Listener Request - Re-Release GHIT 0179:  Racing 101 Part 2 @ Safety Related Needs We are getting back to our podcast roots and wanted to start a special series Vicki calls “So You Wanna Racecar” that Bill can't seem to say correctly.  This is part 2 of the series (of ~10). On this episode of Bill is a Piñata, we go into the various safety related items that may be required to get on track or by the racing series.  There are a large number of items and many different options and features to take into consideration.  We try to summarize each item and area and provide a high level introduction that should help everyone to get started.  We have covered several of these areas in detail in prior episodes, but we wanted to review them here for someone  new to racing or new to high performance driving.  Please let us know if we missed anything that you may want discussed in a future episode of our Racing 101 Series.    The outline for the series is: Part 1:  Building Your First Racecar (and options to not) Part 2:  Safety and Safety Related Equipment Needed Part 3:  Best Entry Points To Start Performance Driving Part 4:  Buying and Selling Cars (With Special Guest Lara Vernon) Part 5:  Going To and From The Event/Track – What To Expect Part 6:  Paddock and Pit – Best Practices Part 7:  Perspective of a New Driver (With Guest Adam Owens) Part 8:  Tools, Spares, Supplies Needed for a Race Weekend Part 9:  Common Issues All Drivers Will/May Experience in When On Track For the First Time Part 10:  Miscellaneous Topics (& Things We Forget to Mention Earlier)   On this episode's Dominating with Dawson, we go into several Starting Grid and Paddock related tips:  One of the potentially intimidating things is arriving at the track for the first time and not knowing what to do.  I this episode, we cover what to do to get on the track for the first time including generic gridding and paddock setup and best practices to have a great time and keep everyone safe.  After this we hope you will feel like you've been there already even if it is your first event. You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc.  Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating or even better, a podcast review, we would greatly appreciate it and it would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving. For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is very easy.  If you go to your podcast library, under shows and click on the podcast you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.    We hope you enjoy this episode!   PS  Please don't forget that if you are looking to add an Apex Pro to your driving telemetry system, don't forget to use our discount code for all Apex Pro systems you will receive a free Windshield Suction Cup Mount for the system, a savings of $40.  Just enter the code “ghitlikesapex!” when you order.  We have two systems for our team and Bill is looking to add a third for this season, pending CFO approval from Vicki.  They are a great system and truly invaluable in safely increasing your speed on track and/or autocross etc. Best regards, Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers Highlights from this episode include: 1)  Apparently Vicki and Jennifer were not familiar with the term “Luxury Mammal” which we first heard from Randy Bish. 2)  We start off with a section covering racing seats and the use of seat inserts.  We did have a full episode with Joe Marko from HMS Motorsports on episode #149. 3)  Our Preference is to use a halo type seat with FIA certification and seat inserts to make a secure fit.  Ideally without sliders but if needed, please use double rail secure sliders from either Sparco or from a Jeep TJ. 4)  Mounting is critical for both comfort and safety, as well as getting into and out of the car, especially when using a halo seat or in smaller cars like a Miata etc. 5)  Bill reminds Jennifer and Vicki of the broomstick test as an example of how much gap there should be above your helmet and the roll bar/cage. 6)  Jennifer comes up with potential alternatives to help with fitting several different size drivers in a car.  She has a future on “Top Chef”. 7)  Our next discussion area is the racing helmet.  It protects your melon.  If it is a certified helmet, the only thing that really matters is that it fits you properly.  If you can try it on before you buy, please do so.  (Any movement is not good, and very tight areas can be a problem, especially in endurance racing.  Puffy cheeks as a good sign)  Also, if someone has a “Simpson head”, that does not imply the way they look.  At the time of this recording, 2010 helmets are cycled out, 2015 helmets should be “on sale” and 2020 is what you should be looking for. 8)  We discuss Greek desserts and the use of a balaclava with your helmet. 9)  Racing suits, different types, and options, as well as underlayers and a few tips and things to do or look out for and several resources to find potential deals.  As with the Helmets and seats, it is best to try them on before buying. 10)  We finally found a reason to listen to our podcast.  Don't miss it.  Lol. 11)  We also cover several different types and brands of head and neck restraining devices to help protect you neck in case of an accident.  There as several different types and additional complications when racing as a team and sharing H&N restraint devices.  Simpson offers a hybrid system that can be used with 3-point belts that are in stock/OEM cars. 12)  Flame resistant gloves and racing shoes are another item that may be required in most series and are a good addition to your driver bag.  Gloves and shoes see a lot of wear and tear so expect to replace them more often than the above items.  Also, conserve the wear of your fire resistant racing shoes by not wearing them around the race track and paddock, as well as not drying them in a dryer.  Don't ask how we know.  13)  Also, most series will require fire retardant socks within your shoes.  They disappear in the laundry just as well as normal socks, so be prepared.  14)  One items that is often not thought about is underwear etc.  Please stick with natural fibers like cotton.  Most synthetic materials like nylons, spandex, etc. will melt and fuse with your skin if exposed to the heat of a fire.   15)  Jennifer brings up the use of glasses and contact lenses in a race car.  Bill has strong opinions related to his laboratory background in this area.  Perhaps they may change your mind/opinion. 16)  The use of ear protection, in car/helmet radios and helmet speakers etc. 17)  There are several types of rear view mirrors available and we try to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type, as well as our team preferences. 18)  Fire extinguishers and Fire Suppression systems are often required and a great addition to your car and team.  There are a few types and options that have distinct advantages. 19)  Other items discussed include the emergency stop switch, auxiliary lighting, and brake light systems, cages and roll bars, and safety harnesses/seat belts and the various options and features available along with a few of the tips and tricks we have learned so far.  Still in training. 20)  Also, at some races or series you will be using the hot pit or potentially setting up a home base/camp area on the pit.  Each of these require different setups and equipment, as well as team member behavior and movement.  We try to summarize the two most common pit area behaviors, but each series and track may have different rules or requirements.  Always check prior to the race to make sure your entire team is familiar with the rules of the series and track. 21)  Rob Krider is Called Brilliant.  Not the first time. 22)  Vicki wants to be clear that you should likely buy your first race car, just in case it wasn't clear after the last episode. 23)  Start now.  It is so much fun!   Used Racing Suits:  Race Image:  https://www.raceimage.com/ Rob Krider's Magnetic Towels to prevent fuel

