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.

DwD 0531: Options to Balance Risk vs Lap Time When on track, there is always a certain degree of risk. During this episode, we cover some of the aspects where the initial assumption would be that faster lap times increase the associated risk. However, this may or may not be the case and also there are ways to take small risks and still push the limits towards going significantly faster. We also go into areas where you can take a small risk with little consequence vs taking a risk with larger

DwD 0529: Burnout – How to Know and How to Avoid We start with two different definitions of burnout that are related to racing. We then focus on what happens with “too much” racing, how to identify when this occurs and what you can do to avoid this or recover from this. This can take all the fun away from racing and that is just wrong. We then return and end with some tips to help you with the much more fun type of burnouts.
