- 3:14know if you noticed this but you got a radio voice, is it?
- 3:17The microphone Luther Vandross. And if you want to chime in on
- 3:46something, because we're going to, I'm sure I'm sure we're
- 3:48gonna get into some stories, we're like the originator, the
- 3:52origination of. What would you guys do?
- 3:53Yeah, I heard something about 2012 before.
- 3:55No 01, he's had his Carson Springs one.
- 3:59Yeah. But the, the black dudes trip?
- 4:00Yeah, it has been around since 12 since when 12 years.
- 4:04So we kind of did that because matter of fact you're more.
- 4:06And I we used to always cross paths because when I was getting
- 4:11my car first setup, I never trusted anybody in NorCal.
- 4:16So I always went to SoCal and Jamar would always be somewhere.
- 4:22Yeah what what roughly year was this?
- 4:26I'm sorry. Oh 10:51.
- 4:28Yeah. Frankie loves years.
- 4:30He's okay. Okay.
- 4:33Okay, okay. So that's so that's what
- 4:35happened with us. I started actually really
- 4:40focusing on it like not just playing around the parking lot
- 4:42and shit. Like that.
- 4:43I started really focusing on it in 2009-2010.
- 4:47Okay, so I was already friends with Justin Pollock in 05 and I
- 4:53got fed up to here with the shit that kept going on in NorCal
- 4:57with my car. Okay?
- 4:58So I took off and went down south.
- 5:01So when I be at a venture, something gemara, be down there
- 5:04and like I said, I use social media.
- 5:06I don't really post dumb shit. Yeah, that's why I really use
- 5:12social media. You as interaction.
- 5:14So, gemara be like, oh, you and lar minute late?
- 5:17Okay, cool. Then we did you let go see ya.
- 5:20So, what was ended up happening? How the group even started was?
- 5:26Because it was just like, dude, we go everywhere and we have fun
- 5:30with everybody. Yeah.
- 5:31Clearly, it's literally just the vibe of drifting.
- 5:37It's not on a race thing. It's not on anything.
- 5:39It's just on the vibe of drifting, right?
- 5:42But you go. Somewhere and be like, there's a
- 5:44black dude. Yeah.
- 5:46Right. Yeah, this is another one.
- 5:49And then it was just kind of like, well, how many are like me
- 5:54not, not just human cause really, but how many?
- 5:57Cuz honestly I swear to God my wife, when I used to because I
- 6:02had that RX7, I've had it since high school.
- 6:05Yeah. I used to take her to school.
- 6:07They all thought she dated an Asian.
- 6:09Dude, I was about to say because like, You know how the general
- 6:14stereotype is spoil you. You you know, it's primarily a
- 6:17lot of black people. It's just that's how it is.
- 6:20I'm 55, you could wear like if you look at Dunkin Donuts at
- 6:25drifting drifting and stuff, it started in Japan.
- 6:33Obviously this that this that whatever, we all know how it
- 6:35happened. But like, I guess that really is
- 6:39what the stereotype was for a little while, wasn't so what?
- 6:43Would happen was when they knew that that was my car.
- 6:48Who'd you buy it from like that. I'm like, no, I did this piece
- 6:51by piece. I bought a stock.
- 6:52Mmm. How you know about that shit?
- 6:55What the fuck? Wait, no, no, this is real shit.
- 6:58Because in the Amero, a Monte Carlo, you drove like a g -
- 7:04yeah? No, not even.
- 7:37They like, what the fuck? Do you get that from?
- 7:39Cuz like, what? Yeah, I want to.
- 7:41I want to ask, how are you learning about this stuff?
- 7:44This is early on now. It's not like again, it's not
- 7:46like you're open up the Graham. So like I said, I'm mad old.
- 7:50Oh God and now he'll know about it before.

- 8:20happening. I need to know so there was this
- 8:22technology. Yeah they were fighter pilots.
- 8:25The motherfucking plane somehow flew into space.
- 8:28It fought aliens. The aliens were so fucking big.
- 8:31They switched levers and of planes turned into battle loads
- 8:35and it was the first Gundam. That's what I was going to
- 8:38compare it to Gundams, but I love, this is like a predecessor
- 8:41to Goat Yammer. Some shit.
- 8:43So, that's what I was on. I was on that shit when we got
- 8:46Nintendo's and everything, I wasn't on none of the Zelda
- 8:49shit. I was on rad Racer and
- 8:50excitebike, I was on cars and bikes.

- 9:26Okay, yeah, it was really. It was only 42.
- 9:31Wait, am I? How old are you?
- 9:34I'm just immature as fuck. Before.
- 9:37Yeah, something like that. Okay, I got it because you said,
- 9:44you got it your FC and 01, that's the only reason why I was
- 9:48like, damn, he has to be kind of older, you know, you lately in
- 9:51California. We've been talking to older
- 9:52people, so it's Jason 40. Yeah, Jason is 40 as well, you
- 9:57know? So yeah, just Kim, yeah, yeah,
- 9:59yeah. but the thing is, is like
- 10:37That married for 20 some years, I know you're happy as hell
- 10:41because I don't give a fuck about nothing.
- 10:43That's what damn it. I don't care about nothing.
- 10:45I don't care about attitudes. I don't care about drama.
- 10:48I don't care about the politics. You have to know about these
- 10:50things but I don't care. Yeah, yeah, it's your choice.
- 10:54Yeah, it does it. I don't let that shit.
- 10:56Special make one of my homies call me.
- 10:57He's like, yo, yo, they gonna do this and I'm like, so what if
- 11:00they hit a button and blow us about a Fuck?
- 11:02You Gonna Change? That's right.
- 11:06Yeah, I mean, yeah. And at some point it's some shit
- 11:08like did not in your control anymore laughs.
- 11:10So it is it is what it is. My mother told me I like that
- 11:18that way you just said it. Yeah yeah yeah.
- 11:24So as a youngin if I'm focused on this thing everything else is
- 11:31cool. If I gotta do it but my focus is
- 11:34right here. So I've tailored my life around
- 11:37play. Mmm.
- 11:38I've bought houses done everything, but I have a lot of
- 11:43cars. A lot of motorcycles.
- 11:45And I do track days every weekend play.
- 11:47This is a motorcycle guy. I think we're talking about
- 11:49different motorcycles though. You might be talking about.
- 11:52Some just got two cylinders. Yeah, you gotta play.
- 12:01You gotta play. Yeah, I love to play.
- 12:11That is really important to me that you just said.
- 12:13Yeah. Now my wife and kids we
- 12:22literally we literally broke up. I know I feel so bad.
- 12:25I was like, Frankie, you just made them old?
- 12:26Get up you fuck. But no like and so that's how it
- 12:30was. So if I was I was involved in
- 12:32all this so when I got y'all come yeah and so that's how they
- 12:37ship. Art has always been inclusion.
- 12:38Right, right. So when we do, whatever we were
- 12:42doing having fun, traveling, building cars, there's a point
- 12:45in time. I had a little shop.
- 12:48I did not care what time it was. I had a little Lounge.
- 12:51Y'all had a lounge area near y'all come through.
- 12:54That is, you know, I think that's something to be am
- 12:57admired nowadays, especially because right now, I feel like
- 13:01there's a moderate amount of toxicity within the sport that
- 13:04we love. It's pretty, it's eez.
- 13:07We don't argue like a motherfucker.
- 13:37Hey Mama tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something,
- 13:40I'll tell you why. I tell you what happened, be
- 13:42real with you right? What happens is when you get
- 13:44your bag up, you can go bad, you've liked making walk away
- 13:48from everything every person you Matt.
- 13:51Okay, are you mad, yo, bad, I see you later, it's because when
- 14:00I was younger, I know, right? You'd be mad at somebody.
- 14:03I remember you for five years and I saw you.
- 14:05I was slapping you. Yeah.
- 14:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, as you progress and
- 14:10grow older and you get your back at you like no, that's not what
- 14:15I said. I don't care about shit.
- 14:21So and again, like the growth, the growth.
- 14:23And and like that's that's one thing, is that, obviously this
- 14:27is this has an effect on the community.
- 14:28If think, in a many positive ways, one of them being the
- 14:32growth. Yeah.
- 14:33Like the past four years, dude. I'm going to say for Instagram
- 14:38had like some crazy uptick and for you in the past four years
- 14:42drifting is going up rapidly reels way faster.
- 14:47If everybody says something about reels algorithms or any
- 14:51because you got that Sizzle, this is no.
- 14:54You literally got the hottest shit, right?
- 14:57You got the hottest 20. 30 seconds on a wild trap beat.
- 15:02Yeah. Yeah.
- 15:02Right. And you threw out the best of
- 15:06the moment. And it captivated Grandma's
- 15:11office, dudes, that don't do this kind of shit.
- 15:13I mean drifting is already like yes kind of Tyson garlic, it
- 15:17just looks. I mean even like today today

- 21:19We talk about Dayton's. We talking about fifties.
- 21:22Here's we talk about cruising. Here's what it was right.
- 21:26You had a Mustang that you wrote around but you'll Sideshow

- 21:54I got green rally strike, you got yellow rally Stripes.
- 21:56He got blue rally, Stripes all the way we clean his butt.
- 22:00And then we post a profile We might all at the same time, kind
- 22:04of corny but played us a CD. Yeah slapping because you had to
- 22:10pull up to a gas station, I probably have the dumbest smile
- 22:14on my face. I know what, because I don't
- 22:15know what this is, this is the original.
- 22:22So you had all the females coming over, you had all the
- 22:25dues. That what?
- 22:26That was kind of inferior sitting on the other gas
- 22:28station. Looking at you, you commanded
- 22:30the scene. So what else?
- 22:32So, this is what I give to you. So not Not only was your car,
- 22:36your group, looking better, your outfits was better.
- 22:39When the females talk to you, talk to your game, your spit was
- 22:42on point. Yeah.
- 22:44Everything was dominant alpha male shit, right?
- 22:47Yeah, not this and Route 8 shit like real out real like, you
- 22:52know, saying and there's another element and it, but this is what
- 22:55it is. So if there was a dude over
- 22:59there and he wasn't like looking like His car might be clean.
- 23:04Be he might not get attention, guess how?
- 23:06He gets attention, you fuss that intersection up.
- 23:09Okay, I can drive, I can drive me show you this now which one
- 23:13you pretty motherfuckers are gonna pull it out, right?
- 23:16Most likely the most folks don't, or if you had a stole.
- 23:25Oh, what's called a dope fiend, rental, you would come and tear.
- 23:33Up stole over the stolen car. Yeah.
- 23:36So that's what the original Sideshow was.
- 23:39It was assumed. It was something that was not
- 23:42acquired very long, the the yeah, no, Sideshow was we are
- 23:49getting money. We got everything handled and
- 23:52taken care of, we have so much excess of Manliness.
- 23:57We're showing it off with coming home with more females.
- 24:02I'm just showing that I don't give the fuck basically is what,
- 24:05you know, I'm just showing you that we're better than you.
- 24:07Yeah. But it seemed like the, the
- 24:09driving aspect was almost because you mentioned that last.
- 24:11That was like the last part of it.
- 24:12Yeah. But it was like a party in the
- 24:14street. Yeah.
- 24:15But it was still playing loud music people chilling, people
- 24:18drinking it was a Vibe was like a true survivor.
- 24:21Yeah, Khalid the Bay Area. Specifically, is always a Vibe.
- 24:25It's because we don't do gang banging in in the bay.
- 24:30It's not gang. Banging is she in your
- 24:32neighborhood? You represent it with pride.
- 24:38Everybody loves everybody. Yeah, everybody fucks everybody.
- 24:40But if you come from your neighborhood with joke, cars and
- 24:44shit, we come from our neighborhood, our cars, your
- 24:47shit, and it's just a hey, we're better than you did.
- 24:49I had no idea. I had no fucking idea and now
- 24:52when I'm comparing the two because now I feel bad that now
- 24:56feel really bad. That Derek affiliating?
- 24:58Yes, I'd show. Yeah, with a takeover.
- 25:01Yes, because of the Vibe that the to admit you told me the
- 25:05story just now and I'm picturing a sunny as day.
- 25:08That's exactly what fucking on a Sunday.
- 25:12Yeah. Okay.
- 25:14A Sunday. No responsibilities.
- 25:16You're kicking it. That's exactly what it is.
- 25:18And then, on a takeover, I'm picturing it out about it.
- 25:20Like, I don't know. 11:30 is nice.
- 25:22People are trying to get home from a long as day of work and
- 25:25you get caught at a traffic light because somebody's playing
- 25:28a fling it car on the freeway so so that's why the Bay Area has
- 25:32always anybody. Has doughnuts, right?
- 25:36Hmm. So when we all started to drift,
- 25:40kind of the basics were already there.
- 25:44So me personally, I was not scared of my car sliding at
- 25:51track days, I would exit Corner sideways.
- 25:53Get yours is scared of, that wasn't trying to counter steer
- 25:57but the car would exit burning rubber sideways and I got in
- 26:01trouble for that every time. Mmm, Black Flag.
- 26:04Lag come in your car leaking. They're looking at him like
- 26:07yeah. Oh my shit.
- 26:10I followed that farmers man. Right.
- 26:12So then I got in trouble. Literally you go into those
- 26:16download meetings after your track session and I have a dupe
- 26:20browbeating me you don't know how to drive your Reckless your
- 26:23side. I'm like, yeah, I am new here so

- 26:35He starts laughing. Yeah, I'm like, what, what is
- 26:38it? Why is he laughing?
- 26:40Because he realized my car was powerful.
- 26:42Mmm, oh, okay, so when we pull it out of the pit and I'm
- 26:46getting up to speed because they're telling you go go, go
- 26:48quits. There's a clear spot.
- 26:49Hmm. So you get up to speed, don't
- 26:52waste time, get up to speed and get on track.
- 26:54I'm sorry, celebrate the dudes getting pushing to start
- 26:57giggling. So then I got horny, boy.
- 27:04Like can get this dude for this brake Zone.