In a fully clothed episode, the fellas discuss ways that you can get your roofless jollies off, without bowing down and claiming that Miata is the answer. Let's chat about Reattas, XLRs, and Hot Topic this week and figure out if there are good drop tops out there for less money.

In this conversation, Marshall and Nick discuss the nuances of driveway detailing, particularly in cold weather. They explore the effectiveness of rinseless washing versus traditional methods, the importance of professional detailing practices, and the misconceptions surrounding ceramic coating maintenance. The dialogue is enriched with personal anecdotes and practical advice for car enthusiasts and detailers alike. In this conversation, Nick Walters and Marshall discuss the intricacies of ceramic coatings, the misconceptions surrounding their care, and the value of professional detailing. They emphasize the importance of understanding how ceramic coatings work, the common mistakes made by car owners, and the need for consumer education in the detailing industry. The discussion also highlights the confusion caused by varying terminologies and opinions within the community, ultimately advocating for clearer communication and education for consumers. Takeaways Should you even be doing it in the cold? You go to Nashville, you don't go for the barbecue. Visibility is a problem when driving a Miata.

Mazda has made its name creating cars that enthusiast drivers love, and we have two examples of that this week in our road test segment — the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Mazda3. Of course, the Miata needs no introduction. For decades, it has been a go-to renowned for its sharp handling and perky, fun-to-drive demeanor. But is it the right choice for Maine on the edge of winter? Co-host Chris Teague will have his thoughts on that. Across the country in more pleasant climes, Host Jack Nerad got a weeklong stint in the Mazda3 2.5T Premium Plus AWD, the highest-end version of Mazda's highly praised compact sedan. He discovered that the Mazda3 continues to combine performance, luxury, and advanced technology in a surprisingly affordable package. Featuring a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G turbocharged engine, it delivers 250 horsepower and puts that power to good use via its all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus. Its sleek exterior boasts 18-inch black alloy wheels and LED lighting, while inside, black leather-trimmed seats, heated front and rear seats, and a dual-zone climate control system provide a premium-brand experience. Then there's the infotainment system. The Mazda3 has a 10.25-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, but does its idiosyncratic control scheme spoil what is otherwise a stellar potential purchase? Jack and Chris will give their thoughts. In the news this week, those seeking a battery-electric pickup will find Tesla's Cybertruck is making waves with its new lease pricing. We'll have details on if the deal is as good as it first seems. Jaguar continues on its controversial way, unveiling the jaw-dropping Type 00 concept. It blends futuristic design with electric luxury to deliver something both new and remarkably retro. Chris and Jack have their reactions to a vehicle that some describe as shocking. Also in the news, Hyundai has just introduced its first three-row electric SUV, the Ioniq 9, showcasing versatility, tech innovation, and sustainability. With Nerad in attendance, Volkswagen pulled the wraps off the newest iteration of its Tiguan compact SUV, Genesis unmasked its 2025 GV70 crossover, and Ford has announced its Ford Mustang GTD supercar will be the subject of a short film available this coming week. Our special guest this week is Steve Center, Kia America chief operating officer. Host Jack Nerad sits down with him for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of EVs in America, the upcoming regulatory climate, and,of course, Kia's newest vehicles, two of which were unveiled at the Los Angeles Autio Show. In this week's Listener Question, Tony from Fresno asks if buying a used hybrid is a smart move amid rising gas prices. Jack and Chris dive into the pros and cons.

