Adam Jabaay is a co-founder of the GridLife series and was kind enough to come onto our program to talk about GridLife and his driving and racing history.\xa0 We were told by several people at the track that we needed to attend a GridLife event and after doing some homework and talking with Adam, we agree.\xa0 The series is a mix of high level racing, HPDE, drifting, and a huge social aspect in the paddock.\xa0 We may need to take a vacation after the event to recuperate, lol.\xa0 You can find more info on GridLife at the website:\xa0 https://www.grid.life/ and we are anxiously waiting for the 2021 schedule to finalize our plans.\xa0 Also, please follow Adam on his podcast that is nearing 400 episodes, we are way behind.\xa0

We cover all the apexes on this episode of Dominating with Dawson.\xa0 If you were ever curious, we not only go into the different jargon/labels for apexes but what they mean and why they are where they are.\xa0 No mathematical geometry, nor proofs required.

We hope you enjoy this episode!
