An amateur endurance auto racing team hoping to show everyone that they too can participate in performance driving or racing. We are a relatively new team and learning right along with you.

We will cover all forms of racing and hope to be entertaining as well as educational.

DwD 0589: Power Steering - Good or Bad on Track? In an effort to answer a listener, Bill and Ben discuss having power steering in a race car. In a classic case of "it depends" we go over several things we like about power steering and unassisted steering. Its seemingly never a simple thing and to some point, personal preference is another factor, but we did babble on about several things to consider before making a blanket statement or a choice for your car.

GHiT 0583: Autocross with Audra We were so close to going to a local autocross that we thought it would be great to talk to Audra about what to do and expect. Autocross is a great way to start improving as a driver and helps with track driving as an excellent, low cost way to improve your skills, especially your car control skills. Audra has been autocross'ing for well over a decade and run many events with her team at her local autocross series. A link to the episode is:

In other words, managing the friction circle. Yep, here we go for try number 6 or so. Did we do it this time? Does it make sense now? Do you have a better way of explaining it? Let us know.
