LIVE
From the great halls of their house, there are assembled three who hope to one day be
the world's greatest driving heroes.
Created from the cosmic legends of the universe comes our team captain, the vision Bill Fisher.
They're soon to be Wonder Woman, Vicky Fisher, our captain Marvel and head flight trainee,
Jennifer Scribchock, and our Batman, the master of tools, gadgets and all things mechanical,
our mild-mannered soon-to-be billionaire, Alan Danvers.
Their mission to fight injustice, share what is right and wrong, to get you out of your house
and come out racing with them, and serve all mankind, they are the garage heroes in training team.
Dominating with Dawson
Something I've been wanting to say for a very long time.
Ben Dawson, Ben Dawson, I need me some Ben Dawson!
Woohoo!
Great news, great news, you got it.
It's been a minute, huh?
That's right.
The call block on my texts has turned off, he's now popped up and ready to play some more.
That's right, welcome back me.
So all the people running in saying, did Ben get smart and finally turn you people down? Nope.
Ben got lazy.
I think we all needed a break, a little bit of one.
But I missed you guys.
I'm glad to be talking about a little bit of racing with y'all.
What do we got today?
Alright, we have a listener question from Code Name Vicki.
Fantastic.
Surprise, surprise!
What?
Code Name Vicki, I don't know who that could be.
Ben Dawson, we had a podcast earlier on and we were talking with the famous Peter Kraus
and we were talking with the equally famous Ross Bentley.
A listener still had questions even after attending a class with them for two days.
Wow, how about that?
I think it's a simple question, but maybe it's not.
Maybe I'm overthinking or underthinking, who knows.
Alright, let's hear it.
Simple, what is full throttle?
And what does it mean to get back the full throttle?
Full throttle is when you have your throttle application, which means applying the throttle.
Either open or close or somewhere in between.
It's when you have it fully open, as open as it can be.
When you stretch the throttle cable with your finger up under the hood and pull it as tight as you can,
then you double check and make sure that when you press the pedal down, it's also just as tight.
That's full throttle when the throttle position is all the way up.
Does that make sense? Is that what you think?
Well, I'm thinking right foot. What is full throttle?
That's when my right foot is all the way down to the floor.
I believe the 70s had a saying, pedal to the metal, I believe was the question.
No, I believe the phrase in the 70s was gas, grass or ass.
The 70s had a few phrases, you know, he's pounding down, you know, things like that.
So, Miss Vicki, let's pretend we put you in the seat of code name Vicki.
And could you maybe put your mind in their mind and figure out what the hell they are confused about?
What are they asking? I did not understand when they wrote in and said, what is full throttle?
What is the breakdown?
So, when you're racing around a track and everybody's like, you just got to be full throttle.
Well, some parts of the track, you cannot be full throttle.
You just can't because you are over speeding sections of the track or maybe you run out of skill.
Because I don't know, it's like, I guess some cars can, I guess, go around the track at 110 miles an hour and just hit every turn at 110 miles an hour.
But that's what I mean, it's like full throttle.
That's what code name Vicki means, yeah.
Yeah, you know, sometimes you might be full throttle in what, third gear?
You might be full throttle in fourth gear?
I think I'm seeing a potential chink in the armor of this logic.
But Brent, do you want to jump in on this one or am I going to sleep in the bathtub? What do you want to do, Ben?
I think you may have to go straight to the bathtub because some of her reply was breaking up from even it sounded like she was sort of making the decision that you could be in full throttle.
And then second gear, you could be in full throttle in the fifth gear.
Full throttle might not mean the same thing everywhere.
Is that kind of what we were saying?
Yeah, yeah.
A variable understanding of the throttle.
It's like you slow down for a turn and then you're, you know, foot to the floor, like all the way around the track.
No.
And that's the translation of full throttle is your foot's to the floor constantly, constantly, but you can't have your foot to the floor constantly without eventually throwing all your stuff off the track.
I got you, I understand.
So your impression of full throttle means you're driving with your foot all the way on the floor all the time, fully around the track.
When they say full throttle, that's what, that's how it translates.
Right.
So that's not, that's not what it means.
