When we started this podcast, we had a list of guests that would compose our school of white whales that we dreamed of getting.\xa0 One of the top was Randy Pobst.\xa0 He is an excellent driver, instructor and television personality and has seemingly won every race event he has entered, sometimes multiple times.\xa0 As good as a driver as he is, he is an even better person.\xa0 He routinely attends amateur races, many times bringing his own \u201cFlying Moose\u201d team Volvo and walks the paddock and talks to everyone there and is always willing to help with friendly advice or to answer a question.\xa0 To this point, our biggest regret for the podcast was the microphone issues we had early in the first episode with Randy as a guest at the Lucky Dog race in Portland at PIR.\xa0 This time, we triple checked and we were able to have Randy on without any technical issues on our end.\xa0 Please welcome Randy Pobst back to our podcast to talk all about cars and racing, and even a bit about motorcycles.\xa0 We still miss his \u201cRacing Line\u201d series, and the \u201cHead-To-Head\u201d show is greatly missed.\xa0 (It was hosted by two of our original white whales guests Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman.\xa0 Maybe we can trade a seat for an intro, lol.) Randy is so busy with so many projects, it is truly amazing that he takes the time to come onto our podcast.\xa0

On this episode\u2019s Dominating with Dawson, Bill wanted to talk about what a dead pedal is and how it is used on track.\xa0 We aren't sure why he thought this was a good segment topic, but it really did turn out well.\xa0

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 Autocorrect strikes again on Randy\u2019s earlier email in a most hilarious way.\xa0 Perhaps a future theme option.\xa0 And then Bill breaks out into a \u201cLove Boat\u201d reference.\xa0 Most of our listeners may need to use Google.\xa0 And then we break out into bad college food habits.\xa0 We do eventually return to cars at some point.\xa0 Promise.

2)\xa0 The endurance racing talk begins, and we are talking before the Champ Car race where Randy has already posted a video or two from the race on his YouTube channel.\xa0 Great video to watch.

3)\xa0 Randy has a teleporter.\xa0 It is the only way he can be at so many track events.\xa0 We saw him in Charlotte and the next thing we know, he is posting from Laguna Seca and then the next day he is back at Charlotte in the Flying Moose.

4)\xa0 It is story time about the time we shared a race car with Randy at Portland.\xa0 It was our first time doing an engine change.\xa0 Why is the Capri taking so long?\xa0 We did it in less than one day there.

5)\xa0 It appears that Randy has even more race car projects going than we do.\xa0 That is equally comforting and troubling at the same time, lol.

6)\xa0 Randy goes into several stories about driving, racing, and learning to work with cars, both mechanically and driving.\xa0 If you don\u2019t get faster from this episode, you should listen to It again. Randy is a firm believer in constantly learning ad fully admits he is always \u201cIn Training\u201d.

7)\xa0 One of our favorite quotes ever, - When you are in trouble, why would you want to crash faster.

8)\xa0 We discuss what you should be looking at and Randy\u2019s preference for saying \u201cEyes In\u201d vs that more standard \u201cEyes Up\u201d, same meaning but a different reaction or perception by the student driver.

9)\xa0 How karting can help you with your driving but can also hinder your progression if you do not take into account the differences inherent in the different suspension and drivetrain variables in each.

10)\xa0 The difference Randy sees between racing for a team and leading a race team at an event.

11)\xa0 We eventually worked our way back to where we discussed tires and their importance in racing and your car\u2019s performance.

12)\xa0 Randy is an adopter of our proposed racing series with 500 treadwear tires from Walmart as the spec tire for the series.\xa0 We wonder if Douglas would be interested in a partnering sponsorship.

13)\xa0 A story about a lemons race car with a stripper pole?\xa0 Yep, it\u2019s in here and it wasn't just a decoration.

14)\xa0 How to become a sponsored race driver?\xa0 Randy goes through how he did it and what may work for you.

15)\xa0 Randy shares several of his thoughts on getting a car to be faster and handle better.\xa0 This is one episode where if you apply what we discuss with Randy, you will be faster.

16)\xa0 Our questions are like apexes for Randy, he gets really close to them, sometimes touches on them, while he drives by at high speed, lol.

17)\xa0 Randy discusses modern cars and the plusses and minuses of the increasing horsepower and the maturation of the many driver aides.

18)\xa0 He even puts up with us and our Fast and Furious Storytime Questions.

19)\xa0 Vicki starts to discuss front wheel vs rear wheel drive cars with Randy.\xa0 She is still not a fan but maybe she will listen to Randy.

20)\xa0 Randy was also kind enough to share a secret approach he uses at Watkins Glen.

Special Post Game Bonus:\xa0 Vicki and Randy talking about their ADD\u2019s impact on their racing and about skid pad training.\xa0
