Fifteen years ago, a guy from Maryland took a camcorder and a bone-stock Ford Mustang GT to Japan and filmed a series of YouTube videos on drifting and local car culture. Back home in the States, a handful of people—including INTC producer Mike Perlman, then 15 years old—watched those videos and asked, What the hell is going on here? By that point, Vaughn Gittin, Jr. was already an accomplished professional drifter, an off-road racer, and a self-proclaimed “professional fun-haver.” Fast forward a decade and a half, and Gittin's hands-on approach has helped drifting be taken seriously in America—and he's done so much more. For INTC's 50th episode, Gittin joins us to talk about the nuance and difficulty of drifting, building a career in motorsport, and how our very own Ross Bentley changed his life!

Tony Angelo is a US drifting pioneer from Doylestown, PA. He found drifting from Initial D in the early 2000s and started sliding his car around PA back roads, meeting Chris Forsberg in the process. In their turbo FC Mazda RX-7s, they were heavily into drifting before anybody in their area knew what it was. They eventually hosted sanctioned events at Englishtown Raceway, introducing drifting to others on the East Coast including people like Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Ryan Tuerk. In this episode, Tony recalls getting into hot rods as a kid, discovering drifting, and his journey as a professional drifter in D1 and Formula Drift. He talks about the shenanigans they got into as team Drift Alliance, and his stint as a Formula D judge. These days, Tony is well known for his stint co-hosting Hot Rod Garage and Roadkill on MotorTrend TV, and more recently from his popular YouTube show Stay Tuned. Listen in on our conversations where we reminisce on his wild past, share stories on the early days of Formula D, and reflect on how much the sport and he as a human being has evolved.

Chris Forsberg is a US drifting pioneer from Doylestown, PA. He has a 20 year long career as a professional driver in Formula D, and is well-known as a Nissan Z drifting icon. His love for drifting started in the early 2000s with his Mazda FC RX-7 after meeting Tony Angelo. The two would eventually run DGTA, an organization hosting events that would provide a legal alternative to street drifting. Chris towed his car all the way to Los Angeles for the D1 Grand Prix driver search in 2003, and eventually made the decision to buy a brand new Nissan Z as his new drift car. He built the right relationships in LA and worked for Signal Auto as a mechanic and became a sponsored driver, even driving the Signal Twins cars at local drift day events. In this podcast episode, Chris recalls old stories, talks about his journey as a professional drifter, his love of building cars, reflecting on how much drifting has changed in the last 20 years, the lessons he's learned as a 20 year old drifting veteran and what he sees in his future.

Would you believe that Jon Chase, the Art Director over at Hoonigan, started his career at an industrial rubber company? Some of the best and most notable people in the automotive world started in careers that had nothing to do with automobiles. But then things changed. After landing a job as a junior designer for Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker at his company Famous Stars and Straps, he then went onto work at Maisto (that really cool company that makes diecast cars) to make more cool stuff, while at the same time starting his own clothing company called DSTROYR. The world of drifting was next where Jon designed product for the likes of Chris Forsberg and Vaughn Gittin Jr. After that he met Brian Scotto from Hoonigan, and the rest, at least for now anyway, is history (and of course we’re simplifying that). This week on the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ we’d like to welcome Jon Chase as he takes us through his journey of art and design. We’ve also pulled a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Nomad resto-mod from our classified for the simple reason that we thought Jon would dig it. Enjoy! https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/chevrolet/nomad/2451406.html
