- 1:35jersey. Charlotte, North Carolina.
- 1:40Yep. How is it down there?
- 1:42It's pretty good. Yeah.
- 1:44Okay. One more easy, going to New
- 1:47Jersey. Well, for those of you who don't
- 1:49know, Scott, you got it. Is there any picture of you on
- 1:53you? I don't think Scott's on with
- 1:54these has no right. So coming out of my are be 20,
- 2:02it's not actually Tire smoke. Yeah.
- 2:04All those that head gasket. Yeah.
- 2:06All the smoke in that photo is oil, but that shit looks sick.
- 2:12Yeah. Like so that's fun about to
- 2:14that's that's I've personally never met Scott.
- 2:18Yeah, today was your first day, today is my first day.
- 2:21I feel like we're boys now right after.
- 2:22I think we're pretty, we're pretty cool with each other now
- 2:24hung out for an hour. Yeah, about an hour.
- 2:26You didn't never met Carl before.
- 2:29Don't think so. I feel like I don't know why.
- 2:31I always feel like you and Chris just know, everyone know, but
- 2:35absolutely not actually the opposite.
- 2:37We go to Club loosen. Like guys, say hi to everywhere,
- 2:40like, right? You've been here for longer than
- 2:42you have. How do you guys know?
- 2:43I don't know all these shadowy guy like me, just comes out kind
- 2:48of Shadows pops out every now, but everything.
- 2:51But in this case, Ethan, everything you say.
- 2:54Whenever you do say something pretty pretty pretty worth
- 2:57hearing, you know what I'm saying?
- 2:58Like, Good content, smart guy. I have a feeling Scott's
- 3:02probably going to be the same, but today's episode is actually
- 3:05about something that everybody's been asking, which is what the
- 3:08origin of faction. Motorsports is faction drift
- 3:11club and stuff like that. So today we're going to go into
- 3:13that history. We have no idea how this is
- 3:16gonna go. There's a lot of people in here.
- 3:17So just expect some, just expect it, you know, something
- 3:22something this is going to be a good one for you guys.
- 3:24So I might be a little crazy if you're listening to this at
- 3:26work, lower the volume a little bit and make sure you got
- 3:28headphones on something because I'm not, we're not going to be
- 3:30responsible for that. Absolutely.
- 3:31Not you mark down with time. We started.
- 3:33No do that. They could General thing because
- 3:37yeah. All right.
- 3:39Well, I guess we should like, actually explain instead of just
- 3:42hanging out here and talk and yeah, no, no.
- 3:43I'm my my thing is, is okay. There's a lot of you, right?
- 3:47I kind of want to know like how this happened.
- 3:49How did this snowball into it? Who met?
- 3:50Who first? And kind of where did that?
- 3:53Well, me and Wags went to school together.
- 3:56So we knew each other. And I heat.
- 4:01The thing is Wags. Probably knew about drifting
- 4:03before. Any of us, right strategy?
- 4:07Yeah, yeah. It was you and Dan Sharif pretty
- 4:10much. I feel like you guys knew what
- 4:12drifting was like when he was like that's so funny.
- 4:16Yeah, so he knew it was and shit but I didn't start, I didn't get
- 4:22a drifting until maybe 19 or 20 so I was after high school and
- 4:27then you know, I don't know what came first.
- 4:31I did. Mike, Miyagi.
- 4:32Do you know? You weren't even around.
- 4:34So, how do you? I thought you and Miyagi went to
- 4:36school. Yeah, we.
- 4:37Yeah, we did. We did we did.
- 4:39When did you get the RX-8? You know a year 2012, maybe
- 4:47maybe I don't know those are we don't know yet Miyagi had an
- 4:50RX-8 like a red. All right.
- 4:52Yeah, that was the car yet. So my first I mean people who
- 4:55listen to his podcast. No, I had it as 14, but I got
- 4:57that as 14 and like 2020, I mean, 2010.
- 5:04Wait. What am I saying?
- 5:05Yeah. 10 right. Jesus Christ.
- 5:07That's old. Holy shit.
- 5:09You're like 80. All right, so I guess n and a
- 5:15It's basically Eric, Eric light, Hauser was friends with
- 5:19Allison's all do and Alex is although we dating Jeff Marlo?
- 5:23That's how this happened. So, my friend Eric goes, hey,
- 5:26these kids are going out drifting.
- 5:30I'm going to say Ikea but it's not the Ikea, some people think,
- 5:33if you guys know, you know, if not then whatever, I'm sure New
- 5:36York City, people or Jersey. People will know about it, the
- 5:39old spot and I was like, yeah, sure.
- 5:41Let's go. So we went, who's there?
- 5:46I know is me light? That was probably I know.
- 5:50Dave, and Jay was there. It was Dave and J.
- 5:52This was like it was Dave and Jay Jeff Marlo dust out.
- 5:57Dustin was definitely there. Yeah.
- 6:01And they were they had a group they call himself slide slide
- 6:03attack. All right damn that's a kind of
- 6:05fattening I know this is a good name.
- 6:07Yo so that was like where it started.
- 6:10And we went out there to just hang out and Jeff took me for a
- 6:15ride along and I was like, holy shih.
- 6:17We were just fucking going 40 miles an hour towards the fence
- 6:20and I was like, I don't even know this dude, like, and I'm
- 6:23just in passenger. See like, yep.
- 6:25And we're just fucking going right down this like well, like
- 6:28side like They call it like service entrance things.
- 6:32And I'm just like, I'm dead. This is it?
- 6:34And he just fucking starts drifting it.
- 6:35And that was it. I was hooked that was like, that
- 6:37was just the first turn and that was all it took.
- 6:39And then I think either I bought it.
- 6:41I think I bought a car right before that or right after that.
- 6:45And that's how I got into drifting now.
- 6:50How did everyone else? Well, I met you through.
- 6:52Justin. Yeah.
- 6:53So okay, so Justin white smoke was in faction so he that's
- 6:59That's the coop. Yeah, he was in slight attack
- 7:02too so I can't get over that name.
- 7:04That's kind of, that's a, that's a cool as name.
- 7:06Yeah, that's I was just attacked for like one month before it all
- 7:09fell apart, but so he they were all in that group together.
- 7:13We saw them drift Club loose, it wasn't even called lose.
- 7:17It was like a Some kind of Hot. Import nice.
- 7:22We're late. Yeah, it was a Hot Import
- 7:24Nights. I think, and they were doing
- 7:24like a drift demo at Englishtown and they had the whole tracks
- 7:27themselves or some shit, so they were having a blast but like
- 7:31that's when I met I think that's really when I met like, that's
- 7:34when I really met Dustin and like, Justin and Dave, because
- 7:38the first night we went to go see them.
- 7:40They didn't know who the fuck I was learning things.
- 7:42Like they were just like, oh, how could they know they're in
- 7:43the presence of a celebrity? That's kind of, no.
- 7:45But I'm saying like, they're, they're drifting, they don't
- 7:47have these. Strangers are like, they're just
- 7:49Adrift. So then we kind of met them that
- 7:52day and now had to be like 2010, I'm going to say it was 9 or 10
- 7:58that most of this is happening. So I meet Justin and then Justin
- 8:05contacts me. Maybe a few months later he's
- 8:07like, hey, they're hiring at my job at Nissan.
- 8:10Do you want to work here? I go?
- 8:11Yeah, sure. So I didn't really know him that
- 8:14well, but he was like, oh yeah, I know you were looking for a
- 8:17mechanic's job or something. So I go work with him we become
- 8:21close that had to be like 2011 or 12.
- 8:26Yeah, so the timelines, a little fucked up but stuck around there
- 8:29for a minute. Yeah.
- 8:31Like there's a fly in here and it's fucking drive me on my
- 8:34mind. Got you know, why did you have
- 8:38to ask about why you have to ask got to do it because I can't do
- 8:40it. I've been trying to fucking, oh,
- 8:45I'm trying to remember, everything is so fuzzy, but
- 8:49That's how you met Justin. Well, what year do you think you
- 8:51came into all this? It's at 13.
- 8:55Maybe 20-30, I'm like pretty good at years, but I'm just like
- 8:59a year or two off of everything. Yeah, he's got to shut the
- 9:02compressor off. Yeah, this is a running and
- 9:04working shop. We forget, sometimes that.
- 9:07Give me a second here. Alright, so I met Justin and my
- 9:11car is like pretty much. My S14 has to be running at this
- 9:15point, or in the midst of becoming running.
- 9:18So I know I did a club, loose Night, Moves event with them.
- 9:23I did, I went with Justin to a couple of events at Englishtown
- 9:26that was fun night moves. As Night Moves was awesome.
- 9:29That was a I think I might have gone to One night moves event to
- 9:33watch. Yeah, that was cool.
- 9:35Dude, those days were some I don't know.
- 9:38It's like that's that's the pre Instagram days that we keep
- 9:40talking about where it was like I just it doesn't feel the same.
- 9:44Now I feel like I'm even doing this podcast.
- 9:46It's like I mean obviously like shit shit evolves and like we're
- 9:51doing this shit for a living now.
- 9:53So we kind of like need a market and stuff but like back then it
- 9:55was like there wasn't any cameras or fucking anything so
- 9:58it was just hanging out. I mean I feel like the cool
- 10:00thing about all of us Right here is like we I feel like we all
- 10:03just kind of do that. Yeah.
- 10:05Still like we all find enjoyment in June but I feel like it's
- 10:08like I don't mind hanging out with you sometimes.
- 10:09It's not the same. Yeah it's not the same it's just
- 10:12something about it and I'm a fucking You know, I'm one of
- 10:16them part of the problem because every time something cool
- 10:17sounding like I got film because I gotta fucking put on
- 10:19Instagram, because I got it. Yeah.
- 10:20So it's like I think I'm still stuck in.
- 10:23No, it's good. I think I'm still stuck in the
- 10:25old world. I don't really put much up very
- 10:27often if I didn't have this. I probably wouldn't either kept
- 10:30quiet. Yeah, so You know, dripped in a
- 10:35club lose whatever. It's it's I mean, I guess this
- 10:39is, this is the phase where we're like, kinda with slide
- 10:45attack in a way. I do.
- 10:46I'm not like an official member actually.
- 10:48I think I wasn't Dave, and Jay was a, your Onslaught attack or
- 10:50something because he was trying to like, really keep it going,
- 10:52but it was like dwindling down and then all of a sudden, that
- 10:57shit ended. Someone probably had beef with
- 11:01somewhere. So I don't fucking remember.
- 11:02We're not going to go in and buy that.
- 11:04Aspect of most of these things, we're going to get a broad
- 11:06overview because we're not trying to step on nobody's toes.
- 11:08But at the same time that this is happening, AJ was really
- 11:13close of wax because you guys knew each other.
- 11:15Since you were kids, right? We have short houses next to
- 11:19each other and he was probably like my first friend ever.
- 11:24Oh, so that's, yeah, that's how you measure, Oracle.
- 11:26Okay. I showed me like, skateboarding
- 11:29and stuff. Before drifting.
- 11:31Okay, you're a skater kid. We all were probably I'm the
- 11:35best at skateboarding. Yeah.
- 11:38Yes. Scott was the only one who's
- 11:39good but yeah, but yeah, we could Ali.
- 11:42Which one of you, which one of you can kick flip?
- 11:45I did one wax Christ. Damn shame.
- 11:50All right. So Wags had a Miata.
- 11:54So, wives had a Miata when he do.
- 11:55You have in high school right after?
- 11:58Can you see him at all? Yeah, a little bit.
- 12:00Okay, I kind of senior year, high school has me out of still
- 12:04has it? Do you really?
- 12:06Yes, pretty cool. So it's gettin.
- 12:08So he had the Miata but he was in the like you know what, we
- 12:11all were into was like Rip driving, not drifting at the
- 12:14time because you were a Subaru guy, he's got a weird autocross.
- 12:18Yeah, like that shit. I thought drifting was like
- 12:20unattainable because I thought it was more expensive.
- 12:22Yeah, yeah. And realized, and I wasn't even
- 12:25like thinking about that when that was going on.
- 12:27So, I did you get in a drifting like the same same time as I did
- 12:34but we just didn't really. Like I was like a fanboy of it
- 12:37since fifth grade. Yeah, 2000.
- 12:39When did you start drifting your Miata after you?
- 12:42Well, I mean kind of the same time.
- 12:46Yeah, I'll go. So now you have a we have a
- 12:48connection between well, an AJ gets a 240, that's what happens
- 12:52next. So AJ gets a 240 or you.
- 12:55So you were the first, I know you were I was the first out of
- 12:58this group. But we're talking about her.
- 13:01Scott has not entered the chat. Yeah.
- 13:02Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
- 13:04I couldn't even drive honey. When I got my 240 idle, learn
- 13:07how to drive it. Yeah.
- 13:09What do you mean? Like, you didn't know how to
- 13:11drive in general? I didn't know how to drive stick
- 13:13that's card specifically because I wanted to drift even though I
- 13:16didn't know how to drive stick like dedicated.
- 13:21That's why I went with Kevin to get this car and he did all the
- 13:25driving was like this thing's sick, you should definitely buy
- 13:27this. I bought it and How much was it?
- 13:30Can we yeah. Do you remember the $400?
- 13:33Okay, that's our swap. Yeah.
- 13:35As far as did it didn't need like anything.
- 13:38It was it was a dawn car. Yeah you got to have a welded
- 13:41div here but that was like about it had coilovers already.
- 13:44All right. But the good thing is a gel also
- 13:45gave the guy, a tip for the car, being extra, nice and driving it
- 13:48to his house for a little more expensive.
- 13:56I totally forgot. I did that AJ always Tips,
- 14:00everyone. He did.
- 14:01He's a good guy. Well with my cousins and a
- 14:02tattoo or like, yeah, you can't be a douche with tipping.
- 14:05Yeah. Ages ages, big guy.
- 14:08All right, so saving the world. So I remember AJ and Wags coming
- 14:12to my house because if there's a photo of it where his car is
- 14:15outside. So I think that was I don't know
- 14:17if that's when I met you but that's when I kind of.
- 14:19Yeah. That's like the first time was
- 14:21just going to Frankie's house before knowing him and we were
- 14:23going to like put his engine in his car and I was like, this is
- 14:26crazy. What are we doing?
- 14:30Because AJ you, you're an elevator mechanic, right?
- 14:33Is that the correct term for what's that?
- 14:34I'm still an apprentice. But okay, yeah.
- 14:37So you weren't like to car Savvy when you got that shit.
- 14:40I'm still not. Yeah so he's a man that is so
- 14:44he's watching like what the hell are these people doing right
- 14:47now? And then I remember Ben wasn't I
- 14:50like oh you want to drift? All right, we got to take your
- 14:52fenders off. We gotta talk to harness.
- 14:54We gotta oh wait you're talking about the little.
- 14:56Yeah though the wiring harness to get the new car.
- 14:59We just start Ripping fenders off.
- 15:01The first thing we do with this car I've never touched a car.
- 15:05Every tells me all right, just take off your fenders.
- 15:07Every single bolt that I try to take off these fenders snapped I
- 15:12was like all right so this is what it's like now.
- 15:14This is terrible. Yeah two for these are cool
- 15:18until you take a wrench to one of them.
- 15:19Yeah so they had so that was all happening around 2012 and then
- 15:25the other thing that was happening was Miyagi was friends
- 15:30with my childhood friend. Dave, I mean we were friends we
- 15:34didn't really? Yeah, we didn't talk.
- 15:35Yeah. So I was like this is annoying.
- 15:38Every time I hang out with him all he does ask me for so many
- 15:40questions. Also intrigued about the go like
- 15:42what about this world? And I don't mean I don't really
- 15:44like asking. Yes, I do anything, dude.
- 15:46You have to understand something.
- 15:47I don't mean like once in a while.
- 15:49Yo what do you think about this? I mean every sentence was a
- 15:53question about you about what I bought.
- 15:55I don't even know what what I bought my This is like the and
- 15:58I'm like, this, how little I knew about cars was when I
- 16:01bought my RX-8, I didn't know what a rotary was.
- 16:05I didn't know how to drive stick.
- 16:06I just saw what's with this. I just saw the paint job at a
- 16:09drive. I just saw this sun.
- 16:10Hit the picked up all that I want that car is but that right
- 16:14there that was some nice paint sign up.
- 16:16Yeah that's that Mazda the rest the owner that's only reason I
- 16:23was like No. And I'm like no. 30 second
- 16:29explanation of what you thought of the RX-8, give me a 30 there,
- 16:34are 30 seconds, 30 seconds, it sounded sick.
- 16:36It sounded say yeah that tells me that everything else probably
- 16:39like drifting it. Let me remember when you let me
- 16:42try to slide it in a parking lot that one day.
- 16:45Oh I got an idea. Okay, wait, so wait, I forgot
- 16:56what did you forget? Frank.
- 16:57Hurricane, Sandy hits in -14, gets destroyed and then I buy a
- 17:00hatch and that is 2012, and that's the hatch.
- 17:03You have now? Yes.
- 17:04Oh this so, me meeting, AJ was actually 13.
- 17:07Yes, 2013. Okay.
- 17:09And for those of you who don't know about that, that that
- 17:11flooded S14 stories. I'm one of the prior episodes.
- 17:13I have no idea which one but you should be watching all of them
- 17:16anyway. So fuck you.
- 17:17Yeah. So, that happens.
- 17:18Miyagi gets an RX-8 and now, Miyagi doesn't want to ever hang
- 17:22out with anyone else. He just want to hang out with me