Full throttle doesn't mean you are suddenly on the throttle all the time.
And when somebody's saying, Hey, are you full throttle coming at a turn three right away?
Or are you having, you know, are you having to get all the way to this point to be full throttle?
That's what they're asking us.
They're asking about where's your throttle pedal at that moment on the track?
You know, when you're like, you know, I'll use an example from VIR, of course.
But you're like, Hey, Ben, are you flat through the lesson?
Don't change things.
Just don't.
That's right.
Don't change.
Hey, Ben, are you, are you able to drive up through the S is flat out, which also is another word for full throttle.
Right.
And part of your, I think part of your answer that I couldn't hear very well is some cars might be able to go flat out through a section and others might be able to be full throttle through a specific section and some may not.
And the bet, there's no better example of this than a Miata, just about anywhere.
Like there are so many places you can go full throttle through a whole section of a course, whereas other cars that are building more speed will have to lose more speed before they can carry that similar kind of speed that you and your Miata can, can carry through.
When you were able to hold your foot to the floor and keep the throttle open, but full throttle is generally referencing where is your throttle position at a certain point on the track.
And somebody says, Hey, you got to go full throttle.
Nobody's saying they can go drive that thing off a cliff because that would happen to any of us.
If any of us were going to drive this car with, and nobody's out there doing that.
There's nobody out there driving a car flat out around an old track unless, you know, this is an oval track or, you know, NASCAR super speedway or something.
Yeah.
But, but I, I do have to say that, you know, part of driving is language.
And, and, and, yeah.
So, and that, that was one where they kept saying, you need to be full throttle.
And I'm just like, what does that mean?
No, that's fine.
I mean, it's a, I think, I think Bill and I were trying to work our way back to figure out figuring out where is the rupture in the understanding here.
Because we had, you know, people who know the term is that one understanding.
Then when you finally kind of explain them like, Oh, no, I think Vicky thinks you're pretty much supposed to like the match, throw it in the gas tank and then strap yourself in.
That's right.
You're supposed to be puckering all the way around constantly.
You know, it's more of a, it's more of a, it's more of a targeted type of query when you're talking to a driver, you're like, Hey, are you flat out through here?
Or sorry, are you full throttle through here or not?
Or when, you know, how quickly are you able to get the full throttle?
Because the second part of Bill's question was what, first part was what does full throttle mean?
Or the second part was what, what does full throttle do for you?
Or what were you asking Bill?
Well, I think code name Vicky's problem is she has inserted a word that is not meant to be in there.
And you're thinking full throttle all the time.
No one said all the time.
Right. It's just part of the book.
We're just talking about a specific part of the track.
It's like, when can you get back to full throttle?
Where do you get back to full throttle?
Let's go to road Atlanta.
When do you get back to full throttle coming out of turn seven?
It's not on full throttle the entire way.
And I just hit the brakes to slow down every now and then, but my foot still planted to the ground.
Especially in your Miata, I mean, in code name Vicky, if she drew her Miata.
When you are on the throttle, you are on the throttle.
There is very few places you're going to have maintenance throttle, which is less than full throttle.
Almost all the time, full throttle in a Miata is full throttle all the time.
You're on the throttle or you're on the throttle.
There could be some S's where you do some maintenance throttle, but by and large, full throttle to the brake, trail brake in, get your turn done, then get back to full throttle as quick as we can.
You're not full throttle through the turn, but you're full throttle up to the closest point you can do and still do the turn the way you want and back to it as quick as you can.
Right.
So I think that also it's the mechanics of the breakdown of this language also translating it into the car.
So does that mean like as soon as you are out of a turn or you just put to the floor immediately?
Unless you're in a car that has enough power to spin the tires where you need to modulate the gas on, yes.
I mean do you agree full throttle as soon as you can, quick as you can.
Like right to the floor, slam it.
If you're on the gas pedal and you're not going into a turn that you need to modulate or you're in an S's or something like that, yeah, on the floor.
I know it seems like an amateur question, but when newbies don't understand the language from the beginning, they carry that through their entire race and that's part of the hiccups.
Unlearning bad.
Right.
