#195 - Ricardo Ruiz: Car Builds, Bad Luck, and Drifting Culture

After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports · Mar 19, 2026 · 2h 52m · transcript

Ricardo Ruiz joins us to talk about his path through car culture, from early Corolla builds to his current S-chassis and everything in between. We get into drifting, the reality of building cars, and the kind of bad luck and lessons that come with it. Along the way, we touch on community, time spent at the track, and how those experiences shape the way you approach cars and the people around them.
