GHIT 0097: Nathan and Mike Howe from the Lemons New Zealand racing team Hooncorp

Nathan Howe and Mike Howe, who talked with us all the way from New Zealand, are part of the Hooncorp racing team and our guests for this week's episode.  We had to learn about the racing, the tracks, and the amazing roads in New Zealand from some locals.  New Zealand has been on our bucket list and has moved up several spots after this discussion.  The team has been racing longer than many of our team has been alive, so there a several pearls of wisdom in here along with our usual off tangent banter.  We hope you enjoy the episode.  Highlights from this episode include:  An introduction to Nathan, Mike, their team and racing in New Zealand Tracks and notable roads in the area and quick track impressions and reviews Thoughts on how their team has done so far, including our traditional Good, Bad, and the Ugly Holden Commodore VN Nissan Pulsar Nissan Lucino The Muttstang   Holden Commodore VK Suzuki Ignus Their cars and several we don't usually find here in the US including: Jen has geographical issues between New Zealand and Australia, luckily she doesn't follow rugby Their team history of over 30 years and counting A great quote "There is no point being the fastest car in the pits" We had several other "people" chime in during the episode Several of the teams and themes in there New Zealand racing series SpeedyCop's great impression on the New Zealand racers Several local Lemons penalties A rather embarrassing story about Liam's friend driving a "stick" Nathan has a Nissan issue; it appears to have centered on the GT-R area of his brain We make a trade for seats in their Commodore for seats in our Capri.  I guess we have to finish the Capri now.   On this week's Dominating with Dawson segment, Ben covers the optimal seating position and driver positioning in high performance driving and racing to improve your comfort, performance and safety.  If you want to follow the Hooncorp Team, please follow them on: Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Hooncorp/ or on Instagram at HooncorpNZ or on GT Planet or on a great video at https://youtu.be/H-WJqni76rY  Thank you for listening to our podcast.  Please subscribe to our podcast your favorite podcast source.  If you have any questions or topics you would like for us to cover, please feel free to let us know at: www.GarageHeroesInTraining.com or via email at:  [email protected] and you can follow us on Instagram at Garage Heroes In Training or on Facebook at GarageHeroesIT or Join our Friends of GHiT group.
