GHIT 0214: GHIT Host/Driver Updated Introductions - Bill

Published: July 21, 2021, 7:30 a.m.

It has been several years since we did our host/driver introductions and we thought we would update our newer listeners with a bit of background from each of our hosts.\xa0\xa0

You can probably blame Bill for most of our team and our podcast, but he does have noble goals, lol.\xa0 Bill was essentially a newbie to racing, driving, and pretty much remains so as far as car mechanical skills.\xa0 As always, our motto of \u201cif it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing\u201d applies to our team, our cars, and his driving education.\xa0 In most ways, Bill is our team manager and tries to herd the cats as best we can be herded.\xa0 He usually sets our team schedule and works on our systems, tools, supplies, parts, planning, and organization.\xa0\xa0

As a bonus, we included the original introduction we had way back when this all began (after we had only raced twice and had zero HPDE\u2019s etc.).\xa0 We hope you enjoy getting to know us better and learning where we are (or maybe where we think we are) and where we wish to go in the coming years.\xa0\xa0

If we missed something that you wanted to know, please let us know on our website or social media etc.\xa0\xa0

In this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we all share some of our \u201cbest\u201d car trailer stores we each have had in the past.\xa0 Which one of our experiences do you think wins the title?\xa0 Please let us know.

You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc. Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating or even better, a podcast review, we would greatly appreciate it and it would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving.

For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is very easy.\xa0 If you go to your podcast library, under shows and click on the podcast you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.\xa0

PS\xa0 Please do not forget that if you are looking to add an Apex Pro to your driving telemetry system, do not forget to use our discount code for all Apex Pro systems you will receive a free Windshield Suction Cup Mount for the system, a savings of $40.\xa0 Just enter the code \u201cghitlikesapex!\u201d when you order.\xa0 They are a great system and truly invaluable in safely increasing your speed on track and/or autocross etc.\xa0 The recently released second generation systems and app increases the capability of the system greatly.

Best regards,

Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 Ben and Vicki pretend to be interested in Bill for an hour plus.\xa0 Time to increase their pay.

2)\xa0 We go into personal and teams strengths, weaknesses and our growth since we started.

3)\xa0 Bill tries to stay our of "sleeping in the tub" and manages to almost make it 27 minutes before inserting his foot into his mouth, again.

4)\xa0 Finding the best HPDE group for your interests and goals, as well as using the different groups strengths to augment your learning.\xa0 For instance some groups have more lap time, some have better in class or in car instruction, some may be closer or cheaper, or have a better schedule match to your availability etc.

5)\xa0 The most shocking thing to Bill was Vicki's selection of her podcast highlight not being episode #68.\xa0 We give a short summary but leave out many of the details and the carnage.\xa0 probably worth a review for the details.\xa0 Ben was very entertained.

6)\xa0 We end with a review of Vicki, Ben, and Bill's opinions on their personal skill levels in a variety of racing skills and scenarios.\xa0 Alan and Jen will cover this in the next team re-introduction episode with Alan.

7)\xa0 The All Female GHiT racing team for our upcoming Thompson race is discussed for one of the first times.\xa0 Prepped, raced, and repaired 100% by our female team members.\xa0 Hopefully that last part is not needed, lol.
