There I was, scrolling my phone, then someone cracked open a Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus.
00:05
I grabbed my own and took a sip.
00:07
Next thing I know, I heard a rip. My friend tried the splits and skinny jeans.
00:12
The crew couldn't stop laughing. But hey, not a drop of Baja Cabo Citrus was spilled.
00:17
Have a blast with Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus. A punch of tropical citrus flavor.
00:30
From the great halls of their house, there are assembled three who hope to one day be the world's greatest driving heroes.
00:40
Created from the cosmic legends of the universe comes our team captain, the vision, Bill Fisher.
00:47
They're soon to be Wonder Woman, Vicki Fisher, our captain Marvel and head flight trainee, Jennifer Scribchock,
00:55
and our Batman, the master of tools, gadgets and all things mechanical.
00:59
Our mild-mannered soon to be billionaire, Alan Danvers.
01:03
Their mission to fight injustice, share what is right and wrong to get you out of your house
01:10
and come out racing with them and serve all mankind.
01:14
They are the garage heroes in training team.
01:20
Dominating with Dawson.
01:26
Ben Dawson, Ben Dawson. We need to clarify something. I need me some Ben Dawson.
01:32
Far noise. I'm here.
01:34
Oh, well, that wasn't exactly what I was going for. But at least you're here.
01:38
All right. We've had some people talking.
01:43
I could do the Eagles. We've had some people talking just the other day.
01:47
They disagreed with what I know to be factually correct.
01:55
Oh, how dare they? Let's take these people to task right away.
01:59
I said, you know, when you disagree with me and I know it's right, guess who's going to also agree with me?
02:06
Because I know I'm 100% on this one.
02:08
If you come out the king, you better best come correct.
02:11
That's right. Don't worry because I'm going to bring me some Dominate with Dawson.
02:14
So, Ben Dawson, Ben Dawson.
02:17
When passing, is it safer to pass close to the car?
02:24
Or is it safer to pass with a wide gap between the cars?
02:30
I would choose closer to the car.
02:36
Do you have reasons for this or do I get on my soapbox?
02:39
I would choose closer to the car so it's more likely that they see.
02:42
I'm over there and it's just fully out of their field of vision.
02:45
I mean, closer to the car doesn't mean a half an inch away from their door panel,
02:49
but I want to be in a similar proximity where maybe I get a little whiff of that good grip
02:54
of where the line might be, especially if they edge over a little bit.
02:57
Let's share the line a little bit.
02:59
But yeah, closer proximity to the geometrical line that you want to be on
03:04
to optimize your turning radius.
03:07
What if it's on the straight?
03:10
Yeah, I want the advantage of being close to them just so they feel a little bit of pressure.
03:15
To me, it's not all about necessarily the, exactly, the, you know,
03:25
stealing the line from or being as close to being on line as possible.
03:29
But also it's about like, I mean, I'm French, but I'm right here.
03:33
I'm coming through.
03:37
Part of it is forcing your point.
03:38
We don't get into the, we don't talk about, we, I mean,
03:40
it's just called dominating with dolls.
03:41
I guess we might as well talk about dominating, but like, I'm not trying to,
03:45
I'm not trying to make this person not feel like they're being passed,
03:48
not feel like I'm squashing them behind me.
03:50
Like I'm pushing you behind me because I'm passing you.
03:52
Like I'm squeezing you.
03:53
I'm squeezing you behind me because I'm going faster than you.
03:56
And that's for you to be.
03:58
Part of it is part of it is a little bit of the psychological thing of like,
04:01
yeah, I could give you, I could be on the full other side of the track
04:04
to give you the most generalist passing experience possible.
04:07
Or you should have gotten out of the way of the last corner.
04:09
Now I'm going by and you're going to go by where I could reach out and
04:12
slap the side of your car.
04:13
You know what I mean?
04:14
So to me, that's part of my thinking is like, you know,
04:18
you're doing it, doing it close to, to, to maintain your advantage.
04:21
Geometrically on the track, you know, to, to be where you want to be
04:25
Um, you know, I'm not, I'm certainly not talking about side
04:33
There's no arrow happening here.
04:34
There could be some arrow with bump drafting nose to tail.
04:37
But in this kind of situation, there's nothing,
04:39
there's no arrow advantage to be gained or anything like that.
04:42
But I mean, there is a, I mean, there is.
04:44
I hate to use the word, but I mean, you're kind of,
04:48
you're kind of forcing their hand and intimidate them a little
04:51
If you just write next to them, like, this has happened.
04:52
This is what's going on.
04:53
Um, you know, and I think, I think also does keep them
04:56
aware of like, there's a car right there.
04:59
Um, you're also limiting their options.
05:01
If you're all the way across the track,
05:02
you have some tons of room for activities to do other crafts
05:05
that might be, that might interfere with your past,
05:07
but you got them kind of hemmed in right next to you.
05:10
You're right next to them.
05:11
You're kind of forcing, uh, what they're able to do
05:13
and what they're not able to do.
05:14
Does that make sense?
05:16
You know what, you know what?
05:17
This is an opportunity for me to practice my,
05:19
my, uh, my improv skills.
