Jamo is Drift Team Animal Style’s newest member, his driving style, car style, and presence made that an easy choice. For someone so young to not only be driving but building cars at the level he is there is no excuse other than dedication. We talk about the struggles of trusting the wrong head gasket and SR20DET issues that no one wants to have. Jamo is just getting started but it was great to sit down and hear his story so far. We couldn’t be more excited to see where his story goes.
Jack is another example of the uniquely great people you meet through drifting. He and his team mates from Hit and Run Drift Club really made drifting fun. They created iconic videos with the help of Scott Mitchell that made waves in the drift world. Their stuff really inspired me when I was getting into drifting. It was all just friends having fun and building cool cars to go shred with, rowdy trips to Japan that looked like a dream. It was something to aspire to. They still run their event called Glory Days in Australia, and Jack has been branching out and exploring drifting in a very different way in some unexpected places.
Jimmy Oakes is a Connecticut based car builder, BMXer, and driver. He also hosts a Youtube channel covering all his car builds and trips driving all over the world. Jimmy is also a part of Front Street Drift Team, which is one of the premiere drift teams in the US known for their clean S Chassis builds and aggressive driving style. Over my time getting to know Jimmy it is obvious this man lives and breathes drifting. The level of his chase driving skill shows that and is proof BMX kids pick up drifting quickly.
Gregg Bucell joins us again to talk about life after Koruworks, where to get them, and his new unlocked achievements in drifting. We did a Q&A as well which is always a good time with Gregg, he’s a great story teller and always one entertaining dude. Gregg is always good for a laugh and a hot take so buckle up. See his original interview with origin story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7RiFA084JU
Tommy Roberts is a West Coast Drifting Icon. You have undoubtedly seen one of his signature gold S13’s over the years. His drifting style mixed with car style has caught the attention of some of your favorite car builders and drivers over the years. Tommy is a humble guy who after all these years is still finding ways to give back to drifting. He is a Hot Pit Judge, he works at Part Shop Max, and is still building extremely well done cars. We talk about his influences, his goals within drifting, and the early days of running around with Matt Powers. He was able to compete in China in the early days and has had some crazy experiences. Drifting is a lucky to have Tommy Roberts around, and we should all strive to give back to the thing that’s given us so much.