- 27:47another turn down, another straight.
- 27:49And then you go up a hill. My I'm on my fours.

- 29:22Okay. It's always, I'll say out of
- 29:23curiosity. So fucking much in this podcast
- 29:25because you mentioned Youngblood like you.
- 29:29Do you need Youngblood to continue to keep something
- 29:32going, right? You need more next Generations.
- 29:35Coming over. Stop doing what they do.
- 29:37I was, I was going to ask, like, road racing back then.
- 29:40Because nowadays there's a lot of young kids doing.
- 29:42Yeah, you got really popular. It wasn't was it more an older
- 29:46crowd and you're just busting in this 8 and this FC, this whole
- 29:51time, by the way, I'm assuming, you know, what Initial D is
- 29:53because no, you don't not at this point.
- 29:56I wrote I'm a lead you to that because that you're doing this.
- 29:59You're you're hit. You're him, dude.
- 30:02You're raising. The white is what color was the
- 30:04best it was way but I had no, I had no clue.
- 30:08So what happened. What happened was?
- 30:10Was that shows about you. What happened was, when we left
- 30:17out of that meeting to download meeting the guy said you're
- 30:20doing great, you need to learn more, you need to come out here
- 30:23more. You'll learn more than one.
- 30:25That was a blessing. He says, stop drifting, you're
- 30:27going to be faster and I'm like Styles if that was the record
- 30:31scratch. Oh, wait a minute, that was fun.
- 30:34Like what the fuck you mean drifting?
- 30:36Yeah. He said, oh, you don't know what
- 30:38drifting is shit. One is this?
- 30:41How is this? Really, how you're going to find
- 30:44out what drift? That's what I found out.
- 30:46So this instructor told you what was going on and we didn't have
- 30:50YouTube. So I went up Street.
- 30:51Fire dotnet. Oh my God.
- 30:54What the hell is that? Yeah, you do.
- 30:58I know he probably knows it better than me.
- 31:00But I remember what it was. It was it was websites that just
- 31:03hosted people's videos. So before YouTube was YouTube, I
- 31:07always like 140 piece, um, it was fucked up.
- 31:10It took 20 minutes to load. That's where you see the super
- 31:13from Hell video? Yes, that's exactly where it
- 31:14was. Yeah, so that's where I went and
- 31:17saw drifting and was like, who sold?
- 31:19But were you seeing like JDM option?
- 31:22Hotfix Okinawa dachshund shit? Yeah, it was, it was just a
- 31:27chunky by yeah like it's the old street drifting videos that I'm
- 31:32everyone sees now that everyone kind of been trying to replicate
- 31:36well that and Instagram. Everyone's you know there's
- 31:38those pages that going. Yeah.
- 31:40Yeah, they find all of them. They post all of them.
- 31:42I've just tried because so now so now you know a drifting is
- 31:46And and and now because you got to find others, you need a
- 31:51friends to drift with, right? So I'm gonna say like coming to
- 31:55my house. I lived across the street from
- 32:02the high school. I went to humongous parking lot.
- 32:05Let's go rip this shit as you do as you do.
- 32:09So we go out there and make a little noise whatever, but
- 32:11that's how, that's how I found drifting.
- 32:12So, when I started to know, so I would just hitting jtp about my
- 32:19space because he had to have seen.
- 32:21I was getting fucked up. He was rotary guys.
- 32:23Basically I was going to say I caught the tail end of my space.
- 32:27Yeah so like 05 I was just the YouTube was out and I was
- 32:31literally only looking for FC 3s drifting?
- 32:37Yeah, the thought of that is like bugging me out.
- 32:39I know what my space was used for.
- 32:41Yeah, this is Yeah, I was it was your Muse luxury?
- 32:50Trying to find friends, I can drift, I was trying to find
- 32:53people that can give me information on this car to help
- 32:56me fix what was not being fixed. Yeah, at this point, my car was
- 33:01blowing up catching on fire, all kind of shit but that shows the
- 33:05a dish from Grant is my man was looking for somebody to fix cars
- 33:08and I was climbing through you but that's that's literally how
- 33:16Oh it's that's literally how it started.
- 33:18I would I would just do that jtp responded and we would talk back
- 33:23and forth for long fucking time. Now what is jtp?
- 33:26I'm sorry I just need to need a little Justin Thomas palette but
- 33:33that's like early 05 generation of news drift along which is
- 33:37great. Was he part of the young girls?
- 33:51Because Eric and all them got introduced on the second drift
- 33:55Alliance join. But so that's when he and I
- 33:59started talking and then it took that long from 05 to 09 for me
- 34:03to actually get down there. So we'd always been chopping it
- 34:07up and yang and and yes. So that's how this shit started.
- 34:09I never had a green of Syria. Big fucking we.
- 34:12Thank our hair. Iguchi asked, yeah.
- 34:16It was just like, so I would see his videos.
- 34:20Those on YouTube, I would CJ T PF, C 3s.
- 34:24Like I don't want to see American drifting.
- 34:25Yeah, I want to see Japanese shit, but I saw so much of this
- 34:30jtp at horse thief. My like we just look at this
- 34:33shit. He's playing fucking break beats
- 34:36and Hip Hop and shit. And I was like, oh, that's my
- 34:39butt style was cool. Yeah, I know that, but it's a
- 34:43different style like that nowadays style is like it's, um,
- 34:48it's situational. Like, well you and you have you
- 34:51have some of the old stuff still, but yeah, I've old style
- 34:54is like is is heavy right now as an influence every style, has it
- 35:00influenced from that originating thing and because I was so
- 35:05enthralled with the Japanese drifting.
- 35:07When I saw, what he's doing, I was like damn, that's kind of a
- 35:10really authentic to what I was interested in and then his car
- 35:15was no compromise. Fucking slammed.
- 35:17Yep. And then when I was hitting him
- 35:19and he's like, yeah, this motherfucker only got 260
- 35:22horsepower. Oh, Sons using the car.
- 35:25Yeah. So that's really how he and I
- 35:29relationship started. And so I'm like, okay, I think I
- 35:33could trust this do. Yeah.
- 35:36And it's probably like, mid-2000s.
- 35:39No. Oh, yeah, 08-09.
- 35:42So then the years come and you guys mentioned 2012.
- 35:46So 20, is this is this, when this is kind of starting now,
- 35:50did you meet Joe know? So, yeah.
- 35:51I met Joe, and everybody know we do before that.
- 35:57How did you get? How did you guys meet?
- 35:59So we used to, so this one do move to NorCal, From SoCal,
- 36:04okay. He said, yeah.
- 36:07So he's like yo plug me in with everybody.
- 36:10I'm like I don't know how to do that but I'll set up a meet
- 36:15Yeah, whoever comes out tap X. Meet y'all know we go hang out
- 36:25and have Bowl. But what's tap X?
- 36:29Yeah, tapioca, you got to remember, we're only we're on
- 36:32the ocean. We're on the other side.
- 36:34Yeah, we call it something out. So all I mean, all this is
- 36:37interesting because, because we have different culture is on the
- 36:40other. Yeah, for this is like, like two
- 36:43different cultures right now. Colliding.
- 36:46Yeah. Different age jet different
- 36:47Generations are colliding right now.
- 36:49So like, this is kind of. Yeah, kind of wild to me right
- 36:53now, what we're talking was it was but you know we we did that
- 36:57because it's always Community. Yeah.
- 36:59Right with what's the Bay Area is really Community?
- 37:02Yeah, so this dude from socal's like, yo, patch me in.
- 37:07I'm like, okay, everybody come hang out.
- 37:11Yeah. If you meet people, cool.
- 37:13If you're not, you're weird. Yep.
- 37:16Right. You said the same exact thing
- 37:18earlier, so, yeah. So that's it.

