Reese Marin made it out to the shop the other night to sit down with us. I was super stoked for this one since I've known Reese for almost 10 years at this point and he has watched FACTION become whatever the hell it is since its inception. His main profession these days is teaching the youth how to drift over at Evergreen Raceway in Pennsylvania. Make sure to check out his IG accounts below and hit him up if you ever need a one on one lesson!

Damien has been in the USA drift scene since its inception! No...seriously, this dude has been involved in drifting on the east coast since the early days of Drift Alliance and Club Loose! We absolutely LOVED talking to him and catching up. Got to hear his origin story and his first drifting experience. We also got caught up to current day with details about his brand Smile X Death and his drift team Car Shop Karoshi. Make sure to leave us a review if you are liking this podcast! Thank you!

On this episode we have two young bloods from Club Loose, Gabe & Jake. These guys are 19 and 21 years old and are deeply involved with drifting here in New Jersey. We wanted to bring them both on at the same time to ask some questions about how they both got into drifting, hoping some of our listeners can relate and gain some insight on how to go about getting started!

Brian Hop is in the building! Brian is a Club Loose regular, a member of the Bloodmasters drift team, and most importantly "Mulch Daddy"! On this episode we take a look at how Brian got started drifting, taking it all the way back to his high school days sliding in parking lots. We also speak about getting burnt out in the sport and how he deals with keeping it interesting. This was one of my favorite episodes due to the fact that I always looked up to Brian's drifting when I started at Club Loose and finally had a good amount of time to sit down and talk with him about it! His driving style was always a favorite of mine and MANY others that attended Club Loose events for the last 10 years.

On this episode of "Drifting on a Budget", we set the budget for $10,000! Karl tries to buy a drift car, a TRUCK and rent a trailer for all 5 events of his season. Kris just sticks with driving his car to events, and our friend Luis decides to actually BUY a trailer as well with his budget. These guys were spending money like it grew on trees. I think next time we are going to add some dice to this game to make it a little more fair.
