Rhys Conklin 16 year old drifter driving with RTR | Goodest Cast EP.59

Episode 59

Thursday, November 16, 2023 • Duration 02:49:22

Rhys Conklin is a 16 year drifter who started drifting years ago way before he could even dream of having a driver's license. Thanks to some interesting contacts and a super supportive family he got to chase his dream from an early age. At 16 he’s doing some serious driving with the RTR guys and not only that but handling the business side of things also. We talk about what it takes to deal with school and balancing other things in life. We talk about avoiding burnout when your life is all drifting all the time. We talk about the future and sim drifting of course. We even talk about how fortunate he is to be in the situation where his whole family is supporting his goals and how unique that is in drifting at this time. I’m excited to see what Rhys can do over the next few years.

EP.56 Benson and Nadine Hsu West Coast Drifting Legends

Episode 56

Thursday, September 7, 2023 • Duration 03:05:04

Benson and Nadine are two west coast drifting legends. They met through Nissan and S Chassis meetups in Southern California in the late 90’s and continued to learn about car style, and drifting together. They went from tuners to professional drifters and parents. Their wedding was covered in Super Street and featured their S13s which is one of the most iconic car wedding shoots in the US. Benson and Nadine were competitors in the first two years of Formula Drift. Benson shipped his caged street S13 with a stock sr20det, including a t25 turbo to run against race cars at the 2004 season of FD. Nadine drove her s13 in FD as well and is one of the first professional female drifters in the US. They’ve both been featured in a few top tier magazines when car mags were the pinnacle of tuner culture. Nadine was even on the cover of Carboy Magazine. Nadine is a published author and has been fighting for women to be equal in motorsport since she started.

Together they have influenced drifting and car culture for well over two decades. Not to mention their Sileighty Mania Podcast which has some of the most influential people in drifting telling the stories of the origins of US drifting. We’re doing a crossover so check out my episode where they interview me.

Episode 55

Wednesday, August 2, 2023 • Duration 01:55:55

Kazuya Taguchi is one of the very few drifters who have competed in drifting at the top level in multiple countries. He came to the United States from Japan a little over three years ago and had to learn English and a lot more along the way. He came here to win and has been working his way up to being a force in Formula Drift while still making time for building cool cars with the JDM style we love so much. Kazuya is also part of the famous Japanese drift team Moccomans whose headquarters is Garage Yamaguchi. We get into Kazuya’s origin story back in Japan and his early days street drifting stories. Kazuya has a very high drift IQ and there’s a lot to learn about his evaluation of driving and techniques.
