GHIT Podcast Episode 0142:\xa0 Alex Levinson Orchestrates a Coup D\u2019\xe9tat with Some Friends

\xa0

We never had control to lose, but we somehow lost it anyway.\xa0 You have been warned

\xa0

It all started innocently enough, Alex Levinson was coming onto the podcast and we had a plan to talk about racing and go karting.\xa0 Little did we know there was a devious plot afoot.\xa0 It began to dawn on us as he was signing in and the Zoom window label came through as Amanda.\xa0 All was good, he was pretending to be Amanda, we would love to be half the driver and have half the mechanical knowledge and skills she has.\xa0 Then the video came through and there was Amanda and Alex, but there was more.\xa0 Off to the side, there was Donnie Petrunak, another well-known racer and a man who adds vowels to the pronunciation of his name without actually taking the time to write them into his name.\xa0 Inauspicious start, but no worries, yet.\xa0 Then we asked one question and I\u2019m not sure we spoke again, lol.\xa0 Strap in for this one, it\u2019s quite a ride.

\xa0

On our Dominating with Dawson, we cover one of Ben\u2019s favorite racing games, playing with the flags and how the simple act of paying attention can help you during a race.

\xa0

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Highlights from this episode include:

1)\xa0 Comparison of the NASCAR approach to our Lucky Dog approach at the Charlotte Roval

2)\xa0 An update on Alex\u2019s 2000 NB Miata daily driver that was crashed into at Charlotte while parked in the lot.\xa0 It doesn\u2019t even make a good story.\xa0

3)\xa0 A tremendous story about Alex\u2019s encounter with Paul Blart Jr.

4)\xa0 Donnie \u201cthe Fist of God\u201d Petrunak gives an update of his latest car battles and it sounds just like a normal day in the life of the Fail Inc Motorsports racing team and Florida Man Racing.\xa0 Remember, no \u201ci\u201d in Petrunak, but being high maintenance, he wants one pronounced anyway, lol.

5)\xa0 Apparently running cheaty BMW\u2019s runs in Amanda\u2019s family, so its really not her fault since its hereditary.

6)\xa0 Stories and introductions to their three racing teams and cars. Alex takes 10 minutes, Donnie about 3, and Amanda about a minute, just like their lap times.\xa0 Lol.

7)\xa0 Donnie has his doctorate but apparently cannot count past 6, since that is the number of cars he \u201cclaims\u201d to have.\xa0

8)\xa0 Hospital, hospitable, same, same.\xa0 Words are hard, maybe as hard as numbers.

9)\xa0 Alex impersonates one of those old toys where you pull a string and it just keeps talking and talking.\xa0

10)\xa0 Amanda answers the question as to what happened to her E36 BMW at Thompson.\xa0 That car is usually an anvil and a monster.

11)\xa0 Donnie has an issue with a certain wall at Daytona.\xa0 But the walls always seem to win.

12)\xa0 Alex offers Donnie\u2019s services to all the front running cars at NHMS and we warn others about allowing Mental nearby.

13)\xa0 Several opinions about running a true 24 race from our guests.\xa0 Still sounds like work to us though.

14)\xa0 Alex gets a new nickname.\xa0 Say hi to his new nickname \u201cGrandpa\u201d.

15)\xa0 Jen gets to ask a question.\xa0 Bet you forgot she was there.\xa0 I'm pretty sure she did too.

16)\xa0 We received an update that we are the #4 automotive podcast in all of Indonesia.\xa0 Thank you to the fans there and please ignore our guests.\xa0 They were like an alcohol fueled dragster, just without the dragster.\xa0 They even laughed at a one or two of Bill\u2019s jokes.

17)\xa0 How Donnie learned to drive.\xa0 This explains a lot.

18)\xa0 Alex realizes that he is actually a race winning Porsche driver (as is Amanda), but he still can\u2019t pronounce Porsche.\xa0

19)\xa0 Donnie has one of the best \u201ccar that got away\u201d stories we may ever hear.

20)\xa0 Alex has an amazing car ultimate road trip path.\xa0