- 18:23everything. Need this.
- 18:24You need that cat out? Tension Motorsports?
- 18:27Yeah, I mean that was that's kind of the same thing though,
- 18:30at the same time. Well, That was like me and Jeff
- 18:34trying to start a company was tension.
- 18:36Motorsports. And then, you know, Jeff had
- 18:40ideas that he wanted to do and I didn't have the same idea so we
- 18:43split off and then that was when faction Motorsports became a
- 18:46thing. So, the name didn't exist right
- 18:48now, why not talking about this. Where, when we're not there yet.
- 18:51Wait, yeah, Wendy him. Bringing that up is kind of our.
- 18:55We are we out of, wait, wait, we're not worrying because
- 18:58because now so there's three. There's this three going on.
- 19:02You Wags and AJ, and Justin, and Justin.
- 19:05Well, now that Justin's now you got me again.
- 19:08Yeah, so slight attack is kind of dead now and now all these
- 19:12people are showing up. So, now, we're like, are we have
- 19:14a girl? All these people, some of your
- 19:15closest friends, these people, all these guys, we didn't, by
- 19:20the way, we didn't talk about Ethan, but Ethan's been involved
- 19:22in this. Yes.
- 19:23When did eat. When did this would probably be
- 19:28pre its actions the time. Yeah, this is like I use fried.
- 19:32Dustin and Justin. Yeah.
- 19:34So you are kind of drawn from Automotive school like when
- 19:39Justin had a blue Jetta with a hand mirror polished intake
- 19:43always has to bring the tent. Anyways, I had a 24.
- 19:50Yeah he had a G40, Justin Justin saw it.
- 19:53And Justin was like, yo that's sick.
- 19:55And Dustin was like you should probably get a 240 and then he I
- 20:00don't know. Did he sell the jet or not?
- 20:03Not only do you get him, you know, you don't but like tooth
- 20:08another 2008. I think another thing to mention
- 20:10he mentioned, he knew Dustin. So, Dustin was drifting, his
- 20:14350Z at that, time at Club, loose with Justin.
- 20:16And her there on, he's on slide, slide attack to Ethan.
- 20:19No, Ethan Don't Drift his car, but Dustin and Justin, who he
- 20:24met at school? We're on Slide Attack or in the
- 20:27process on YouTube. Oh, no, not again, or something
- 20:30like, you know, it's just You have Dustin drifting in the just
- 20:35like transition into the bank and then you just hear, I guess
- 20:38it was big, it was Jeff. Oh, Jeff, oh no, not again,
- 20:42straight nose out into the water.
- 20:45Um, so so Ethan was here. He says there, I remember having
- 20:49the conversation about even named a faction.
- 20:52Okay, well we'll get into that if you had a second because I
- 20:55feel like everyone questions that so now there's a connection
- 20:58here. How do you connect a Scott?
- 21:01Okay, so Scott live by Justin. Yeah, so I live I didn't know it
- 21:07at the time but like walking distance from Justin's house and
- 21:11somehow never met him. Yeah.
- 21:12But I had I bought my first manual car was a s13 sill front
- 21:21coupe with like a see. Everything.
- 21:25Like I didn't even know an Sr was a swap.
- 21:29This car was done so well, I think I bought it my tummy tuck.
- 21:33I thought it was stock. I bought it for like 3 Grand.
- 21:36I had no idea. It was even swap like daily,
- 21:40whatever didn't really know too much about drifting.
- 21:45But I in New Jersey, you know things get old my brake lines
- 21:50brushed it out. I lost Briggs rear-ended.
- 21:52Somebody wasn't that bad about that fuck but I don't know
- 21:57anything about cars at the time so like it.
- 22:00Broken intercooler coupler, and the thing wouldn't run and I had
- 22:03somebody of my mechanic. At that time I wasn't a
- 22:06mechanic. What year is this?
- 22:07This is probably 2008 may be okay.
- 22:10Definitely prior knowing any of you.
- 22:12But I'm still Have a 240? Yes close.
- 22:16Did you go to Automotive school? I didn't holy shit.
- 22:19Wow, you're really fucking good for not going on motives.
- 22:22Because when did you start why did eventually go to a lot?
- 22:25Oh, you did. Okay way later in life, okay?
- 22:29But anyway, so I A friend of mine had hatch.
- 22:33That was like, hey, I'll trade you this hatch.
- 22:36That has a GTR motor in it for your Coop and like I thought I
- 22:43fucked up my coop because you didn't run, right?
- 22:45Because I rear-ended it and they like broken intercooler cup or
- 22:48so, I traded it for this hatch, which ends up the be having an
- 22:51R&B 20. Not quite as easy our motor, but
- 22:54I didn't know any better. I didn't know about any of this
- 22:57shit but the car Outside my house everyday like the RV. 20
- 23:02hatch sat outside for like, ever.
- 23:04While I tried to like GTR motor GTR voter.
- 23:07Okay. Trying to get it running which I
- 23:09have no idea what I'm doing running it wasn't running fuck.
- 23:13It was a terrible. Terrible life decision.
- 23:17But all the time, Justin would drift the turn that I lived on
- 23:22in his Gore, okay? So you see him doing it and I
- 23:25see him doing it. And so, one day I happened to be
- 23:29in Like, whatever daily I had and I saw Justin and his 240 in
- 23:33front of me and I chased him down.
- 23:36Like he started trying to run away and we like pull up to a
- 23:39red light and I go on like the wrong side of the road blocking
- 23:43him off in front of him. I'm like yo I got that house
- 23:46with the crappy 240 out front that you drift past be friends.
- 23:51Holy shit. I did not know about that.
- 23:57And what year was that? I don't even know what you'd
- 24:01probably 13. 14 time. This whole thing's going.
- 24:05Yeah, about that same time as when I finally meet Justin.
- 24:08Yeah, I feel like, because when we met the only, I feel like I
- 24:12met you very shortly after I met Justin.
- 24:15Yeah, that's what I think so really quick.
- 24:17I was about to say, it sounds kind of inevitable that you two
- 24:21would meet. And then now that connected this
- 24:24meet me and Justin were like, I was at Justin's house like every
- 24:27fucking day, because we would me and Just working on our cars and
- 24:30like eating his food for free. Probably.
- 24:33Yeah, it sounds like that. Sounds like a good really going
- 24:35to Fuddruckers all the time. Damn, yeah, damn it turn into a
- 24:40gun range and I live like 10 minutes away from just.
- 24:43Yeah. So once I hear is the others
- 24:44lecture a lot of activity. Yeah.
- 24:46Within 20 minutes of each other. It's yeah, he's just so happens.
- 24:49AJ lives. 10 minutes away from Justin so so then we ended up
- 24:53all being adjustments out every day.
- 24:57Those were good times. Yeah.
- 24:59Yeah, for sure we so that's that's that's like the start of
- 25:02like a good like yeah friendship right.
- 25:05Justin was the mecan't, the best mechanic at all of us at the
- 25:08time. Right?
- 25:09Is that fair? Yeah.
- 25:10So this is when you are working at Nissan would.
- 25:11Yes, I know. Okay, so you got some mechanical
- 25:14experience. That was my first job.
- 25:15But yeah, okay, yeah you're doing all self-taught.
- 25:18I did not go to an automotive school which I probably should
- 25:20have not. I've never gone out of was all
- 25:23Darrell. My friends were telling me not
- 25:25to go. Yes.
- 25:26Like Ethan and Dustin and Justin, they're like, don't go.
- 25:29Yeah. Chris, who's not here, by the
- 25:31way? Yeah, he went to.
- 25:32He went Automotive school and he would basically, just relay the
- 25:36information to me. Anyway.
- 25:37Yeah, and and that's kind of had what Darrell's been doing.
- 25:40He's over there in the corner but like, that's what.
- 25:42Yeah, yeah. Macadam e Google Academy.
- 25:45Yeah. Back before YouTube, I'd say, if
- 25:48you know nothing about cars, Automotive, school is a good for
- 25:51sure. Starting point.
- 25:52But when you have worked on cars before that it, I mean, if
- 25:56you're lacking in certain areas, sure.
- 25:58But overall, All its kind of repetitive with the forums and
- 26:02Google and YouTube doing YouTube wasn't really that big.
- 26:05I mean, I've been I begged for a job when I was 13 at the local
- 26:09garage and work there and then going to Automotive school when
- 26:12I was 18 was just a bad idea. Yeah but I got 30,000.
- 26:16Also, you get what you put into it.
- 26:18So Justin was Justin definitely tried in school.
- 26:20I could tell and so did Dustin for sure, and I think you did,
- 26:23you, did you not do not give a fuck Ur because you came out
- 26:27pretty good too. You know, I think that was all.
- 26:30I think that was all from just working in a garage.
- 26:34Not at school. Yeah.
- 26:36But like duh Justin definitely excelled at electrical and
- 26:40wiring. Yeah, Dustin's really good at
- 26:42diagnosis and whatnot Diagnostics with electrical
- 26:46stuff. Yeah.
- 26:47So we just so happen to know like the three people that class
- 26:52that actually tried and then you got Miyagi who's like, you know
- 26:55what, man, I'm going to become a mechanic because I fuck with
- 26:58these cars. Now, so he goes to Lincoln Tech
- 27:02two months in know, just like you go, then you realize I'm
- 27:05just getting Dumber, being around these people.
- 27:13That's, that's a good point. Unfortunately, lots of people
- 27:16treat it, like high school. A lot of them are out of high
- 27:19school so like people don't Dustin to intention and like,
- 27:24there were points where I wanted to ask questions, but you don't
- 27:27have any time because people are just Joking.
- 27:29Or there's people that have like no idea, what's down and what's
- 27:32up? So and Dustin's just drifting in
- 27:34the parking lot and show ya, six am throwing it down.
- 27:36Are you, did you guys all go to the same Automotive school?
- 27:39Like no one's only context like a tank.
- 27:41Are you talking about the link tag with a big parking lot of
- 27:43Mawa? Yeah, oh yeah.
- 27:44I obviously, I'm from Ramsey, okay.
- 27:46I know that parking lot. Well, very well.
- 27:49It's a rather large Park in the, it's a, we rather large program.
- 27:52Where did you go to? Look at 13?
- 27:59I know. Yeah.
- 28:00You want your brother? Yeah.
- 28:02All right. So anyway Scott wait yeah.
- 28:03He Justin back to Scott You still have the same car or so.
- 28:10I meet Justin and I kind of like forget who else said this but I
- 28:18didn't think drifting was in attainable thing wax.
- 28:21Said that. Yeah.
- 28:22And Justin was like yeah, I go drifting all the time.
- 28:25You got a 240, let's go drifting and I'm like yeah no that's like
- 28:29not something you can just do. It feels like, ya know.
- 28:32We could just go do it. He didn't know about Club loose.
- 28:35You had no idea. They could even do that.
- 28:38But once you find out about Club lose, you know, you could just
- 28:40go there and fuck around. So I wouldn't say fuck around
- 28:44but it's a slow in a parking lot.
- 28:46Yesterday, much fucking around. Yeah, I guess the people that
- 28:48were gone there. Like they didn't know what I
- 28:50did. See you fucking crazy.
- 28:51It's a car where you won't get in trouble.
- 28:53That's that's, that's where. Yeah, here's the kind of funny.
- 28:56What? So, my first event is not Club
- 28:58loose. It was Lime Rock.
- 29:00Yeah, this is when I read, this is me, this is like really being
- 29:04cranky. So what year is it?
- 29:0613. It's gotta be 30. 30, it's 13 or
- 29:0812. So, every lap I drive, I fly off
- 29:11the course and every day every turn.
- 29:14Every whenever a you're the reason why we can't drift there
- 29:16and nobody who went wacky went to heaven.
- 29:19Were you at that lime rock event bacteria?
- 29:21Is a lot of us. It was you?
- 29:23Yeah, you just see AJ Danny Hart there.
- 29:27Okay. Danny, Hong was their recipes.
- 29:31Justin me. And that was it.
- 29:34But that was a was a lot. Yeah.
- 29:36And Jay filet was. Yeah.
- 29:39Jay fillet. Yeah, that's one of my friends
- 29:42that I know what the fuck he was there.
- 29:44He well, that what I mean? I knew him because I was at
- 29:48school. I was working at Danny's shop
- 29:49to, and he was, he was there. And he would, what car did he
- 29:53have at that point, he had a To 180 that he's working on, but it
- 29:58was the one who's driven as Sylvia.
- 29:59He was drifting Sylvia, interesting, I'm going to have
- 30:01to pick is it the same person pick his brain about that?
- 30:03Yeah. Jay Flay has any R34 to?
- 30:05Yeah, I'm not really too sure what he has now.
- 30:08There's like a photo of us all on some Highway.
- 30:10We like 10 different week before the Sylvia's, whatever we need
- 30:15to find out. We need to find that Jason.
- 30:17Okay. But the night before, I want to
- 30:20talk about the night before. Yeah.
- 30:21Please. Are you thinking of the same
- 30:22story where you were the car fucking?
- 30:24Yeah. Can you explain that?
- 30:27So the night before I mean Justin's garage is the night
- 30:30before the drift event. Yeah.
- 30:32Okay. And we were this is like the
- 30:36find the year, the Hoyts, my harness, this was pre Factor
- 30:41Motorsports body harness. It was If Justin did his car and
- 30:46then he was going to do my car and it wasn't even like really a
- 30:49thing before this, but we're working on a car late at night
- 30:54and I don't know, probably won't in the morning or something at
- 30:57this point and we're like finally kind of like ready to
- 31:00start it up. Justin asked me to start it and
- 31:02I like reaching the window like not in the car and hit the start
- 31:06button and the car fires up in gear almost runs Justin over
- 31:12plows into like his Bridge, blows the flute fridge through
- 31:16like the sheetrock at the back of the garage and like just
- 31:20starts doing a burnout with nobody in the car, was that the
- 31:25same that we all can work on the cars.
- 31:26There was that I think it was the same, but that was after I
- 31:29think it was after that makes sense because we were all there
- 31:31before. It was Jay's, car was in there,
- 31:33your car was in there and we're all working on our cars before
- 31:37because I think everybody got their car fixed except mine like
- 31:39needed the most amount of work. Yeah.
- 31:42Okay. And for those of you who don't
- 31:43know, They're the harness that you're referencing hoytsman.
- 31:47Justin wants to make harnesses for faction Motorsports and they
- 31:50were we do not make them anymore, so do not know make
- 31:52them anymore. So I feel like, I feel like
- 31:54Frankie gets that question. Yeah, times they do not make
- 31:57them anymore, robbi 2013, but yeah.
- 32:00So, what is it 2013 to have? Yes.
- 32:02Is this is October 13th, which is pretty crazy.
- 32:05So, you went October 13. Well, that was when this photo
- 32:09was posted. It could be a couple days
- 32:11before. But what if it was today, which
- 32:13is the eighth Could be, could be so very great.
- 32:16Good at that. That was me.
- 32:18That was me and Justins. First time tanning on a track to
- 32:20and there's Atlanta photos and this is lime rock the butterfly
- 32:24track. Unfortunately, they don't
- 32:25really. I feel like recently people have
- 32:26been opening it up to Drifting, but that the reason why they
- 32:29stopped is because the grass was getting fucked and they were
- 32:33like, all right, we had enough of you guys drifting.
- 32:36That was me. I'm tired of Scott.
- 32:38Going in here and tearing up this lawn, no more so I would go
- 32:44off. Oh so badly that I didn't bother
- 32:46driving back onto the course. And I would just go in the grass
- 32:49all the way back to grid to pour it probably was Scott that
- 32:57everybody we got there about Jesse though too because I
- 32:59remember was it? You wait wait I was gonna ask ya
- 33:02wait because Justin was driving that.
- 33:03Oh how did Jesse? Yeah me wax went to school with
- 33:08Jesse. Okay he was all right there.
- 33:14I think the similar time I did, you know, it was a white guy,
- 33:17who knows that one person was a red hatch, okay?
- 33:21There with the white coop at that drift of it.
- 33:23That was his that was the only time we all drifted together
- 33:27second. It's got to be second.
- 33:29No, I don't think so. Yeah, you just you just you
- 33:33know, he's cars getting pounded every week.
- 33:34So the hatch was gone and it. So he got a coupe but I remember
- 33:39he went out Ka. No power.
- 33:41Steering my coil overs, either. I don't think it was, did it?
- 33:46Is this is all just different. What is that the one with the
- 33:52photos of it listing? Like the Titanic?
- 33:54Yeah, probably. But was it destroys it?
- 33:57Yes, I think it was. We were we were we were out of
- 34:01our cars talking to someone like yo this is Scott's First
- 34:04Amendment. Yeah, do these days.
- 34:06I'm pretty sick. Yeah, he's there.
- 34:07He is now and we all turn and look and it's got to just
- 34:10fucking like flying through the air.
- 34:13I don't even know what you did. But like the moment, we all
- 34:16turned to look at him. All you see is his car flying
- 34:19through the air with like dirt? That's all I remember.
- 34:22And then we all turn back were like, yeah.
- 34:23So anyway, I'm trying to ignore what just happened.
- 34:27He's like, no, I don't know who that is.
- 34:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this, the are be still and
- 34:35yeah, the GTR engine. Yeah, the GTR are be 20.
- 34:41Damn, dude. You had that engine for a while.
- 34:43Yeah. Kill that thing.
- 34:45No, you still have it. I don't still have, your heart
- 34:49is like footage of someone that might have one for sale Justin's
- 34:51car like videotaping with a GoPro and all you, like all you
- 34:55here and sees a shrapnel, hitting the Go Pro and he's pull
- 35:00off and bright and just see smoke pouring, out of Scott's
- 35:03cars. It's a fucking, the turbo, just
- 35:05blowing out that event was fun, man.
- 35:07But I like, I wish I would've got in a drifting where I could
- 35:10have drifted that might have been one of the most I like that
- 35:12traffic, which is sad. A lot butterfly because it was
- 35:16like, it was just like hot lap. Well, first of all, there was no
- 35:19fucking rules, so don't think it was safe because that was the
- 35:22day. Justin scarr got fucked up.
- 35:24Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like I remember I spun out,
- 35:27Justin spins out behind me and not hit me.
- 35:29And then, the guy behind him just tanks right into his door.
- 35:32Like, doesn't even try to avoid him.
- 35:33And then like, we hear him talking later like that was
- 35:36sick, and we're just like, no, it's not.
- 35:40I actually wasn't buddy. So, like the event was fun.
- 35:44But his car is destroyed. So how'd you get it home?
- 35:47You're in your own home. That's exactly what I thought
- 35:49was was hoping we all drove there, like two and a half.
- 35:52Three hours or something. We all Street drove our cars
- 35:56except Danny Hong dare ya. Danny was the only one that was
- 35:58like, had a trailer. He was bawling.
- 36:01Yeah, so so so now everybody, like, everybody has kind of met
- 36:05each other and shit like, oh yeah, I'm sure in the faction
- 36:07timeline, and I'm going to call this the faction timeline for
- 36:09now, because you guys didn't have a name for it at that
- 36:12actually. So yeah.
- 36:14Yeah, excellent. That way actually there.
- 36:16Okay, so well, I want to backtrack a little bit and why
- 36:20did you choose the name faction? This is I ask Frankie this.
- 36:24Every time we talk about, here's how it goes.
- 36:27Why did you call it faction? So I want to know if you
- 36:30remember before, when Ethan brought up tension, Motorsports,
- 36:33that was me and Jeff Marlowe. Selling Parts trying to work on
- 36:38cars and that was it. So me and Jeff have a falling
- 36:42out. We don't want to work together.
- 36:44Her to we don't want to work together anymore.
