On this episode, we review the entire race weekend at the Charlotte Roval for our Lucky Dog endurance race.\\xa0 The first race started Friday night and ended Saturday morning.\\xa0 The second race was a 10-hour enduro that started at noon Sunday.\\xa0 It was our first time at Charlotte Motor Speedway, our first time at a big oval track, and our first race of the year.\\xa0 How hard could it be?\\xa0 What could go wrong?\\xa0 We found a few things.\\xa0 Luckily, we had several friends and new friends at the track to help us work through the problems and we all had a great racing weekend.

On our Dominating with Dawson segment, we start to discuss the progression of driving skill and driving styles as you improve, moving from the introductory stages where you try to limit your inputs to one at a time and how to progress safely to where you begin to use and work towards mastering multiple inputs and more advanced techniques like trail braking etc.\\xa0 There is a lot to discuss and we are sure to add more to this area in future segments.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Best regards,
