GHIT 0133: Lucky Dog Reviews Their First Ever East Coast Race at the Charlotte Roval
We were lucky enough to get four of the Lucky Dog team to discuss with us the Lucky Dog series and how their first ever east coast race went at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on the Roval.\xa0 Jason Miles, Briana Miles, Chris Wilhelm, and Justin Parcher were our guests for this episode.\xa0 Please snug up your racing harness, this one is pretty fun but actually has some good content to learn from and may improve your team.
On this episode of Dominating with Dawson we cover braking speed and how to manage your speed and adjust to different types of brake application and brake capability of different cars and especially when at a new to you track.\xa0 Vicki and Jen excel at terminology and jargon, as always, lol.\xa0 Then we get into the way to approach new tracks and turns, as well as a warning to be careful at our then upcoming race at Charlotte.\xa0 Unfortunately, we ended up proving Ben to be prophetic.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights from this episode include:
\xa0
1)\xa0 Jason works in the pits for IMSA and was obviously less than impressed with the GHiT team's mechanical skills and performance in the garage.
2)\xa0 How the Charlotte race went and the impact that the COVID 19 pandemic had on the plans and the race itself.
3)\xa0 What its like inside the huge Charlotte oval/roval vs the more normal road courses that Lucky Dog typically runs on the west coast and how it was for a Lucky Dog track.
4)\xa0 Differences between what Lucky Dog typically sees on the west coast vs this east coast event.
5)\xa0 The tracks impressions of Race Bar and some of their music selections.\xa0 They are still puzzled by how the car can run for so long with the music at their typical volume.
6)\xa0 How the Flying Moose sounded going through the pits towards the end of the race.\xa0 What Randy Pobst and his team were able to do and the speeds they could get out of that car were amazing.
7)\xa0 Special shout out to all the tow crews at Lucky Dog.\xa0 It even carried over to the event at Charlotte.
8)\xa0 Bill makes a joke about finally not having Eric at an event.\xa0 It's kind of went over a lot like our cars.\xa0 Maybe we should change our name to "Led Garage Heroes In Training".\xa0 Maybe not.
9)\xa0 How our Lucky Dog race coincidentally crashed into the background of the NASCAR race program broadcast in the background.
10)\xa0 How Jason almost reenacted the lightning scene from Caddyshack at CMP.
11)\xa0 What works and what doesn't seem to work in a Lucky Dog race.
12)\xa0 The Deadpool E36 is still not fully regenerated.\xa0 Fingers crossed.
13)\xa0 we have a challenge in finding Chris' Nova (and bringing it to a Lucky Dog race) that he had purchased three times, so far.\xa0 It had Oregon Plate QRL-231 to aid in your search.\xa0 Let's bring it to a Lucky Dog race so he has to tech inspect it, again.
14)\xa0 Jason demonstrates why females are often referred to as the smarter half of a relationship.
15)\xa0 Jason missed out on a Porsche opportunity, perhaps he might want our 2 and three-quarters 944.\xa0 Still available.\xa0 Just let us know.
16)\xa0 If we want to torment Justin, please locate Oregon license plate 910-AFC and get it ready for a Lucky Dog race.\xa0 Last he saw the car, it was likely halfway towards passing safety inspection.
17)\xa0 Vicki dropped a Star Trek reference.\xa0 Perhaps she is a Trekkie or a Trekker or whatever the politically correct term is now.
18)\xa0 Jason's story got Bill very concerned when he thought Jason said that the fastest he ever drove was on a Ferry.
19)\xa0 Justin may have the biggest boat for his highest ever speed we have ever heard so far.
20)\xa0 Vicki and Jen now want to race a taco truck.\xa0 Don't ask.
