Our second ever non-PG podcast, but it was so worth it.\xa0\xa0
Peter Hopelain joins us to discuss Bill\u2019s bucket list goal of racing in the Thunderhill 25 endurance race.\xa0 Peter has raced in the Thunderhill 25 nearly every year and also been on the podium several times and recently won his team\u2019s class.\xa0 We had a great discussion of the background of the race and how to prepare and compete.\xa0 Peter was also kind enough to stay on with us to discuss racing in general, his non-profit racing team, as well as some of his goals going forward.\xa0 We are so appreciative of Peter taking his time out from his incredibly busy schedule and giving us so much of his time.\xa0 He even put up with some of our Fast and Furious Storytime Questions.\xa0 We would love to have him on again and cannot wait to go into more details of his driving history and exploits.
In this episode of Dominating with Dawson, Vicki eventually asks Ben a question (after perhaps the longest intro of all time, lol) and we start to cover some of the adjustments that are available to you that can help to dial in a car\u2019s handling on track.\xa0 We cover some of the basic changes and the effect that they will have on the way the car feels and handles in a high performance driving scenario.\xa0 If you ever had a car that you wanted to adjust but were unsure how to, or in which direction to adjust, this episode may be very helpful to you.\xa0 Adjustment areas we reviewed included:\xa0 Sway bar/anti roll bars, tire pressures, wheel alignment, etc.\xa0 This is the likely the first of a many part series.