- 38:32So when we set the type x shit up I didn't know what him This
- 38:38is how the years later I was gonna sing sing.
- 38:41So it was like when you walk through because I took that upon
- 38:45myself to, I don't get a chance to get everybody out and, and I
- 38:49don't know everybody. So I'm walking through.
- 38:50What's up? Thanks for coming.
- 38:51What's up? Thanks for coming.
- 38:52What's up? Thanks for coming meeting,
- 38:53everybody. Didn't that they mess with a
- 38:55shop called KBR? Its food.
- 38:59Ha, ha ha. So the good part of it was K, BR
- 39:09brought a lot of people together.
- 39:11Hmm. So everybody go to your hangout.
- 39:13That was the jump off spot. That was the go-to spot so I go
- 39:16there, hang out with them outside of the meat.
- 39:18I go there, we play around. So when we do those meats, now
- 39:22it's a staple. It's a thing.
- 39:24And you've been drifting now at this point.
- 39:25No, no. So, we were trying, we didn't
- 39:30really have many drift spots. We would Street drift, I was
- 39:33going to ask how prevalent was street drifting now because you
- 39:36can't it's harder to do that by us now.
- 39:38So, we were Street drifts. So, if you talk shit, if you
- 39:42said anything to the next man, shut the fuck.
- 39:46Up, getting your cars. Go do work.
- 39:49Damn. That is at some temperature.
- 39:51If she made Initial D about you do, yeah, they made it about
- 39:55you, but it was like, please don't talk.
- 39:58When you can do. Hmm.
- 39:59Yeah. Go do.
- 40:01We would line up, we would you you you and you anybody talks
- 40:04shit, do it. What spots were you guys
- 40:07hitting? Was what I liked is dust.
- 40:08Real boy. He'll know, we didn't do
- 40:13industrial. There was a spot on the mountain
- 40:16spots. Nah, turn 3000 Highway 37.
- 40:20On ramp estern. We come down the street,
- 40:25Columbus. Let's go.
- 40:27Damn. And it's free Boulevard.
- 40:30I'm sure the, the street to the on-ramp.
- 40:34Yeah, the Clover. The clothes.
- 40:35We do the same thing. That's the Clover is endless.
- 40:40It keeps going. Yeah.
- 40:41Keep going until somebody loses. Yeah.
- 40:43It's like a freeway. It's a freeway entrance and
- 40:46exit. But you were like I was like the
- 40:52only place that we could drift at this point in time was
- 40:55Thunder drift. They had a spot going.
- 40:58On at thunderhill Raceway, it was very hard to learn because
- 41:03they work on setting you cannot learn to drift there that we
- 41:06don't practice. It was the that was because when
- 41:09we when we Outlet when we restrict drifting I mean we
- 41:12still would but I would never think of to do a competition or
- 41:16anything like that because I wouldn't know how to fuck that
- 41:17even judge that you know on the street hey it was it would be
- 41:21clear-cut. You fucked up.
- 41:22Yeah. She'll get your ass over here,
- 41:24then tick. Then when you two were getting
- 41:26like pretty good, I was like, okay.
- 41:28Hey look, we set this up. This is this is this is where
- 41:30fate happened. I'm setting up dudes, right?
- 41:36So everybody's doing pretty good at this point in time U-verse
- 41:38you U-verse you U-verse you whoever wins I buy you a track
- 41:42day, interesting. Wagers like like but it's not
- 41:46it's like it's not like a, you're giving me money.
- 41:49I'm gonna help you get better. Yeah, because I want you to do
- 41:53this for real. Yeah, and remember I still don't
- 41:55really. Yeah.
- 41:56Usually, still getting into, I can slide Corners, I can knock
- 41:59out any Corners single Corner. Plane crash.
- 42:03Yeah, love with him climb. Mmm.
- 42:06I can make it work. I didn't scream like this.
- 42:08How to, again there's it's not like there's how to clear cut
- 42:10videos on how to do this. And he's telling people aren't
- 42:12get out there and prove yourself, but but, but I was
- 42:16putting my money where my mouth is too, because I was going
- 42:19there. Yeah, trying to practice during
- 42:21school during the 30-minute practice and then I would
- 42:23qualify. But when I got in the battles,
- 42:25out these battles, but that night, the dude sitting way
- 42:30behind his in the cut. You motherfuckers look like
- 42:34this. I know everybody look like
- 42:36looking around. There was a dude that was
- 42:37sitting in the cut, watching the crowd, watching the organization
- 42:41watching set up watching the camaraderie.
- 42:44He was the facility manager of Sonoma Raceway.
- 42:47Oh shit. He was just heading home and saw
- 42:49hella cars in the parking lot. He's a car Enthusiast.
- 42:52We ain't know he was there. So he it's not like you reached
- 42:58out for that connection. It was just organic happen.
- 43:02It's a pretty weird coincidence too, though.
- 43:04So, when formula D pulled out of Sonoma, all he remembered seeing
- 43:10was KBR logos. Typed it in that time.
- 43:17Call KB R yo, I like what y'all was doing whatever whatever we
- 43:22want to set up a meeting and see if you guys want to test out
- 43:24some drifting here. That.
- 43:29That sounds almost like old like movie.
- 43:33Like It did yeah, yes. So he and he saw KBR cars there
- 43:43to mind you to Fairgrounds. Hello small hella small.
- 43:46Hello small. I tell you small again, so fair
- 43:55grounds was like a legit spotter.
- 43:57No, plus a small. I'm told there is a house size.
- 44:00Small, there is. All right.
- 44:02Marine World roller coasters in the background.
- 44:06Okay, right there. This is already.
- 44:09Do not have a scenery like that. No, but it's small.
- 44:12Yeah, it's small but the background is parking lot and
- 44:16the thing is you got to use had to make with what you got
- 44:21though. That's always what we do.
- 44:22Yeah we make do. I'm sure there were curbs where
- 44:26they were there was drainage and irrigation drainage hot.
- 44:29Like the how was the surface. You just said to me bad, it
- 44:31wouldn't good and even your cheese grater cheese, grater
- 44:34pain, is greater for show. Yeah, use them here.
- 44:38Udemy jumping your shit too. Oh yeah.
- 44:41Yeah, those irrigation ditches. So, so once we got that
- 44:44opportunity, the demo test out, was the cart track and that
- 44:48didn't go. You look, you were finishing
- 44:49with your car fucked up for shellfish, in our cars.
- 44:54At this point low like our body kits exploding.
- 45:00We weren't at that Wheels, getting bent.
- 45:02There wasn't even party kids during that time.
- 45:04Really? Yeah, it was body will Wills,
- 45:08but powder coating was a thing. Yeah, because I have my
- 45:11fluorescent, get beer bother, he's bawling, you have powder.
- 45:15Can I got these powder coated? Yeah, that's and that's what my
- 45:18FC stood out, because he was white with arrow and fluorescent
- 45:21orange, RPF one goody bees, Like, it's like, it's not like
- 45:37you. It's not like, we knew like what
- 45:39was going to tell you guys, otherwise, that we wouldn't do
- 45:42that. We were having a blast.
- 45:45Yeah, you know, you know some guys, you know, had parts and
- 45:48everything. Some guys made do with what they
- 45:51had. We had hella crested as we had a
- 45:53community of hella Cressida and the the mod was to take the back
- 45:56bumper off and put it on the front and it gave, it trust me.
- 46:00It had a weird little look but it was good.
- 46:03I'm just cuz we he built a crescent.
- 46:05Oh, really? Yeah, so that was like the old
- 46:08something? No, no back bumper.
- 46:11Yeah, I know. It back bumper, bozos, so it was
- 46:14a thing. But when we did the first demo,
- 46:17for Sonoma, at the cart Tractor, like, hell no.
- 46:19You guys are fucking this car track up.
- 46:22Yeah, so we're so we were like, guys the cookie, man.
- 46:28I can relate, don't worry. So when they said, hey, you guys
- 46:32can try behind the main grandstand snow track.
- 46:36And we're not going to let you on the track to drift.
- 46:39Figure it out. We said we make do with whatever
- 46:42the hell you give us and we went out there fools called off work.
- 46:47It was in the middle of the day just drifting and and that's
- 46:52literally when Sonoma started. So I would go out there
- 46:55literally wanted to volunteer because I'm like oh I know what
- 46:59makes a cool course and I go out there and said all the cones up
- 47:04and everything so we'd have a good little setup.
- 47:06Set up and we just drive. Dude, a allows and drive and
- 47:08drive. We have fun when they told him
- 47:10it was over. Like, I cool we took advantage
- 47:13of that. Is this all around the 2011 Arab
- 47:16kind of kind of that era. Yep.
- 47:19So that's when NorCal change. Yeah, because at that point in
- 47:27time, zip-tie All-Star bash was fucking Holy Grail.
- 47:31Yes. Yeah.
- 47:32So we wanted to get good in NorCal to go down to Battlestar
- 47:36bash. Hopefully you got accepted on
- 47:39the tide, right? And then you go down there and
- 47:41do the All-Star bash and you wanted to show good.
- 47:44So that was our goal because Allah was the top tier.
- 47:49Now where was zip-tie All-Star bash?
- 47:51It was a Willow Springs. Yeah, so it was all weekend.
- 47:54It will a Springs team tandem comms drifting all day.
- 47:57It was it was literally the shit and then they make these dope
- 48:00videos and you're like, damn that.
- 48:03Yeah, cool cars. Little cars pero shot.
- 48:06Shiny Wheels, deep dish. It was the that all sounds great
- 48:09to me during that time to dry. I like it was different.
- 48:12It was it was big different shapes because the power wasn't
- 48:15as great as now, but at the same time, lot of folks is mini turbo
- 48:19do but I know that's always say to you, is there was it was RVs
- 48:26SRS or some jrb 20s. Yeah, that but that's what,
- 48:32that's what we like and I made a comment about that earlier
- 48:35because like II had to relate the people are over building
- 48:40stuff. Oh yeah.
- 48:41Because back then, and you guys are going to get this.
- 48:44The most, obviously, you don't need all that.
- 48:49Like, Formula Drift when I was, there's a video on YouTube now
- 48:51of like an 07 for me. The Formula Drift that one of
- 48:54the first ones and Turk has a, I think it's like a, it's not a
- 48:57wild Sr know and that's that's what was the the competition
- 49:02based series. Remember Vaughn had was a he He
- 49:06had a s13 with when we are went, maybe 415.
- 49:11Yeah. And that's that was probably
- 49:13like in the house lights. Yeah.
- 49:15That was nice. Do you work?
- 49:16Do you recall any of the like the d1gp at at because there's a
- 49:19d1gp that happened at Englishtown at The u.s.
- 49:22Drifter, sear u.s. drift 2007, something like that.
- 49:27America dressed American drift series or I went to the one in
- 49:30Anaheim. Yeah.
- 49:31That when so they did Anaheim Texas mineral wells I seen the
- 49:35photos from one account. And what about like that like
- 49:37Irwindale or everyone do was the one they?
- 49:40Yeah. They had a rounded Irwindale
- 49:43pure because those stands are packed.
- 49:45Yeah. Yeah.
- 49:45Because it's drifting was to the thing, because it's cool.
- 49:49It's fun. But it was like, it was like yo,
- 49:51the authentic cars and drivers are coming.
- 49:54Yeah, over there. Dude.
- 49:56If we could go back in time and go to one of the dude, Irwindale
- 49:59D1 Urbandale Irwindale. Do you one was not a new shit
- 50:03now? I'm okay.
- 50:06We're at that. Yeah, there have a higher
- 50:10horsepower, right? But I like all the Carnage bro.
- 50:14You really do you like the European drifting as well?
- 50:17Like, we're there in that Stadium type of deals.
- 50:19That's just, that's crazy. To be in that setting a and
- 50:38they're like 30 second 42nd room.
- 50:40There's no runoff, right? No, no no, man.
- 50:44You hit a wall, you hit a wall. It's done.
- 50:47So, so well. So what they doing over there,
- 50:49right? That, that the level of driving
- 50:51the level of focus. Someone has to have nor not tear
- 50:55up shit over there. But it's definitely hard.
- 50:57It's think it is definitely respectable.
- 51:01But for me, what, what, what I'm fascinated by the most is that?
- 51:06I I play for like the underdog. I like seeing that.
- 51:10If you guys were all given the same opportunity, what is
- 51:12somebody gonna do with that opportunity with that like, 400
- 51:16or horsepower Tails? So that's what was originally
- 51:19dope about formula D. Uh-huh.
- 51:21Rollover. As a Viper.
- 51:23Yeah, like solstice. Yes, it was, whatever it was,
- 51:27cool. But GTO, where was this Millions
- 51:31as things, you know, progress we want Worse.
- 51:37Everybody wants. Yeah, they want more Carnage in
- 51:39one more speed, they want more shit.
- 51:41So so things evolve, things changed things got faster, and
- 51:46like you know, denofa's and then we're talking about like, the
- 51:49amount of horsepower increase, but the amount of mph didn't,
- 51:52really get that much difference, that's the craziest part.
- 51:55So now you got, these cars dumping smoke dump and it's like
- 51:59insane amounts. It's like, I which, which
- 52:01thousand horsepower cars going to win this battle.
- 52:03I think it's just because they saw what was working and then
- 52:06they Did more of what was working and more and more and
- 52:09more not tracks or are wide like a house with why, some of them
- 52:14haven't even changed. So it's like you're doing the
- 52:17same shit. They were doing with 300
- 52:19horsepower. You know, you got 1,300.
- 52:21Yo, I saw a picture of FDA TL starting line.
- 52:26Yeah, there was an album of old photos of it, bro.
- 52:30A fucking stock, body FC with a big dumb.
- 52:33HKS drag her off the back. Yes, no Arrow.
- 52:36Stupid. We had no Heir age a stock s13
- 52:40with the phone dials and shit like that was.
- 52:43Yeah. And it had like one sticker for
- 52:45the company that they're there. They were represented.
- 52:48Yeah. Your Casper canoe was one of the
- 52:49most sponsored drivers that that well, no.
- 52:53Sam heughan em. But yeah, but past everyone,
- 52:56that was at the vipe Viper. Yep.
- 52:58Sam human are Rhys. Millen.
- 53:00Tyler McQuarrie. There's a couple of juice.
- 53:02I was like really good. I mean you had, but But aside
- 53:07from them, like, you know, Casper canoe you and your kin
- 53:11knock, it was back to since beginning.
- 53:14But either way like some of those Grassroots dudes, like a
- 53:17mentioning that we're in those photos.
- 53:19There weren't much, you know, they get a sticker package or
- 53:24somebody. Yeah, this dude shot might have
- 53:26sponsored floated them a set of tires.
- 53:29Yeah, I like that. You.
- 53:31I like that. You had to emphasize that?
- 53:33No, it was real shit back then. Yeah.
- 53:35I'll be lucky if you have a shop working on.
- 53:36Our for free. I mean yo we got a hoodie from
- 53:39from when we were at a peck. See the other day and I said to
- 53:41Frank you we fucking made it to Paris that shit.
- 53:44Yo we fucking made it. Do we only spent hundreds of
- 53:46dollars to get here like but we made it like and and it wasn't
- 53:51that it was like a feeling man. I was kicking the whole day.
- 53:54He was having like I was having to excite know like and and Big
- 54:00King status, but the key. But the thing is, is like during
- 54:03that time, do you got, I got a I gotta I'm trying to imagine
- 54:07like, the the highs like seeing drifting like that on a main
- 54:13stage. Where all you have access to
- 54:15primarily are like street drifting.
- 54:17Yeah, and you're seeing it like aunt and it's happening.
- 54:20Right there. You're watching it grow.
- 54:22Hmm. Because that it because now from
- 54:24who would have thought from years to come?
- 54:26Now that it would be like this? I mean, that's, that's the cool
- 54:29thing about it like with our group, when we would be in the
- 54:32garage. Doing what we were doing,
- 54:34building the cars and shit. Once you finished your car and
- 54:38you feeling yourself you talking shit, no, take you out.
- 54:43Let's go. Yeah, but he'll do though, bro.
- 54:46I don't do shit talking without but this battle shit is so
- 54:50different. I know as but we would never do
- 54:52that. So really, it would just be
- 54:54like, oh, you finish it? Oh, let's go, let's go drive
- 54:56somewhere and we just fuck around tandem whatnot, but we
- 55:00never thought to like to an extent it's a hell, I'm sure.
- 55:04I'm sure I'm smiling when I say this.
- 55:06It's a it's a healthy amount of competition.
- 55:09Well as it pushes you, human are other homeboy.
- 55:13How much you have like 500 horsepower or like for thought?
- 55:16They had something ignorant because they was on E85, you're
- 55:19naming these numbers and you use the word ignorance because it
- 55:22was no it was it was, it was ignorant back then but they were
- 55:30on E85 and yeah. Probably old school, methanol
- 55:35injection, like and nothing. And those fucking cars were fast
- 55:38as shit. And I was like, why are y'all
- 55:40building shit? I'm still saying that.
- 55:43So, but no thing, like, even now while I'm only 100 octane, I'm
- 55:46like, no, I'm not bringing a million gallons of eat.
- 55:51Yeah, somewhere. But I tell you though, right,
- 55:53that you fire cheaper than that, it is
- 56:13We got to see where each other was at.
- 56:16As far as what time was it? It was not like we do it and
- 56:21then it was like, maybe trash at all of us.
- 56:25It was just like, okay, we know where it's at now, come drive
- 56:29there. Be days that I didn't drive and
- 56:31I would just be at the line with them hinako.
- 56:34You know you did this. You did that, go do this and
- 56:37then the and that's where he got mad as fucking me.
- 56:41Oh yeah, yeah, fight it fight. That's where he got mad at me
- 56:46because at this point, I'm sorry.
- 56:47Are you guys friends now? At this point?
- 56:49Okay good. Alright, so now we wouldn't be
- 56:51here yeah but this is this is where he was.
- 56:55Get, he got mad at me, because he, they're going hard and
- 56:59they're flourishing. I'm like, dude, this is great.
- 57:02Like, I'm always at these events by myself.
- 57:05My boys are now driving are going hard and having I did
- 57:08last, they're having a blast, right?
- 57:12Didn't his food dominate a wall? Oh, what car is your weapon of
- 57:17choice? So he beat the shit out this
- 57:22wall, but then he from that impact would start drifting
- 57:28again. And I'm at the line, like, what
- 57:31your are you saying you're bounced off the wall?
- 57:33Nah. Just the wall.
- 57:35I broke some shit. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna keep
- 57:38going, and I'm like, Whoa, you really fucked up but he still
- 57:45drifted some like I and then he pulls to the line.
- 57:52And he pulls to the line like he's ready to get back in line.
- 57:56I'm like, all right, I like that and he's like, it was the car
- 58:00fucked up. All right.
- 58:00Yeah, you fucked it up, right? And I'm kind of looking it over
- 58:06now. I didn't see the he broke a
- 58:08control arm. Oh because it's car slammed with
- 58:12arrow. Okay.
- 58:14So I'm looking like your wheels are kind of pointing straight
- 58:17but you just drove it still. Yeah.
- 58:19How did he feel that? My folks are actually good.
- 58:22Good, I did. So I can say, I guess it's good.
- 58:27You gave him music. I havenít.
- 58:52Yeah. So did it not feel good or not?
- 58:55Because you you like God in it? Yeah.
- 58:58I like that. We're years down the line and I
- 59:00can still hear in your voice. Yeah, yeah.
- 59:05So fucking hard I'm like goddamn and when he started going again
- 59:11I'm still sitting like goddamn. Yeah.
- 59:14Like how is that car going straight?
- 59:16Like it's not, you know what I mean?
- 59:18So I didn't know. It was probably broken in just
- 59:20the right. It was was that's what the
- 59:23problem was. Because when you come to a stop
- 59:24as wheels or when you come to a stop, his wheels are still
- 59:27straight. So I was like I'm like I would
- 59:31be mad too. Yes, but he was sent me out.
- 59:37I got a buddy of mine. He's a little on the drunk side.
- 59:53Yes. Me amen.
- 59:54Does this girl look good? Yeah, and we and in a in a way.
- 59:58Way that we want. He just did some dumb shit to me
- 1:00:01earlier that week. I said, yes, I said.
- 1:00:05Yeah, yeah, man. That's great.
- 1:00:08Thanks day, dude. I fucking hate you.
- 1:00:10We didn't talk for like a month and a half your roommates month
- 1:00:12and a half and then one day, I'm thinking that he needed a
- 1:00:15diversion for years. Yeah, there was this a years.
- 1:00:17It was a rift. Because what what happened?
- 1:00:20Because we're always, we're all who trusted, ask you risky,
- 1:00:23right? Because they're at time yeah.
- 1:00:27Every time I want you to get as close as
- 1:01:01you can get out, touch that stuff.
- 1:01:03So that's what I was on. Yeah.
- 1:01:05So when they were crashing on my own come on man.
- 1:01:07You fucking up the Mystique. Yeah yeah.
- 1:01:10I feel you on you're bringing your bringing the the the show
- 1:01:13mentality. But what I was getting height
- 1:01:16because they were driving driving a push it.
- 1:01:19Push it push it. Yeah, during that time you boys
- 1:01:22just moved back from LA and came back on three-piece.
- 1:01:26Wheels told me he was two and a half deep Wills.
- 1:01:49But so what but you but they need you in the groove to caused
- 1:01:53this fire know. So that I'm telling you you're
- 1:01:55super self-determine, right? Yeah.
- 1:01:58I'm stop doing that shit. Yeah.
- 1:02:01You're all about getting there. Almost trying to control.
- 1:02:03Yeah, I'm no, no. I'm the The old head, the right?
- 1:02:06The Grouch now you need do that boats, you need both sides of
- 1:02:09the coin. So they might say, I want I need
- 1:02:11to ask Jamar at this point. Like what did you did you like,
- 1:02:14would you say that that helped you or it made you mad worse?
- 1:02:18He was fucking mad. He was ready to fight.
- 1:02:21The only agreement we had was is we don't do nothing in front of
- 1:02:26other people. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:35But we never it was never. That seems to be like an older
- 1:02:38mentalities. Yeah, right.
- 1:02:40Because nowadays, I've been hearing shit like that doesn't
- 1:02:42exist, any right? We would never do that.
- 1:02:45We're never going to do that in front of anybody.
- 1:02:47He could be like a fuck you or, you know.
- 1:02:51But it was never, if we were in public, you keep it within your,
- 1:02:55I am. We're public is good, right?
- 1:02:56Yeah. If you had to go straight, but
- 1:02:58you're still gonna be ducking and dodging.
- 1:02:59Yeah. So funny because I was so
- 1:03:06steadfast, like, no, I don't give a fuck if they're mad.
- 1:03:10Yeah. Yeah, that I didn't do that and
- 1:03:12you kept driving. So I had no clue how fucked up
- 1:03:16your car was. Yeah, I gave it a once-over.
- 1:03:18It's 9 p.m. at night and I was like bullshit.
- 1:03:21Yeah, I gave it a once-over is Matt fucking dark.
- 1:03:25I can't see under your car because it's low.
- 1:03:28I didn't know your control. I would not try cuz we like each
- 1:03:32other. Like you wanted to see him crash
- 1:03:33anyway right. So So like I said, I don't care
- 1:03:35about nothing so when they got mad so Katie may but he didn't
- 1:03:38know that you didn't even want with it but but we didn't
- 1:03:41communicate like that. So we grew up with
- 1:03:44communicating. Yeah.
- 1:03:45At that point, he's like, well fuck you in right?
- 1:03:51Yeah, yeah. So we're both like, fuck you,
- 1:03:54fuck. You can just fuck you, right?
- 1:03:57And that was it for months for years, you just for year that
- 1:04:01that when you ran into each other and it was going to be out
- 1:04:03of a puddle. So look, Riot Squad.
- 1:04:08We started to shit together all of us.
- 1:04:11Yeah. They were like, Fuck Y'all me

