DwD 0751: What is Full Throttle and More (and We're Back)

We resume with a listener question from Code Name Vicki and it is about what is full throttle, wha tit means, when to be, etc, etc, etc. It seems simple, maybe even trivial, but it has been the cause of some confusion with our listener and several other students we have instructed in the past. Sometimes the issue is misunderstanding a term or dare we say racing jargon. And a few shout outs from us to (hopefully soon to be guest) Alyssa.