- 36:45So we stopped that and we're like and I was like, all right,
- 36:50I need to have another name for because I'm still going to try
- 36:52to sell parts and not really work on cars yet but I'm going
- 36:56to try to, you know, create an online shop and try to sell
- 37:01parts for drift cars and so that I could get parts for my own car
- 37:04and sell them to my friends. Absolutely.
- 37:07So I was like, I need a name so this was around two thousand
- 37:11twelve or thirteen. Literally the same time.
- 37:13Everything happened like, Around the same time and I was kind of
- 37:17panicking at that point because I was like I need there was
- 37:20things that I needed to do to make sure like everything I
- 37:24don't know. It's hard to explain without
- 37:26talking shit but like I needed to make sure things happen too
- 37:30fast. So I was like, I need a name
- 37:31quick and this is the only thing I remember, I remember So
- 37:36obviously, this is I need a name for my shop.
- 37:39All right? Not for my group of friends that
- 37:41drift that's the key here because you'll see why.
- 37:45So I'm remember, Jesse was at my house and I was like talking
- 37:50about how my computer out, I'm like, dude, I need something.
- 37:52Just start throwing words at me. And we're just, like, throwing
- 37:55words around, or like, how could we do this?
- 37:56And he said, he said the word faction and I was like, damn, I
- 38:00think that would be 60. Jesse said the word fag.
- 38:03Yeah, definitely. And then he goes.
- 38:06But drift faction and drift faction was a club from
- 38:10Massachusetts. Yeah, I used to watch their
- 38:12stuff and their oh geez. Yeah.
- 38:14So so he said that and I was like well that doesn't matter
- 38:17because I'm just making a performance shop online retail
- 38:21thing that we have that exact same conversation possibly well
- 38:27probably after he did that I probably came to you and I was
- 38:29like I'm going to call it this and then you probably said the
- 38:31same thing and you said it won't matter.
- 38:34We're never going to get that big.
- 38:35I said it won't matter what, but my main thought was, my main
- 38:40thought was, it's not a drift Club, so I was like, it doesn't
- 38:42matter. Yeah, you're not entering the
- 38:44same, see ya? So it literally didn't even
- 38:47really bother me at all. It is started to bother me.
- 38:50Once we formed a drift, like a legit drift club, and we were
- 38:54and I was like, I guess we're using the same fucking name.
- 38:56Now, look at me now. Yeah, so so let me get this
- 39:00straight. So I just had to be 2012.
- 39:01By the way you made you made the you made the shop, which is what
- 39:05it didn't have like, There wasn't a shot and a shot.
- 39:07Yeah, it was online retail, which is just a website story.
- 39:12Yeah, website. So and in my mind I was like,
- 39:15oh, this doesn't matter and you just decided you also keep in
- 39:19mind that Slide Attack was dying but not dead.
- 39:22It wasn't done yet full so you know if this could have gone
- 39:25anyway and we and like I said I did not think we were going to
- 39:29call our group that but I mean it wasn't your like intention to
- 39:32like you know, but it was my final decision where I was like
- 39:36We're going to it's going to be called to action because in my
- 39:38mind it was a marketing thing. I was like if you if you know
- 39:42Mind Control Racing or MC our Factory, that's what I asked.
- 39:46This was a couple years a year after I was like it's like damn
- 39:49that that's pretty good. They have a shop that has
- 39:52similar name and they would drift Club.
- 39:55So when they go drifting it kind of promotes a shop So once I had
- 39:59that in my mind, I was like you're not going to name it
- 40:01anything else I was like, fuck, it wasn't even faction.
- 40:03I mean, those drift passion guys you know we don't really see
- 40:06them out that many that much anymore literally right when I
- 40:09thought I had that whole thought process.
- 40:11They're fucking like coming back and like going to events and
- 40:13shit. I was like God damn it.
- 40:16It was just like it all happened at the same time and there was a
- 40:18couple moments where I almost ditched the name.
- 40:22But but you always think as it's happening, you always think oh
- 40:26it, we already went too far. Yeah because you've already made
- 40:29all the stuff. Yeah but and I did have it on.
- 40:32We could have we could have reverted but in our head it was
- 40:36like oh we already know the Christmas video is out this that
- 40:38blah blah blah. Like oh okay so we're already
- 40:41well into Seasons greeting well when when this is happening when
- 40:44this is M. Yeah which is about 2014 or 13.
- 40:4814. Yeah.
- 40:49Somewhere around there. So a couple years after this
- 40:51Lime Rock drift event but yeah, that's the story with the name.
- 40:55I could even go into more of that.
- 40:58If you want me to once we get past this.
- 41:01Yes because eventually we we have conversations with your
- 41:06faction and boss town and other drift clubs up there about it
- 41:12kind of in a way. So And at the end of the day
- 41:18they end up making me feel fine about it, but I carried that
- 41:21burden on mine. A my head for a while.
- 41:23Yeah. Because you definitely obviously
- 41:25did not intend to do. So I didn't want to step on
- 41:27people's toes and make them feel ya, know, I know, especially in.
- 41:30Oh geez. Yeah, and I seen I know you by
- 41:32now. I know that W.
- 41:33It wasn't your intention. Your you have the same attention
- 41:36as everyone else. Yeah, so that was the thing with
- 41:38the name. It really was just like, okay,
- 41:40we need to, we need a name, we need a quick for the website.
- 41:42Did that started my business with the name, like that was
- 41:45Thing, I wanted to get my business license and I wanted it
- 41:48to be the name of the business. So did that and then.
- 41:53Yeah. Anyway, so we do lime rock, we
- 41:55kind of have what we have. Is I have a shop, I'm creating
- 41:58but we don't really have a drift Club per se, like, we're not all
- 42:03agreeing that. We're in a drift Club.
- 42:05We're just drifting for fun. What happens after lime rock I
- 42:12could like go through these photos and like, try to get an
- 42:14idea. I know we did like, like, here's
- 42:18my guess. Is that slave from Les ride?
- 42:23That was your first, okay? So, Sleigh, Ride is terrible
- 42:29ever. It's the last event of every
- 42:31season every season since 2000. Yeah, 2013.
- 42:37Is it really this one? Yeah, I guess I'll 2013.
- 42:40No, I think yours was 14. Yeah.
- 42:43Okay so this one was for were you at this event Scott?
- 42:47I think so. Okay.
- 42:50So think I was at this event and Club loose Sleigh Ride. 2013.
- 42:55Yeah, just now um, I think it was one of my first events have
- 43:00ever trailer Dakar to. So now you think you're a boss
- 43:04because I always yeah always like drove.
- 43:06Move. But ever since I started
- 43:09trailing, I've broken my car, 100% of the events of trailer to
- 43:13tell everyone. 100% Go to Evergreen and it was fine.
- 43:38He had like yeah, literally on the highway Darrell's Towing his
- 43:41car. I'm driving my car.
- 43:42I'm like damn it I could really just be trailing my car.
- 43:45Yeah your car break we know but you've also heard you always
- 43:49trailer. He always does.
- 43:50That's different. We're talking you mostly Street
- 43:52drive a car and then you start trailering because you think
- 43:56I'll be safe about it at home. But your car's totaled.
- 44:00I feel like, okay, this is going to be like a little side note
- 44:02here, but the thing is, is I feel like when you trailer the
- 44:05car and, you know, that You can get in car knows you know that
- 44:08you can get it all in your mind, you drive that bitch fucking
- 44:12completely different. Yes that's it.
- 44:14Yeah, that's really different because you because now you're
- 44:16not afraid. Don't don't add like science to
- 44:19this is that the court knows the colonel.
- 44:21Oh yeah, the cars are living in living breathing thing extension
- 44:26of you Carl. Yeah, but, but no really.
- 44:29That's, that's the Comfort I get from it.
- 44:31But anyway, we're so I drank sleigh ride then.
- 44:34Do you remember anything aside from your Being able to cut
- 44:38diamonds. Yeah, I see group and you went
- 44:42for a fucking bank. Oh, I don't think it's that
- 44:45available, but this event. I, yeah, I dirt dropped on the
- 44:50entry bent. A tie rod is this where?
- 44:55I think snapped the tie rod. Wait, wait, wait.
- 44:57On the entry of front course on Francoeur Centre?
- 45:00I dirt dropped on the inner clip.
- 45:03Yeah, I've been just before they made them like wider, I thought,
- 45:06oh yeah, you ain't Minor the truck did not look like it
- 45:08looks. Yeah, I don't know.
- 45:09It was a lot skinnier but yeah and like fucking mountains.
- 45:13Yeah well the track you're going in like a Bayside dirt, drop
- 45:16broken, tie rod, crack the oil pan, put it on the trailer to
- 45:23like drain the oil. Try to J-B Weld it but it is so
- 45:26cold. The J-B Weld wouldn't dry.
- 45:29And I was hoping to like drift the next day because I signed up
- 45:32for both and it was so cold. I think it was In the negatives
- 45:37or like the teens or something. And I'm sleeping in the truck
- 45:41with the heat on in the truck running and the truck I guess
- 45:45while I was sleeping overheated and shut off.
- 45:50So I woke up freezing to an overheated shut off truck like
- 45:54at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and I was like, I'm getting out
- 45:58of here. Fuck this.
- 46:00Never do another drift event in the winter with Justin, that we
- 46:03were all there. I think everybody was there but
- 46:05I just want me. Me and everybody woke up the
- 46:07next morning and I'm gone. Is this also is now the start of
- 46:14like kind of. Yeah.
- 46:15So like Club. Yeah.
- 46:17But my car was still too ugly to be in it though.
- 46:20Well, I don't know if this is even the start of the actual
- 46:22drift, I feel like the real kick off is when they all got painted
- 46:25gray. Yeah.
- 46:27So so yeah part of me almost thinks like that at present the
- 46:30first final bout. You guys know we had banners
- 46:33before then? Yeah, but it's a faction
- 46:34Motorsports and it was like, Say faction Wars.
- 46:37When I love that banner and I had one on my car, but at the
- 46:41same time that was that was still like in my mind that was
- 46:43still like promoting the shop. You know, I mean so so okay,
- 46:47forgive me if I'm wrong here. But so now you're now this whole
- 46:50thing. It involves like you guys are
- 46:52going to drift events. Everybody's cars started taking
- 46:55different like not shapes but like you know you're doing more
- 46:58mods and stuff. Yeah is my first well me and
- 47:01Justin were already fucking committed like Justin's been
- 47:04committed for years and now I was like I was like, oh, I guess
- 47:07this is my life now. What did the great thing
- 47:09happened? How many years down the line?
- 47:11Was that because if you guys want your including Scott, than
- 47:14it was 2014, probably. It's probably some a year after
- 47:19you two were gray before me. Yeah, we me and Justin paint our
- 47:23cars because you're like I'll be cool of our cars matched.
- 47:25Like just I only went gray because Jesse didn't look at.
- 47:30Look at you. You know.
- 47:31He's smoking a cigarette. So, I'm at I'm looking through
- 47:37photos. This is actually a really easy
- 47:39way to figure this out over. There's the there's one you and
- 47:43Justin are gray. Oh, okay.
- 47:45So me and Justin, candid. Are we matched our cars around
- 47:482014 and I know we both had cages in the cars.
- 47:53Like we were like, getting ready to attend them at Club member to
- 47:57break. You called me over.
- 47:58Like yo, got paint this gauge. Get there.
- 48:01Just has to rattle cans and we're just like, all right, so
- 48:04how we doing this? And he just hands me a And he
- 48:06put the bandana, I put a bandaid on, we go inside this key
- 48:09inside, a car, and you start spraying we finish.
- 48:14She said, you got a mask. I'm like, yeah, bandana starts.
- 48:17We just start spraying around. Inside this, inside the car and
- 48:20then, once we're done, we take the Bandit.
- 48:21If I look at Frankie, his nose, hairs are all white.
- 48:24I mean, my nose hairs are all white.
- 48:26I was like there for like, like two weeks.
- 48:28I think that white ass, yeah. We lost in brain cells, on that
- 48:30one, and look at you now. So, so, I'm caged in the car.
- 48:35My car has srl Ready, Scott? I don't know what you're doing
- 48:39around this time, but you probably just doing drift
- 48:40events. Making sure your car doesn't
- 48:42blow up. We did an event.
- 48:44We actually mean, Justin didn't event and JMP.
- 48:47It was like a demo of some sorts that was definitely the biggest
- 48:51track I've ever been on possibly in my life.
- 48:54But at, that point, for sure. And, you know, I just remember,
- 48:58does anyone remember that video of Justin?
- 49:00Someone was in Justin's passenger seat.
- 49:01I don't know who it was. And it's like, Justin's coming
- 49:04over a bent. I know it was, it was Alex, man,
- 49:07glass. He was in the passenger seat or
- 49:09something and it's an in-car in like, Justin's fucking ripping.
- 49:12It comes over this hill and he's just offline.
- 49:15So much just goes right into the grass, the whole cameras, like
- 49:20the grass, going everywhere, that was the funniest video ever
- 49:25seen. And they literally like, before
- 49:27the event, they're like, you know, going out to track, not
- 49:29doing any of that and James P. So it's like all fancy.
- 49:33If it's like, how fast are you going on that track?
- 49:35What do you expect? I mean, no one deaded The
- 49:37Drifters. Obviously we had no idea what I
- 49:39mean. Joy even have like kind of some
- 49:41skill items. Like really fast and JMP is a
- 49:44big track be yeah, of course. Yeah, wow.
- 49:46So they actually everything really try and retain drifting.
- 49:49Their first of all I'd never again that probably never again
- 49:52because that doesn't exist anymore that's like Cannon.
- 49:54It's let us say by their to Paulo.
- 50:00Is there to Jay was there? Yeah, that event was crazy.
- 50:08Where we going to, okay? Well, this is probably when I
- 50:13decided that 2014. Okay.
- 50:15We're twisting you're saying 2014 is the gray?
- 50:18Well 2014. Well Justin and Frank.
- 50:20Yes. And also probably the time when
- 50:22I was like or around there when I was like maybe we should
- 50:26actually make this a drift team or I was like why don't we use
- 50:28faction as the name? Because now Slide Attack has to
- 50:33be gone. It has to be completely dead by
- 50:35that point and now it's like me, Justin Scott we know AJ.
- 50:41Out of car. He's not, I don't know if you.
- 50:43When did you start drifting? Do you remember 15?
- 50:46Okay, so he doesn't drift. Yeah, but he's got a car Wags is
- 50:49drifting. Jesse is has been drifting.
- 50:53You were. Oh, you were gone, okay?
- 50:56So Wags move. Yes.
- 50:58You actually really gonna drifting when you're out there?
- 51:00Yeah, that's when I started like track.
- 51:02Okay. Yeah.
- 51:03So Wags moves with his car to Washington.
- 51:07Yeah, so now wise is gone. So we got I mean I remember
- 51:11Clearly drifting all the time with Jesse, like me and him
- 51:15would just drive to New York in Queens that those drift zombie
- 51:18events. Like so I clear, clearly
- 51:21remember that he was definitely drifting this whole time, but
- 51:25his shit was always fucking broken or like no power steering
- 51:28or but at the same time, he did have a fucking car in a drawer.
- 51:32He was driving it all the time. Yeah.
- 51:34Yeah, definitely a struggle. Yeah.
- 51:36Yeah, we called the car. The struggle so.
- 51:39Alright, so that's all going on. I was like, all right, so I
- 51:42guess we should like maybe make this legit so that was when we
- 51:46put banners on our cars and I got a kind of good little side.
- 51:51Note said bring it up. So Frankie always hated my car,
- 51:56probably try and and what weight which car was that now at this
- 51:58point so my my original are B20 hatch.
- 52:04I bought a coupe shell and swapped everything over to the
- 52:08Shell, The Coop shell. So I like still consider it the
- 52:11same. Car.
- 52:12But now it's a coupe. Same carbon not, I did like a
- 52:16body swap, I did like that was it?
- 52:18Yeah. Body swap.
- 52:20But like I had, I don't know. It was like, the crappiest car.
- 52:26You could imagine it like 20 million different colors.
- 52:30It was, it was all the it had like I had a sill front hood
- 52:35that had like fiberglass hood vents riveted on to it, that
- 52:39were like, kind of like popping off.
- 52:42It was so bad. That Frankie like would always
- 52:45give me shit. Like you can't keep this Hood.
- 52:48Like when are you getting a new hood?
- 52:50Like you. I won't let you on Faction.
- 52:52If you still have this hood, that sounds.
- 52:55I was a Nazi and I'm probably still am in a way but the thing
- 52:58is up. Yes, you are.
- 52:59Yeah, but this at this point, everyone's already brainwashed.
- 53:02So I really want to work anymore at this.
- 53:03He hated my car for a long time too.
- 53:06Yeah. Like it but everyone's like AJ,
- 53:08if anything AJ is like the most, like me now.
- 53:10I feel like with the Car styling and everything.
- 53:12Yeah. It like to go with the complete
- 53:14other way, actually. I've like it was cool to have a
- 53:17car with like different colored fenders and like yeah, sticker
- 53:20bombs and stuff. I didn't know.
- 53:22I just I thought it was cool back.
- 53:23That's just funny because now it's like now it's like I look
- 53:26to you and I'm like, oh, we have the same thought process with
- 53:29this, but that's the archive of drifting, Goku cars and stuff
- 53:32like that. There's our inspiration.
- 53:33Yeah. But yeah.
- 53:35So in my mind I was like, we're going to have a club like we
- 53:37gotta all look good, the car. So again, this is the best part
- 53:40is I'm like, see group Englishtown drift in the bank.
- 53:44Anyway, don't skip a year, even though I shouldn't be.
- 53:49And I think there's, like, raining or, I don't know,
- 53:53whatever it was. I wrecked into the wall, super
- 53:56hard on the bank. Only thing I think is I guy like
- 54:01see the hood folded in half. And the only thing on my mind
- 54:05is, well, Frank, he's right. I'm getting a new hood.
- 54:11So hyped. Now I need a new hood.
- 54:15Runs up. Good job, Scott.
- 54:16Do you also like YouTube front? Yeah, that was what I wrecked.
- 54:22It bad. Well, you had a.
- 54:23You Darby 20 at that point to yeah.
- 54:25Okay, why is that? No no.
- 54:27Whoa whoa, whoa. Those are the dark days and they
- 54:29didn't come back. Looks got me looking ahead more
- 54:31than one RV 20. There is like at least that's
- 54:33over a motherfucking part of this that we still have to talk
- 54:36about. Yeah.
- 54:38So I'm just going to do the photos 2014.
- 54:40It look like Me and Justin did some race at drift event at
- 54:43Pocono. We also, this is also, when
- 54:48Miyagi felt my first drift of it, we can Westlake.
- 54:53Tell them about your first time drift.
- 54:55Yeah. What first literally time on
- 54:59grid, man. Let's backtrack.
- 55:02That's not even talking about, but which I'm talking about then
- 55:04it's a good story. But first event together, that's
- 55:06what I'm talking about. So miyagi's like I hit him up,
- 55:10you know, you want to go drifting.
- 55:11They're gone drifting down at the spot.
- 55:13Oh, I talk a lot. Yeah, yeah so we go to IKEA like
- 55:16that spot that they always went to and frankly like dude we go

