The latest HPDE with NASA Northeast last weekend completes our season of track driving and instruction for 2020.\xa0 We try to summarize it as well as how the COVID 19 impacted racing season went.\xa0 And Bill can\u2019t wait to start planning 2021.\xa0 It was a great weekend on track with fantastic weather, especially for mid-November in NJ.\xa0 We came with three cars good to go.\xa0 We left with zero.\xa0 Seems to be a familiar refrain.\xa0 The winter to do list gets longer.

\xa0

On Dominating with Dawson, we cover driver communication going into and out of the car at the track.\xa0\xa0

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 We cover our goals going into the event.

2)\xa0 How was Bill\u2019s new HPDE car on track for the first time.\xa0 If at first you don\u2019t succeed, try, try, try again or the fourth time is the charm.

3)\xa0 We also cover how Vicki and Jennifer applied the things they learned at the Lime Rock skid pad on the track.

4)\xa0 Bill gets to see the Lightning track for the first time, even though he/we drove this track for several hours last year.\xa0 Hood-Gate.

5)\xa0 Jennifer got to drive with and review the data from the Garmin Catalyst for the first time.\xa0

6)\xa0 Vicki also started reviewing and using the data from the Apex Pro for the first time ever.

7)\xa0 Both Jennifer and Vicki got a lot faster throughout the weekend and seemed to have some of their best driving stints ever.

8)\xa0 Bill went on track for the first time ever in the ND Miata.\xa0

9)\xa0 What were the areas of greatest improvement for Jennifer and Vicki.\xa0 Both made significant gains in both their lines and their car inputs.\xa0 Also, now they were both able to take input from the data and video and apply it on their next stint.\xa0

10)\xa0 Bill apparently can't count turns past 5 and gets confused with turn 7.\xa0 We will blame this on our post-race weekend hangover.\xa0

11)\xa0 Bill really wants to put racing brake pads onto the M3 for the next track event.\xa0 The all-season tires were not as big a deal as anticipated but will also need to be improved for our first event next season.

12)\xa0 Vicki\u2019s last stint led to an off on turn 5 that has caused some issue with her suspension.\xa0 Exact point of failure is still TBD at this point.

13)\xa0 We were able to get a lot of good video and hopefully good data.\xa0 We cannot wait to analyze further and learn what we can work on and how we are improving.

14)\xa0 Jennifer breaks the news that Ross Bentley is coming back as a guest for our 150th episode that is coming very soon!

15)\xa0 Vicki went into her off track event late Sunday at turn 5.\xa0

16)\xa0 Brief review of some of our off season work and planning for next season.