- 1:06:16was why they went full street. During that time that was wild
- 1:06:19because I barely job my car on the street.
- 1:06:21Sorry knew what was happening. Yeah.
- 1:06:23Yeah. Please get behind me was
- 1:06:24running. Like they had to do.
- 1:06:26They had it bad. It was bad with them.

- 1:06:31right, like right now. This is the first color change
- 1:06:33ever. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:06:34Until the police get behind it like that.
- 1:06:36They knew what it was. Yeah.
- 1:06:38Yeah so I would always be watching them because they're
- 1:06:41still, I I still fuck with them, I don't fuck with them know,
- 1:06:45right? I'm sorry, I gotta check the
- 1:06:47date. What, what year is this?
- 1:06:48This is 14, 13, 14. Okay, so we had already started,
- 1:06:54black dudes drift because we were, you know, we try to say
- 1:06:59you guys took this rivalry. Yeah.
- 1:07:01And you were like, oh, so, so you took a rivalry and naturally
- 1:07:05you're like, fuck it. Let's just be one now.
- 1:07:07No, no. Here's what it was.
- 1:07:13Yeah it was so much subliminal. Right?
- 1:07:16Right here, right? These are no Robin.
- 1:07:18No. Fuck out each other in this
- 1:07:20group. Nobody knew it.
- 1:07:22But we would. But so, we started the group,
- 1:07:25but the thing was, yeah, we were at odds.
- 1:07:30Hmm, we were big heavy odds. There was the other homie in our
- 1:07:34group. I one day we were at such odds,
- 1:07:36he came over and was saying, oh man, is that I was like, let's
- 1:07:39just fucking fight because there's no reason to argue Argue
- 1:07:43if one of us came, whoop each other.
- 1:07:45Yeah. So, right.
- 1:07:49Because I'm not about because I'm not about talking, that's
- 1:07:51how it's going to end. Just roll around boxing gloves
- 1:07:53in the back, so it was like, so I would want to hurt you, but I
- 1:07:57did. I would tell you, I would tell
- 1:07:59other homie. No.
- 1:08:01Until tomorrow. He gotta see me.
- 1:08:03Yeah. Angemon be like telling you
- 1:08:05gotta see me, but we were still running a group together.
- 1:08:10Yeah, what? Yeah.
- 1:08:11So both. You're running this group
- 1:08:14because no matter who started it, like okay.
- 1:08:16So I made it came up with the idea, whatever, whatever.
- 1:08:18But no, I we're in position, okay.
- 1:08:22Hey, why is this a, yeah, I want to ask what the soap aside from,
- 1:08:27like the camaraderie type of thing.
- 1:08:29Yeah. What was the motive because I
- 1:08:31want to at this time clean what? You're bringing the same culture
- 1:08:36that you guys are you guys are both been brought up in but now
- 1:08:39you're just unite in it together.
- 1:08:41It was just like You know we laugh Party play and talk but
- 1:08:47you don't fuck with each other but you fuck with well no but
- 1:08:49but but she fucks but just says you know like this it's like the
- 1:08:53when we used to hang out at my at the Trap we'd be playing
- 1:08:56Killing you guys siblings. I do.
- 1:08:58I'm the older you know sir. Yeah I guess but it was it was
- 1:09:01it was just like that but we wanted to still bring Unity but
- 1:09:05we were funking but it was it was it was really your personal
- 1:09:11shit. Yeah.
- 1:09:12But I would say, We'll look at them and if anything happened to
- 1:09:15them, I feel bad. Yeah.
- 1:09:17Yeah. Unless I was doing it.
- 1:09:20Yeah, that is different, right? But so, so when it got to the
- 1:09:24point, where that mellowed out, Does my ass whatever.
- 1:09:30So you had you said Riot Squad. That was the, that was the
- 1:09:32original and that was when you guys are still like cool, yes,
- 1:09:36wine. And my squad to me and might be
- 1:09:38his own dark. Warriors at that shit for a
- 1:09:41minute. That's it, that shit dropped
- 1:09:43off, you know, saying like a bad bag of dope and then now we on.
- 1:09:48Yeah. So we stayed how we were we had.
- 1:09:54So you like it was kind of just like Anna Vent.
- 1:09:58You guys were like, what was that?
- 1:09:59No, it didn't, it didn't become an event until and this is why
- 1:10:05and and this is why it's. So as we have we are now like we
- 1:10:13have seen today. Yeah.
- 1:10:15This is because jamort me, I was interested in expanding friends
- 1:10:20groups, alcohol? Yeah.
- 1:10:22This guy, this guy might know this group of dudes so we can
- 1:10:25all expand our friends group and it sounds like you've been
- 1:10:27thinking Like this guy. Remember the topics they always?
- 1:10:30Yeah, so I wasn't he always wanted new friend, he always
- 1:10:33thinking he always want a new book out.
- 1:10:37Am I not enough? Like, but with the more people,
- 1:10:40you know, the more, your neck can get cast.
- 1:10:42Yeah. Don't know.
- 1:10:43Who you don't know. And yeah, no more opportunities.
- 1:10:47Yeah, and just like a great situation if positive mind you
- 1:10:54want to fight. I'm looking at you right man.
- 1:10:59So, we, that's what started the group.
- 1:11:03And then, it was an inside joke because I would always display
- 1:11:07display, my car at World Time, attack and acid.
- 1:11:10I'm sorry. No NASA, but NASCAR, Indian
- 1:11:12should like that. So I would just play my car
- 1:11:14there and because the car is how I was, people didn't come to me
- 1:11:19from the car. What did you have done now?
- 1:11:21At this point in your car with you exactly how it is when I
- 1:11:24come. So what that word carbon is
- 1:11:26Hank? Remix for.
- 1:11:29And I was gonna say that because we were walking around the pits
- 1:11:31when we first got there. And that's the one of the first
- 1:11:33ones, we walked up to that like a magnet.
- 1:11:35I was like who's got these stickers on here?
- 1:11:37What's this, what's up? What's this?
- 1:11:38OMG drift car? Like I do that because of
- 1:11:41vintage. Yeah, dude, I love to thank you
- 1:11:43mr. Yeah, he was next thing, I was
- 1:11:44like, this is from Mike and I can tell I can attest to that
- 1:11:47because Frankie was like, I'm going to be able to tell how
- 1:11:50long this car has been in the game right now went to the back
- 1:11:52windshield and he goes. You see this?
- 1:11:55Yeah. And I'm glad to do.
- 1:11:57I keep That's why I was like I want to see this car written and
- 1:12:02I was having to waste gate. Is she?
- 1:12:07I've fucking I made my son cry with that.
- 1:12:10Chicken fucker, chases him and he never saw your fucked up and
- 1:12:22he saw it get fucked up and I came to the pits and I could
- 1:12:26already see him crying. I'm like Am I fucking hurt his
- 1:12:30feelings? That's like--that's of the
- 1:12:32family, dog. Exactly what it was.
- 1:12:34I was like, it's okay baby. Like, I'm fix it.
- 1:12:36I fucked up. And it was it was what happened
- 1:12:40when I was tired. I went and did some paid event
- 1:12:43the day before I was supposed to be at home getting rest, I'm up
- 1:12:46all fucking night and I miss whatever is The Drifter way I'm
- 1:12:50show, but no sleep. I showed up with no sleeping
- 1:12:52with trash. It's fucking disappointed and my
- 1:12:55boy went bong. He came Into my car, it was
- 1:13:00fuck. But what happens?
- 1:13:01It was you have was, but it was, it was just funny.
- 1:13:03So with the car being on display as it is, another guy that we
- 1:13:09would, we would volunteer, but I was very consistent.
- 1:13:12Yeah, showing up so other guys that come and nobody would come
- 1:13:16to me about the cars. Hmm.
- 1:13:18I would display two of my cars, I would just play three of my
- 1:13:21car sack then yeah. Polish it and nobody was fucking
- 1:13:26coming to me about it. I was like, that's fine.
- 1:13:29Here's the rundown of everything with the car they have
- 1:13:32questions. You can answer them no problem.
- 1:13:36Yeah. So he would answer everything
- 1:13:39they asked about the car They like damn dude.
- 1:13:42How long you had. It said this isn't my car there.
- 1:13:45Fuck, whose car is it? Who you playing that?
- 1:13:52They point. He pointed me.
- 1:13:54Yeah they look that's his car. He's like yeah, what are they
- 1:14:01shocked? Oh yeah.
- 1:14:03Because of the stereotype he goes.
- 1:14:04Oh yeah. So sometimes people will walk
- 1:14:09up. Yo this is fucking sick.
- 1:14:10Okay. See did you see my reaction just
- 1:14:12there because I don't, I'm not yeah, I don't think that on
- 1:14:16NASCAR fans would ya know. Like, that's yeah.
- 1:14:20That and that was a prime example of it right there.
- 1:14:22Like so how the black dudes drift came about is a person
- 1:14:27literally said, black dudes Rift.
- 1:14:30Oh as a question. Like, what?
- 1:14:32So yes. So the group started?
- 1:14:34It just took the question mark. Yeah, I was a hashtag group.
- 1:14:38Yeah, this is a, this is a what I could tell right now.
- 1:14:41And like, one thing I heard from an old manager, it's the term
- 1:14:44forged by fire. Yeah, this is like from so much
- 1:14:49different struggles that everybody went to went through.
- 1:14:53Yes, different problems. Different solutions that were
- 1:14:56brought you came with this. And so just because of that, it
- 1:15:02was like oh that's funny. So then we keep a tally to our
- 1:15:05self and my other home easy to use white away kid, right?
- 1:15:09Yeah. So then he we start keeping a
- 1:15:11tally and when he noticed it he'd be like, yeah, that's
- 1:15:16funny. And so we just started to be
- 1:15:19really funny. It started to be very regular
- 1:15:22and really funny. Hmm.
- 1:15:24And then when I tell them, you know, you can you believe that
- 1:15:27shit or sometimes? I would set a camera up just set
- 1:15:30it there. Yes.
- 1:15:32And so people look for real this happens.
- 1:15:34Yeah. So then they're like, all is
- 1:15:38having me too. Yeah, that's, that's ejected.
- 1:15:42Drifting is like a thing by now in the senate in the country.
- 1:15:44Yeah, in the car. Yeah.
- 1:15:47So next, I'm just trying to think because, okay, so, I got
- 1:15:51into drifting roughly around like 2017.
- 1:15:54And when I met Darryl, are you doing?
- 1:15:5866 years. Yes.
- 1:15:59What 2023? Yeah, I guess.
- 1:16:01Yeah. And at this point when I met
- 1:16:05Darryl, I'm trying to think. Because 2017, that's a couple
- 1:16:09years after, you know, you you're running into this problem
- 1:16:12now. Hmm, Darrell.
- 1:16:14And I when I met him, I was like I don't know if I even thought
- 1:16:18about it that way. I looked at him.
- 1:16:20He had a cool ass car. Yeah, we don't.
- 1:16:22And he was, he was rolling up and then he was like, yeah, I
- 1:16:26was like, hey, you rolling up. I'll match due to this regular.
- 1:16:30And then, and then, and then after you get, he's like yeah
- 1:16:33man, I have BMWs, I got you 36s, I wasn't the Hondas at the time
- 1:16:37and good. We are and then and then we
- 1:16:40bonded over the part where we discovered drifting at the same
- 1:16:43time and like I never thought about and it's not a thought.
- 1:16:47So our community is not as thought.
- 1:16:49Yeah, Joe everybody is not a thought.
- 1:16:51We didn't care about that. Yeah.
- 1:16:53But race fans. Yeah, what?
- 1:16:57Yeah, that's okay. So it wasn't really a thing with
- 1:16:59English Community. It was a thing within the larger
- 1:17:02Community the larger community and because, you know, at that
- 1:17:04point in time Racers. Fuck, is this drift shit?
- 1:17:08Yeah, because of race. There's a winner.
- 1:17:10Some people ask me. How do you win?
- 1:17:13I mean bash, scripting was always last man.
- 1:17:15She told ya when you go drifting in fact that might be
- 1:17:34Yeah, but that that that's exactly how I was drifting, was
- 1:17:37the black sheep of autorun of. Yeah.
- 1:17:41And so it's kind of funny how it probably still is.
- 1:17:44But in my mind is, like, do you guys?
- 1:17:46But it's such a forces and yet it's such a force is undeniable.
- 1:17:50Yeah. Like I do driver instructing
- 1:17:54race car drivers. To drift because you don't lose
- 1:17:59the right, you don't spin off the track because you couldn't
- 1:18:01keep the car straight. You might lose the position.
- 1:18:04Yeah, you might lose a lap time but you're still in the game,
- 1:18:06knowing how to control a car. And drift is one of the most
- 1:18:09useful things, even for Street driving in our area, when it
- 1:18:12snows. Mmm, get sideways, you kind of
- 1:18:14lose the car and you're just immediately like, well, this is
- 1:18:17not a big deal but then other people.
- 1:18:18It is undeniably fun. You watch a car review of a
- 1:18:23professional driver and they're talking about the car and the
- 1:18:26The mome only time you will see them smile, really big, my guess
- 1:18:30is when it gets sideways and they're like, whoa.
- 1:18:33Look at that. Like, you know, and and through
- 1:18:37years of growth and as you see, I think you mentioned earlier,
- 1:18:41was more, like, a, like it, you weren't advertising this know.
- 1:18:44So you weren't just like, Hey, we're actively like trying to
- 1:18:47know the community, right? So because it was an inside
- 1:18:50joke. It wasn't like we were trying
- 1:18:55to. Hey, come join, come join, come
- 1:18:57join, bro. It was his, those are new new.
- 1:18:59Those are didn't ya. Whispering in my ear Shield is
- 1:19:25cries? Look great.
- 1:19:29How many Palmer feeling? It's fantastic?
- 1:19:32That had to give me some. Can we look?
- 1:19:37Man I told you this was a comfortable podcast.
- 1:19:39Yeah, this is cool please. But how do we listen to me?
- 1:19:43No. Can wait is that they get
- 1:19:47Safeway? And some sugar and some unsalted
- 1:19:53butter. All right,
- 1:20:12that sounds Southern like this is the best part.
- 1:20:17Guys, we ever had. Sugar and groups of people be
- 1:20:23like what the fuck are you doing?
- 1:20:26I'm from California. Yeah, I staple should, you know,
- 1:20:29put the sugar is, she said it multiple times a day.
- 1:20:32I'll be like, I'll look at Frank.
- 1:20:34I'm like, you, I don't think California is real, dude.
- 1:20:36I'm having a blast over here. Yeah.
- 1:20:38Weird pnt. Start paying taxes.
- 1:20:40Yeah. We know it's tough.
- 1:20:57We go pay them bills each month we like goddamn.
- 1:20:59Yeah but after that Spade I let me go see how I can function
- 1:21:04with, you know. Yeah whatever.
- 1:21:09With that you're still drifting, you still find a way to do.
- 1:21:14We got there's things that you cannot give up on my brain,
- 1:21:18just, as last year, motherfucker summertime.
- 1:21:21So, why haven't you been drifting?
- 1:21:23Well, money is tight. Let me know.
- 1:21:30No, because you said, Yeah, busy.
- 1:21:39I'm in the same boat. I get it.
- 1:21:40He's busy and of course it can't come out.
- 1:21:44Nicely presentable. Yeah, that's the other thing.
- 1:21:47You want to share my God a week ago that motherfucking car was a
- 1:21:52shell and in pieces a week ago, they had Joe.
- 1:21:57Yeah. But see the network he dude this
- 1:22:00that get this done. Get some sun he can go to work