First, I think I am the only millennial I know with literally zero debt. Like zero mortgage, which is debt, zero car payments, zero college loans etc. Actually if I think about this in retrospect, growing up poor might have been the most beneficial things: seeing the evils of gambling via my dad, and crushing debt bankruptcy through my mom… Was probably the best indicator or learner that I had in terms of real life experience, in terms of how terrible the evils of debt is. And also, even going to college… Essentially being able to go for “free”, because my family was poor, I got all these scholarships and grants, and work-study loans, which essentially means that I still have to work, but at least, I had to take on zero debt to pay for my dorm apartment etc. ## Voluntary loans The Only money I borrowed was about $10,000, more for fun; I used that money to backpack through Europe, travel the world in between my junior and senior year etc. But that was optional. And also, I think the really really big thing; never spending more than $2500 USD on a car? I think that was the sticker price for the last car I purchased which was a 1990 Miata, when I was 21 years old, it might've been $3000 USD, getting it used on craigslist, ironically enough because the man selling it had a child on the way, and sold it because it was no longer useful to him having to raise a kid. Funny that I am in similar shoes now, now that Seneca is 3 1/2 years old. ## Mindset I think the number one critical thing is to just change your mindset. One thing which I have learned after the almost 15 years of being self-employed, ever since I was 21 until 36… Is truth be told, **nothing in the world is really worth it**. No amount of money eating out at a restaurant is ever worth it; purchasing beef ribs at Costco and baking it at home is at least a 100X superior yield than any restaurant, or even all all you can eat Korean barbecue; currently, my favorite spot is *Chubby Cattle*, but even though they issue there is they have a 90 minute time limit, I think my current record is about **70 plates of beef tongue**. I just went to the recent little Tokyo branch which just opened, and the servers, their jaws dropped; asking me whether I was a bodybuilder, given how much I ate, even on the last call I asked for 20 plates of beef tongue, they were skeptical, but I finished it all quite easily. ## Spartan is sexy. True insights ,,, take real risks: > Y'all niggas still taking advances huh? Me and my niggas were taking real chances huh! - Jay Z The ultimate mindset I suggest is going spartan. Just watch the movie 300, think about King Leonidas. Would King Leonidas blow his money on a Tesla, cybertruck, Lamborghini or Porsche? No! He would know that these things were just for the Persian slaves, those giving fellatio to King Xerxes. > Do you want to be one of the 300 Spartan elite, or do you be one of the million Persian slaves? There is a motto in the US military, freedom is not free. I would refine this saying; **freedom is expensive, very expensive**. ## The price is sacrifice True freedom is what you decide to give up, forgo, or sacrifice. This is embodied via the fact that you never eat out, you don't drink alcohol, you don't smoke weed or do drugs, you don't go on trips to Vegas, you don't watch pornography, you don't watch any media, you don't listen to music, podcasts, etc. You don't watch YouTube, Instagram or TikTok.

