On this episode of The Smoking Section, the crew links up with Midwest drifter Josh Estey from Bobby’s Crew, recorded after hours at JemSport in Jackson, Michigan. The conversation dives deep into both the technical and mental side of drifting at a high level.

Josh breaks down his roots — from BMX and muscle cars to trading into a clapped RX7 that started his drift journey. From there, the episode gets into the details: proximity driving, clean transitions, sim training with Assetto Corsa, and even debates on tire pressure and steering feel.

The crew also talks team dynamics, comparing different approaches between Bobby’s Crew and Team Smooth Brain, along with the pressure that comes with running in tight tandems and competitive environments. Josh shares insight into his current setup, including his switch to Wisefab and plans for an FD-style S14 build.

They wrap it up with real talk on the mental game, handling nerves before runs, and the kind of pit stories that only come from pushing limits.

If you’re into the technical side of drifting and what it really takes to perform, this episode is a must-listen. 🔥