- 56:45Yeah, that's just sucked. I think you talked, we talked
- 56:48about this story. Maybe not.
- 56:51You might have said. And I think this is literally
- 56:54what you said, then we're going to do an episode about that.
- 56:56We well, we can do a whole episode about that, but when you
- 56:59give you a quick rundown, so he's, you're getting fucked.
- 57:02Everyone's getting photos, gave the heck.
- 57:03They had a cop for every, for every car that was their head,
- 57:06like 77 like seven, eight cop cars, and two cops in each car.
- 57:10So there's like 60 cops there. Yeah.
- 57:11There's like six of us so we just getting your setting.
- 57:14The record is a reckless ticket if you had listened to.
- 57:17Yeah. Yeah.

- 57:37I remember he comes over to me. He's like, you ain't driving
- 57:39this on the night and he walked and he walks away.

- 1:00:25speeding Holland. Like I can't believe I just got
- 1:00:27away with that. So that was okay, just to
- 1:00:31clarify because now we're all over the place, that was just a
- 1:00:34side note. The miyagi's first time ever
- 1:00:36seen. Yeah.
- 1:00:37So now we're going to go back to now when I was around the same
- 1:00:40time. Okay, that's okay.
- 1:00:42That's, that's that's even better.
- 1:00:43Yeah. So pretty good order.
- 1:00:48I'd say, we're pretty good job of that happened in one time.
- 1:00:52It's a lot of be happy. Everybody lives within 10
- 1:00:54minutes of each other, this'll but gets fucked, you know?
- 1:00:58You gets fucked. Whoa, that's a technical foul.
- 1:01:03I'm so sorry. Yeah, my fucking Malcolm.
- 1:01:05We're gonna bleep that out. Sorry everybody, right, right
- 1:01:12down to impound story. I didn't call it that.
- 1:01:15Alright, so my fault. Wait, what happens when you want
- 1:01:19to talk about your actual first job?
- 1:01:21My first Club lucidly sleigh ride.
- 1:01:25I'm like yo Frankie what I do. Go go go.
- 1:01:29Backtrack first turn just said it just clutch kick and go in
- 1:01:33I'm like alright sick. Fucking go for a country as soon
- 1:01:36as I do it Instinct, just close my eyes like so close.
- 1:02:05Advise the clutch kick naughty Break.
- 1:02:07Meanwhile every track worker there is like, why aren't you
- 1:02:09eat break? I know, I really don't have it
- 1:02:12blowing the time track with no control, right?
- 1:02:15He's like, oh, that he's being a bitch.
- 1:02:16She's being ridiculous, but we were just trying to get you to
- 1:02:23not drive straight into the turn and rip the handbrake and then
- 1:02:28start drifting, we're trying to get you to let you know.
- 1:02:29I was trying to flick it in. Yes going flying off the
- 1:02:32obviously you're going to have to use it Hamburg after that
- 1:02:34most of the time. But absolutely yeah.
- 1:02:36Also no good front tires. Which makes the biggest
- 1:02:39difference ever first event me and Miyagi both didn't know.
- 1:02:42Were you guys at the same? Yeah, I think we're using like
- 1:02:45well so its use on the rears for the front.
- 1:02:47You also like ice skating like the front end with just like
- 1:02:51over searing and just understanding and everything.
- 1:02:55Can you hear even when I would get into a drift?
- 1:02:58There was no control of where it was going.
- 1:03:00Yeah. This car is just doing what it
- 1:03:02wants. I'm Goin wherever I don't know.
- 1:03:05Now, we're at the stage where, where they are starting to drift
- 1:03:08a club loose but they're beginners and the, but they're
- 1:03:10not great yet terrible. No, no painted.
- 1:03:13No, no one's far as painting. Yeah, it's just me and Justin.
- 1:03:15And then Scott Scott is kind of like, in the middle.
- 1:03:18I'd say you're getting, you're getting better and then it's me
- 1:03:21and Justin are probably like, the better drivers at everyone
- 1:03:24and Jesse's probably around where you are to.
- 1:03:26He's good, but it's cars, not. It doesn't have Sr anything.
- 1:03:30So they're still like what four or five of us, I guess.
- 1:03:32There's like five of us. Yeah. and then, That's I guess
- 1:03:40that's one final bout happens. So I get a full.
- 1:03:42Oh, fuck jump. What the hell?
- 1:03:46I get a phone call from because it's for 2014.
- 1:03:48So, yeah. Things got real serious, real
- 1:03:50quick. Yeah.
- 1:03:51Wow. That that would make me shit a
- 1:03:53brick like so you'll hear about that.
- 1:03:55All right. No, no.
- 1:04:09I'm probably get the cars because I'm changing everything
- 1:04:12and like trying to get everything, right?
- 1:04:13So we get a phone call, or I got a phone call while I'm at work.
- 1:04:17I remember I was valeting cars and I get a phone call.
- 1:04:19It's like the middle winter and it's fucking, it's either Simba

- 1:05:05around the country and that was it.
- 1:05:07They were bringing drift teams One point, well, the summit
- 1:05:11stylish drifting's but honestly, it wasn't really about that.
- 1:05:13It was kind of just like any organized drift team was
- 1:05:17invited. That was really what it was and
- 1:05:19this was the second one. So that's what I wanted to
- 1:05:21mention me and Miyagi. We went to the first one.
- 1:05:25So this is how it happens. Okay.
- 1:05:27So I was like cuz when was it must mean 2014 I guess.

- 1:07:57My bad. I didn't give you enough the
- 1:08:01size of only got 30 something, dude.
- 1:08:07This shit's about to get, I miss those.
- 1:08:11Do you like how I hated those being banners were the vent?
- 1:08:15It's still like burnt into my windshield.
- 1:08:18Oh, I got a friend before I got that Banner.
- 1:08:22Yeah, it's still see where that Banner used to be like the ban
- 1:08:25is after The great. Yeah.
- 1:08:29People like these. I hate it.
- 1:08:37That's what I thought of when I made that.
- 1:08:41Kevin's me out. Well, you are talking about.
- 1:08:45Yeah, so I don't know if you want to say that Christmas Drew
- 1:08:54video. This is totally.
- 1:08:56We need to talk about that. Actually totally out of the
- 1:08:58order, but before with of our cars, looked completely totaled.
- 1:09:02Fine. Yeah, we'll talk about that
- 1:09:04right now. Frankie did Total his car but
- 1:09:07you can't leave. What I had to.
- 1:09:10Myself got a big 45 min. We waited for you helped.
- 1:09:13We did you actually we have room in the entire body.
- 1:09:16So we're not going to do the final belt.
- 1:09:18One thing, we're going to go back a little bit and we're
- 1:09:21going to go to our starting final bout.
- 1:09:24No, no, just listen, we forgot about.
- 1:09:28We forgot about the Christmas video.
- 1:09:31The first one. You know, if our fact I'm pretty
- 1:09:37sure I don't think it's, I don't think so this Chris, I think,
- 1:09:39are you now? Kid is because Justin still had
- 1:09:42those white rotors with the zip ties on this.
- 1:09:44Both, what know it's before? Yeah, I know it is.
- 1:09:48I know it is. Yeah.
- 1:09:50Because, you know I know it is We had to be 2013 or 2014
- 1:09:57December. I went to say 2014, I don't know
- 1:10:06what you're talking about, but what, I know is that I ever
- 1:10:10bought was the road is from just, okay?
- 1:10:12But all, I know it was so cool. Is there a number?
- 1:10:16You have short amount of time before.
- 1:10:18Frankie Tommy did, that was really lame for having my car
- 1:10:23came with Road. Sighs.
- 1:10:24I gotta get rid of these things. The only the only reason I know
- 1:10:29that is because the faction Instagram was popular when we
- 1:10:33went to fun about one. So it had to be before that.
- 1:10:37So you want to talk about that? That's for Christmas video.
- 1:10:41Oh yeah. And we stole your car.
- 1:10:44Yeah. So who stole a car?
- 1:10:46Justin and Justin steal your my car.
- 1:10:50So we decided I think it was definitely Justin's right.
- 1:10:53It isn't idea. So Justin's car, I think wasn't
- 1:10:55running and I wasn't any good at drifting, but I had a running
- 1:11:01car and tell me idea. The idea was well, here's the
- 1:11:05other thing, we knew Mike koziol.
- 1:11:07So that's like, a major key to the story.
- 1:11:11Michael's, you'll do some pretty dope stuff.
- 1:11:13He does awesome filming you. So check them out, but Yeah, so
- 1:11:19we were, I guess, I think it was just an idea because Justin had
- 1:11:21a photo of a Christmas tree on top of his roof.
- 1:11:24Yeah. So because he would just he
- 1:11:25would drive and go pick up the Christmas tree from town and put
- 1:11:30it on his 240 and draw back. So that was we were like oh
- 1:11:33imagine if we just drifted like that.
- 1:11:35So we were like let's make a video like that.
- 1:11:37So we get Mike on board. There's a couple of us and then
- 1:11:42we were like we're just going to go pick up trees, put them on
- 1:11:45the cars and go drifting turn. I'm filming and that was it but
- 1:11:50just didn't have a car. So yeah, so your car broke and
- 1:11:53he's like hits me up like, hey, can I borrow your car?
- 1:11:56You're gonna like drift with the Christmas tree on it?
- 1:11:58Like yeah, sure, whatever and your car did not look great
- 1:12:02either. No, no.
- 1:12:03It was like one color almost. No.
- 1:12:06It was exactly like five different colors this whole
- 1:12:09time. It's still look better than your
- 1:12:10car though. Yes.
- 1:12:18And I feel like I always got up one of these side note.
- 1:12:25If you haven't seen this video, this is like one of the earliest
- 1:12:29Drift videos I've personally ever seen and it was Frankie and
- 1:12:33now I was know that it's Justin and they're drifting like with
- 1:12:37Christmas trees on their fucking rooms and it's like d on the
- 1:12:40street and stuff I thought was the coolest fucking thing.
- 1:12:42I know it's before that Scott and this When that video was
- 1:12:49that when you guys got pulled over at the end.
- 1:12:51Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
- 1:12:53So we didn't we didn't get yeah, we didn't get pulled over.
- 1:12:56It was the camera crew ironically enough.
- 1:12:58That's what made me scared when I first started getting in a
- 1:13:00drifting. I'm like ah to we got a trouble
- 1:13:02fall. Yeah, they let us go because it
- 1:13:05wasn't you guys. I got pulled over because they
- 1:13:06didn't know what drifting was too.
- 1:13:07Yeah, they are. So, all right, also, the cop for
- 1:13:13the town was Justin's neighbor. But did he, did he warn him who
- 1:13:17Did he give him a heads-up or no?
- 1:13:19Remember told him not to do it, didn't he?
- 1:13:21Yeah, we got back to Justin's house and his neighbor like
- 1:13:25walks over. We didn't.
- 1:13:26Okay. So you can tell money and he's
- 1:13:27like, cursing us out and he's like, I know it was you guys
- 1:13:33he's like, I'm not gonna say anything but at the same time
- 1:13:37I'm not going to defend you. If someone brings it up, as I
- 1:13:40know it was you my like, we didn't do, we didn't do
- 1:13:44anything. Like, we went up to a dead end.
- 1:13:47Treat all the way at the top where there's no houses and
- 1:13:52Justin has drifted this area before and we are and we just
- 1:13:55drifted it, maybe twice, or was it just one time I think was
- 1:13:58just 12 years as one-upping back there.
- 1:13:59Yeah. The video you see is the only
- 1:14:01time we did it and then that was it and it was horrible driving
- 1:14:03and that was it horrible driving.
- 1:14:06But because it was one dry. Yeah, I want to try and it was
- 1:14:10on the street and there's trees on the roof.
- 1:14:11That's why people are like, oh this is sick and this is before,
- 1:14:13you know, this like early Instagrams.
- 1:14:15Yeah, I was gonna say, but Okay. So, that concept had started,
- 1:14:19The Season's Greetings thing. Well, that will know it wasn't a
- 1:14:22concept yet, but that was just a video that was a video you up.
- 1:14:25But that video really got them. But load of fucking use dude,
- 1:14:29like that. Spread of.
- 1:14:30Yeah, so that blew our Instagram up.
- 1:14:32Okay. And there is the Instagram.
- 1:14:33Yeah. And then that's how you got
- 1:14:35invited to final bout. That's probably one of the ways
- 1:14:38they found out about us. Okay.
- 1:14:39Sure. Yeah, I don't know any other way
- 1:14:44because I didn't know those guys.
- 1:14:46So but yeah, so then meet me I'll get back to, you know, we
- 1:14:52got to get to final ballot. So Shane from boss Town,
- 1:14:55Massachusetts drift Club, you know, you know that?

- 1:15:33right? At one point.
- 1:15:34Yeah. The thunder storm hits.
- 1:15:36And previously we like before the foot like the cigarette.
- 1:15:41Frankie took the fuse out because it wasn't working and
- 1:15:44put the fuse for the windshield wiper cigarette.
- 1:15:48A lot of them looking. I was just like, yeah, just pull
- 1:15:50it out. Put it there so you can charge
- 1:15:51this phone. Awesome.
- 1:15:53We're driving in this fucking rain.
- 1:15:55Storm comes. I know, I can't see anything.
- 1:15:57Cars are stopped. They were all were like, that
- 1:16:00room is so stretching, is like a construction zone to so like it

- 1:16:09wheeler. We have to, like, try to pull
- 1:16:10over. Mm, it's pouring rain.
- 1:16:12So we can't like get out of car and do it.

- 1:16:17Yeah, they're just cars going. Yeah, fun, festive, and shaking.
- 1:16:21Like, we're not even in her shoulder because you're trying
- 1:16:22to put this fuse back that Frankie ticket.

- 1:25:20first final bout and ironically enough.
- 1:25:24I lost the car but and I wasn't even.
- 1:25:27I wasn't even driving or anything where this is a side
- 1:25:30note. This is a side note yet so that
- 1:25:33was your first one about. Yeah my first final bout.
- 1:25:35I got that same feeling to just cause like you don't see that I
- 1:25:37hope you got that feeling. I don't know if it's the same as
- 1:25:39it was back then but I hope it is.
- 1:25:40For real even even though like yeah, we this at obviously it
- 1:25:44was different just because we were you know, faction has a
- 1:25:46booth and stuff and yeah, I was there to help help out but when
- 1:25:50I was walking around there was nothing else like it.
- 1:25:52Like there's just like this energy going around and all the
- 1:25:55cars. Look absolutely dope.
- 1:25:57Yeah. Like everyone in the pit is
- 1:25:58there like to do the same thing. So like everyone's like fixing
- 1:26:01stuff or talking to people like there's Good Vibes all around
- 1:26:04but yeah, I fucking lost a car. We're leaving, I met Trevor.
- 1:26:09I met his Instagram name. Red gasm, kreygasm Josh, and I
- 1:26:12didn't. I've never met this dude before
- 1:26:14I just saw the car and I was like holy fuck.
- 1:26:16This is this is the car. Well he took us out to breakfast
- 1:26:18that the night best breakfast I've ever had.
- 1:26:21So cago. So at least at the very least,
- 1:26:24my my stomach was full when this car died.
- 1:26:27Yeah. So we're in.
- 1:26:28Yeah, that money. You're like an Indiana right
- 1:26:30buddy. You're gonna summon.
- 1:26:32Almost. Didn't get a call from Chris.
- 1:26:34Yes. So This transmission is not
- 1:26:37feeling too. Hot night was really hot, really
- 1:26:40hot. He's like I don't think this is
- 1:26:42gonna happen and we're like, all right.
- 1:26:43We'll keep going until you can't.
- 1:26:45So we just keep going and then we just see you guys fading away
- 1:26:47into the into the, okay? Well and then and then we don't
- 1:26:55have a trailer, we don't have a trailer Frank, he's driving his
- 1:26:58Almighty Chevy and then fucking were pulled over in Indiana.
- 1:27:02We stop. I try to go from a toll booth
- 1:27:04and it's like it's like not going.
- 1:27:05I'm like, Cranking it drive, OneDrive OneDrive one.
- 1:27:08I'm like, what the fuck? And then it drove into the
- 1:27:11parking lot. Where the, where the tollbooth
- 1:27:13workers Arc. I guess.
- 1:27:15Yeah, Frank he's about to go try and get a trailer.
- 1:27:18I'm sitting there contemplating life whether if it's even worth
- 1:27:20it because that means I got to bring it home and fix it and he
- 1:27:23was worried, it was gonna blow my transmission.
- 1:27:24I was worried about Frankie's truck.
- 1:27:26It was an RX 300 like a basically, a puffed-up is 300,
- 1:27:30but it's big. It's a big SUV.
- 1:27:31It's a, it looks like a golf ball of an SUV dude digit.
- 1:27:36But so that's right that comes into play and I'm like, he's
- 1:27:42like, all right, to do whatever it was willing to do it, but me
- 1:27:46being me. I wouldn't be able to live with
- 1:27:48that if Frankie's truck died too.
- 1:27:50So I think and this is also be killed.
- 1:27:53Yeah, I think this is the first time I realized how bad how,
- 1:27:57like, how bad I don't have to wear this.
- 1:27:59You have horrible luck. Yeah.
- 1:28:01Yeah. But the worst that I've ever
- 1:28:02actually the worst luck. It's been on an open up though.
- 1:28:05Knock on wood. The thing is, is Frankie was
- 1:28:09already ready to sleep overnight at a hotel?
- 1:28:12I'm assuming now because this is who this is because of you and
- 1:28:15miyagi's experience nothing left?
- 1:28:18Yeah no. Yeah.
- 1:28:25Okay. Either way I mean well the car
- 1:28:27got impounded appreciate that car got impounded it didn't get
- 1:28:30it all really we scrapped. It think it was trying to sleep
- 1:28:32at a hotel already and I was like no I'm just going to leave
- 1:28:35them. Sorry I give up.
- 1:28:36Up. Fuck it.
- 1:28:37We're just going to leave it here and then Frankie was upset
- 1:28:39because I had an option sticker on the on the back windshield.
- 1:28:42The second look came on the car and it looks so cool and it
- 1:28:44Factory. Yeah.
- 1:28:46What would you do with like leaving the car there, you had
- 1:28:48never done that before so I called I called the junkyard
- 1:28:51somebody came put a plate on it and they were like yeah you're
- 1:28:53good. Helps it anywhere outside of
- 1:28:57abandoned. Cars all over.
- 1:28:58What? They give you 500 bucks.
- 1:28:59They gave me $300. Damn, you're wrong.
- 1:29:03Yeah. But then but then here's the
- 1:29:05thing, Frankie had Pack back seat.
- 1:29:07And he's that the whole time, he's just switching all this
- 1:29:09stuff to move just like squeezing it in the bed and he's
- 1:29:12like fucking Carl's. Like I really didn't even really
- 1:29:14know Frankie all that. Well, at this point, this is
- 1:29:17when I really met you Malcolm and Princess.
- 1:29:19Yeah. Like we, we really, really
- 1:29:21bonded. At that trip, like full fucking

