episode and celebrate Blursday!\xa0 Julian races with the Snow Speeder Pilots Association racing team that races on the west coast, one of the original Lemons teams from the inaugural Altamont race.\xa0 The episode starts off with all of our usual professionalism and then, well really, who are we kidding.\xa0 The alphabet is apparently still a challenge for us.\xa0 Julian started with Lemons in 2012 after he first heard about the 24 Hours of Lemons on Jalopnik.\xa0 He met his team on his driveway and immediately left for his first race two states away.\xa0 We reminisce about his early days, setting Guinness Book of World Records records, and through to his latest Chrysler 300 race car build.
Dominating with Dawson covers what happens when you have a mistake on track and how to minimize the potential outcome.\xa0 Ben also cites taking a peak at the professional racing driver Sandro Espinosa as a potential reference for how someone preemptively catches a car pre-slipping to avoid an issue.\xa0 Also, Danica Patrick on how to prepare for a big hit when you can no longer avoid it.