- 1:22:31Matter of fact, take much. Well, don't let ship you that
- 1:22:33money. Where?
- 1:22:34No, it's never about money. If I pay for an event I ain't
- 1:22:37gonna make it. Go ahead.
- 1:22:38Yeah, like literally I don't that's something that we've
- 1:22:42always had because we've always had a little bit of change and
- 1:22:46it's like y'all I'm never going to get mad at you about a dollar
- 1:22:49dude. Yeah it's never that I think I
- 1:22:52mean we're lucky to we have a really good friend group and
- 1:22:54we've had that hurt. Yes to and and I think it's
- 1:22:57just, I think it's just because we good energy attracts good
- 1:23:00energy. That's not really a man.
- 1:23:02Is like good energy. It's all day.
- 1:23:05Today, I didn't mean a single person.
- 1:23:07I'll maybe I'll be up on on those little Grand stands on the
- 1:23:10on the side of the track. And I'll be saying something and
- 1:23:13somebody will say something to my right and then all of a
- 1:23:15sudden were having a conversation.
- 1:23:16That's what I loved about today. But what you're doing is Big
- 1:23:20because the thing I hear the most in our area is people will
- 1:23:24reach out and be like man, I wish like I was like don't leave
- 1:23:26a comment on something big man. I wish I had a group of friends

- 1:27:16And then it's but look, the younger generation.
- 1:27:20They, I don't think they know how to do it and no, they're not
- 1:27:23to communicate right? You know.
- 1:27:24And I would say this, right? Like, you really have to

- 1:29:38somebody go off the line. Yeah.
- 1:29:39With the control arm busted, I'm saying like I'm saying, like
- 1:29:45like you mentioned, you mentioned, you mentioned keys to
- 1:29:48the house, the show had no clue that somebody who can help you
- 1:29:56one of my best friends now. Frankie.
- 1:30:00Is he I was on a vacation with my family and I was a lot
- 1:30:05younger. And, and no, nobody, no, no, he
- 1:30:08did not let the dog out he would, he would come to my house
- 1:30:11on his lunch break. He worked around the corner from
- 1:30:13my house. You worked at a dealership and I
- 1:30:15needed help rebuilding. My Sr was a Nissan.
- 1:30:18Well yeah it was a Nissan dealership and he would he would
- 1:30:21go there hard on his lunch break while I'm in Miami with my
- 1:30:24family and work on my engine. When I came back, the engine was
- 1:30:27done and now we can work on it. Continue.
- 1:30:30You continue working on it. A lot of people are going to do
- 1:30:33that shit for somebody. He did that because that's his
- 1:30:35boy and he knew that I trusted him.
- 1:30:38I wasn't asking him. Like I trusted what he had to
- 1:30:42offer me. You're right because you were
- 1:30:44gracious. Enough to offer it to me.
- 1:30:47I did. Chris is like that too.
- 1:30:48Yeah, he'll be the first to help Daryl's like that too.
- 1:30:51I was having issues issues with, with my transmission.
- 1:30:53And Darrell will be the first one.
- 1:30:55Nah, man. We're gonna figure this out and
- 1:30:57then, and then I have to sit there and I'm like, I don't know
- 1:30:58why the fuck I'm freaking out about this.
- 1:31:00We're going to Going to figure this out, right?
- 1:31:02And, and yeah, I guess, that is, oh, I see you nature
- 1:31:06motherfuckers freaked out on shit.
- 1:31:08Yes, it will be small. They be like, God damn it.
- 1:31:10Yeah, yeah. Isn't that isn't that weird
- 1:31:13though? I don't know.
- 1:31:14Like wouldn't one of the younger dude.
- 1:31:15What did you think? The younger generation would see
- 1:31:17that and they would want that that they do.
- 1:31:19Why do they go? Why do you think they go towards
- 1:31:21the animosity aspect of it right away?
- 1:31:23That's very easy. Yeah, the prisoner I brought her
- 1:31:26to, you know, say oh yeah it's because he isn't it.
- 1:31:30It's easier to jump to the motherfucker we're worried.
- 1:31:34I forgot, I forgot Josh's. Here did wait.
- 1:31:36I want you because you're on some good right now much time on
- 1:31:38trying to make. But, you know, it may not be
- 1:31:40just on the easier aspect, you know, say I can be for how you
- 1:31:43brought up like like for example, like like when kids
- 1:31:46would come to my neighborhood hostile, my parents like you
- 1:31:49better go whoop their ass. That's what it was.
- 1:31:51I'm saying. Like I was come out the house,
- 1:31:53take it on my shirt. Like who I'm slapping up?
- 1:31:55That's that's what was going on. So it depends now they just talk
- 1:31:59shit on the phone, are you? Shut up.
- 1:32:01Yeah, he said some animosity we listening to be projecting.
- 1:32:11Yes. We're just like do those things
- 1:32:15instead of like, actually like understanding, why you're upset
- 1:32:19why there's animosity and then working to results because think
- 1:32:23about processing your emotion. Yes, I will be pissed that he
- 1:32:38didn't like that. He won't do it again because,
- 1:32:42you know, we cool. Yeah, but if I just if I just
- 1:32:44like act different to him because he did, because I didn't
- 1:32:46like it, he obviously gonna see that I'm acting different, or
- 1:32:50I'm acting weird, and he ain't gonna like that, but they ain't
- 1:32:52even solve. So that's, that's the easy way
- 1:32:54out in the kids. That's 100% true and is Mike
- 1:32:59heaviest. The whatever is good quality
- 1:33:02shit. All right, what were you playing
- 1:33:04games when we come here? All right, something that that
- 1:33:07has been been more prevalent in our, in our community.
- 1:33:10Nowadays is self-awareness. It's a lot of self-awareness
- 1:33:12Focus. Now I'm hearing there wasn't, I
- 1:33:14feel like there's been an increase of large increase in
- 1:33:18awareness of that, like, we need to be more aware of what's going
- 1:33:21on in our own brains so that we can continue to be productive.
- 1:33:24Yeah. You can't analyze yourself and
- 1:33:27understand what the fuck's going on with yourself.
- 1:33:28Why are you on a downward spiral?
- 1:33:30The death way. Yeah.
- 1:33:31Like that blowing your own brain and I've got sounds like it's so
- 1:33:38easy to get in a spiral of defeat and like depression on a
- 1:33:44something that can take take you just a little bit more time to
- 1:33:48figure out what is going on there.
- 1:33:50Pushing never give up. Yeah, and and that dopamine that
- 1:33:54excitement of when you didn't just allow it to defeat you and
- 1:33:59you figured the work around, Once you're like oh shit.
- 1:34:02I got that. I mean like I said where my car
- 1:34:05was in pieces that we go and I was like, fuck that shit.