That's one of the things of unlearning as it comes from early language of being instructed and not coached, I guess.
So we were, you and I were at an event and a friend of ours, a code name Alyssa was in your Miata.
This is where it came from.
Well, this is for instance, maybe.
And I remember sitting there and you could tell the difference between when you were in the Miata and when she was in the Miata.
And I remember Peter Kraus jumping up and down saying one word at the top of his lungs.
Commitment.
Which was commitment.
Because when she was on the throttle, it was full every time, full flat floor.
And that's a difference that I think you could grow to.
Not something I want you to do next time out, first time on the drive.
Let's do this, but try to get there.
Yeah, for me, my experience was coming out of the world of karting.
Where you weight, you and your vehicle weight 350 pounds together and you have 10 horsepower.
Where the throttle was a switch pretty much.
Right into Miata, where also the throttle is a switch.
It's an on off switch for the most part.
You're almost never, ever, ever, ever going to need to feather the throttle or be progressive with the throttle in the Miata.
If you're driving in 800 horsepower Corvette on 200 treadwear tires or something, then all of a sudden.
You're going to be able to overrun how much traction you have with how much drive you have.
Like you have too much power.
You can, you can spend the rear wheels with the Miata.
Probably somewhere between 100 and 120 horsepower.
Even a BW3.
You can stomp, you can stomp on that guys without any worry of it's been the rear tires.
But that's not to say that 110 horsepower or whatever Miata has isn't significant or useful.
It's just not the same kind of power is going to spend the rear tires, but it is the same kind of power that's going to let you drive your ass off all day and become a really good driver.
And I think the idea of any importance and the reason people stress getting to full throttle coming out of a corner as quickly as possible is that when you're at full throttle or the throttle position is all the way open.
That's when you have the most ability to make speed.
Yeah, there are factors that are going to affect how much, how much acceleration you have come out of the corner as you apply the throttle, depending on the steering angle you still have.
You know, how, how loaded is your outside tire versus your inside tire?
How quickly can you get the wheels straight and get the vehicle squared up to then take off?
I mean, these are all things that they can affect it, but the main thing that affects that is the position of the throttle.
So the idea of getting that throttle pedal all the way down first and then dealing with everything else later is the idea of like, let's get this thing moving.
And even if things are squirrely or coming out, I'll deal with that.
But the main thing is I want to have the throttle pedal down.
So if you're watching like a video for like watching my video of me driving, I'm way more concerned with getting the throttle pedal down.
Even if the car gets assy or if it's tight, like if the front end doesn't want to go over, the ass end doesn't want to go too much.
Whatever that is, it's the key to me in that situation is trying to get the throttle pedal down to full throttle.
So I don't think I use the term full throttle very much.
But trying to get back to full throttle as quickly as possible and dealing with whatever minor adverse handling consequences come with that as I work with it.
So not everybody can do that.
And it's something you've got to kind of work up to.
But having the full throttle as your ideal that you're always working up to like, man, I got to get this wheel straight so I can, you know, mad the gas and go or, or man, I got to get through this thing so I can get my foot back down.
But that's always your goal is to be as fully committed into the throttle as you could be in that instance.
I mean, it's not right in a little bit quarter like Bill said, but, but it is sort of like, you know, if you were somebody who wears a like a cross around your neck for your religion,
leave the cross at home on track weekends and then wear a metal around your neck that says full throttle.
That's how important it is.
Like, make that your religion at the track full throttle.
I got to get the throttle open because I got to go.
I got to do.
I got to win this race with no way to run.
It's a race, not a weight.
Let's crack this all open right now.
It's a race, not a weight.
Damn right.
Every time he says that you treated like it's the first time you've ever heard him say it, but funny.
So, so let's pretend we're at Middle High on my dear.
Yes.
And we're coming out of the keyhole.
Nice 180 degree turn.
Let's say you're in third gear.
Yep.
Right.
Mm hmm.
You get the cars getting out of that turn.
You're getting down to that back straightaway.
And as soon as you can, you get the full throttle in third gear.
Mm hmm.
Right.
Yep.
And then you ride full throttle all the way to when you're at the red line, hopefully just a little short.
