We initially met Elizabeth Jolly at our second ever race at the 2018 24 Hours of Lemons race in Thompson CT.\xa0 We then listened to her on the first few Shifting Points podcast.\xa0 Then we met her at our recent skid pad and autocross event at Lime Rock Park with the SCDA group.\xa0 It was at this point, we realized that these three ladies were all the same person.\xa0 We could say we were overwhelmed at our second race; we could also say that we didn't recognize her since she was in her \u201cFlo\u201d costume, but it was great to meet her in person for the second time.\xa0 On this episode, we catch up with Elizabeth on her thoughts about the SCDA event, her new E30 race car and then we talk through how to learn to work on a car from a starting point of near zero skills, experience, and tools.\xa0 Both Elizabeth and Vicki have both progressed far in the past few years and maybe someday Bill will as well.\xa0 Lol. \xa0\xa0

On this episode\u2019s Dominating with Dawson, we go into Ben\u2019s extensive karting experience and discuss the various types of karts and kart racing available.\xa0 Karting can definitely help your driving and racing, most things translate, and it is a great way to practice for relatively low cost.\xa0 We do try to go into the parts of karting that translate and what doesn\u2019t translate directly due to the difference in car geometry and suspension.\xa0 While Ben is pulled away for his daddy duties, we take a slight detour into cake baking and decorating from our resident cake decorating expert, Miss Jen.\xa0 Our first ever partial WOOT DwD episode.\xa0 Even Ben came to the table with a Coca Cola cake, recipe tbd, lol.

Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 Bill herds/hosts this episode.\xa0 Vicki and Jen, as always, are so excited to have a fellow lady racing driver.\xa0\xa0

2)\xa0 Elizabeth races autocross and endurance racing and almost all other forms of driving she can try.\xa0 She started with a quick purchase of a 944 that then several other soon to be race cars.\xa0 Her latest purchase is her new BMW E30 prepped race car.\xa0 It even has a bit of history and we are sure Elizabeth will add to it as well.

3)\xa0 Elizabeth and Jen commiserate about the wonderful weather at their first Lemons event.\xa0 It was a downpour and the humidity hit a point where nearly all glass surfaces fogged making visibility even worse.\xa0 We then go into the importance of seating position and the effect it can have on the driver\u2019s ability to see as well.

4)\xa0 Bill starts a plan.\xa0 Nothing good can come of this.\xa0 It's looking like a girls race weekend is upcoming.\xa0 Bill is bringing palm fronds and a butler outfit for the ladies.

5)\xa0 The discussion on beginning to learn about working on cars from scratch begins around 28:30 or so.\xa0 Some great information that should help others go from garage zero to Garage Hero.\xa0 See what we did there, lol.\xa0 It was too easy to resist.

6)\xa0 To the surprise of no one, Vicki relates the car to her past arts and crafts projects.\xa0 The analogy does hold some merit from a material perspective.\xa0 Elizabeth has even gone into the area of the electrical system and wiring of her 944\u2019s.

7)\xa0 The ladies provide a ton of tips and tricks that they have learned along the way.\xa0 Some are very basic, but each one has been found to help us out.

8)\xa0 Two words:\xa0 parts car.\xa0 (Does this mean Bill can buy another car?\xa0 Sounds like it to him.)

9)\xa0 Jen and Bill are next in line on learning to work on the race cars.\xa0\xa0

10)\xa0 Vicki almost blows the super secret theme that we were working on and debuted at the Lemons race last weekend at PittRace.\xa0 Photos

11)\xa0 We then go into the favorite tools and tool highlights that Elizabeth and Vicki have at this point.