- 1:45:15because it's a focus that I like it everybody there.
- 1:45:17I like just because we're all into cars and drifting.
- 1:45:21Yeah so that's automatic. Doesn't matter what color you
- 1:45:24are off to rip but when he showed his name was like, Dang,
- 1:45:30it look like me. That's now that one moment to
- 1:45:36him and do I was so proud. I'm sitting.
- 1:45:39I'm like look at this little fucking 15 year old kids
- 1:45:41mingling. Yeah, like he's mangling.
- 1:45:44So bro. Comfortable walking talking to
- 1:45:46everybody fucking me. I didn't know where he was half
- 1:45:49the time. Yeah, that's amazing.
- 1:45:52Same thing with my kid walking around talking to everybody
- 1:45:55hopping in random motherfuckers person.

- 1:45:58Yeah, I'm saying he hopping and everything acting different
- 1:46:01today. Right?
- 1:46:04Yeah, but it was but it what what happened was as a person
- 1:46:09that is comfortable. Just like I get drifting and I
- 1:46:14get cool people. Uh-huh.
- 1:46:16But then it was like, oh shit. I get drifting with the same
- 1:46:20cool people that I see cuz they came as friends of all these
- 1:46:24people that look like me. It could be it's not.
- 1:46:31It's one of those things where it's not that big of a deal, but
- 1:46:34it was a big deal. That yeah, that he did get to
- 1:46:37see that. Yeah, and he was like, oh shit
- 1:46:40that's so-and-so from. I see him on the on Instagram, I
- 1:46:43was about to fucking I was about to look over there.
- 1:46:45Again, you pointed over there was a bottle I was about to look
- 1:46:48at Henny Palmer. Taking his goddamn it, but it's
- 1:46:51so cool because see I do my best with Sonoma when I when we get
- 1:46:55people like, bro. What's so?
- 1:46:57Money is so, my son is in this shit.
- 1:47:00Yeah, it's in him as a father in.
- 1:47:02Aren't how happy does that make you?
- 1:47:05So I'm not, I don't have any kids or me, right?
- 1:47:09Is a challenge because this little motherfucker is good, 15
- 1:47:14years old, you're already doing the shit that I that makes me me
- 1:47:18right now. He's only seen AVS on FR
- 1:47:22Legends. Oh, shit.
- 1:47:24Until this point until today. He linked.
- 1:47:28Hey, was winking at you two. Yeah, went out there and bombed
- 1:47:32a second gear entry like fat. I'm like, what the fuck is he
- 1:47:35doing? Yeah, and that's an a now, he's
- 1:47:38turbo. Oh, what is low?
- 1:47:40Power is very low power. Okay.
- 1:47:42See my thing is you have to learn it before I upgraded?
- 1:47:46Yeah, I will not upgrade it because you think you needed.
- 1:47:49So we try to tell everyone. Yes, he's got old school.
- 1:47:52Chop Knuckles from 05. Yeah, 05 yes, you know, no
- 1:47:56handbrake nuns. Three Turbo with a
- 1:47:59front-mounted. Exhaust still spooling, do food.
- 1:48:03And so when he goes out there and he takes everything I've
- 1:48:07taught him and then he goes and does it.
- 1:48:09And I sit back and be like, that was dangerous.
- 1:48:11But that was tight. Now, I'm not gonna stop you.
- 1:48:16I want you to perfect it without me because so we ride
- 1:48:19motorcycles to write and I've taught him hellish it and he's
- 1:48:23really good, but if I'm on the track, Or he's worried about
- 1:48:29what I think he sucks. Yeah, it's really weird.
- 1:48:33It's a really weird concept. He feels I'm judging him and
- 1:48:36know that you're judging him yet and pressures on it.
- 1:48:39If I say not, go do your thing. And then he does like two or
- 1:48:44three sessions and then then I pop out of this motherfuckers
- 1:48:48fast, I got to chase him down so the car thing that's his he
- 1:48:55loves e. Hm this is his passion, it's
- 1:49:00literally in him. If this isn't a fad yeah this is
- 1:49:04him through. And through his first fucking
- 1:49:06words was drift car, he'd be in the in the ground.
- 1:49:09You know how you can go on the carpet and drag It one way,
- 1:49:12young was making tracks like that and then he said with his
- 1:49:15Hot Wheels and run it, that was two years old.
- 1:49:17I still got that shit in my house.
- 1:49:18I was going to say, I still do fucking brother, I would be
- 1:49:22lining them up. Oh, he did he first and then you
- 1:49:25drift them one by one. His first photos on his iPhone
- 1:49:27is all is Hot Wheels lined up? Yep.
- 1:49:29And then he go take it and put them in photos and make them
- 1:49:33look like they're tandem. So this is him since to.
- 1:49:36Now he's here, I've been secretly to having him drive
- 1:49:39since he was eight goddamn. Couldn't see over the front of
- 1:49:44the dash but he can see sideways over the door now.
- 1:49:49I'm like I'm not asking nobody shit you're driving.
- 1:49:52If we get in trouble we get in trouble.
- 1:49:54Yeah. But now people see him driving
- 1:49:56it like oh not he actually has talent and I always tell people
- 1:50:01like, yo, do you want a license 21 year old to can't drive or an
- 1:50:06unlicensed fifteen-year-old that can drive?
- 1:50:08Yeah, like can drive drunk. Yeah, so now When he goes out
- 1:50:13and does shit. I'm like, I'm not going to stop
- 1:50:16him. He's got his Bluetooth comes in
- 1:50:18his helmet. I don't call him.
- 1:50:19I don't say you do your thing and if you fuck up, you fucked
- 1:50:22up. Yeah, you got to learn it but we
- 1:50:26have so much simpler. We got a ton of sim rigs at the
- 1:50:29house. Yeah, this little fucker be on
- 1:50:31there for hours driving. The same fucking configuration.
- 1:50:36Uh-huh. Now, he sees me do it but I do
- 1:50:39it for a specific reason because I like to perfect things.
- 1:50:44I need to pick up where I fucked up.
- 1:50:46I need to do it, so once I do it, I say cool.
- 1:50:49I got that, but he'll do it blindly.
- 1:50:53It's not to perfecting the, it's just run, he's so running so
- 1:50:57many left. So then when he goes and gets in
- 1:50:59the car today, I'm like his fucker has not seen a vs surface
- 1:51:03at all. So we talk about this all the
- 1:51:04time. Housing Ray simulators.
- 1:51:06And all that. Yeah, it do.
- 1:51:07They do a chain that since 2012. I never use my iPhone.
- 1:51:12A big Advocate on it. I do is this is that's how I
- 1:51:15learned will used to say get the Ryan literal jtp would say, get
- 1:51:20the fuck out of here with that shit.
- 1:51:23I mean it's got to work. I learned though, it's your men.
- 1:51:26It's your minimal. Hang on line to you muscles.
- 1:51:33What? I was going to let it pass but
- 1:51:36the names you just name. They got to show me something.

- 1:53:58I don't see them playing games. I see them.
- 1:54:01Okay. Full Throttle like they putting
- 1:54:03a feet to the floor and you have some stuff that's going to go
- 1:54:05up. Here's why I have no comments
- 1:54:09because now we I should have bullshit.
- 1:54:10I kind of don't watch it either. If I don't watch it, watch it.
- 1:54:13That's why I like but I watched the know if I've seen it.
- 1:54:15Yes. Yes.
- 1:54:17I do. Almost I basically never watch
- 1:54:21them. Okay.
- 1:54:22So I watched Grassroots drifting but also dealing shit though.
- 1:54:25The yeah I deceived and d z so Trish master so.
- 1:54:34Jeff Masters. Yeah boy.
- 1:54:36That's just what I am. What I like.
- 1:54:39What I get to do with Sonoma, is I get to drive with RFD Pros,
- 1:54:45right? So because of that, and a lot of
- 1:54:50them are, you know, I've chilled with during these long fucking
- 1:54:54weekends at Winter Jam and more invested in them as people.
- 1:55:00Yeah. Alright.
- 1:55:01Yeah. I see that.
- 1:55:02Yeah. And now I don't really care what
- 1:55:05you do. Yeah.
- 1:55:05I bet your arms out like them too obvious.
- 1:55:07Definition to the wall. It sounds like you've been doing
- 1:55:10that, I've been and because, and because I have, like, I've seen
- 1:55:16the struggle for his hand. I know it's a dog.
- 1:55:18So, when I was doing Pro-Am and you know, jtp told me, he said,
- 1:55:22yo, do you feel like this is something you really want to do?
- 1:55:27Do you know how many sleepless nights?
- 1:55:29Do you know how much of a grind this is?
- 1:55:32Do you know how hard you have to work too soon to acquire sponsor
- 1:55:37ending? Do you know how much?
- 1:55:40Because he, I I have my kids in 07, right.
- 1:55:44Do you know how much you're gonna be away from your family?
- 1:55:46Do you, do you know these things?
- 1:55:48And I'm like, yeah I know, right?
- 1:55:51So you'd like so I'ma tell you If you not really, really like
- 1:55:58this is where you want to live and breathe, don't do it.
- 1:56:01Hmm. So at that point, my only goal
- 1:56:06was Pro-Am All-Stars in 2012, that shit 2012, 23rd, 2012 and
- 1:56:14our season happened to go, it was Irwindale all the Pro-Am top
- 1:56:18three guys, from all the programs came battled Irwindale.
- 1:56:22That was my only goal. Year, I was there that I was
- 1:56:25second place. I was going to get anything to
- 1:56:27cancel it. That's alright.
- 1:56:29Fuck it be. I mean honestly it was probably
- 1:56:31a good decision. I mean, but Doug, what I did
- 1:56:35Julian Jacobs, they did the year before me.
- 1:56:37I was going the next year. I watch Julie and going that
- 1:56:39fucking thing in like, yo, I drive with him.
- 1:56:43Yeah, right. I can because again, remember I
- 1:56:48was saying La was the Pinnacle. Yeah NorCal started to we
- 1:56:53started to fucking creep. Yeah, dude, for sure.
- 1:56:56And I've started to sit at Sonoma every week and I'm like
- 1:57:01your we're breeding. Drivers mean, if you ask me
- 1:57:04around that time, I would have said it was NorCal but we still
- 1:57:08have that chip on our shoulder. We have to prove to SoCal.
- 1:57:12Yeah. We are those dudes.
- 1:57:15So we wanted to Prove it not through we're not even going to
- 1:57:19talk stats. We want to come in fucking wreck
- 1:57:24shop. Yeah, we show out.
- 1:57:25So I wanted to do Pro-Am All-Stars because a NorCal do
- 1:57:30came through in a borrowed car. I think he got like third or
- 1:57:34something. He did some very impactful.
- 1:57:38Tandems, I wanted to come and follow that up.
- 1:57:41I want to do the same thing. I wanted to come from the same
- 1:57:44place. Yeah.
- 1:57:45And I wanted to give the same Fucking show.
- 1:57:48So when that got pulled, it's like damn, yeah, that's a
- 1:57:52bummer. Grassroots, it is.
- 1:57:55And I've literally because we built that car to go do ft shit.
- 1:58:01So at that, Speck at that time frame, that was a car.
- 1:58:05That would have been able to go into this crazy that you kept it
- 1:58:09then and it's like a time we kept the magic.
- 1:58:12Yes, jtp. Somebody asked him was like, yo,
- 1:58:15who got the best FC and In North America.
- 1:58:18Just seems like Lexus. Yeah.
- 1:58:20Anyway, I really because when everybody thinks about it, hope
- 1:58:22you like hurt or whoever. Yeah.
- 1:58:25But what Justin knows the magic that he learned, he put into my
- 1:58:30car, right? We never changed it, but when we
- 1:58:34found a way to improve, we saw, if we could apply it and if it
- 1:58:38messed with the magic, brought it back out and because he knew
- 1:58:44he's like, do you even driving to chase his soul?
- 1:58:47Along. This is what we do with it.
- 1:58:50This is how you do it and when he and I drove together he's
- 1:58:54like I'm not as motherfucker got it.
- 1:58:56They were the one time because Justin is if y'all know him he's
- 1:59:00like a - cool. I never met him.
- 1:59:06A lot of people give him a bad rap, like you can't, you can't.
- 1:59:10That's literally how he is the day that we drove at Winter Jam
- 1:59:16and Justin was doing the pros. Vert, we were, we started
- 1:59:20separated first, we would all intertwined and mix.
- 1:59:23Then we started running after you Pros vs.
- 1:59:25The regular guys. And when Justin when I came in,
- 1:59:28he was like, you know, you fucking rocking.
- 1:59:30Yeah. I'll work.
- 1:59:32Yeah, I was gonna say you must have felt good when you were
- 1:59:35saying that so when he said that I can drive now.
- 1:59:39Yeah, and that was because I would go a long time.
- 1:59:42I don't I don't ask, I don't know nothing.
- 1:59:44Yeah and not to mention he was the one.
- 1:59:47It's not the first person that you kind of communicate with
- 1:59:49first FDA anything that I really was like, it would be weird.
- 1:59:55So a lot of my friends and Justin would call me or I call
- 1:59:58him Like. Is that fucking yeah?
- 2:00:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, Myspace, right.
- 2:00:09Mostly what it was. But so that was like a dog
- 2:00:17loyal, right? Yeah.
- 2:00:19Yeah, it's good. If you're my friend, That's
- 2:00:24really, that's really what it is and I don't care.
- 2:00:29I would back when it used to be a thing, when wreck magazine and
- 2:00:33him, they be posting shit. I would be in the comments
- 2:00:35defended their now. You don't know him.
- 2:00:39Y'all don't know him. When everybody would be putting
- 2:00:41shit. Oh he's this.
- 2:00:42He's that. No.
- 2:00:43He I would waste my time in there saying?
- 2:00:45No, he's not. Oh, y'all got it wrong but um,
- 2:00:50yeah, he didn't. Yeah.
- 2:00:52He don't care wasn't a weight to know right?
- 2:00:54He don't care and he didn't care and I was like I he don't care.
- 2:00:59Yeah and so then I was like all right cool and I stopped doing
- 2:01:04that but every time I got a chance to drive with Justin so I
- 2:01:08would dissect what he did. I always wanted to chase I think
- 2:01:12is only one time he chased me and he punted me all around the
- 2:01:17track battered. Me all the way around the track
- 2:01:20and I'd sit and laugh and have Hit me, and I do not correct if
- 2:01:24we go and we made them and we were laughing.
- 2:01:27But when I chase him, I always look and be like, that's what
- 2:01:30he's doing. Yeah, this is how he's doing it.
- 2:01:32That's what he's doing. So I learned how to drive the SE
- 2:01:36chassis, even better seeing how he was doing it.
- 2:01:41And then I developed my own shit because I was I did not want to
- 2:01:46replace Transmissions, I don't clutch kick my car.
- 2:01:50A lot of people don't know that. Clutch bump it.
- 2:01:54Mmm. Yeah I don't go, I don't do
- 2:01:59that. Yeah, come on Factory drivetrain
- 2:02:01through and through and just a would tell me does not change
- 2:02:06transmission is in the first couple All-Star bashes.
- 2:02:08I broke Transmissions left and right now.
- 2:02:10Dang. So then I develop my style so
- 2:02:12then it was like when we knew we had we knew how the carb a
- 2:02:16power, we did what he did and we just left it that was it and all
- 2:02:20done is just drive it for. Long fucking taste.
- 2:02:23Yeah. How much power is it gonna make
- 2:02:25400? And you said, stock drivetrain
- 2:02:28to stop drivetrain 365 tour call before 2800 RPM oh shit it makes
- 2:02:34power like ALS. Yeah what the fuck in a rotary
- 2:02:38by the yeah? What problems were you running
- 2:02:40into today? Always gateways doesn't because
- 2:02:43it's 10 years old. Yeah that's probably got the
- 2:02:46biggest looking wastegate on. It's the old HK is 50.
- 2:02:49Yeah that's exactly what I was talking about a messed-up.
- 2:02:52Yeah, my view, it's late and boost go to the moon and it's
- 2:02:55like yeah. Luckily, that old tune is
- 2:02:58pulling it back, so it was doing dumb shit.
- 2:03:01So I get on superpower knitted, cut out.
- 2:03:04So I was like, this is fucked but of course because I haven't
- 2:03:09touched a car. I just maintain it and drag it.
- 2:03:11Yeah. So I've got to, I've got a
- 2:03:12revamp, it didn't. Then the thing is where I don't
- 2:03:15want to again. I don't want to change anything
- 2:03:18because Justin's moved away now and I used to relieve would come
- 2:03:22On the LA spin the weekend. We revamped the car.
- 2:03:25Refresh it up and then we go. So now it's kind of like, damn.
- 2:03:28Do I even really want to touch it?
- 2:03:29Yeah, you know, I mean if it works it works just fix it
- 2:03:35because I used to work side-by-side with a
- 2:03:37motherfucking the new it through and through.
- 2:03:39And on contrary belief, he made the time I got mad as fuck it
- 2:03:44that dude, I didn't want to do my fuel lines.
- 2:03:49My oh, my do this shit. He's like, I just do this, do
- 2:03:51that. Do this.
- 2:03:52That man some fuel flew in my fucking eyes.
- 2:03:55Oh I've been there and he's looking at me laughing crazy and
- 2:03:58I'm like bro I could fucking RKO your ass, right?
- 2:04:04Let me and he's like your you mad at me?
- 2:04:06I'm like fuck. Yeah, I thought I was going
- 2:04:09blind when? Yeah, yeah, darling.
- 2:04:11I'm out there calling poison control.

