This show features Dave Ogburn who is a multi time SCCA National Champion. 7 trips to Solo Nats, 6 trophies. 2 National Championships A-Stock in 2011 (C5 Corvette) C-Street in 2015 (Scion FR-S). Triad winner in 2015 (C-Street). 3 seasons of ProSolo - 2013 - 3rd in ESP class points, 2014 - 2nd in ESP class points, 2015 - 2nd in C-Street class points Here are some links and videos from things we discussed: He mentioned the book "Driving on the Edge" by Michael Krumm.  It's a book I really liked - Driving On The Edge: The Art and Science of Race Driving - Revised and Updated Second Edition His website: http://www.yawmomentracing.com/ His Facebook page: www.facebook.com/YawMomentRacing Runs from 2015 Solo Nats in the FR-S: West - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrYrvtvoJvU East -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLHRhIQTIIo Drifting practice after a test day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHf4qjMbbSY Winning run in 2011 where I turned the radio off mid-run (about the 34s mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKEju2SaBMA typical test course we setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoMXIGcb92s Shifter kart racing onboard from 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyZldOwR1Xs Street race in the TAG Kart in Ohio in 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D_HZzhXWrQHe also road races but still comes back and autocrosses. He shares a lot of insights, tips and thoughts for racing from the mental side to setup. He worked at Honda R&amp;D as a design engineer on suspension and had the MDX front suspension as a project. Interesting hearing how bushings on cars can impact your suspension and thus handling. He now drives cars on a pad we should be using for auto cross in San Angelo Texas. He says he has learned a ton driving on all season tires. Don't challenge he or Lane Borg his coworker and codriver this year since they get a lot of practice! He mentions that if you are slow in a certain type of car it might point to a weakness you can improve. He has been autocrossing with his dad for many years and continues to do so at Nationals. Biggest improvement has been on the mental side. He also reads a previous guests books...Ross Bentley Inner Speed Secrets: Mental Strategies to Maximize Your Racing Performance He watches the other competitors and likes to stay calm and relaxed rather than feeling any stress. He did quite a bit of TAG Kart Racing...who else wants a kart for the track? Biggest key he learned in karts was getting to the limit and learning to feel it. He has autocrosses a D Street Nissan Sentra as well as a 350Z Convertible. He also did Baja FSAE and got to autocross them (He isn't sure what the colleges were thinking). He bought a formula ford and ran it in CMod in 2008 and learned a lot. He looks for areas he should be best at as a place that can separate him. Mentally he focuses less on other people and more on good technique. He likes to rotate on entry. Uses the DL1 for data and it is more useful with data port data. He likes to make a car as loose in the slalom as he can handle which makes it better in sweepers. When it comes to practicing he focuses on car setup or driver but not both at the same time. ***When at nationals he ends the practices with three runs he treats just like nationals as in they count so being clean is key. (I really like this approach as compared to mine which is probably over driving for the fun of it). Get feedback from people and have them drive your car for you. His dad asks him after wards about three things he did well and three he can improve on. 1:54 Walking course: 1st walk pick out key cones (circle them on map) Mark technical areas he thinks he can use as an advantage. Example: Fast exit slalom vs. slow exit. He will stop after a section and rerun it in his mind and any previous sections. He visualizes as the front view of the car like he is a GoPro on the front. He does not preplan inputs. He has his codriver walk them through the course - what are they seeing and planning to do. At nationals he thinks about being as fast as possible. He only looks at video of someone he trusts. He thinks about the position of the car relative to cones as well as direction it is pointing. He thinks about weight transfer and likes the book I often reference but forget the name of which is "Driving on the Edge" Dave Ogburn at the Runoffs 2016 Dave Ogburn UVA Baja SAE in 2008 Dave Ogburn Taking track map notes Dave Ogburn Racing shifter karts in 2011 Dave Ogburn Crossle Formula Ford Dave Ogburn's Spec Racer Ford Dave Ogburn autocrossing in C Street Autocrossing the UVA Legenda Car Dave Ogburn     “We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites."&gt;The post This show features Dave Ogburn who is a multi time SCCA Autocross National Champion and road racer first appeared on Autocross Talk Podcast with Kinch Reindl.
