After a very long delay in editing, here is the episode we recorded several weeks ago (pre-Christmas) as a farewell wish to Jandy before he went on a long-term deployment.\xa0 We did not expect to take as long editing, but we easily had triple the number of guests we have ever had and that made things a bit complicated.\xa0 This is a fun episode with a good bit of Storytime from past racing events.\xa0 Good luck to Jim on your deployment.\xa0 We hope to see you back soon.\xa0 And thank you so much for your service!

In this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we give and introduction to the basic braking techniques and when you should use them on a track.\xa0 The typical braking technique that you use nearly every time on a public road is never the proper technique when you are driving on a track and concerned about your lap time.\xa0 But here we describe the main types of braking that you will work to use on track as your experience grows.\xa0 We even go into a few techniques that you may not want to use initially, but we think you should be aware of, even on day 1.\xa0 The main technique that you will want to use at first is threshold braking.\xa0 Then there will also be a few turns where you only want to brush brake or even just lift off the gas pedal or throttle.\xa0 In addition, we introduce the concept of trail braking.\xa0 We do not recommend working on trail braking on day one for most drivers, but at the same time, we also don\u2019t feel it is beneficial to be closed minded on only braking in a straight line.\xa0 Especially if you have a more well developed braking proactive where you apply trail braking naturally.\xa0 The key aspects to remember is to apply pressure quickly but not just stomp on the pedal to avoid upsetting the car or locking up the tires.\xa0 Just as important is the concept of gradually releasing the brake pedal to help keep the car stable throughout the turn.\xa0 Stomping on or popping off the brake pedal, as well as any of the pedals, is to be avoided.\xa0

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 It took almost 15 minutes just to herd the cats, so we put that as a \u201cbonus\u201d after the credits rolled

2)\xa0 Guest roll:\xa0 Jeff Caplan/Ron Mexico, Ann Moran/Giggles, Ruth Bates/Master Bates, Patrick Mchugh/Richard \u201cDick\u201d Freelane, two secret commando guests who will go by Pat and Chris, Matty/Opah, Taylor Purcell/The Droner Boner, Estaban/El Banos, Lara Vernon, and our guest of honor Jim Andy Jandy Webb.

3)\xa0 Story time upon story time ensues.\xa0 Most are examples of what not to do, so we aren't sure this episode will make you faster but it should make you laugh a few times.\xa0\xa0