05:28
One, if anybody's interested, uh, in joining our Patreon,
05:32
uh, we would immediately sign up Ben Dawson for Duolingo
05:35
because he obviously needs to know what French is
05:37
because his French and real French, very different.
05:41
Second thing, it's in addition to everything Ben said,
05:46
which is appropriate, you know, the car can see you.
05:49
Uh, you don't want to give them too much room.
05:51
You get a little bit of the line.
05:53
Uh, they, they don't do anything weird that you can't see.
05:56
The blind spots are smaller, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
05:59
It's simple physics, right?
06:01
If you are opposite sides of a straightaway,
06:05
I'm just going to do a straightaway.
06:06
Not, not even going to complicate things with a turn.
06:08
If you're going down a straightaway and it's,
06:10
you know, I think roughly they're about 40 feet wide.
06:13
You have one car on the left side going to a turn,
06:16
just straight turns way down the road and one car on the
06:21
right, right? If those two cars hit,
06:25
they have all that distance to build up momentum and come in
06:30
If they are six inches apart, you're going to get a donut.
06:34
Okay, you get a donut, but really,
06:36
you don't have that much time to build up sideways forces.
06:40
So it minimizes the consequence of if there is contact,
06:45
it can't be big because you're not going to be going
06:48
down a straightaway and then all of a sudden one guy says,
06:50
hey, left turn right in the middle of a straightaway.
06:53
Not a lot of people do that.
06:54
Now, does a car break or does a wheel pop and things happen?
06:58
Yeah, but it's still better to be close than it is to be far.
07:02
You should pass close because there's no blind spots.
07:04
The blind spots are smaller and the amount of energy
07:07
you can transfer between the two cars is reduced
07:12
Yeah, you know, you can come from way across the track
07:15
and wallop the crap on somebody.
07:17
And to me, honestly, I didn't think about that
07:20
because I think if you're doing what we do with endurance racing,
07:24
DEs or whatever, you're always doing it.
07:27
You should be doing it.
07:28
I fully promote doing it with the zero contact mindset.
07:32
Contact is just so far from my frame of reference
07:35
that I don't even think about it.
07:36
I'm always assuming that I'm going to do every race I do
07:38
without touching another vehicle.
07:41
But that's a good safety consideration
07:44
that's kind of in the back of your mind.
07:45
But yeah, it didn't even occur to me that I need to limit
07:48
how much contact I could have or how much force would be in there
07:52
because I'm just never in the frame of mind
07:54
where anything I do is going to result in contact.
07:57
But yeah, that's another good point.
07:59
I'm much more centered on the intimidation
08:02
and the edging of the person over like,
08:04
get the hell out of my way.
08:05
I'm coming through here.
08:07
I got stuff to do and passing you is one of them.
08:11
I can't wait around behind you or next to you.
08:14
I believe this is coming soon to a story near you.
08:17
Ben Dawson, Dominique Dawson,
08:20
they call it a race, not a weight.
08:23
The Ben Dawson story, it's a race, not a weight.
08:29
And it does cut down on the size of the blind spot
08:34
just geometrically.
08:35
So you've got geometry.
08:37
You've got physics.
08:38
And you've got domination.
08:41
Well, and so tell me this.
08:43
So you got an opposing viewpoint to this, correct?
08:45
You were taking that.
08:47
So what was their reason?
08:51
So if something happened, the cars could react.
08:55
And I'm like, are you going to?
09:01
It's a race, not a tea party.
09:06
It seems rather weak.
09:09
But I could be wrong if I am.
09:12
Garage, you're in training at gmail.com.
09:16
Or go to Bill's house and throw a brick with your message
09:18
taped through a window through his window in his house.
09:21
Take your message to a brick and throw it through his window.
09:24
Yeah, but don't do it when you're really close to the window.
09:29
Bill lives in the Waffle House on a route.
09:33
That's good, everybody.
09:35
We have the Waffle House.
09:37
We have a Waffle House in town, actually.
09:39
Everybody, everybody, there's already got a gun.
09:41
So it'll be cool. No problem.
09:44
I would like to order some pancakes with butter.
09:49
I want butter with my butter and my butter.
10:15
alleyway is for extremely murdery
10:20
shit happening all the time, where the hunters would clash with the
10:24
Not a great combination like angry,
10:28
situations, you know, like knives and actually it's something tells me
10:33
Waffle House and not going to be sponsoring any Dominic Dawson is coming up
10:36
after that description. We did it again. Why do we got to start talking
10:39
about? There goes our there goes our millions. Oh, well, we'll survive.
10:45
Well, I say when you when you are trying to execute a pass, be more
10:50
like as close proximity of two people fighting in a Waffle House than two
10:54
people yelling insults across the bar in a cheesecake factory, you
10:57
know what I mean? Here we go. Oh, now the cheesecake factory is not
11:02
going to sponsor us. God, I gotta shut my mouth. We're never
11:06
going to make it big time. Thank you, Ben. Thank you. That was
11:12
a good one. That was fun to think about.
11:27
I was ordering food for the office from the same few places for too
11:44
long for workplaces suffering with office food fatigue every day's a
11:48
struggle before starting Easy Cater. I assumed having no good