- 2:17:58my first run, I remember Josh, thole is my good friend from
- 2:18:01Front Street drift Club comes over to me.
- 2:18:03He's like, who the fuck was in that car?
- 2:18:05I was like, yeah, I feel pretty good about it.

- 2:18:25Because you still had to Precision but you would do shit
- 2:18:28that you wouldn't do some people work better under pressure and
- 2:18:31that's 100% meet the vibe wasn't pressure though.
- 2:18:35The vibe just made, you made you ride.
- 2:18:37It was exciting. It was exciting.
- 2:18:39Yeah. Like being in the car, I there
- 2:18:41is one round or when of the battles I didn't feel like I
- 2:18:46could do gave me is all. In he lost because he
- 2:18:51straightened her understood as something and I purposely spun
- 2:18:54the car for one more time. Nice, it said, naw motherfucker,

- 2:19:03Not, I don't want to get the win laughs.
- 2:19:05Yeah. Right.
- 2:19:06No. I want the battle.
- 2:19:07Yeah, and it was just like that. That's the only comp that I
- 2:19:12remember watching. And I was like, this shit is
- 2:19:13fun. It's really were all having a
- 2:19:15blast like, I don't that shit doesn't happen.
- 2:19:17It Formula Drift, bro. Like and and that would be the
- 2:19:21way that like yo some FD guys. I wish they would come to do sit
- 2:19:27like that. Some do believe the horsepower
- 2:19:30deal. They do occasionally they do
- 2:19:32leave the horsepower at home like even if it's 400 words per
- 2:19:36liter shit home I mean Club loose we used to do this shit
- 2:19:39all the time. Like Vaughn kidding, right?
- 2:19:41Eric blow for story was. Yeah, gnarly, too.
- 2:19:44Hey, they have an event at Club lose that that makes That kind
- 2:19:48of kind of makes it fun if we actually broke bro, down.
- 2:19:52Bro, bro. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:19:53The locals were published in New Jersey knit Jersey Englishtown
- 2:19:59Raceway Park. Yeah, there's a drag strip that
- 2:20:02had a road course, but the road course, well, they started in
- 2:20:06the parking lot. Yeah, you know, Matt Petty,
- 2:20:09until I think Tim was one of the founders to and a couple other
- 2:20:13couple other guys. And they were like, come on, let
- 2:20:15us, let us just fuck around the parking lot and stuff.
- 2:20:18So they would do that and then eventually they let them move
- 2:20:21the road course. And then everything, you know
- 2:20:24its history, Everything grows from there and then it doesn't
- 2:20:26help that. Not Chris nap.
- 2:20:29Oh yeah. Now Chris snap the son of one of
- 2:20:33the owners of the track. Yeah, I don't know if they if I
- 2:20:36feel like he's got a remote Cottage, he has a huge influence
- 2:20:39in this. You want to talk about a Vibe
- 2:20:41and for the betterment, he He saw an opportunity as somebody
- 2:20:46with a track with it, with the, with a tool for others to get
- 2:20:49better. And he was like, you know what,
- 2:20:51let me just make this so that anybody can access it.
- 2:20:53Yeah, made a school for that. Yes.
- 2:20:56And just because it's called a school that doesn't mean like oh
- 2:20:59you know we're going to have to take lessons here if you go
- 2:21:02there and you want to learn for yourself, Darrell went there and
- 2:21:05he learned what he had two hours to himself.
- 2:21:08He came back the next day you are.
- 2:21:09No, actually always calls me like a brother.
- 2:21:13Let me tell you what I did today and I'll sit there and I'll
- 2:21:16listen because it's like he taught himself some shit, he
- 2:21:20taught himself some shit like Chris didn't tell him but if you
- 2:21:23want help Chris will be there and Chris grew up basically with
- 2:21:27Club lose. You know right there and I
- 2:21:29express his own body. I think that you guys if you
- 2:21:31haven't already, if it's something that's interesting
- 2:21:34maybe you guys can work something there.
- 2:21:36You want to do something over there.
- 2:21:37Yeah I would be amazed that this.
- 2:21:40It's the thing is is it's a little different.
- 2:21:44I'm curious to see, California Vibe is I will say is different.
- 2:21:50We're how you feeling shy? How do you feel about that
- 2:21:53differentness in the Vaught? Okay, the difference is is like
- 2:21:56transparent. How do you feel about that?
- 2:21:58I'm going to be real clear about it right here when I'm here and
- 2:22:02I'm talking to somebody they're not trying to be better than me
- 2:22:07like and that and I'm saying that in like the most respectful
- 2:22:10way possible for some reason on the East Coast.
- 2:22:13Mmm, and up for some reason on the East Coast, you want to be
- 2:22:16tougher than the other person for some fucking reason they can
- 2:22:19keep that and and it's not so that you can fight with that
- 2:22:23person in my opinion. It's so that when you're going
- 2:22:27there and you're on the line with that other person, or
- 2:22:29whatever have you or, or you come back to the next track day,
- 2:22:32and you see that person change something because they saw
- 2:22:35weakness that they had in the last event.
- 2:22:36Yeah, that's the shit that I feel like everybody just sees it
- 2:22:39in each other and they're like, you know what?
- 2:22:42I'm coming back and Going to see me back here.
- 2:22:44Yeah. And and here it's just like I
- 2:22:49don't know if it fits that California lack stereotype where
- 2:22:53we where it's like, yeah, right? You could whatever dude, like
- 2:22:57I'm gonna keep doing what I want, I feel like I believe in,
- 2:23:00I kind of get what you're saying, but I also kind of.
- 2:23:02Don't agree. Completely really?
- 2:23:04Are you sure? It was you.
- 2:23:05Yeah. But I get what he's saying.
- 2:23:07I think in general like okay because obviously when you come
- 2:23:12when you I was gonna say when you don't, when you come at from
- 2:23:15New York City, to go anywhere, it's different.
- 2:23:17But people are usually nicer in general, like from our area.
- 2:23:22But I think that has a lot to do with big city areas.
- 2:23:25Not just yeah, I don't think it's just an East Coast thing.
- 2:23:28I think it's because if, you know, if you come from New York
- 2:23:31City and then you go to like, fucking the middle, Chicago,
- 2:23:33people are still going to be high-strung.
- 2:23:35Yeah. You know, assholes, but when you
- 2:23:37leave the city areas it, so it were always shocked.
- 2:23:39We're like, whoa, everyone's like nice.
- 2:23:41Yeah, like when somebody asks you like like Hey, how are you?
- 2:23:45And the first thing for me, that's like, what the fuck is
- 2:23:48this guy want? Yeah.
- 2:23:50Like like, it's a different environment.
- 2:23:52So I get, I get that part. We were in the middle of a
- 2:23:55desert today, dude. But that being said, like, it
- 2:24:02made as far as the drifting aspects.
- 2:24:04Yeah, I think people are pretty fine.
- 2:24:06Yeah, no one. No one's out to get anyone
- 2:24:09because now I'm telling you there's two different groups of
- 2:24:11people time. It's like people who Want to
- 2:24:13make this thing bigger or people who are keeping this just for
- 2:24:17themselves, right? So here's the points.
- 2:24:19Check it out, right? I've had my fun with drifting.
- 2:24:22Yeah. It sounds like you have a lot
- 2:24:25but I still do it. Yeah, a little bit, but my
- 2:24:27little man is coming up in this world.
- 2:24:29Okay. Yeah.
- 2:24:30Yeah house. He's seen and I wanted to be
- 2:24:34very clear that it's about fun. Yeah, I wanted to be very clear
- 2:24:40that this is a talent and I wanted to be very clear.
- 2:24:43That is not till it's not, not like bravado but it's more.
- 2:24:51Like you know, everybody that's around.
- 2:24:53You think about it, right? Yeah.
- 2:24:56Yeah. So we okay.
- 2:24:58So we got houses in mortgage. You know how much it costs to
- 2:25:01live in California? Let's say the Bay Area.
- 2:25:03The Bay Area is very weird crying.
- 2:25:04I don't know any, it's a lot. You have to make it at least for
- 2:25:08a three-bedroom. Yeah yeah it's a lot so now
- 2:25:13imagine Imagine owning a home and owning extracurricular
- 2:25:16Vehicles. Yeah.
- 2:25:19When Vehicles alone, multiple Vehicles, nowadays is a luxury
- 2:25:23hicho effort for 300 every year. So yeah, the smart thing we
- 2:25:30found out about, I'm like dude. So so now imagine you go to a
- 2:25:34place that everybody is enjoying their self.
- 2:25:38Yeah the vehicle. That has modifications on it and
- 2:25:42everything kind of makes more sense.
- 2:25:44I'm like, I'm there I get what you're saying, mr.
- 2:25:45My shit. There everyone is stressing
- 2:25:47about all this right here, but now, you go there and you have
- 2:25:49fun. Everybody here is having a good
- 2:25:52fucking time. Yeah, please keep that Vibe.
- 2:25:56And yeah, well, I'm going to tell you that.
- 2:25:58I think that you're doing a fantastic job because because
- 2:26:02because For example, right here, biggest example, you mentioned
- 2:26:07earlier the way that your son was operating in a set o or your
- 2:26:10sim. I don't know if it's a set or
- 2:26:12not, it is it's settling. Yeah, but the way he's operating
- 2:26:15and it, right, you said he's sitting there repetitively.
- 2:26:18You don't know if his intent you see it and he's maybe he's just
- 2:26:22doing it again and again for his own enjoyment.
- 2:26:25To me went from the outside looking in, after hearing the
- 2:26:28stories that you've had in the past and how you attack those
- 2:26:30problems. Mmm, that is your son.
- 2:26:34As the way that he's attacking that he's like I'm gonna figure
- 2:26:37this stuff out. He's figuring shit out.
- 2:26:39So my wife has been sitting watching this aimless creature
- 2:26:43for 26 years, right? Screeches like yo you are
- 2:26:48obsessive on shit until you get very proficient in it.
- 2:26:55Mmm. And then when you get really
- 2:26:56proficient in it, you act like it's nothing.
- 2:27:00And I'm like I don't think of it that way it just became normal
- 2:27:05the norm. Yeah, so when I was learning how
- 2:27:10to drift, I lost a six-figure job because my availability was
- 2:27:19iffy. Mmm.
- 2:27:21Because I had I, when I was first learning how to drift,
- 2:27:26how, I learn how to drift so fast, because I did over 28
- 2:27:29events in one year, Snoring the back.
- 2:27:34I've been trying to I've been trying to make it work.
- 2:27:36Yeah yeah. So I did over 28 events in the
- 2:27:40year right on the East Coast. That's unheard of because you
- 2:27:44don't you have seasons row. Yeah it's so that's what I'm
- 2:27:47saying about California. We're always under Sun.
- 2:27:49Yeah, and when it does rain, it may be rain in the morning or
- 2:27:52maybe rain in the evening. We have an opportunity to go to
- 2:27:55work. So I drove as much as I could, I
- 2:27:58was obsessed with it and once I got something, Locked in and I
- 2:28:03said, okay, cool, I didn't stop driving.
- 2:28:06I started to go to different places to experience different
- 2:28:09types of it, right? So then she's like, oh, do you
- 2:28:12understand? I had the type of shit that you
- 2:28:15do. I'm like, yeah, because I watch
- 2:28:19higher tier and I watch my peers, mmm, I watch people that
- 2:28:24drive it, a different style in Europe.
- 2:28:26I watched so much shit so I've never looked at me and be like,
- 2:28:30oh, you do this? Yeah.
- 2:28:32Yeah, I just look at the highest of.
- 2:28:35There we go. That's where I need to be.
- 2:28:36Yeah, so with the motorcycle shit, I always stayed on 600's.
- 2:28:42Then I ventured out went to one thousands and I'm trying to go
- 2:28:46faster, trying to learn. Try not to kill myself when I'm
- 2:28:49on the track is these things have a lot of power.
- 2:28:52One of my homies say, yo you'd be faster if you got a 300 Win
- 2:28:57to cart tracks, Is it really? So, yeah, I went and bought a
- 2:29:01300 and I went to car tracks. My riding went.
- 2:29:08Ten times mmm, because the speed might be lower, but on those
- 2:29:12cart tracks to turn to coming so much faster different.
- 2:29:15It's super different. Yeah, so now I'm when I jump on
- 2:29:18my leader bike, I'm like, whoa, this is a lot of power in this
- 2:29:21heavy, but I got it. Yeah.
- 2:29:23So no, my wife is like, yo, you're doing it again.
- 2:29:26I'm like, what am I doing? She's like, you're obsessing
- 2:29:29over the coming, talented and you're acting like.
- 2:29:33This shit is just Rich, normal everyday things.
- 2:29:37And I'm like, I don't get what you're saying so when she's
- 2:29:40looking at my son today, she's like That's you she's like he's
- 2:29:47doing what you're doing. Hmm.
- 2:29:49And he's not excited about it. He's excited about it but he's
- 2:29:52not like jumping for joy through the moon.
- 2:29:55It's like when I gave him free rein in the car, it's yours to
- 2:30:01do with but please don't wreck it cause you're gonna make me
- 2:30:04have to work. Yeah.
- 2:30:05So if every time I look around at car gone and he's out on
- 2:30:08track, I'm like my boy. Yeah.
- 2:30:10And I think again like The way that you were utilizing your own
- 2:30:15resources. He's doing the same shit.
- 2:30:18Yeah, it's just now as a resources, are Sim rigs.
- 2:30:22Yes. And asking the people who have
- 2:30:24been already on it. Yeah, I guarantee you your son
- 2:30:28was in the pits. Yeah, he's mangling but he's
- 2:30:30getting information. He is so conditions
- 2:30:33conversations. He's talking about, oh, I came
- 2:30:36in turn to and did this and and what did you do there?
- 2:30:40So check this funny shit out, right?

