Episode Details

When we started this podcast, we had a list of guests that would compose our school of white whales that we dreamed of getting. One of the top was Randy Pobst. He is an excellent driver, instructor and television personality and has seemingly won every race event he has entered, sometimes multiple times. As good as a driver as he is, he is an even better person. He routinely attends amateur races, many times bringing his own "Flying Moose" team Volvo and walks the paddock and talks to everyone there and is always willing to help with friendly advice or to answer a question. To this point, our biggest regret for the podcast was the microphone issues we had early in the first episode with Randy as a guest at the Lucky Dog race in Portland at PIR. This time, we triple checked and we were able to have Randy on without any technical issues on our end. Please welcome Randy Pobst back to our podcast to talk all about cars and racing, and even a bit about motorcycles. We still miss his "Racing Line" series, and the "Head-To-Head" show is greatly missed. (It was hosted by two of our original white whales guests Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman. Maybe we can trade a seat for an intro, lol.) Randy is so busy with so many projects, it is truly amazing that he takes the time to come onto our podcast.

On this episode's Dominating with Dawson, Bill wanted to talk about what a dead pedal is and how it is used on track. We aren't sure why he thought this was a good segment topic, but it really did turn out well.

Highlights from this episode include:

1) Autocorrect strikes again on Randy's earlier email in a most hilarious way. Perhaps a future theme option. And then Bill breaks out into a "Love Boat" reference. Most of our listeners may need to use Google. And then we break out into bad college food habits. We do eventually return to cars at some point. Promise.

2) The endurance racing talk begins, and we are talking before the Champ Car race where Randy has already posted a video or two from the race on his YouTube channel. Great video to watch.

3) Randy has a teleporter. It is the only way he can be at so many track events. We saw him in Charlotte and the next thing we know, he is posting from Laguna Seca and then the next day he is back at Charlotte in the Flying Moose.

4) It is story time about the time we shared a race car with Randy at Portland. It was our first time doing an engine change. Why is the Capri taking so long? We did it in less than one day there.

5) It appears that Randy has even more race car projects going than we do. That is equally co