Pop the clutch off the gas, pop the clutch, change gear, put the gas down.
Boom, full throttle the entire way.
Fourth gear.
Hopefully you get the fifth gear.
If you've done this early enough, you've carried enough speed, hopefully you get the fifth gear.
Is it worth going and maintaining full throttle in fourth gear and hitting the rev limiter or getting that extra few hundred feet in fifth gear?
Probably worth getting the fifth gear.
If it's like 10 feet, maybe not worth it.
Maybe not worth the shift.
Mm hmm.
But try to get to fifth gear as soon as you can as early as you can on that back straight.
And then downshift going into China Beach, right?
Yes.
But you're full throttle going into the keyhole.
Once you're braking, obviously not full throttle, maintaining your gas through the keyhole because it's a fairly long turn.
Mm hmm.
And then you are as soon as you can, as early as you can, even with the car still sliding a little bit.
Full throttle.
That's right.
And then full throttle the entire way, except when you're shifting because you don't want to be power shifting.
Yes.
Full throttle.
Yeah.
It kind of makes sense now that I've kind of stepped back a little bit and kind of digested everything from the last couple years.
That those are some of the things that I've already been doing or working on.
It was just the language of it.
Like I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, but actually I wasn't.
I was just...
Like if you were to do a drag race, right?
Mm hmm.
You adjust the clutch, you get off the line.
Full throttle.
Mm hmm.
When you shift, blip the gas back on the gas.
Full throttle.
Right.
Full throttle until you hit the end.
Hopefully you're in a car fast enough to need a parachute because it's just cool.
I mean, let's be real.
Cars with parachutes.
Yeah.
Never driven one, but it sounds like it would be cool.
Full throttle.
If you're not spinning the tires because you're accelerating too fast or you've got too much torque spinning the tires.
If you're not losing entire traction and you're going straight, you have nothing else to do but be full throttle.
There's nothing else to do.
Yeah.
Don't be lazy.
Yeah, I've already been doing that.
I tell you, was it Alyssa?
Was her name?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very inspiring when she gave me a reference lap.
Couple reference laps.
And if you notice, if her reference lap has a...
I'm doing figures for the people at home.
Her reference lap had a little steeper acceleration than yours.
Uh-huh.
You know why?
Because she was full throttle and she was...
She was full throttle as soon as she got out of the turn.
That's right.
Did you guys get to meet Alyssa Merrill?
Yes.
Yeah, she drove out.
I haven't met her, but I'm just like a social media connector.
I think that would be really cool to get to say hi.
I mean, that's awesome.
Yeah.
I can ride around with her.
Yeah, she came out and she took the car out at the Ross Bentley clinic that I went to.
And she just referenced lap that got data and everything and they compared the data.
They were similar, except I just didn't get on the gun fast enough.
And you didn't get on it all the way.
That's where the time is.
Yeah.
Riding around as much of the guys as you can be on is where all your lap time is.
But there was similarity.
So that was a good thing.
You were good.
That's great.
If I recall, and I don't have the data in front of me, but if I recall, your men's speeds in the turns were about the same.
That's got her good time at the men's speed was shorter.
You know why?
Because she went back to full throttle.
That's right.
All right.
All right.
So Bill, let me help ease you away from the bathtub tonight.
And let's talk about something.
I can see a pillow in the bathtub already.
Let's try to help Bill out this time.
Let's try to help Bill out.
So yeah, it's been in that bag of golf balls.
You got last time in there, right?
So check this out.
I noticed a subcurrent in this discussion that I think is worth talking about while we're in here.
We're already talking about this, but Vicki, you've kind of gone along all those times.
We've had a pretty big misconception about jargon in our world with the term of full throttle, which is pretty central to the idea of racing and understanding applications.
So now we are there.
We've done it.
But I can picture so many times when I've been in one of those like classroom sessions with an instructor at the track where if I had a question like that, and I was as far along and this is you were.
I would have been like, I'm not going to ask that question because this guy's going to be a dick about answering it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know if you ever felt like I don't want to ask this question because this guy knows everything.
He's already spent this whole time up here trying to show everybody in this room that he knows everything, right?
