We finally have the whole El Jeffe team together to discuss our all ladies piloted team.\xa0 Elizabeth and Audra joined Jennifer and Vicki to talk about the race, how things went over the weekend and if/when the ladies will be returning to the track together.\xa0 The results of the race were exceptional.\xa0 The only issues we had that were racing related were due to the initial issue we fixed on Saturday.\xa0 Considering that this was Audra\u2019s first ever wheel to wheel race and Elizabeth had only entered two prior events, we are viewing this as a great win for the team.\xa0 Hear all the details, even some of the super secret ones.\xa0 All in all, each of them grew as drivers and learned a ton this weekend!\xa0\xa0

Still waiting for Alan\u2019s SpiderStang update but there was something shiny near his house so, \u2026\u2026.

PS\xa0 If you can't tell, Vicki was very excited to have the team back together to discuss the race.

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 Some of the shocking differences that Audra experienced in her first wheel to wheel race.

2)\xa0 Elizabeth and the team discuss some of the unforeseen benefits of having the seat adjusted for their size and not making due.

3)\xa0 Audra goes over our race strategy for her first stint on Saturday, as well as getting to practice on Friday before the event started with a much lower car count on the track.\xa0

4)\xa0 Elizabeth (and everyone) also found the practice helpful but really got a lot out of the (amazing) track walk with our friends at the Three Pedal Mafia.

5)\xa0 Find out if we have grabbed Audra from autocross?\xa0 We hope not.\xa0 We love both.

6)\xa0 The ladies discuss how important vision and spatial awareness is, especially as the speed increases or the traffic increases.

7)\xa0 We also address how each driver is a member of the team and how each car is really also part of the team and (usually) work together on track.

8)\xa0 The entire team began to see the benefits of having spotters on the track for each other, as well as the race craft.

9)\xa0 Audra tries to convey the chaos of a race weekend.\xa0 We have done so many events that we don't even notice anymore.

10)\xa0 The team discusses several ways of managing traffic, as well as passing and being passed on a fairly crowded track.

11)\xa0 How the ladies did in the paddock and garage prep by the team.\xa0 We were a bit out of our normal groove with all the unintended changes to our team pre-race, but everything went really well even though we had 3-4 different issues this weekend, one was for the last 5 or so races.

12)\xa0 Audra and Elizabeth also pointed out hat we missed a few opportunities to refine our tire pressures through the weekend.\xa0 Added to our list.\xa0 Along with a few other items we learned or noticed this race.

13)\xa0 Pit Stops.\xa0 We did a few, lol.\xa0 Black flags, not so much.

14)\xa0 Apparently, Audra is also part of the Connecticut tourism board and they were having a meeting in our paddock.\xa0 Who knew?

15)\xa0 It looks like Bill is going to have to find someone to drive with him (if the ladies have anything to say about it).