- 1:33:25I didn't know how to Tandem and nothing like that and Frank.
- 1:33:29He's like, yo, your car has to be done and it has to look sick
- 1:33:33one month and year out in tandem with us.
- 1:33:36I'm like, freaking out like what the fuck?
- 1:33:39Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we did it.
- 1:33:48But now it's something to mention at the same time, this
- 1:33:54is happening. Justin decides that wise Fab is
- 1:33:56the best thing ever. So he puts a wise Fab on his car
- 1:33:59and like, redoes this whole front end.
- 1:34:01And now, the wheels are sticking out like five feet.
- 1:34:03He put flares on the fenders, it looks like shit.
- 1:34:06Like dude what are you doing? Man just so happens.
- 1:34:09Origin releases the type 3 Fender I was gonna say it
- 1:34:11doesn't even look like that in that.
- 1:34:13Thank God that for origin. That's a furry.
- 1:34:15Yeah, because Justin would have went there with some bolted on
- 1:34:18fucking fender flares, like a Jeep Wrangler.
- 1:34:20So I advise that Jim. Yeah, so he got wise a
- 1:34:24boyfriend. So Justin whether you and you
- 1:34:26just did a two front. So you were like, I'll let me
- 1:34:29just put this shit on. So, in my head I'm like this,
- 1:34:31it's never gonna work but let's see what I have.
- 1:34:34It's like confusing, but my Front wheels are like plus 50 or
- 1:34:39something. Oh, there.
- 1:34:40S two thousand types that are like some crazy.
- 1:34:43Spect. It still looks good with Weiss
- 1:34:45Fab well, you did. But we figured all that out.
- 1:34:47Yeah, we figured all that out. Was like, lot of somehow bill.
- 1:34:51Yeah, it was a lot of work to figure that out by wheels.
- 1:34:54Don't clear stock s13 front calipers?
- 1:34:57Because of the wise, man? Wait, no.
- 1:34:59Because of the offset. Oh, and my stock calipers, like,
- 1:35:04take a flat surface to the So the caliper to make the all this
- 1:35:08fucking dumb shit to make wise Fab work with fenders prior to
- 1:35:11an event. Yeah, one of the largest event
- 1:35:13and this mind you this is why is that one?
- 1:35:15Like this is the shit. Like yours wasn't just cut and
- 1:35:19welded to the. Oh yeah.
- 1:35:21Because they're like crashed it at some point, my car is rough.
- 1:35:27It's not very nice, but my first time Tandem and ever is final
- 1:35:32bout to literally and show ever. Well, actually, that's that
- 1:35:37photo never tended to before ever just lied to, but they're
- 1:35:42like, you have to come the front.
- 1:35:44Yeah. Yeah, the front.
- 1:35:46We're like Scott. Just just drive to the like
- 1:35:48you're alone and we'll figure everything else.
- 1:35:50Out his practice laps were terrible parents.
- 1:36:01Who else? Yes, for always obsessed.
- 1:36:08That was our first big road trip.
- 1:36:09Yeah, we're good friends. How did that event go for real?
- 1:36:12Fucking amazing. Amazing came in second place.
- 1:36:14Yeah, and I'm sort of in first, but robbed, a little bit.
- 1:36:20Who was first risky? W-was it.
- 1:36:22Risky to your Idols, spun on as the home team Advantage, really?
- 1:36:34Okay? That makes more sense.
- 1:36:37Obviously we were. And no no no.
- 1:36:44They were third then I'm very he planned.
- 1:36:46Exactly. Did I just make up that weren't
- 1:36:50second risky? It was the first place.
- 1:36:53No dude. I know I know we place but
- 1:36:55whatever it was it was anyway, we're Podium.
- 1:37:00There's a lot of shit going on to because the whole time this
- 1:37:02bullshit is going on. Fucking Larry phrase that the
- 1:37:06whole time, this event is going on all this bullshit going on
- 1:37:09with fucking east coast and like West Coast fucking club.
- 1:37:13Loose drivers are talking shit on the event and like they're
- 1:37:16talking shit about like I think animal style or something
- 1:37:19everyone. So mean while we're there and
- 1:37:21we're repping Club lose, we all have like love Blues banners on
- 1:37:24her car and I'm like a huge fan. It wasn't my fault.
- 1:37:28I don't know. Whoever it was was talking shit
- 1:37:30to someone about like yeah you guys only use second gear and
- 1:37:34all this shit. That's where that originated.
- 1:37:36And I think and meanwhile the track is a literally a fucking
- 1:37:39go-kart track. So yeah second gear is going to
- 1:37:41be the one you're in, but I don't know.
- 1:37:43I was just crazy to see and then I remember Remember, we got that
- 1:37:47photo like Connor crook took that photo of us stacked up on
- 1:37:51the wall and I was like dude. Yeah, thank God for that
- 1:37:54photograph because it just fucking made everything worth
- 1:37:57it. But yeah, I don't know this shit
- 1:37:59talking was funny, but we weren't really involved in it,
- 1:38:02but it was funny. That was so you're just kind of
- 1:38:03like yeah, it's it was just funny.
- 1:38:04I was going on while you're there while you were there.
- 1:38:06Yeah. And another cool thing that
- 1:38:08happened, he probably doesn't even know that this meant
- 1:38:11anything to me. Derek from drift faction was
- 1:38:13there and he came over to us after we did our Runs.
- 1:38:17And he was like, he came over to me, and was like, Yo, dude, you
- 1:38:20guys are awesome. Drivers all this to like, and
- 1:38:23just gave me props. And in my head, I was like,
- 1:38:25damn, like that lifted the weight of the whole drift action
- 1:38:28thing off my shoulders, like I was like, oh, wow.
- 1:38:31Like he'd fuck. He's fucking awesome.
- 1:38:32So after that moment, I felt a lot better about this situation
- 1:38:36and you not then I mean after that I feel like then then it
- 1:38:40was like factionless. Yeah.
- 1:38:42I was more like confident about it.
- 1:38:43Yeah, I was like okay cool. But yeah, we We that was
- 1:38:47definitely something I remember so but yeah, Scott's practice
- 1:38:50laps were shit. I remember my e-brake was barely
- 1:38:52working. I was like panicking changing
- 1:38:54brake pads. I remember I was like, sneaking
- 1:38:56beers and just like chugging beers, like, like trying to get
- 1:39:01as drunk as I could. Because I was, I was getting
- 1:39:06crushed with Scott for his prep, the photo of all the beers in
- 1:39:11your wheel. Yeah, that's what I was gonna
- 1:39:13say. Is that where that food?
- 1:39:14It is for sure, but So Scott made it happen man.
- 1:39:18You pulled that shit out of his ass and just fucking you fucking
- 1:39:21lay down a good lead line and we just followed it and that was
- 1:39:24it. Yeah, seriously.
- 1:39:26Yeah. That was amazing.
- 1:39:28And then after that we do Club loose events and shit.
- 1:39:30And but I think our first like competition lap so I first
- 1:39:34competition left Frankie like I like, I don't know, I fucked up
- 1:39:39the entry turn every time I like still feel like I fucked it up
- 1:39:43and I'm like, okay, I'm like gonna crash but like it was like
- 1:39:46Frankie railed into like my back wheel and I kind of like fixed
- 1:39:52my like Andre and I was like oh my God.
- 1:40:16Yeah, but dude can we talk about how good your fucking car?
- 1:40:20Looks got really good Scott. The car Scott's car went from
- 1:40:24the worst car I've ever seen in my life, to my favorite drift
- 1:40:27car on the east coast and like one month.
- 1:40:30Hey, look a rubber bands. Yeah, no.
- 1:40:33For you would never think it had wise Fab the way like The Stance
- 1:40:36wasn't everything. I was like, damn, this thing is
- 1:40:38perfect. I feel are still exists you.
- 1:40:41When you do you still have that quietly still have the car?
- 1:40:44Hussein came over to the car and was checking out the well.
- 1:40:47Oh, was it? What's his face from Chicago?
- 1:40:51Fred Fred, right. It's Fred Fred with the RX-7,
- 1:40:55his last name, the local dude. Yes.
- 1:40:57Local old Japanese dudes fucking came over.
- 1:40:59He's like look at the Y's Fab like, it's from another planet
- 1:41:03and he's like, sticking his head in the wheel just turn like
- 1:41:06this. He's watching Scott, turn the
- 1:41:08wheel and he just keeps going he's like so he was loving it
- 1:41:13but yeah. So Out that's fine about to.
- 1:41:15It was a really good time. Like, AJ said, it was a bonding
- 1:41:18experience for everyone. It was our first road trip.
- 1:41:21What's really is Yo, you know what?
- 1:41:25That's why you look familiar to me.
- 1:41:27Scott. Some is because it's like video
- 1:41:29of my favorite Clips. Okay.
- 1:41:31When I first met Frankie shit. One of the first things I know
- 1:41:35about Frankie is, I'm like, damn because if you got those who are
- 1:41:39listening, if you have the time, go to YouTube Type in final bout
- 1:41:42to like Roman numeral 2. There's like a, I think it's
- 1:41:45like a thirty eight minute video.
- 1:41:47Absolute great video to watch her.
- 1:41:48Think fun. Keep drifting fun.
- 1:41:50Oh yeah. That's what you guys are.
- 1:41:51You guys are the cover that video And it's the opposite side
- 1:41:55of this photo. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:41:56From the judging to the the, there's a clip in there of
- 1:42:00Frankie. I don't know if it's Frankie or
- 1:42:02if it's just as Deaver. But he's sitting on a wheel and
- 1:42:07he's just like, yeah, nobody really cares.
- 1:42:10Unless your car looks good. Okay.
- 1:42:14Misquoting, a little bit. That's, that's it.
- 1:42:16I think that shit is fucking end of the day.
- 1:42:19If your car doesn't look good. No, no, no.
- 1:42:21Nobody. I'll back you up style is
- 1:42:31everything. You don't care about that then
- 1:42:33cool, that's good for you. Yeah, that is literally what you
- 1:42:36sound like and that's so funny that we're talking about this
- 1:42:39because that's the video. One of that's where you
- 1:42:40recognize Scott from. That's where I recognize you
- 1:42:42from. Okay, can we just talk about
- 1:42:44that too? Fucking fucking what's its
- 1:42:46knees? His face will from keep drifting
- 1:42:49fun comes over. Yeah, we want to interview you
- 1:42:50guys. I was like, are we in a fucking
- 1:42:51dream right now? That whole event is like, what
- 1:42:55the fuck is going on, right? But I still remember that.
- 1:42:59Like, this is insane. Meanwhile, this guy hasn't even
- 1:43:02tandem before. Yeah, that was crazy.
- 1:43:06I really like you guys didn't win, but you were, like, lifted
- 1:43:10up in the air. We were, we were like, it was
- 1:43:12like 40 people from the East Coast all dressed in black.
- 1:43:16I forgot about that everyone was in black and I remember there's
- 1:43:21the Chicago. Guys are other I'm not.
- 1:43:23Yeah, faction, yeah, they're all the girl, in the announced on
- 1:43:25the spirit wearing all black kind of weird. 90 degrees out.
- 1:43:31Yeah, dude, it was fun but everyone came out.
- 1:43:35Mike power was there? Like everyone just came out and
- 1:43:38hang out? Yeah.
- 1:43:39Yeah. That was like when I really got
- 1:43:41to know Connor to well, you know, Connor before that.
- 1:43:43Yeah, Connor came out to film, but it was like, it was like the
- 1:43:46same situation. Third, third.
- 1:43:52One, the third one, maybe, yeah, no II.
- 1:43:54Didn't mean Billy until Yeah. The next year John next team to
- 1:43:59him at the old trailer, the trailer.
- 1:44:05So like we had to get a ride there like we had a way to pay
- 1:44:08people to clean enough we pay that we had to have paid them
- 1:44:11but yeah yeah but I remember like before final bout to like
- 1:44:16Frankie's car Justin's car and then my car when it somehow got
- 1:44:19done like the night we loaded it on a trailer it got down that
- 1:44:23morning was sick like I never saw a Or that good-looking
- 1:44:27before, until it was, like it done now.
- 1:44:30And it's like, what is going on? And then we show up to final bow
- 1:44:34and it's everybody else's car looks just as good if not better
- 1:44:37and he was like, what is going on?
- 1:44:40Yeah, how are there this many people with this crazy of God?
- 1:44:43How did you feel when you saw those cars like coming from Club
- 1:44:45lose? Do you like hope looses?
- 1:44:48It's like whatever trash can somehow still roll down the
- 1:44:52road. They like you're good.
- 1:44:53Yeah, you're fine. Yeah.
- 1:44:55Then we go to like Final bow and I think it was open, not only
- 1:44:58Factory realize a factory realize like Dave ol upon an
- 1:45:0418-wheeler with like all their cars and I was just like, wow,
- 1:45:08we're nothing like this is unreal.
- 1:45:11No, that was breaking. That was breaking Rihanna.
- 1:45:14They came on the 18-wheeler. I think Auto Factory realizes I
- 1:45:18think they might have been okay. Oh, maybe all matching color.
- 1:45:26Matching. But the dirt is my favorite
- 1:45:28pretty strip club in America for sure.
- 1:45:31Yeah. The way the cars I was like,
- 1:45:33yeah, we're not going to win but then they drive in the driving
- 1:45:40is like, like, okay, we're we still have a chance because not
- 1:45:43to hate, but I remember like the driving not that strong, the
- 1:45:46driving was not good. It was like the drive, we're
- 1:45:49better. Now, we were watching a driving.
- 1:45:50I mean even when me and you went the first time we were like I'll
- 1:45:53be driving not good. But the cars look amazing.
- 1:45:56Yeah, but they're now, don't get me wrong.
- 1:45:58There's people there that can drive, but the majority of it
- 1:46:02was not a, from a competitor. You're saying to be clear.
- 1:46:05Like, Yeah, from a competitive standpoint, you're like, okay,
- 1:46:07you just knew right away, like East Coast.
- 1:46:11Was that was the driving like the in the driving is coming
- 1:46:14from the East Coast, like for the majority soaked, a good
- 1:46:16Drifters and maybe the West Coast.
- 1:46:18We still don't know if we got second or third or whatever it
- 1:46:22was. But like there, I was a sea
- 1:46:26group driver English. Yeah.
- 1:46:30When we went there? Yeah, that's a good fact.
- 1:46:32Yeah, like I was a singer of driver and we got second or
- 1:46:35third or whatever. That won't even know I tell,
- 1:46:39Frankie this all the time, that's like, That's like a goal
- 1:46:41of mine like I would like to drive there.
- 1:46:44And let me, let me say something before we get fucking roasted
- 1:46:48for that. The driving has gotten way
- 1:46:50better from Chicago. Yeah, area.
- 1:46:52The Midwest way cream way better than it was then like shredding.
- 1:46:56Yeah. Come it's completely different
- 1:46:58because when we went it was like, all right, we got some
- 1:47:01competition. But we felt pretty confident.
- 1:47:02I'm our biggest competition was if Scott could link the track
- 1:47:05and not spin out that way. I was like if that if that
- 1:47:09happens, we're good. Like, but now the driving from,
- 1:47:13there is good, it's pretty, it's pretty awesome.
- 1:47:15Like Glee like a.j. was saying, gleam, do degree, I mostly just
- 1:47:19good. I followed gleam.
- 1:47:20I don't know any of those people.
- 1:47:22Yeah, as I was, you know, like, I don't really know anybody, but
- 1:47:24I follow gleam like, specifically that Skyline.
- 1:47:27Yeah, birth. And he's like, yeah, with a
- 1:47:30Miata to, that's 13B. That gleam Miata.
- 1:47:33Yeah. Favorite car of ever?
- 1:47:35So cool? Right?
- 1:47:36Like I followed a for forever and I've never, I've never even
- 1:47:39met the dude that's part of Reason why I'm like, oh I know,
- 1:47:41kind of know what is it. There's an in-car video of me
- 1:47:44and him tanning at like one of those events after that.
- 1:47:46And it's like the most intense in can't in-car footage of my
- 1:47:50car drifting because he's like, on my door.
- 1:47:53Like I was like the contest, right?
- 1:47:55Yeah. That was the Super D1.
- 1:47:57Super deal with dams. Guys, fucking crazy now.
- 1:48:02He's really good. Yeah.
- 1:48:02The drive has gotten a lot better since then.
- 1:48:04He's got like the 15-inch Vienna's like, on my car.
- 1:48:07Oh yeah. There's the coolest be
- 1:48:10everywhere. Are you want that event was
- 1:48:11great? Anyway.
- 1:48:12Yeah, we probably stop talking about that but it was a
- 1:48:15life-changing event for everyone.
- 1:48:17And then after then, as yeah, as you guys you can only imagine it
- 1:48:21kind of solidified faction. For a little while.
- 1:48:25And then, you know, there's probably been some restructuring
- 1:48:27and shit like that, but it's kind of cool that you still have
- 1:48:29this group with you, though. Like, yeah, it's definitely been
- 1:48:32a lot of restructuring, but I mean, Scott's gone.
- 1:48:35He's down team right there. He's down, North Carolina.
- 1:48:38So yeah, but he's got to ship a car up here.
- 1:48:41Yeah, yeah. Any one of your Justin's games
- 1:48:45are you are you drifting and stuff still?
- 1:48:46Or do you still know down below? No, he doesn't drive anymore.
- 1:48:50You just have even a lie right now.
- 1:48:51So you just have like 17 thousand cars.
- 1:48:54And and spongy, and don't drip any yeah.
- 1:48:58That's Car Lot. Yes.
- 1:48:59Got so used car dealer but, but what about your drift car?
- 1:49:03How's it like the car you brought the van about to I have
- 1:49:05you still run saying isn't like the same the same.
- 1:49:08That's what I never touched him like his cars.
- 1:49:14Like the hair Gucci like car like shit in the woods.
- 1:49:17Shit pretty much. What's the deal with that one?
- 1:49:20Because like I remember I think you drove it at two different
- 1:49:24And events and both of them. Usually fine about 30 cars.
- 1:49:30Well most style Heroes. I think I did one successful
- 1:49:35East Coast bash with it but that was about it.
- 1:49:37You sweat. Yeah, you swapped one J into he
- 1:49:39got rid of the are be 20. Yeah.
- 1:49:41But I know I was pretty upset about that but how could you be
- 1:49:44upset about on? 1 J is our be 20 is just a piece
- 1:49:47of RV 20s. Got that street cred, it does it
- 1:49:49does. Yeah, and Nissan the Nissan?
- 1:49:52Yes, I already 22 shot the street.
- 1:49:55He's on to me. It's like the struggle engine.
- 1:49:57You struggle, which the struggle has an R&B 20 Scott?
- 1:50:00You want it struggle, Parker? Alright.
- 1:50:03So another funny thing is like, when we were getting ready for
- 1:50:07final bout, we registered our cars into the name of that
- 1:50:11fucking car show. Oh, first class spent
- 1:50:14first-class fitment because our cars were meant.
- 1:50:18We took photos of them and we send it in.
- 1:50:19They were like yeah, you guys are good, you can come.
- 1:50:23And then We get back to Minnesota is a very prestigious
- 1:50:26prestigious. Yeah.
- 1:50:28Dance like clean? Yeah.
- 1:50:30Whatever. So we get in and then we do find
- 1:50:32about bumpers are destroyed, everything's like totaled, and
- 1:50:35we're like, all right, we're coming.
- 1:50:37So we just roll in and we're all like, yeah, these guys are gonna
- 1:50:39be so mad and we roll in and they're like, yo, this shit is
- 1:50:43sick and we like, what we're all like, we thought we were like,
- 1:50:47like pranking these guys and they were just like, put it.
- 1:50:49They put us in the front of everything like three cars.
- 1:50:52Stacked up. It was sick, but I did not
- 1:50:54expect it, and that's what I that's when we all realized.
- 1:50:57Like, oh, people think drift cars are like, cool, people, who
- 1:50:59don't drift. Like, you guys had the only
- 1:51:02sweet looking cars that were actually used and abused it
- 1:51:04though Place. Yeah.
- 1:51:06Yells trailered their cars there.
- 1:51:08I'm getting that timeline right, right.
- 1:51:12I think I am. Yeah, somewhere around there.
- 1:51:14We also did a I did miss something though.
- 1:51:17We did the second Christmas video before that before final
- 1:51:21bout 4. No nothing about Ever After
- 1:51:26final bout for sure. That's when you guys set the
- 1:51:29internet'll, I know it was wrecked cars.

