We are enthusiastic podcast listeners and found a podcast hosted by our guests called Shifting Points.\xa0 Their podcast is also aimed at helping people get started in our sport.\xa0 Luckily, they approach it from the perspective of autocross, so we haven\u2019t lost our entire audience to them, yet.\xa0 Since we all share the same passion, we had to invite them onto our podcast and talk all things cars and driving.\xa0 They are a great group of ladies and we will be going up to an autocross event with them this season and plan on doing our best to get them into endurance racing.\xa0 Why should it be an \xab\xa0or\xa0\xbb when it can be an \xab\xa0and \xbb.\xa0 \u201cAnd\u201d is so much more fun.\xa0 Please welcome Kathy, Jess, and Audra to the podcast.

On this episode\u2019s Dominating with Dawson, we go into two types of drivers that we see, those that tend towards overdriving their car and those that tend to underdrive their car.\xa0 If you are learning or instructing a driver, it is useful to see how to best approach driving improvement by understanding the differences between these two personality approaches to high performance driving.\xa0 It is also useful to see how the other half lives and learns.\xa0 Neither is right or wrong and both approaches can learn to be really fast.\xa0 The only difference is in the path that they tend to follow and the way they increase their speed.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 It seems our two podcasts have almost the exact same taste in cars.\xa0 Seems like a future autocross battle in the making.\xa0 Hopefully, this summer.\xa0 Probably wise to place your bets on the Shifting Points podcast team for a clean sweep victory.

2)\xa0 We go through the history of how our ladies started autocross driving, met each other and how this eventually ended up with them starting a podcast together.

3)\xa0 Both podcasts started out knowing little about fixing and working on a car and have progressed rapidly with help from car friends and YouTube.

4)\xa0 We review how to enter an autocross local to you, where to find them, and what is involved.\xa0 The barrier to entry is as close to zero as any type of driving event and is a great way to get a taste for high performance driving with almost any car and very little risk, cost, and prep required.

5)\xa0 Tons of Mini stories.\xa0 Apparently, Mini\u2019s have feelings.\xa0 Lol.\xa0

6)\xa0 Both groups go into why we started podcasting and some of the benefits and growing pains involved.

7)\xa0 It took a bit of time, but we eventually did make our move to convince them to try endurance racing.\xa0 Vicki was less than subtle, but did you really expect anything else from us by now?\xa0 It may end up with an all-female driver GHiT team this year.\xa0 Bill will have to be relegated to sous chef for the weekend and let the talented drivers show their stuff.

8)\xa0 We mined for a few tips and tricks to starting up and entering your first autocross event.\xa0 Autocross is truly accessible to everyone interested in having fun in a car.\xa0 Most of the prep is for the driver\u2019s comfort with the weather and food.\xa0 Your car is probably already good to go as it is, but getting it checked over may be a good idea.\xa0 Well, you will likely have to clean out your car, but that is usually a good thing, especially for our cars.\xa0 Lol.

9)\xa0 Kathy and Bill share a certain talent related to torquing lug nuts.\xa0 Stories were shared.\xa0 Hopefully, they will both grow out of it soon.\xa0 Lol.

10)\xa0 Tips on how to find any autocross events within the area you live or may be visiting.\xa0 Also, if concerned, the autocross events are classed by car and many times there are classes for first time/new drivers.

11)\xa0 Audra\u2019s tap root car story broke Kathy

12)\xa0 Jess just released an album with her band.\xa0 It would be great to hit the top hundred list with the latest release from The Strattones!\xa0 It might even pay for her next autocross event.

13)\xa0 Jen asks her next question while on mute.\xa0 Eventually she figured it out, lol.\xa0

14)\xa0 Kathy may have discovered a way to get red wine out of cloth seats with a combination of red wine and Diet Coke.\xa0 Try at your own discretion.