And there are definitely times where I would have been a reticent to ask the question, especially if in the back of my mind, I'm like, I know this is a pretty basic concept and I should have this already.
Because I'm here with a bunch of advanced students or whatever it is.
I'm not trying to say this is your situation.
I'm just trying to put myself in the center kind of timeline.
But I would be like, this dude has been up here prancing up and down in front of all of us talking about how awesome he was.
I had a classroom instructor make us watch videos of him driving around VIR.
And his car was a turbo RX7.
So he had instead of us listening to him like doing this up in his car.
The whole thing was soundtrack to Judas Priest's Turbo Lover.
And we had to watch this guy rip his car around VIR.
His soundtrack was Turbo Lover on his videos.
And we had to watch him as if there was going to be some.
And then am I going to ask that guy?
Am I going to ask that full throttle?
He's like, no.
So I think it's important to get your questions out.
But I also understand the fact of being like, I'm not asking this full throttle.
He's going to be like, he's going to be a turd about it.
You know what I mean?
That's the feeling I have.
It's like an introvert of me asking questions to begin with.
I would have been watching this guy run at the driver's meeting or the classroom session straight up at them.
They're like, nah, I'll just go to the rest of our life.
I'd rather die than ask this for a question.
So I get it.
I'm not saying this like I have a solution.
I'm not telling everybody to just ask every question you have because it's hard to just say.
I just want to acknowledge that it's hard to ask these whizzened, hardened old track rats a question sometimes because they're just such guys about it.
Well, and I also think too, like in our situation, we're not talking about Ross and Peter, by the way.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
These guys are a class apart.
But I'm just saying like it's your average ass track day where some dude who should never be in front of people at all is running running the classroom session.
It's like, I don't want to deal with this.
Well, at the same time is that, you know, some some groups don't focus on that kind of training.
It's more of an external view.
Here's what you don't do, but they don't tell you what to do.
So, you know, depending on where you go for instruction.
Some of those details are already assumed because, you know, you're already doing it already been doing it.
And I believe that sometimes when people get so far along that they kind of forget what the basics actually are.
So some of those rudimentary questions, they just they just never really come up.
And, you know, in my head, I've gotten this far along, and I've been doing the work and I've been doing it correctly, just not getting the language matched up to it.
Right.
So that's a tough one.
I totally understand how you got there.
Yeah.
And, you know, early on in those seasons, too, you're just being blasted with a fire hose with information.
So, you know, it's just like, do this, do this, don't do this, now go.
Okay.
And that's what it is.
And then it's just and then, you know, you come back in and everybody complains about point buys.
So that's all the instruction that you get is just a whole, you know, 20 minutes of everybody complaining about point buys.
Okay, now go out and do it again.
And that's it, you know.
So, you know, you're, so you're learning on your own and you're grabbing information as you go along and, you know, things slip up.
And I'm sure there's plenty of stupid questions like, you know, and we've had the questions before is the whole concept of heel toe.
You know, we, I think we've already had these conversations about, you know, the idea and design and the workings of a heel toe.
I'm not supposed to heal my body when my toes still hurt.
That's right.
But, but, you know, the thing was, is that watching it happen, like on a film or something like that, where you go through it, but somebody trying to explain it.
It doesn't make sense.
It really doesn't.
It's complicated as he'll tell you like, wait, what?
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
And how does that work?
And what if the pedals are too far apart?
And sometimes it's, it's just weird.
So, so, yeah, I mean, it's, you know, some, it's, I think for me, the hardest part, one of the hardest parts about racing and working on cars is just language and definition and symbols of, you know, what parts are and how they operate.
It's, it's literally, it is a whole different language that you're learning.
It's a whole different world.
Yeah.
It is, it is.
So, things slip up and, you know, it's never, never be ashamed to ask any of the questions for clarification because it's, it helps you unlearn bad habits.
If only there was a podcast that dealt with one-to-one type things.
Maybe, I bet you they could get a lot of episodes about all these little basic questions.
Yeah.
I know, you know what, I know that I have more.
It's just that we've been away for, for a little while.