- 1:51:54We'll be like olfaction. Did that first?
- 1:51:57Do you like ended a better? Yeah I remember seeing that and
- 1:52:00I was at night is some yeah that video definitely Libby internet
- 1:52:05on fire for sure that that night.
- 1:52:08Okay, so well what I'm having this weird memory of replacing
- 1:52:13my engine. Did I do that?
- 1:52:17Maybe I did, but I'm, but I'm trying to sounds.
- 1:52:19That sounds kind of familiar. Why didn't you spin a bearing?
- 1:52:24Yeah, you Or is that the one with the dinosaur connecting
- 1:52:27rod? Yeah, what you're talking about,
- 1:52:31but yeah, I think you've been a rock earlier that day.
- 1:52:34Then we drove to Justin's to wrap Justin's car in my car and
- 1:52:39I like a lost my shit. It's really weird because I'm
- 1:52:42looking for was that when you had the mental breakdown, that
- 1:52:44happens a lot around here. Yeah, I remember going there
- 1:52:47with Billy and being like well, so after that we went to I went
- 1:52:58to H2O And I that is where I could.
- 1:53:01I move it a raised, man cover. Broke my oil.
- 1:53:03Remember we talked about this so that's where I fixed.
- 1:53:07It drove home, everything was good but then we went out
- 1:53:09drifting a couple nights and all of a sudden rod knock so we had
- 1:53:13to rebuild an engine that we got.
- 1:53:15We got random parts from all over because we had a timeline
- 1:53:18for the stupid Christmas video isn't and yeah always stress
- 1:53:22like Christmas. Yeah so we're putting up with
- 1:53:24the hoodie. So So we put this rebuilt engine
- 1:53:33that Justin through together pretty much in my garage with
- 1:53:36random internals from different engines.
- 1:53:39We install that in my car while you guys were wrapping my car,
- 1:53:43right? He was starting to wrap it.
- 1:53:44Justin's car was done. He did it by himself, pretty
- 1:53:47much. Yeah.
- 1:53:48So and people probably don't understand, unless they try to,
- 1:53:53if they tried to do this, after we did it, then they understand
- 1:53:56it is not easy to do that and make it look good.
- 1:54:00It takes a long time. You have you ever see the
- 1:54:03pictures of cars that do that? And they look like shit.
- 1:54:07It looks like dog. Yeah, because it just looks like
- 1:54:10a bunch of paper on a car. Yeah, I'm really glad that we
- 1:54:12took our time because it really shows in the photos.
- 1:54:15Yeah, I do know, for sure. We're talking about the wrapping
- 1:54:18here, like, Christmas tree. So, were you there that night?
- 1:54:20We were at Justin's house and okay, people losing their shit.
- 1:54:24Yeah, I think I got a phone call and said I'll pass what do they
- 1:54:28come? Yeah, you're like Help and I was
- 1:54:30like, I'm good. Oh yeah, I was probably asking
- 1:54:32everyone. Yeah, yeah, we should get out of
- 1:54:35here. So we're at Justin's now, my car
- 1:54:37is, I will finishing my car and Scott's cars there and we're
- 1:54:42working on his car. And then, what you were, you
- 1:54:44were over it. I was like, losing my mind.
- 1:54:48I'm like outside Basin in circles.
- 1:54:50I'm like, this is not happening. Like, Fuck this.
- 1:54:53I'm going home. Fuck.
- 1:54:55All of you. Yeah, never talking to you
- 1:54:56again. Like, I remember he was out.
- 1:55:00He was outside since shit. And I was like, I was like just
- 1:55:03tell him he's off the fucking team of it if he doesn't like
- 1:55:06me. And I don't think I said unto
- 1:55:08you, but someone said that to you or something, and then your
- 1:55:12whole entire car was wrapped, but you didn't do the taillight
- 1:55:16garnish. Yeah.
- 1:55:17He was like, fuck this. I'm leaving.
- 1:55:20I'll see this. Gonna take two minutes but okay.
- 1:55:23So if you look in the photos in the videos and shit, only his
- 1:55:25tail like garnish is the oldest. But anyway, so we do that and
- 1:55:29then we fill Video all over the place and ends up being a really
- 1:55:33good viral video. Yeah, that definitely that's,
- 1:55:36that's the season. Greetings that pi.
- 1:55:38And yeah, that. Yeah.
- 1:55:40So that was like, what the fuck is this like night before so,
- 1:55:43fucking crazy? Crazy.
- 1:55:45So mad, I remember my dad, I'd like went home.
- 1:55:47My dad's, like, if you get arrested tomorrow, I'm not
- 1:55:50bailing you out of jail. I'm like yeah, whatever, I don't
- 1:55:56care. Hey, we're down.
- 1:55:58At this point. I'm fine.
- 1:56:00Go to jail. I'm so angry and everything.
- 1:56:03I don't even want to like be here.
- 1:56:05Yeah, I'm gonna say where the turn was but I remember somebody
- 1:56:09gave me a camera. I was the guy filming this one.
- 1:56:12My power was there with his truck, right?
- 1:56:14Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:56:15I'm standing out on an on ramp with an elf hat on just like
- 1:56:23they didn't come come into the turn drifting for a while.
- 1:56:25I'm just standing out there like baby, pretty weird.
- 1:56:30So you're the one that got that footage.
- 1:56:33Oh, shit. That was the best footage of the
- 1:56:35whole thing next to the armor. Yeah, broad daylight.
- 1:56:39So that, yeah, and then fucking Mike power fucking where I live,
- 1:56:42dives into that on really like he's in a fucking trophy truck
- 1:56:45with Connor and the bed like trying to film this and then
- 1:56:47we're just chasing them and fucking oh my e break, wasn't
- 1:56:51working the whole day, it was locking up.
- 1:56:53So every time I would rip it it would just get stuck.
- 1:56:56And I have to like push it down and I only found that out.
- 1:57:00Out on that on-ramp, that was the first time it did it and I
- 1:57:02was like, so, if you watch the video, you'll see we're
- 1:57:05drifting. And then I just straighten out
- 1:57:07of nowhere and it's because my e-brake just got in and locked
- 1:57:10up, and I was like fighting it. That was clearly honest.
- 1:57:13Man thing, like Hank. Yeah, you can really go back.
- 1:57:16So I was like Jurassic as you want to fix that all day and it
- 1:57:19really wasn't working but we made it happen.
- 1:57:21Somehow mind you like Scott said, you really didn't have too
- 1:57:25much see time? No, that was my first definitely
- 1:57:28First Street drift. Here like yeah.
- 1:57:35And then the other footage as in Scotts car with like no
- 1:57:40seatbelt. Like I'm gonna die.

- 1:59:40Yeah. If I'm about to.
- 1:59:41Yeah. Connor about that.
- 1:59:43I don't know, maybe he'll find out who didn't like have the
- 1:59:45footage and then they lost in the mail.
- 1:59:47They sent a home. Once a hard drive Mike was
- 1:59:51sending a hard drive to Connor to edit it and it got lost in
- 1:59:53the mail, there was some gold. There's yes, UPS got it, there
- 1:59:58have been watching it in their and their break room for years.
- 2:00:00Yeah. Alright, so the next event, the
- 2:00:03next big major event is the I'm going to call the Abu moon
- 2:00:08event. I don't know what it was
- 2:00:09actually called Low, so it was low style Heroes.
- 2:00:12Yeah. Lifestyle Heroes May 2017.
- 2:00:14So this is when they brought a bun out here and well, my idol.
- 2:00:19Yeah. How about Scott?
- 2:00:22They brought his car out. Well, what's his face?
- 2:00:25His car, not the whole day to bring the whole team out here.
- 2:00:27That we were kind of crazy but Yeah, they brought almost car
- 2:00:32out here, dude. I'm just looking at this photo
- 2:00:34right now. It's fucking unreal.
- 2:00:36That's another that photo of me drifting with him is another
- 2:00:38like moment where it's like, is this a dream?
- 2:00:40I did someone photoshopped this. Yeah, that's when you made it.
- 2:00:43Yeah. Yeah, to me, this is still my
- 2:00:46cover photo, I think on my Facebook because I'm just like
- 2:00:48it is because I was, I don't know why I was on your Facebook.
- 2:00:52I think I was trying to send you a message or something another
- 2:00:54and it was up and I was like, what the fuck?
- 2:00:56Is that another event? Where my car was not working?
- 2:00:59Like I couldn't drift, what was it?
- 2:01:00Couldn't drift. Let right Riley because it was
- 2:01:03too low at the time. I don't know.
- 2:01:04I mean most all heroes, you know, you gotta be low.
- 2:01:07Yeah. No.
- 2:01:07But something was fucked up with the front end so every time I go
- 2:01:11to charts drift, right? Just wanted to spin out like
- 2:01:14every time it was so hard to control it.
- 2:01:16I don't know what we found out. I think it was something with
- 2:01:18the tension, rod. Maybe, I don't know what was
- 2:01:20that? Middle of nowhere.
- 2:01:23Virginia West, Virginia Westbrook.
- 2:01:26Some Shenandoah. Was that a first?
- 2:01:30The event there because we, I know we went back with Justin.
- 2:01:34I never rode for you now, that ago.
- 2:01:38Yeah, Justin was here. Yeah.
- 2:01:40Oh, so it's gone by this point is s13, was gone.
- 2:01:44This was his Presa. Do with the km missile on it.
- 2:01:47Oh yeah, he got Amber b. N BN sorts out at this event.
- 2:01:53Somebody had to be n. Everyone was out there.
- 2:01:55Why did he get rid of his car? Does anyone remember they sold
- 2:01:58it, sold it Yeah, this is Justin's like second time.
- 2:02:03Selling a car for no reason thinking he's going to stop
- 2:02:04drifting so he got rid of his s13 and then a week later
- 2:02:09decided I gotta get a drift car again.
- 2:02:11So bought a Cressida that's so wild which is still directing I
- 2:02:15still I think I see that. Yeah so but you can already see
- 2:02:24it's 2016 and this is already falling apart.
- 2:02:27It's Justin's car is gone and now he has a Cressida.
- 2:02:29I mean I guess it's not Falling apart because he actually does
- 2:02:32make it look good eventually. So this isn't this, isn't it
- 2:02:35fall apart? You know already moved away by
- 2:02:37to Scott's gone. Yeah.
- 2:02:39So you'd go to that event. Yeah you didn't cause like I'm
- 2:02:42came that sort of a when he did the burnout in the know burnout
- 2:02:45area burn out there was like a little place you shouldn't do
- 2:02:54and it looked like a hundred outside foot by 5 foot.
- 2:02:57Barely enough for a car. Yeah and you were like well I
- 2:03:00guess Is a burnout box, only place.
- 2:03:03You're not allowed to do a burden, and Front Street came
- 2:03:05with us to that event. That's, that's what we, I think.
- 2:03:07We got close to Front Street. That was the whole Rolls-Royce.
- 2:03:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ethan made a whole new team.
- 2:03:13We Fe drivers at that event or we mean you don't drop names,
- 2:03:20you could talk if I don't drop it and there's a certain f d
- 2:03:22Drive of that. I hate for no reason, Jeff.
- 2:03:30Called me out for doing a burnout, their own Instagram.
- 2:03:35We put you on blast, put me on blast.
- 2:03:37We're doing a burnout at the event that everybody did
- 2:03:40burnouts that, but I did it on the one square foot of property
- 2:03:45are not allowed to do it. Yeah, and that's why I'm
- 2:03:50thinking of, right? Jeff Marlo.
- 2:03:53Oh, he called you out on other, Jeff, that's a formula.
- 2:04:00Hey or may not have had a junkyard attached to the.
- 2:04:02Yeah. Once upon a time I got you now.
- 2:04:05Okay, well either way, that was fucking hilarious.
- 2:04:07So fuck them, it wasn't Larry. But yeah I don't I remember that
- 2:04:11and dude I just remember that was that was Rowdy.
- 2:04:14Well, that was our first notes per strip.
- 2:04:16Every we went on after final bout to.
- 2:04:19So and that was the first trip with Front Street ever.
- 2:04:22So remember that was That was one that I actually came out to.
- 2:04:26Yeah, I know. Yeah.
- 2:04:27That was like last minute. I was ready to bail, right
- 2:04:30before we left. Yeah, funniest thing.
- 2:04:34So it, this event was freezing, cold shouldn't have.
- 2:04:38It wasn't supposed to be cold. So what happens when you're in
- 2:04:40the mountains? Yeah, they put, it was really
- 2:04:43cold. And the only one that brought
- 2:04:44sweatshirts is Frankie, but Frankie sweatshirts were
- 2:04:48t-shirts. Oh, you're talking with the
- 2:04:51hoods long sleeve t-shirt with a So everyone bottom because it
- 2:04:57was cold, but it didn't actually help any, because it was just a
- 2:05:00long sleeve t-shirt with a hood, which one was that?
- 2:05:03Oh, that was that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:05:06So that was when we started selling merch to injure, it was
- 2:05:09like, sold out of all of them, but everyone was still cold.
- 2:05:12It was like a t-shirt. Yeah, that hoodie was horrible.
- 2:05:15The design is awesome, but awesome hoodie.
- 2:05:18Like not are the cool, so you did Low style.
- 2:05:25Yeah, with Front Street now. Yeah, that'll be another story.
- 2:05:29I feel like I want to, I want to ask them how that when we get
- 2:05:32Josh or someone on here. Yeah for sure.
- 2:05:34But also and then it's final about 33 or specials.
- 2:05:39I tried to be Scott at special stage, it didn't work out when
- 2:05:42AJ broke. Wait, when oh Angie and my car.

- 2:06:31another final bout at Wisconsin before the one that we went to.
- 2:06:36Does that make sense? Or no?
- 2:06:38It was probably called something else.
- 2:06:39Like, so because I'm seeing photos.
- 2:06:43Yeah. Remember, we brought the
- 2:06:44Crescent of there? Oh, Justin.

- 2:11:20show them. Like they came, they came all
- 2:11:22right, so the cops pull up this guy's one kind of line now.
- 2:11:26So he's all right. So he comes up and he's like,
- 2:11:31he's like, what's going on over here?
- 2:11:32Meanwhile, it's kind of hard to hide things because there's
- 2:11:35literally cars in pieces. Everything's sanded, like
- 2:11:39thinking of walked up to Me first and he's like, are you
- 2:11:42both Vino Junior? And I was like, no, no, that's
- 2:11:44not me. It's that guy who comes over in
- 2:11:52my head. I'm like, well, we're fucked.
- 2:11:54Like they're gonna, they're gonna shut this down.
- 2:11:56So he walks over. He's like You guys doing, I'm
- 2:11:59like, well, we got an event tomorrow or like, like two days
- 2:12:05and he's like, so we get, you know, we had to paint the cars
- 2:12:07and this and that like, you couldn't hide it.
- 2:12:09It was a fucking, and he two days in the drive, across the
- 2:12:11country. We built a paint booth out of a
- 2:12:14carport. We cut holes in the sides.
- 2:12:17We put exhaust fans in there to get the dust out like, dude.
- 2:12:21It was like it was pretty legit. Yes.
- 2:12:22I'll just do we put water on the ground.
- 2:12:24We had fucking shit. It was like a Dexter said.
- 2:12:28In there like we had plastic everywhere.
- 2:12:30So the cop shows up I'm like I'm just there's AJ in the corner.
- 2:12:34Just handing things. He's a Broken Man at this point.
- 2:12:37He's just covered in fucking somehow.
- 2:12:40I became like designated sander affection.
- 2:12:43I saw him break head like hover. I sanded it like three fucking
- 2:12:47times and Frank. He's like, no, you gotta send it
- 2:12:50again and I wanted to snap his neck.
- 2:12:56I learned what it was like to control.
- 2:12:58What is it as fucking fucking? What is this factories in China?
- 2:13:02Sweat the sweat. I literally remember walking up
- 2:13:07to to AJ and he was just standing the the headlight cover
- 2:13:12and he just like looked up to me and I just like saw his whole
- 2:13:15facial expression changed and you could just tell that was the
- 2:13:18point where he broke. I don't know single tear my
- 2:13:21time. Planes of a smell.
- 2:13:29I'm like, I'm sure you did. It's, and then, and then he's
- 2:13:32like, what do you think could be done?
- 2:13:33I'm like, hopefully in a couple hours.
- 2:13:36He's like, all right. Don't make any noise.
- 2:13:39Bye. It was like, what the fuck?
- 2:13:43I think it was because he knew your dad, I hope.
- 2:13:45But I don't think that's. I think that's what it was.
- 2:13:47Because I think I think he asked me if I don't, I don't think so,
- 2:13:51though. Vino jr.
- 2:13:52I think he said something, he definitely knew my dad for sure
- 2:13:54about your day, so yeah, if he didn't.
- 2:13:56We, I also remember as I don't think so.
- 2:13:58That was so rude, even mention painting outside and he
- 2:14:03mentioned, none of that. He just mentioned someone next
- 2:14:05door. Complain about a smell goodbye.
- 2:14:07Yeah, and I was like, Do you understand that this is like
- 2:14:10ridiculously illegal right now but that's what I was thinking
- 2:14:13illegal. Yeah. 100% the Epi also remember
- 2:14:16him pulling up. Yeah, we do that all the time.
- 2:14:25Yeah, let's not mention them again.
- 2:14:26But um well this is a long time ago.
- 2:14:31So anyway so he leaves and we're just looking around and I'm
- 2:14:33like, where's Jesse? I remember he pulled up and I
- 2:14:37looked up and Jesse was Has just gone.
- 2:14:39Like, I think he likes, he saw him coming from, like six miles
- 2:14:42away and he was already out. So, we're looking around like,
- 2:14:45where's Jesse? And then also in Jesse walks out
- 2:14:46of the backyard, he's like, yo, I'm like, where'd you go?
- 2:14:50He's like, I got a warrant, dude, I'm not fucking hanging
- 2:14:51around. He had warrants out every single
- 2:15:00week, like, I'm surprised like I had to pick him up from police
- 2:15:04stations, all over New Jersey, like Nom Nom, mostly West?
- 2:15:07Well yeah, the struggle is real. So, we paint my car and it comes
- 2:15:13out. Came out pretty good.
- 2:15:15No, it came out. Good after we had someone wet
- 2:15:18sand and buff it in the middle of the night, me and Dustin.
- 2:15:21No, no, we were wet sanding that for a while.
- 2:15:24And then when I think we gave up, what's his face from crafty
- 2:15:27people? Yes, somebody I remember me and
- 2:15:29him were sanding it at one party with them.
- 2:15:32This is a backyard paint job. Yeah, we're backyard paint job
- 2:15:37technically. Yeah, you painted.
- 2:15:38He painted his car in the bag. Literally nothing back.
- 2:15:40Yeah, I came out better. Yeah, they prepped your car.
- 2:15:47Maybe we wrapped it. Yeah, that's what you did.
- 2:15:50Yeah, you guys were all there. I feel like Scott did everything
- 2:15:53himself on that. I don't remember sanding Scott's
- 2:15:55calling us. God did everything because we
- 2:15:57were isolated and he did everything Justin, maybe a
- 2:15:59little. But yeah, I remember you were
- 2:16:01broken man to that night in Justin's garage and you try to
- 2:16:04fix the compressor. Yeah, because there's water just
- 2:16:07spraying out compressor on the paint.
- 2:16:10Oh, dude, it was bad. So many times.
- 2:16:12I remember just looking at Scott and Justin, they're just looking
- 2:16:14Carl. I hope you're ready for it.
- 2:16:15There's a faction will break you.
- 2:16:17Yeah. That was part of the gig.
- 2:16:18That was our kind of auto body shop.
- 2:16:20Yeah. Well, into Carl joining faction.
- 2:16:24We're getting there. So we didn't even know this.
- 2:16:27Yeah, so we go. Oh, so Jesse's car comes out
- 2:16:33like shit. We'll just get to that.
- 2:16:35This car was, his car was painted at 4:00 in the morning.
- 2:16:39Probably? I don't think I've even ever
- 2:16:41seen, we made. Sure you take pictures of Yeah,
- 2:16:46it was bad. So just at this point, just in
- 2:16:48is Justin's one painting. Justin's spraying spraying, the
- 2:16:51car going in his truck, going to sleep, waking up in 20 minutes.
- 2:16:55Coming back. A do another coat like, and
- 2:16:58everyone's gone. But Me, Maybe.