- 2:30:46sitting right but him, it's regular.
- 2:30:48Yeah, so they obsess over animal styling.

- 2:31:11when he does it mean, when I watch him drive and his hands
- 2:31:14are fast. Shit.

- 2:31:18and you're chucking the fuck out of the car?
- 2:31:21Yeah, you learned how to use back rear end traction.
- 2:31:25Then you learn how to do this and learn new that when he came.
- 2:31:27So me today, he said that. So man, I was going into the
- 2:31:31corner and I throw the transition as hard as I could.
- 2:31:35And then I lightly touch the front brake to hold the car
- 2:31:37there. And then when I got to where I
- 2:31:39wanted to be there like us kicking see little motherfucker
- 2:31:42like you know, how long it took me to even learn that?

- 2:34:40serum and try it. See what it did.
- 2:34:44Well, The thing is, it's just like I okay, we have a lot of
- 2:34:49young people who listen to this, okay?
- 2:34:51If And and I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna say, we're going to kind
- 2:34:56of close this one out because I want to end this on a message.
- 2:34:59I always try to if you had the opportunity and this is the
- 2:35:05opportunity to tell those young listeners because some of them
- 2:35:09don't have somebody to tell them that or to learn things like
- 2:35:13that. This is that this is their go.
- 2:35:16Maybe their opportunity to have a legacy their own.
- 2:35:19Hmm. What would you tell that kid,
- 2:35:22who Enough to you like hey man what do I what do I need to do?
- 2:35:25What do I need to look for some answers?
- 2:35:28We've gotten in the past is like just go out there and do it now
- 2:35:32for hot. It is right now, right is
- 2:35:36survival. Comes first.
- 2:35:38Mmm. Home comes first, right?
- 2:35:42Education comes first. Yeah, understanding your path in
- 2:35:46life comes first because getting into drifting, right?
- 2:35:51That she was costly. Yeah, you know, Cost you
- 2:35:53everything. Yeah, I will.
- 2:35:55But I want you. I lost a six-figure fucking job.
- 2:35:58Yeah, she cost me everything. Yeah, it's a part izing comes
- 2:36:03first, right? So, the one of the biggest
- 2:36:07things is right, is is you gotta get your life in order you to
- 2:36:09understand what you want to do as an adult.
- 2:36:12Yeah, I'm saying especially if you don't have any backing, you
- 2:36:17sponsor back in you, she like that.
- 2:36:18But even if you even if you did have that shit right?
- 2:36:21Yeah, understand right. Where You're going in life,
- 2:36:24right? And where you want to be, how
- 2:36:25you're going to get there, right?
- 2:36:27But the same time, right? Is, where's the money coming
- 2:36:29from? Because in this sport, it's
- 2:36:32money. Hmm.
- 2:36:34It's always money in this hobby. It's money.
- 2:36:37That's all that's always. This is money.
- 2:36:38I spent $800 on tires, right? I'm sure it's just gone, right?
- 2:36:43So so so so so you have to be able to sustain that, you know,
- 2:36:49James I drove, this is my first time driving in seven months,
- 2:36:54right? Because I can't sustain spending
- 2:36:56that kind of money, right? Yeah.
- 2:36:58Every month right to drive, right?
- 2:37:02So when I do drive, right? Like it's a party, it's a
- 2:37:06celebration. It's stress-relieving right?
- 2:37:09Yeah, fun time. So I would say this, right?

- 2:37:15your path is, right? I understand what you want to do
- 2:37:17for a living. I understand where, you know,

- 2:38:23college and how now it nowadays, A lot of people are realizing
- 2:38:29cause it's different. It's not for everybody and
- 2:38:33there's different paths and that's okay.

- 2:39:13hate working. Party have fun.
- 2:39:17That's what I want to do, right? But I understand that.

- 2:46:15people who are listening to this, there's not one thing that
- 2:46:17they can't couldn't have just taken away from this like
- 2:46:20there's too many the there's so many things that you were able
- 2:46:23to listen to it throughout this entire podcast where it can help
- 2:46:26somebody. You know, you never know how
- 2:46:28it's going to help somebody but Will most importantly, I'm glad
- 2:46:31you guys describes, the name of the event where it came from.
- 2:46:35That was a big thing for me, because I want to, I want to be
- 2:46:38wanted to share that. Yeah, we want people to know
- 2:46:40that. Yeah.
- 2:46:41It's and it's, it's it's something that like, you know,
- 2:46:47as we spoke on some nastiness came out of and it's like, damn.
- 2:46:51Yeah. Like the negative aspect.
- 2:46:52Yes, because it's not that. Yeah, I really wanted to make
- 2:46:56sure I asked what the it like how you guys handle the issue.
- 2:47:00Yeah. Hey because let me tell you,
- 2:47:02man, we have the issues is ignoring me.
- 2:47:04Yes. Yeah that's that's because guess
- 2:47:07what? Buddy they're going to be.
- 2:47:09That's not going to stop people. Understand how what we are.
- 2:47:17Guess what? You feel.
- 2:47:19That way about it. Yeah.
- 2:47:20When I say what you said about us and that's not well you
- 2:47:24that's yeah. That's that's your problem.
- 2:47:26Not mine. That's exactly why we say.
- 2:47:28I don't care how you feel. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:47:30It's directly affect, unless you are directly, you know,
- 2:47:33physically harming me something. That's not my problem.
- 2:47:35That's not yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- 2:47:37And I'm telling you, plain people.
- 2:47:40Plenty of people, it's about the name, like, you're drifting like
- 2:47:45that's racist, right? Yeah.
- 2:47:47And then and then you sit back and you make you wonder right?
- 2:47:50Like do they understand what racism is?
- 2:47:52How out of touch? Are they right?
- 2:47:54Right. That shows how touch you are.
- 2:47:57How to touch you are right? Yeah.
- 2:47:59Well I think Thinking just a name can correlate to racism.
- 2:48:04Yeah, yeah. I'm saying that kind of shows a
- 2:48:09problem within yourself. Yeah.
- 2:48:11It was saying that's that's, that's where.
- 2:48:13That's where it really is. It's a lot of times, right?
- 2:48:16That's a point in time where you just have to ignore that shit.
- 2:48:18Yeah, it's a lot of the ways like and as I mentioned earlier,
- 2:48:22I oppai approach, I tend to approach things with a pretty
- 2:48:24open mind. Yeah.
- 2:48:26And I've just as I approach this event with an open mind.
- 2:48:28I wasn't I And there's two. There's always multiple ways.
- 2:48:32Somebody can interpret something.
- 2:48:33Yeah, fortunately enough for me, the way that I decided to
- 2:48:36interpret it was. I want to know more.
- 2:48:39Yeah, because I feel like there's something there.
- 2:48:42Yeah. That I want to be a part of and
- 2:48:44I want to experience so that I can tell other people do.
- 2:48:49Yeah, it isn't like that. Yeah.
- 2:48:51Because I will tell you it has grain gain traction to the point
- 2:48:55where it gets brought up at places that hey have you heard

- 2:50:14who I am right now. And what I get to experience in
- 2:50:17my day-to-day in this automotive industry that we're in.

- 3:01:32it, register for it and make sure you get your ass here,
- 3:01:36Kaminsky. Lot of folks nowadays.

- 3:01:41So for registration, open for months in advance, right?
- 3:01:43Be the first motherfucker. Get your ticket, not so much.
- 3:01:45How much I'm sure it is, if they register and they can't come,
- 3:01:48they don't tell you and then, right?
- 3:01:50But even if they can't come in and tell you, oh, well, right.
- 3:01:53But but but for me, it's more like, you register it, right?
- 3:01:57And you worked your ass off, trying to get there whether you
- 3:02:00got there or not, you the commitment, right?
- 3:02:03The dedication. That takes two.

- 3:02:10Damn. Well, you're not ready for that
- 3:02:11shit. Yeah, yeah.
- 3:02:13Yeah, I'm saying. But, you know, the reason why
- 3:02:15you're doing it, you give them a chance.
- 3:02:17Mmm. So so, so, so that's another big
- 3:02:20picture right there. Just everyone that gets involved
- 3:02:23with anything, right? Commitment dedication, stick to
- 3:02:26it, right? And everything will prevail in
- 3:02:28the end. I'm saying if in it and if it

- 3:03:16Mmm. Yeah, it's not making money,
