DwD 0476: Racing Classes – Builder's Classes vs Driver's Classes (Jeremy Fill)

DwD 0476:  Racing Classes – Builder's Classes vs Driver's Classes (Jeremy Fill) There are generically two different types of racing series.  One is a builder's class where you can build and enter almost anything that complies with a fairly open rule book.  Other racing classes are more specific on what cars and modification are allowed and focus more on the difference being largely due to the driver skill and relatively less on the car build.  Spec class racing is usually more of a driver's class type of racing.  We discuss some of the differences between these two types of series and help show the advantages and disadvantages of each.  Probably the first part of many in this area.

DwD 0474:  Overdriving Observations and Indications   Ben is joined on this episode by both special guests Mental Ward and Santa Jeremy to discuss some indications that you may be overdriving on track.  Ben is a firm believer in driving to the limit but for some of our less experienced listeners driving at the limit can be difficult and sometimes dangerous.  In addition, this is significantly increasing the wear and tear on your car and can impact your team's ability to successfully complete an endurance race.  Less of a concern for Time Trials and Sprint racing.

GHiT 0471: Zach Caldwell Live from the Great American Bro'd Trip

GHiT 0471:  Zach Caldwell Live from the Vannonball Great American Bro'd Trip Zach Caldwell calls in live for GingerMan raceway from his fourth straight race weekend in the race van to conclude the 2023 Great American Vannonball Bro'd Trip. Why race in a minivan? Why race 4 weekends in a row?  Why a 2006 Dodge Caravan is the world's greatest race car? How tired can one person be?  All this and more in this one. Bill has some terrible ideas brewing. In summary, the Great American Bro'd trip started off in Detroit and after 2,100 miles race 1 at Thunder Hill.  A swift and easy 700 miles to High Plains Raceway.  A few gallons of gas and 1,700 miles to NJMP Thunderbolt. And a final leg to a surprising entry to GingerMan raceway. To get back home after this, it was only 350 miles that took around 12 fatigue induced hours, lol.