- 2:27:58slamming on the brakes and Jesse's like you know, you're
- 2:28:00good, you're good. Like because he's just as tired
- 2:28:02as me. Yeah.
- 2:28:03So we're like, communicating like we're both just
- 2:28:05hallucinating and so he like almost knows why I'm in the
- 2:28:08brakes. So he's like, like, like I'm
- 2:28:11hitting the brakes for no reason.
- 2:28:13You're good, you're good. You can hit those stalls in
- 2:28:20Scotts, there, we always say that.
- 2:28:25The only Hotel uh ACOG. Oh yeah.
- 2:28:27Her final battle. Yeah.
- 2:28:28So we pull in there I remember I get out of the car.
- 2:28:32I walk straight inside and say how do you I think, I think I
- 2:28:35way that you and I walk straight inside and I lay down and then
- 2:28:38everyone pissed me off. So I get back up and I go sleep
- 2:28:41in my truck here so shit happened.
- 2:28:43But yeah, ended up sleeping my truck and I literally passed out
- 2:28:45for fucking 10 hours. I think But anyway, were you
- 2:28:50saying, oh on the way to find out that out or anybody that's
- 2:28:54driven across the country before on Route 80, when you hit Ohio,
- 2:29:00there's these like like fans, like a windmill windmill not
- 2:29:08fans. We all right.
- 2:29:12But they like at night, the lights on them blink.
- 2:29:15And if you're Goin like 80 miles an hour, Every time the lights
- 2:29:19come on, they're in the same spot and it doesn't look like
- 2:29:23you're moving. And this road is like dead
- 2:29:26straight and lights just blink on and off in the same spot.
- 2:29:30Can you hear him in the? Yeah.
- 2:29:31And you like, you're like almost losing your mind because it
- 2:29:36looks like you're not moving and because the lights are just
- 2:29:40blinking on and off at the same spot, highway hypnosis.
- 2:29:44Yeah. To California.
- 2:29:49I was following him in the rent a car, and he was just a whole
- 2:29:53nother story, but yeah, it's been.
- 2:29:55That was true. He just likes.
- 2:29:57He goes from, like, driving like 65.
- 2:29:59Unlike an 80 mph road to like me and Jesse switch off.
- 2:30:03I'm gonna drive. Now, as soon as I take over
- 2:30:05driving Frank, he's just doing like 95, like a hundred, just
- 2:30:09trying to escape me a lying because that will like New
- 2:30:13Mexico in your mind. You're like, at that point, I
- 2:30:16didn't sleep for over 24 hours. And he was just like something
- 2:30:20like that. We are we were driving for 20
- 2:30:22hours straight. At least we drove through all of
- 2:30:24Texas. You legit thought we were like
- 2:30:26trying to kill him. Yeah it got to the point where I
- 2:30:28was paranoid and I thought they were trying to kill me.
- 2:30:31I can't wait to try to do that. That was my first panic attack
- 2:30:36to I've never had one. I didn't know what was going on.
- 2:30:38I was like I was like sweating and was literally right when
- 2:30:42we're pulling up to Hotel so it worked out but I was like all of
- 2:30:45a sudden I got chills and I was sweating and I was like the fuck
- 2:30:49is going on because like, I was, It was like, I was having crazy
- 2:30:53thoughts but I also still the same time knew I was having
- 2:30:56crazy thoughts but for some reason I couldn't get them out
- 2:30:58of my head. I don't know what that's called,
- 2:31:00but it was happening to me. We're like going up like the
- 2:31:02biggest hill I've ever seen in my life and New Mexico is yeah,
- 2:31:06it was really weird. I remember it was it might have
- 2:31:08been UFOs involved, I don't know.
- 2:31:10It was an English train. It was me and I just remember,
- 2:31:13Frankie thinking I wanted to kill you.
- 2:31:14Weren't there it was me and Emily in my car.
- 2:31:16So she was witnessing me hallucinate and we were driving
- 2:31:19and I was like, okay just hear me out.
- 2:31:21Like I was like I feel like you guys are tricking me and you're
- 2:31:27taking me somewhere to like you were like Tex not kill me.
- 2:31:31I like flying away from you and she's like what the fuck?
- 2:31:34I don't trust you guys and I literally was like hallucinating
- 2:31:37to that point where I was like I but I was like, I know I sound
- 2:31:40crazy but this is how I feel right now and then once we get
- 2:31:43into the town, fucking drenched in sweat.
- 2:31:47Shaking. I was like, what the fuck is
- 2:31:49going on? And I was like, oh, I guess it's
- 2:31:51a panic attack. So and then we get to the hotel
- 2:31:54room. I just fucking go right to bed
- 2:31:55and that was it, but I was like, holy shit anyway, that was on
- 2:31:59the way to California for super D, which was a year or two after
- 2:32:03their fun about three. So kind of works out.
- 2:32:07But and we because we drove across the country to go there
- 2:32:10Front Street ship their cars. So but yeah, that was like, that
- 2:32:14was, that was my first time like really hallucinating and and
- 2:32:18having a like sleep deprivation problems, but we also drove
- 2:32:23straight through Texas. So, yeah, I mean besides that it
- 2:32:26was still like another like life goal trip.
- 2:32:29It was so amazing. Like that is already thinking
- 2:32:31about if you want to just jump to that since that's definitely
- 2:32:33on my go. Yeah, it's that's two and a half
- 2:32:38hours. Yeah, this also is the worst
- 2:32:41state to drive through it. Never ends.
- 2:32:43Yeah, yeah. Right.
- 2:32:45I love Texas though. It's awesome.
- 2:32:47But yeah, so we'll see in the stars in Texas, like, remember
- 2:32:50any time you look up we told we pulled over remembered our could
- 2:32:52see every single store. These like I want to experience
- 2:32:56you were going on a trip because I know you're the same way I
- 2:32:58like doing that stuff. No one else really does except
- 2:33:00for you. I know that for a fact but yeah,
- 2:33:02it was did this with them? Yeah, fuck you.
- 2:33:15But then you were like I'm never gonna get this chance again.
- 2:33:17It was like really good timing. I like just got laid off from my
- 2:33:20job with them. It's like that's not a good
- 2:33:22thing but I definitely need to go then.
- 2:33:30Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:33:32I remember you saying like I'm never gonna have this chance
- 2:33:34again. So yeah exactly if I was working
- 2:33:36like that's such a big deal to take off that kind of time.
- 2:33:39Yeah I'm all gone for like two weeks, 5 days.
- 2:33:41No. We got there's a quick ones, but
- 2:33:46we got there for 25 days and we saw a fucking everything.

- 2:34:50Do you been a few times, dude? That's where you would feel
- 2:34:53about you. You would love it if you just
- 2:34:57imagine Jesse and Brendan an age, I just got drunk, like this
- 2:35:01dude. Just throw Brandon in the mix.
- 2:35:03It's just gonna be out of control the ride, huh?
- 2:35:06There's this long bridge out of a fucking New Orleans that goes
- 2:35:11to because New Orleans is I guess like kind of like an
- 2:35:15island setup or something like that.
- 2:35:16Yeah our hotel was like not in. Yeah, in the it's somewhere
- 2:35:20else. Yeah it wasn't French Quarter
- 2:35:22was somewhere else. So we're driving across this.
- 2:35:26I just I'll never forget that bridge.
- 2:35:27I wish Brandon was here to Sky was like bright red.
- 2:35:30It would you remember easy Brennan playing those fucking
- 2:35:33YouTube videos. Would like the yeah, it's like
- 2:35:35John Wayne screaming in the background member that shit.
- 2:35:37The guys on the mountain. It's like, one of those things
- 2:35:41you have to be there for. Like, it doesn't sound that fun?
- 2:35:44Yeah. We were just dying.
- 2:35:45I was, it was the funny whining. And I'm not fucking drunk.
- 2:35:48And I'm in tears, like the point where I can't even drive the car
- 2:35:52and Jessie screaming. No.
- 2:35:54Turn this shit off. Brendan lasting like, Smash
- 2:36:08Mouth, Shrek. Nobody home when he was, I would
- 2:36:12just keep going when he was on the loop songs and he just
- 2:36:15waterwheels, not gonna go there, go through Texas, this is and I
- 2:36:26mean, I guess it was kind of my doing, because I was like, oh,
- 2:36:28this is my firt. I've always wanted to go across
- 2:36:30the country in a car with my friends, so I was like, I'm
- 2:36:33taking this. I'm taking this opportunity, so
- 2:36:35I was stopping in all these spots meet all your friends are
- 2:36:38like, please get us. The Father, it's a good time
- 2:36:41about it. Yeah, it's really fun.
- 2:36:43Yeah, one was everyone was pretty good the way home.
- 2:36:45Maybe you got a little different but I don't really remember it
- 2:36:48stopping anywhere and being like I don't want to be here.
- 2:36:50Yeah, it was cool. We were am, we're all just want
- 2:36:53that feeling vibing if you will. Yeah, so then we go to Arizona,
- 2:36:59we meet up with my childhood friend, Tyler.
- 2:37:01He takes a shooting in the desert like all this shit do
- 2:37:04what the fuck? It was crazy and then we go to
- 2:37:06Las Vegas. We fucking spend a night in Las
- 2:37:08Vegas. Like And then we get to our
- 2:37:12Airbnb in California, where everyone else met us because
- 2:37:15they flew there. And that Airbnb was fucking
- 2:37:17amazing. That Airbnb was amazing.
- 2:37:19Lexi killed it. Yeah, absolutely killed it.
- 2:37:22Definitely she found the best spot.
- 2:37:24It was like it was like outside of the trap with a tracks in the
- 2:37:27middle of the desert. It was literally in the middle
- 2:37:29of nowhere. There was like, maybe one other
- 2:37:31house by it. It was like on a hillside.
- 2:37:35Yeah. Dude I can't was it was sick.
- 2:37:37I remember like had the coolest like fire pit, fire pit set up.
- 2:37:42It was like a fire pit bar just like all chairs around.
- 2:37:45It was so cool. Do when we got into Arizona, my
- 2:37:48life was my life is changed forever after it when we, when
- 2:37:52we were in Texas, through the Rolling Hills of tech West,
- 2:37:55Texas. And then into Arizona, do you
- 2:37:57remember those roads when we got into from New Mexico to Arizona?
- 2:38:01Where was like, you're going through mountains?
- 2:38:04I don't know if you lives almost like a Toge.
- 2:38:05It Look like an Indiana Jones. I was like, where am I?
- 2:38:09Yeah, you're talking about the same thing.
- 2:38:11Yeah, but it's fine. It was just like so surreal.
- 2:38:14Like I picture like man. This would be cool in a car.
- 2:38:16But yeah, I'm looking at like Frankie in a truck with this car
- 2:38:20on a trailer. Like what are we doing?
- 2:38:22Yeah, we took the car from Phoenix just to fuck around.
- 2:38:24But that was it. And then we went to fucking, we
- 2:38:29went to the Grand Canyon that we went through.
- 2:38:32We were at Phoenix and we're like, all right, fuck it and
- 2:38:34just went North for no reason. Just go.
- 2:38:35The Korean Canyon that was one of the.
- 2:38:37I wish we had more time at the Grand Canyon, because I didn't
- 2:38:40realize, like, how much the same there is explore their.
- 2:38:42It's not like just go see the Grand Canyon, ya know, it's
- 2:38:45crazy. Crazy.
- 2:38:46That's the one thing about like leading up there.
- 2:38:48There's the out when I when I would go there with my family, I
- 2:38:50look over and I'm like there's some definitely drifting that
- 2:38:54for sure, that trait that varies amazed, those turns are perfect
- 2:38:57like, everything's just so open and like the mountain views are
- 2:39:01nothing like we're used to. Yeah, so then we're all coming
- 2:39:04from Jersey like we do. Know what the fuck to expect.
- 2:39:07And we're like, our lives are just changed after that.
- 2:39:10And we obviously we didn't spend any time in any of these places.
- 2:39:14Probably New Orleans was the most time I was really fun.
- 2:39:17I really like when we were, like, just rolling around the
- 2:39:20strip in l.a. too. Yeah, I knocked out,
- 2:39:23unfortunately, because I didn't have a choice, but I remember
- 2:39:27you. And Jesse and Brennan had some
- 2:39:29stories. Yeah, we got crushed on
- 2:39:30margaritas, so we're in Vegas. Yeah, I think you were with us
- 2:39:34to know. I didn't, I I flew out there
- 2:39:36unless you're talking about in. Oh yeah, we went to at least, I
- 2:39:46went with Brian to that Mexican restaurant with somebody else
- 2:39:49and we got hammered, I think we met we were you ate.
- 2:39:52Was it us? It was all three of us.
- 2:39:54We took rush. We took the rental car because
- 2:39:56they wanted to go somewhere else and then we split up.
- 2:39:59We got four after the event is a good after.
- 2:40:01We had a great time, we got fucking hammered.
- 2:40:03Yeah, so that was also our first time in California.
- 2:40:06Yeah. Like so it was awesome.
- 2:40:08Yeah it was. It was crazy.
- 2:40:10Definitely the best. Definitely.
- 2:40:12It was definitely better than going to Cali for FDA events.
- 2:40:16Yeah. Ethan used to do that with
- 2:40:18mirror. Oh so you've been, you've been
- 2:40:20around. I've been to different states.
- 2:40:22Yeah, but yeah, that was that was probably one of the best
- 2:40:27trip him. Yeah.
- 2:40:29Yeah. Your pink 240.
- 2:40:31Yeah. The Pink Panty Dropper would
- 2:40:34like less horsepower than Anyone else but willing to send it.
- 2:40:37Yeah, so that was the California trip.
- 2:40:41Super d, i was amazing. Taking the rental car through
- 2:40:44the dirt bike trails in the middle of the night, where the P
- 2:40:47vet. Now, the road that goes for
- 2:40:48rations, Grande range, we didn't we didn't travel and we didn't
- 2:40:53we didn't take the road, though. We found like dirt bike trails
- 2:40:56off the road and we took that and we almost crashed into a
- 2:40:59fire hydrant in the middle of nowhere.
- 2:41:01Like, in the desert, like off a dirt bike trail.
- 2:41:04I remember off-roading my truck. Climbing a mountain and and
- 2:41:06halfway up, we're like we have to drive this home.
- 2:41:11We're like climbing mountains. Like I do remember that legit
- 2:41:15climbing rocks. Like, how are you?
- 2:41:1760 is mad? Yeah, I was like, you know what,
- 2:41:19to make it clickable road to Super D like the main road to
- 2:41:23drive into that track to Grange is just to off-road, like you
- 2:41:27can get. It's just it's just it's just a
- 2:41:28grated. Graded dirt road.
- 2:41:30Yeah, he'll find out. How do you know you're going?
- 2:41:33He's dead. Daryl is going to agree engine.
- 2:41:36Granger's. Say, every can use Apple Valley,
- 2:41:41it's always. Always always been Apple Valley
- 2:41:44but for some reason I guess like the local that's kind of like
- 2:41:49Raceway Park but everyone calls it E-Town.
- 2:41:52Yeah, I heard they did kind of make that road, a lot better.
- 2:41:56It was very bad like I drove my car.
- 2:41:59There were like rocks and stuff. So you see all these kids like
- 2:42:02driving these slam cars, like scraping the pavement, To get
- 2:42:06across this like dirt road and you're just kind of chuckling to
- 2:42:09himself. As you know, we just redid the
- 2:42:11whole car. Again, got it painted, fix it
- 2:42:13because it's what we do, then you pull up every year
- 2:42:16transmission and said, I wanted to do is drive across the
- 2:42:19country. That's not really terrible
- 2:42:21drifting. That's a quote two laps nazli at
- 2:42:24least 40, okay? Sorry, he took overlaps and
- 2:42:27super deep legitimately and then third year, disintegrated, it's
- 2:42:31a second had to be second and then I was like fuck it.
- 2:42:34And everyone's like, yeah, just put A Transit and I was like,
- 2:42:36I'm not fucking working on shit. I was I was I was totally down
- 2:42:41with throwing friends and that things like brought Jesse's
- 2:42:45trans. No, no, no, I didn't forget you.
- 2:42:47Someone had a trans. Someone like your way.
- 2:42:50Yeah, fuck it. Well, to be honest, that track
- 2:42:52is very aggressive to that. Shit was crazy and I was looking
- 2:42:55at my car that was fresh and I was like, I was like, I'm gonna
- 2:42:59break this car because remember, I kept trying to do the entry
- 2:43:02that night Yeah, that'll do. The trick is, well, they've I
- 2:43:06think they're ready. Fix this.
- 2:43:07But the track was even skinnier. And the drop-offs were like this
- 2:43:11into dirt wall into dirt and then sew it into a concrete
- 2:43:15barrier. Well, that was a block wall.
- 2:43:18Yeah, I remember the car crashing, I'd be entering and
- 2:43:22I'd have, like, I will write on the side but then sometimes
- 2:43:24it'll drop and when it drops its done because like my car is low,
- 2:43:28I think so because box and it just grabs the frame and you
- 2:43:31spin out and I did not like These three times.
- 2:43:34I drove a decent amount actually.
- 2:43:35But the trans blue for lab the second day today, right?
- 2:43:39Yeah, yeah, I think I was getting frustrated too because I
- 2:43:43was like, I can't fucking did, I would say, trying to learn how
- 2:43:45to do that track at night and I just kept getting the tires off
- 2:43:50and just showing my shit. And but I mean today a it's not
- 2:43:53like just you were going off. Everyone was flying off.
- 2:43:55Yeah, but some of the cars were taller so they didn't care -
- 2:43:58people. Some people are dropping like
- 2:44:00two tires off there is going. But it was cool.
- 2:44:03I mean, Aoki was there it was it, that shit was sick.
- 2:44:06Were you standing with us? When somebody has naoki's
- 2:44:09friends Hood, came off in, like almost took us all out to have
- 2:44:12it. I have it on video, we're like,
- 2:44:15filming and I just see this thing flip up and we're all just
- 2:44:17take cover in, like right on the other side of the fence, this
- 2:44:20dudes like Hood, just like shoots down in front of us.
- 2:44:23Think it was me. God Connor and like somebody
- 2:44:26else we're all standing really. Whoa, dude?
- 2:44:30Right as he chucked it in a lot of people's lives change.
- 2:44:34Basically what I'm talking about Josh and Tom.
- 2:44:36Yeah, and James. Yeah, because they saw them
- 2:44:39doing like driving like aggressive like that and that's
- 2:44:42when all the cars started getting raised up and all their
- 2:44:46their style started changing like it was a pretty drastic
- 2:44:50change after that event. But I mean I didn't get
- 2:44:55effective that way. I was like Lo cars.
- 2:44:57Little cars are still cooler so but the driving was wild there
- 2:45:01it was it was definitely intense and it was pretty cool to watch
- 2:45:05like seeing Aoki and everyone driving like yeah I was really
- 2:45:08cool. Found a good happy medium with
- 2:45:10my car height. Like my car's not slammed.
- 2:45:13Yeah but it's not that high either.
- 2:45:14Yeah I raise. I did raise my car today.
- 2:45:16I love it. Yeah I loved it.
- 2:45:18Like every time I see you every time I look at ages car I'm like
- 2:45:21this is how cars looked in photos from like I don't like
- 2:45:27the height like you see the lights fire on some of them but
- 2:45:30the fitment slam him. It wasn't as good as it has on
- 2:45:33AJ's Car in 2000, probably not. But in photos that are I mean
- 2:45:37Larry, you're like yeah this is good.
- 2:45:38I'm pretty yeah, it was a big change because of how much we
- 2:45:42like rolled the fenders and pull them out.
- 2:45:44Like you are used to sit way more aggressive looking with
- 2:45:47those rear quarters, you know? Yeah, it's still, I'm still, we
- 2:45:51do what we do dick. What we did was we just pulled
- 2:45:53the show. It out of quarter panels and
- 2:45:55then send it to get body work done.
- 2:45:57So they look okay, the whole thing was I was running like two
- 2:46:0015s and it's just like not enough Tire.
- 2:46:03Yeah. For serious drifting.
- 2:46:06Yeah. So that event was big and then
- 2:46:08that was okay. Well, that was the end of a lot
- 2:46:10of stuff. Like Justin was done Drifting by
- 2:46:11that point and he was just working on cars at the shop.
- 2:46:16The shop became more legit around that point.
- 2:46:18I think I started kind of following you guys at that
- 2:46:22point. Yeah, like I quit my job.
- 2:46:24Got fired from another Nissan dealership and that was when I
- 2:46:28was like, all right, fuck it. I'm just gonna do this
- 2:46:29full-time. So me and Justin were like
- 2:46:32Working on cars here and ordering more parts and stocking
- 2:46:35stuff, and doing all that. So, that'll happen to the same
- 2:46:38time. Eventually Justin left, the
- 2:46:39shop. I was, I know I was drunk.
- 2:46:42I was like the only faction driver for like, at least a
- 2:46:45group driver for like two years, three years, two years maybe and
- 2:46:51then I never quit on him but yeah, you never quit muted.
- 2:46:54Miyagi never got there but you just yeah the the progression
- 2:46:57wasn't happening fast enough. And we were also like we kind of
- 2:47:00wanted to tear AJ's Car down anyway.
- 2:47:01So And then yagi sold RX-8. He bought a Toyota Cressida.
- 2:47:07So to me, IVs Cressida and AJ's Car got full fully built and I
- 2:47:13went overboard on it. Yeah, he can transition that
- 2:47:16RX-8 was like yeah. Impossible for some reason we
- 2:47:19couldn't draw the arc. Say it.
- 2:47:20I don't know why. Every like I'm talking every
- 2:47:24good driver at Club looses tried to drive that you should have
- 2:47:26let anybody who wants drive it, nobody could drive that thing.
- 2:47:30Yeah, like Jay Wong was the only one that could like, kind of
- 2:47:32drive it and It was like he had it.
- 2:47:34Like I remember was a struggle to get around the track.
- 2:47:38Yeah. Yes.
- 2:47:38Petty if he would try and drive it, Matt Petty like the dude
- 2:47:42started everything at Club lives.
- 2:47:44He's like I'm not driving that fucking thing.
- 2:47:45I'm going to throw up in my helmet.
- 2:47:49So, but yeah. So anyway, that's Pratt.
- 2:47:52That's the past. Now, I would say the president
- 2:47:54is, is AJ me. Well, not even me AJ Miyagi
- 2:47:58other ones, really driving wags. His cars almost done Ethan, he's
- 2:48:02bought a drift car, that's the question.
- 2:48:04That's, that's a false statement.
- 2:48:05Okay, well, we won't talk about that, but as far as the future
- 2:48:10goes, no, I'm down. We had a, we had some
- 2:48:15conversation, he's not ruining anyone's life.
- 2:48:19We We had some comfortable, me and AJ.
- 2:48:22I've been trying to get Chris on Faction for like been on the
- 2:48:26team like, six times over its a Chris works at the shop, as you
- 2:48:29guys know, but every time I see him, I tell him.
- 2:48:30He's on the team again. Yeah.
- 2:48:32So like the biggest Banner on the back like.
- 2:48:35Yeah, but in my in my mind I was like, well, they're on be M and
- 2:48:38so is Carl. So then you know we've been
- 2:48:40hanging out with them. We've been doing the podcast,
- 2:48:42I'm like, all right. So when are you guys patching
- 2:48:45over to faction? I always just think like I don't
- 2:48:47know. There's there's like a piece of
- 2:48:49me, that's like if I'm going to do it, like I'd want to like
- 2:48:54Look the part your cars do it. Don't worry, Got Away, we got a
- 2:48:58painted gray. No, no, I like that.
- 2:49:00It's blue. No, we're yeah because because
- 2:49:03you have a goal, I guess we should have mentioned that to.
- 2:49:05We kind of gave up on the colors thing.
- 2:49:07Miyagi's got red like we don't really just be like a colorful
- 2:49:11group yeah we just want the vinyl the deed similar and
- 2:49:14system that's fair old option videos.
- 2:49:16It was either it was either teams that were all the same
- 2:49:19color or they were all different colors.
- 2:49:21That's a literally my favorite cars I ever saw like.
- 2:49:24Can you hear me as a team with Night Magic to?
- 2:49:28And they all had totally different cars.
- 2:49:30Not even any of the same stuff, but they all just had like the
- 2:49:34same Night Magic vinyl on the side of their cars and they just
- 2:49:39looked amazing. Yeah.
- 2:49:39If you want to know, inspiration for our current setups that,
- 2:49:42that would be it like not the actual Parts on the car, but the
- 2:49:45vibe of the team different colors.
- 2:49:47But same style. Same.
- 2:49:49That's, yeah, I've been telling Daryl this, I'm like, dude, we
- 2:49:52would look so cool. All together, just well, good.
- 2:49:54So we're Gonna get you guys on the team.
- 2:49:56Damn, you just Loop Darryl in here.
- 2:49:58Well, he's on BM so oh, so that yeah, I don't know.
- 2:50:01I mean we're doing like a legit Pam.
- 2:50:03I just got put on blast, that's ridiculous.
- 2:50:05I feel like I would shiver hatch over.
- 2:50:07We got to take the whole. Now I will talk about this shit