This week America on the Road proves yet again that there is more to driving than just getting from Point A to Point B in a thoroughly rational but also thoroughly uninvolving crossover SUV. We experienced this firsthand as we road-tested two exceedingly enjoyable sports cars — the legendary Mazda MX-5 Miata and the almost equally legendary Subaru WRX. The 2024 WRX TR trim that Co-Host Chris Teague tested offers improved performance and handling from its rally-inspired chassis and suspension. It features a Brembo braking system with six-piston front and two-piston rear calipers, larger pads and rotors, and a larger brake master cylinder. Suspension enhancements include stiffer springs, revised damping rates, and a retuned steering rack for better control and response. The TR comes with 19-inch satin gray alloy wheels and Bridgestone Potenza S007 summer tires. Inside, it has Recaro seats with black and gray Ultrasuede, red stitching, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. With its six-speed manual transmission, the 2024 WRX TR is base-priced at $41,655. How does it compare to Teague's GR Corolla? He'll tell us in his report. Across the country, Host Jack Nerad got the chance to test the 2024 MX-5 Miata Grand Touring trim, which received significant updates enhancing performance and comfort. Powered by a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine delivering 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, the MX-5 Miata retains its classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The Sport and Club trims come exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, while the Grand Touring we tested offers either a manual or a six-speed automatic. In addition to Kinematic Posture Control, the Miata now offers a revamped electric power steering system with a new steering rack and software enhancements for smoother steering and better precision. Exterior updates include new LED headlights and taillights and additional color options. Inside, the 2024 Miata features a revised center console, an 8.8-inch infotainment display with added touch functionality, and Mazda's first Alexa integration. But does all this new stuff blunt the winning Miata experience? Nerad will have the answer in this show. In the news this week, Honda has given an in-depth briefing about its upcoming all-new lineup of electric vehicles, and the concepts are startling. We'll give you the details. General Motors has just ditched a major brand name as it does an about-face in its electric vehicle strategy. We'll tell you what brand they are turning their back on and give you our comments. If you are thinking about buying a new car soon, you should be aware that a substantial percentage of buyers are now taking on massive monthly payments when they make a purchase. Will you be one of them? And in the True Crime Files Automotive Edition, there is a new development in the trial of a major figure in the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal. Is there prison in his future? This week, our special guest is Chevrolet bicyclist safety expert Mike Fry. The new Chevy Traverse has a system that is particularly useful in preventing vehicle-bicycle accidents, and we'll talk with him about that and about bicycle safety. We think you'll enjoy the discussion. So we have a lot of show for you this week. Thanks for joining us, and don't forget to look for new content on our YouTube and Rumble channels.

This week the guys are having trouble with phantom touches which are possibly mosquitos. Gym endeavors to install some shocks on his wife's CR-V. Foo's wife takes the Miata for a SMOG check and finds a friend. Finding people that can drive stick is becoming rare. We follow up with last week's discussion about solar panels with comments from Dave. Hurricanes everywhere and sad devastation. Rivian for the win. Revisiting the sad reality of Tsunamis like what happened in Japan years ago. Gym recalls his fear of nuclear war back in the 80's. Plus more!

Mazda launched its fourth generation, or ND as MX-5 fans would call it, almost a decade ago. Shaving weight from its NC-generation predecessor, this MX-5 excelled at what Miatas do best: be fun. Along the way, Miata squeezed more power and moved the redline of its 2.0-liter I4. The most recent group of upgrades usher in the ND3-era, or the third update for the ND-generation, and brings along some interesting hardware. While the powertrain is unchanged, Mazda stuffed a new limited-slip differential at the rear of Club models. The company also revised the steering system to increase steering feel even further with a new steering rack. Mazda also revamped its media system, which now features an 8.8-inch touchscreen.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a tour of the '24 Mazda Miata that highlights some of the new features and explains what it's like to live with. Later, Wren will take you along for a live drive review of the updated MX-5. Adding to the show, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the latest Mazda MX-5, how the changes affect Mazda's beloved sports car, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2024 Mazda MX-5 RF special.

Zac Mertens (@Mister_Zachary) was the literal voice of HOONIGAN. Among loud cars he was even louder, as he was one of two people (alongside Corey Hosford) who would MC the HOONIGAN Burn Yard shows. He's also known for his love of doing big burnouts in loud square body trucks, rating the idle of people's cars, hurting his back jumping a car in the original HOONIGAN burn yard, and rolling a borrow CAN-AM. Zac's story is an inspiring one. Long before he was the cowboy-hat wearing face on YouTube, he joined HOONIGAN as an editor, eventually rising to become head of post-production. Then he became the Marketing Director of HOONIGAN Racing Division where he worked alongside Ken Block. Today we talk about going REALLY fast in a boat; amazing engine architecture; how to upset your HOA; crazy tricks in heavy machinery; that Miata jump; why concrete is cool; how loud is too loud; Burnout Wars; motorcycles; and more. https://www.youtube.com/@MISTERZACHARY Recorded May 29, 2024AutoTempest has all the cars.