And they're just, I guess you would call them fine-tuning at this point, you know, fine-tuning and clarifications.
But I really am amazed that I've made it this far along and not really understanding that definition properly.
Well, we got that covered tonight.
So, that's a big step.
Speaking of things we need to cover tonight, before we ditch this one.
Ben Dawson, Ben Dawson.
We've had some listener feedback since we brought up the short hiatus and, you know, family life, medical, physical, spiritual storms.
We had some feedback.
Great.
And they wanted to discuss, perhaps even have a full-length episode on driving songs.
And I was wondering if, you know, the one thing that's a problem with the podcast is you sit there, you're trying to concentrate on the question, you're trying to concentrate on the answers, you're trying to listen to everybody.
And it's hard to think at the same time.
And the best thing about having it being eloquent and fluent in your speech is not thinking when you're talking.
Right.
No problem.
Guilty.
Did you listen to our Driving Songs podcast and sit there and say, you know, we forgot?
Or am I going down the wrong path?
Did I listen to the Driving Songs?
Do you have any driving songs that we missed?
Do you have any, like, you're like...
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's just start with full transparency.
It's possible I might not have even been aware that there was a Driving Songs episode.
Let's just get that out there.
Well, we did it.
That could be...
Was I on it?
Was I in there?
Did I do it?
You were on it.
Jesus Christ.
So I don't remember what was said or what was established, but I'll say I've been really enjoying electric feel lately.
Everybody loves electric feel.
That's a great driving down the road song.
My kids have been into it.
Also, Spirit in the Sky.
Oh, yeah.
The Kentucky Head Hunters Dream Bomb.
Not Norman Green Bomb, the Kentucky Head Hunters version.
Oh, Slammin'.
Really?
Slammin'.
Check that out.
Great driving song.
You got to have ACDC ride on.
All Bond Scott's on.
I'm on a ride on.
Yeah.
Any ZZ Top pretty much gets you down the road for you, I'm sure.
Dwight Yocum.
Great driving songs.
That's what I got to say today.
All right.
I figured we needed to chime in and give you your shot.
Yeah, I also listened to it.
What do I have to listen to with my daughter tonight?
It's my music hat because it's still up there.
Uh-oh.
Oh, I had to listen to Baby Rap.
There's also a song called It's Raining Farts, I think.
My son was like, hey, look up.
It's Raining Farts.
And I did think it wasn't a song.
But guess what?
It's a song.
It's a song.
So don't drive.
Listen to Baby Rap where it's Raining Farts unless you hate yourself.
But those are a couple other driving songs that I've encountered lately.
I'm not big on.
And as a public service announcement, speaking for the entire paddock at New Hampshire Motorsports
Park, Baby Shark is not a driving song, especially at 730 in the morning, Sunday morning.
Have you guys ever done a NASA Mid-Atlantic event before?
I think we did a crossover.
I don't think we did a full-fledged one.
So the guy, Chris Cabello, who runs NASA Mid-Atlantic, I don't know if he still does this or not.
He does.
It's supposed to be on the broadcast.
We just keep missing each other at schedules.
Also, a guy who called me at 9.30 in the morning on a Friday one day when I was at work to
talk to me about a Facebook comment I made and just check in and see where my head was
at.
I was like, hey, don't you have a full-time job?
Because I do.
I don't want to talk about a Facebook comment at 9.30.
How did you get my cell phone number?
Anyway, this guy, Chris Cabello, he always sings, I think it's the Frank Sinatra song,
Fly Me to the Moon.
Because he's trying to get ready to wake up and start hearing something.
He's like, Fly Me to the Moon.
Just him singing.
He's not playing the song over the radio.
It's him singing it over the radio.

Original notes
DwD 0751: What is Full Throttle and More (and We're Back)
We resume with a listener question from Code Name Vicki and it is about what is full throttle, wha tit means, when to be, etc, etc, etc. It seems simple, maybe even trivial, but it has been the cause of some confusion with our listener and several other students we have instructed in the past. Sometimes the issue is misunderstanding a term or dare we say racing jargon. And a few shout outs from us to (hopefully soon to be guest) Alyssa.