- 2:51:15Huxley Motorsport. Oh, yeah, yeah, that dude has
- 2:51:19sick cars. Had that kid on the car,
- 2:51:21whatever. And then this is had, like, bad
- 2:51:24luck like thermostat housing bolts cause you were hanging out
- 2:51:27with Carl. Yeah, like a pretty much the
- 2:51:29whole car. I got the coral.
- 2:51:30Look, whatever. Car went to shit.
- 2:51:32I sold the car. Chris was like, actually right
- 2:51:36before that side to side know, right before the actually almost
- 2:51:39traded that E36 for a red. 240SX hat, dude.

- 2:52:30Carl's house. This guy came from South Jersey,
- 2:52:32Red Hat, S14 Sr. It was like rust-free, okay?
- 2:52:37He wanted to, I can feel it. So the guy wanted the car but
- 2:52:44because you'll get the car. Yeah.
- 2:52:49He was like, oh, maybe I knew you know, he'll they, maybe I
- 2:52:52should keep this car. Okay.
- 2:52:54So then I sold the E36. I was supposed to get an escort.
- 2:52:57Teen the guy sold that and then Chris was like, you should just
- 2:53:00buy a z. So I blow dizzy whatever.
- 2:53:03And then I put coilovers on it while the diff rack spacers.
- 2:53:07And then Chris was the one that told me that you should drive
- 2:53:09your first event. That was ready, set drift.
- 2:53:11Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:53:12Chris we were talking about you before you showed up literally
- 2:53:14like it's like we're like three minutes.
- 2:53:18Yeah. We were talking about how your
- 2:53:19skin to drive your car, but the thing, okay, the end-all-be-all
- 2:53:22is is because, you know, said how good you are at driving, so
- 2:53:25it wasn't bad. Yeah, Jesse just showed up.
- 2:53:29What? Wait, stop, man, wildcards

- 2:54:37Oh yeah. There I was.
- 2:54:41I was saying there's no like organization like It was just
- 2:54:44guys like no. I think I'm going for a solo run
- 2:54:47and then Fred in the 350Z. Oh shit.
- 2:54:51He was there to LS7 screaming behind me.
- 2:55:10Throw it in that car. Have like I have 500 horsepower.
- 2:55:15Something that's Z was like. Yeah.
- 2:55:16Yeah. Over Michael built like LS7 or
- 2:55:19something. And I remember driving one him
- 2:55:21being smoked out to the point where I had no idea where I was
- 2:55:23going, I was at night at Club loose.
- 2:55:26I'm just I'm behind him and all of a sudden.
- 2:55:28It's like that's it again, get hazed like no, you literally
- 2:55:32just can't see ya. Again phased in the smoke, you
- 2:55:35got the lights hitting the smoke and it's just that's it.
- 2:55:38And I'm like on the throttle like And then like I transition
- 2:55:44and I can see. And I'm like whoa that whole
- 2:55:47Corner blind. I can't see.
- 2:55:50Turn one in the dark at Club least bad, but now we're up to
- 2:55:53like we're at least since you're here.
- 2:55:57Fucking you remember like it. You remember going to California
- 2:56:01to remember the bridge on the way back from fucking Louisiana?
- 2:56:04I mean I'm from New Orleans. Close way.
- 2:56:07Yeah, the cost of I was fucking Brendan playing the music.
- 2:56:10You were wasted. Dude.
- 2:56:14Yeah, let's do it. We were like, we're like crying
- 2:56:17last a whole time. Yeah, that's it was fun though.
- 2:56:19We are talking about the whole trip and how awesome it was
- 2:56:22gonna do it again. I know that that Jesse's like me
- 2:56:26two or he's just like constantly, like, when the fuck
- 2:56:30are we doing this trip again? Like, let's get the fuck out of
- 2:56:33here. Yeah, like he just wants to go
- 2:56:34on the road. Right, let's go right now.
- 2:56:36My all right. So yeah, we're just, we just
- 2:56:39got, we did the past, we did the president.
- 2:56:40Now we're talking about maybe trying to get Maybe and then
- 2:56:43should maybe in the future closes.
- 2:56:45Yeah, yeah. Trying to catch you later.
- 2:56:47Okay, I just want to drive, dude, that's my one thing.
- 2:56:50Like I watch these videos. I'm at this point in my life,
- 2:56:53where I'm like, fuck yeah. When the hell else am I going to
- 2:56:56use when I'm old? Well, I guess this is also
- 2:56:58something to bring up to like the reasons patch over thing was
- 2:57:03happening. Was obviously is Chris works
- 2:57:05here for one and he's been driving with AJ and Miyagi but
- 2:57:09also I've always been in my head, I've always been like, why
- 2:57:12don't People join up. Like, why do we have all these
- 2:57:16random small drill? I mean, you guys, it's
- 2:57:19different. Yeah, I'm talking in general.
- 2:57:21Yeah. Like all these random clubs
- 2:57:24coming up and I'm like, why don't?
- 2:57:26Well, because it's a, it happens just like that.
- 2:57:28Like, but for some reason people have this thing where like they
- 2:57:30don't want to They want to start their own thing.
- 2:57:34Like, people don't want to go talk to another drifting, that's
- 2:57:37already established or there like, scared or something.
- 2:57:39I'm not talking about you guys. I'm talking about other teams
- 2:57:42that have been popping up lately, but like there's this
- 2:57:46thing where they like, they, they either want to do it
- 2:57:49themselves or they're scared to like Drive the same track.
- 2:57:59Well, that is, well, then, where's the competition?
- 2:58:01The Bring this up is because like like I said before, there
- 2:58:04was like two years where I was literally driving alone because
- 2:58:07AJ Miyagi were secret drivers and Justin was gone and I'm like
- 2:58:11well I'm just going to carry this shit because you're gonna
- 2:58:14you're not going to let it die. Well, I need it to market the
- 2:58:17company to so I'm like, you know, I need to drive.
- 2:58:20I remember the year, what like when drifting was starting to
- 2:58:22click for me, I was just driving a bunch of events by myself,
- 2:58:26nobody from factions at the track with me and stuff.
- 2:58:29Yeah, you know, but then but then I'm like seeing these other
- 2:58:32two teams pop up and I'm like, Bro, why didn't you just like,
- 2:58:37hit us up? And like, we would accept anyone
- 2:58:39at that point, I was like, if your car is cool and you're down
- 2:58:42to go to events like in your local and your local.
- 2:58:45Yeah. Like, I remember, someone was
- 2:58:47even saying, like it got to the point where it's like, oh, he
- 2:58:50should just do like tryouts. I'm like, no, I'm like, I'm not
- 2:58:52doing this was obviously not true for that said this but I
- 2:58:55was like, I'm not doing tryouts like I don't want to put an open
- 2:58:59invite out there because I know what I'm gonna get ya.
- 2:59:01So if we want to hang out with you, Not just fucking drive meet
- 2:59:06up at events that I be able to like hang out with us.
- 2:59:09Exactly. But yeah, no, I just want to say
- 2:59:11that because I just feel like if you're if you're are like
- 2:59:15there's like two of you and you're like oh we're going to
- 2:59:16make a drift Club. It's like, why don't you slow
- 2:59:18down and look in your area, go to your local track.
- 2:59:21See if there's any groups that are already formed.
- 2:59:24Yeah, it's yeah. And then maybe you'll meet some
- 2:59:26people to. Yeah.
- 2:59:27They want to like get in like final bout.
- 2:59:30I know that's probably like slap these teams together real quick.
- 2:59:33Yeah, like these These slap together.
- 2:59:35Teams are like dude. It's not a good look.
- 2:59:37Just I mean, that's a whole nother even that's all of them.
- 2:59:42There's so much of that going on.
- 2:59:44But uh, let me, let me see if we got any questions for today
- 2:59:48because this, I mean, this is pretty much it.
- 2:59:49This is our longest podcasts for sure.
- 2:59:51Yes. As long as the sheriff but
- 2:59:53people were asking for this, so whatever.
- 2:59:56Hopefully, the people like, it takes a lot for me to actually
- 2:59:59go on the podcast. Yeah.
- 3:00:01Having a j.a. Miyagi here.
- 3:00:02Were that we came sooner had I know.
- 3:00:05Oh yeah. Do you wish you were here first?
- 3:00:06So mad? I tried to do but I caught up
- 3:00:08with her. I'm just going to go through
- 3:00:11these questions real quick. Is it ever too late to start
- 3:00:16drifting? No.
- 3:00:18No, the answer is no. Here we go.
- 3:00:21Yeah, yeah, you gotta come over here.
- 3:00:39It's like probably in the 70s, maybe 80, he's the owner of the
- 3:00:42track but there's a guy shit. I forgot his name right now, but
- 3:00:48he basically comes through to track and takes care of the
- 3:00:51track and takes care of can make sure he takes his meds, whatever
- 3:00:53every day. Okay.
- 3:00:55And that dude, when we were there taking, I will remember
- 3:00:58taking a break swapping my tires.
- 3:01:00This guy came through in a Kia. No, a Hyundai Kona.
- 3:01:04What like a little new brand new Honda, right?
- 3:01:08But I guess they come with like a red version or some shit.
- 3:01:11That's that's boosted. Oh yeah, yeah, shit.
- 3:01:14So this guy was time attacking like I'm talking about three
- 3:01:18wheel in the fucking:. I was like yeah, like going
- 3:01:20around whatever. So the second that was the first
- 3:01:23day, second day, he came back in a Pacifica, okay?
- 3:01:26Because Laura, that's reckless. Okay, lowered.
- 3:01:30Pacifica like fucking 255 is like squared, I'm dumb.
- 3:01:34Whatever he took like my girlfriend like seven other
- 3:01:38people in the car time attending a way, how old this is like 50
- 3:01:4360 s. So he's he's good.
- 3:01:45He's a Porsche instructor. Oh yes, Marty designer, some
- 3:01:48crazy, whatever, right? So everyone, I guess he was
- 3:01:51asking people like, yo, how do I get into drifting?
- 3:01:54Like, I have, I have this old Camaro, I had this car,
- 3:01:57whatever. And then, they were just like,
- 3:01:58oh yeah, one of us could really teach you how to drive right
- 3:02:01now. Yeah.
- 3:02:02And, and they were just like, whoa.
- 3:02:04Darrell's car is only one that's working right now because
- 3:02:06everyone's car overheated whatever.
- 3:02:09So they went, they went up to meet her like hey would you let
- 3:02:11this guy drive your card? Teach him?
- 3:02:14How to drive? I was like, fuck it.
- 3:02:16The car was still running. I just put tires on it.
- 3:02:19This guy got in my Ipsy. Oh he's over.
- 3:02:21He's a driver. He literally started time
- 3:02:23attacking the SE first. Yeah, Ramadan.
- 3:02:25And I'm in my car like I don't know, like slapping can handle
- 3:02:32like this. Like what the fuck is this guy?
- 3:02:34Thank you. I mean, this sending it,
- 3:02:36whatever. And then he's like, okay, so
- 3:02:38what do I do? I was like, okay, you know how
- 3:02:42you go into the Turning? You could feel that break of
- 3:02:44traction, I'm like clutch, kick it, their floors.
- 3:02:47This guy's going go. In there, he's probably like so
- 3:02:50confused, but he was like, okay, but I had videos like he fucking
- 3:02:54went in there clutch, kicked it caught it, and he's like, oh, he
- 3:02:57just went around the corner and then I'm telling him, like,
- 3:03:01okay, going fast there, don't be afraid to use the clutch that
- 3:03:04use the E brake whatever, because he's a group drivers.
- 3:03:07Yeah. But now instead of fighting the
- 3:03:10grip, so interesting, he's trying to break the grip.
- 3:03:13So like he's just we all we all learn how to drift before really
- 3:03:17grip, but none of us really We are professional drivers a quick
- 3:03:20drive know. This guy I taught a grip driver
- 3:03:23how to drift my see. It was weird and he's like 60
- 3:03:25years old. You know what I mean?
- 3:03:27So today question. No it's never too late to learn.
- 3:03:29Yeah, definitely not all that question.
- 3:03:32Could Relate to like the market, the tracks closing.
- 3:03:38Okay. Stuff like that.
- 3:03:41I mean, yeah. If we're not involving money,
- 3:03:44then I would say no. But if you're talking about
- 3:03:46money and stuff like Mmm, Yeah, Frankie Oh, just turns like that
- 3:03:53here. We're learning new things about
- 3:03:56these fancy Mike's. Not new things.
- 3:03:58Everyday nothing over here, moving it around on the desk and
- 3:04:00I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's not a question but I missed the
- 3:04:03streets treating Clips. Yeah, I miss them too.
- 3:04:05Don't worry. So we all do right.
- 3:04:10Yeah, all right. Yeah.
- 3:04:17I mean I do to that's I mean that was the those that was my
- 3:04:19favorite stuff to post on Instagram like They cared about
