GHIT 0321: \xa0Dave Mills Post our AER Race at PittRace

Long sought after guest Dave Mills is finally on the podcast that you may know from his online presence as the Caddy Wrecker.\xa0 Dave is a long-time racer, rallyist, and was working with the AER team at our race last weekend at PittRace.\xa0 With so many things to talk about, we try to get a review of Dave\u2019s rally and racing exploits as well as how he saw our race from the tower.\xa0 We also cover the Flagger system that was in our car that we mistakenly called by another product in our prior race review episode.\xa0 Please welcome to the podcast guest family.\xa0 Please excuse any of the internet induced noises and Robot Dave that appears sporadically within the beginning of the episode.

Also, a podcast first, help Dave find a new fun daily driver.\xa0 Let us know on Instagram, Facebook, or on our email at GarageHeroesInTraining@gmail.com.

Highlights for this episode include:

1)\xa0 Swag bribes work.\xa0 Looks its Dave!!!

2)\xa0 Some great tips about looking at what the better teams are doing and learning what they do and what they don\u2019t do, especially in the pits and paddock areas.\xa0 This literally can be the difference between winning a race and being midfield or worse.

3)\xa0 Dave has had quite a few unique rally experiences, especially the rally that occurred right as Covid was ramping up early in 2020.\xa0 He may hold the record for the longest time spent on a Lemons rally.\xa0 We are also not sure if that is something to be proud of or not.

4)\xa0 How Dave's professional experience has helped with the Flagger system that is being used by AER and is being reviewed by several other racing organizations.\xa0 Hopefully more to follow on this system in an upcoming podcast.

5)\xa0 We revisit the internet video where one driver missed a vast series of yellow flags.\xa0 If you missed it, the first video was on VinWiki and the actual rebuttal is available separately.

6)\xa0 What it is like to be "running" the race vs running in the race.

7)\xa0 As Dave is our first guest from AER, we go into a brief discussion of the differences between AER and several of the other series we usually discuss.\xa0 Especially the required pit stops system and some of the technology that the AER series employs in this mostly amateur series.

8)\xa0 Dave askes for some help in deciding on his next daily driver.\xa0 A podcast first and perhaps our first public service announcement.

9)\xa0 Dave's experience living off grid.\xa0 Its not for everyone, but he gives some tips and tricks that made it better.\xa0\xa0
