Lou of BloodMasters joins us to talk about the early days of drifting, the origins and attitude behind BloodMasters, Club Loose, and how the scene has evolved over the years.
We get into the wild west era of drifting, missile cars, iconic drift videos, Drift Appalachia, and what made those early days feel so raw. Lou also talks about the risks that come with pushing a car to the limit, the current state of competitive drifting, and whether the sport has reached a point where less horsepower might actually make things more exciting.
From the good old days to where drifting is headed next, this one covers a lot of ground.

Tyler Holsman joins us in the shop to talk about his longtime S13, growing up in the Club Loose scene, and years of drifting with friends. We get into Final Bout, building and changing the car over time, working in the automotive world before getting into trucking, and finding a better balance between work, cars, and actually enjoying both.
