**The Art of Drifting: A Conversation with Lee**

Lee sat down to discuss his experience at the recent drifting event, where he took home second place despite the challenging conditions. "It was a good lead run," he reflected on his performance, "you had a lot of smoke, good angle, and you want a three or four out of five correct. Three to four out of five, yes, you got it all right." His approach to the event was methodical, with Lee carefully analyzing each driver's moves and adjusting his own strategy accordingly.

**A Narrow Win**

One of the most critical moments of the event came when Lee faced off against Naren in the top-eight battle. The two drivers were neck-and-neck, with Lee's car performing admirably on asphalt but struggling on concrete. "My lead was good," he acknowledged, "but I dropped a tire in the chase and fell back slightly." However, Lee believed that his superior angle and speed gave him an advantage, allowing him to stay ahead of Naren despite the latter's valiant efforts.

**The Sound of Victory**

Lee's car was renowned for its ear-shattering loudness, which had a significant impact on his performance. "It literally blew my eardrums out," he joked, but insisted that this did not affect his driving. "I'm very confident that we got the win on that battle." Despite Naren's valiant efforts, Lee believed that his car's superior sound – and performance – gave him an edge.

**The Rain-Forced Decision**

One of the most unexpected twists in the event came when a sudden downpour forced organizers to cancel the concrete drifting section. The remaining drivers were given a technical decision, with those who qualified higher in the previous round being placed ahead of those who did not. Lee was fortunate enough to qualify high and therefore benefited from this decision.

**A Decent Payday**

The event ultimately took a toll on the purse, with organizers deciding to split it amongst the seven remaining drivers rather than hosting the full 50,000-dollar summer showdown at Riverside. While Lee was disappointed that he would not be competing for the bigger prize, he remained upbeat about his winnings. "That still would have been able to battle um and lucky for us i'm already high in points and since i got second on technicality here it uh leaves us pretty high points for championship bumped."

**Looking Ahead**

With the event now over, Lee is eager to move forward to the next competition. He expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming Puerto Rico and AMP events, as well as the 50,000-dollar Summer Showdown at Riverside. "We're trying to get Jenny back fixed together," he quipped about his car's recent mechanical issues, adding that they were looking forward to getting behind the wheel once again.

**A Note on the Environment**

Finally, Lee made a pointed reference to the extreme weather conditions that had plagued the event. "There's only 77 degrees out there," he noted wryly, "and we ain't gonna fight without these seats." The harsh conditions did not deter him or his team, however – they remained committed to competing at their best despite the challenging environment.

apologize um we have enough time to change it so let's check the other one you know where in the list he is for class because we're first he got plenty of time i was trying to make something clever but my brain's not functioning that full efficiency right now i'm using too much of a driving about to go out for qualifying feel great in the car i know if i do the same thing i just did on that last practice run i'm going to have a really good score so i'm going to go do the same thing have some fun and then we got top 6 sport tonight so uh yeah three drivers all right our last driver of the first round of qualifying adams oh adam i'll see with an 86 adam lz with an 86. i feel like i just teased the earth i didn't completely like i wanted to it was the making of a great run from the beginning but i was trying really hard to improve the one weak spot that i had and a lot of other drivers had as well and that's like hanging outside zone two as long as possible because i actually like hung that one longer and messed up my line i transitioned too late for the last center so i blew that one by mile and i think that's where most of my points were lost either way we're qualified and fourth so it's a really good spot to be sitting and uh it's great to see i'm really stoked it didn't rain because like usual i pull up to the to the grid there's like 7 000 dark storm clouds overhead and like we're doing rain so i'm starting to qualify we gotta buy run i'm not gonna lie i was actually pretty stoked to drive tonight but there were four buy runs and we got one of them which means we can get to texas roadhouse faster love their rolls hopping on the computer sending over some logs from the emu black ecu master data logger over to jamie marshall you can review everything i took a quick look through the vlogs myself didn't see anything out of the ordinary a few little rich spots on tip in he's gonna make some adjustments get us perfect for tomorrow's top 32 competition that we'll be competing in foreign now all right so it is practice uh coming into practice just gonna play with the car maybe make a little setup changes but get some laps in get comfortable memorize my marks and go fun oh you um um last type of practice i know if you guys could tell kind of tried to lay down the best lead that i could and actually threw my belt but i think we got a fix for it one of the bolts ended up backing out that keeps the whole pulley system from flexing and i think that just chucked them out but about to go out for my first battle and it's gonna be a good time all right guys we're mic'd up for this battle leading first and do a nice lead nice chase take her home uh hmm did you say he's fun he's funny okay copy thank you all right so he spun out we just need to hit our marks we'll be gucci a lot of this game's just consistency so just focus staying calm doing my thing that's what got the win last time that's what's going to get the win this time not a good chase but i just uh basically what i was doing if you noticed me grabbing a lot of handbrake i was trying not to get myself stuck so every time i grab the handbrake i was trying to push myself farther back to give myself a clean line of sight especially around the inners where it's easy to mess up chop track plow a cone over and then end up taking yourself out so one thing i've been really trying to focus on and i'm happy i did exactly what i needed to do and i'm like 99.9 confident we got to win ah i think uh the guy that we just went up against he's 14 years old mark my words or sorry don't don't uh don't i might be wrong but i'm 99 he's 14 years old which is crazy at 14 years old i don't even think i could drift in like a fast and curious or need for speed video game and he's out here in a i didn't even think i knew how to drive manual at 14 and he's out here like putting up a real damn good fight good for him if uh if i could find his instagram name i'll put it on the screen but killer driving made it to the top 32 and uh hopefully he'll make it farther next time great dude super nice i did the thing again do the thing time to go in the earth actually found that warming up the fronts is a lot easier to do with one hand because you can be more abrupt help a lot in the mustangs gonna go in the earth oh one more thing to do the quarterback all right ginge give me a number give me like a three to four he had my snake but he was close how was the quality of my lead run it was a good lead run you had a lot of smoke good angle and you want a three or four out of five correct three to four out of five yes you got it all right time to make something happen i'm gonna go i'm gonna stay close do a cool ass run i dropped a tire in the chase falling a little too wide i was trying to be careful not to dive in we'll see if you're not i did drop a tire a little bit in the chase but i feel like they might reward it since i was at bigger angle and he was shallower if that makes sense so you should have no problem okay got it i got to be careful not to clutch in i was doing a lot of clutching in following him when i should have been on the gas more and just on the brake a little bit because i was clutching in it kind of like made me run too wide of a line behind him when i should have driven inside instead you know we got the win we got the win boys all right so i got to be careful if i'm falling a slower car not to make that same mistake about the win but gonna not give the judges any room for me to lose top eight baby let's take it home so all right going up against naren his car is fast but we've got it do a nice lead oh this one sounds repetitive just kind of talking myself through what i'm going to do time to go hole in the earth big hole big earth whole guy become the w let's do it oh oh talk to me ginge i need a five i need your best chance five how was my lead it was good you were a little shallow in outer zone two coming out but i need a great chase from you put it on this door you got it five coming up baby this car is fast on the asphalt but slow on the concrete just gotta remember that we'll be gucci we got this wow this car is so loud jesus christ my ears are ringing his lead was not the best he had a lot of bobbles a lot of corrections took out clips so even though my chase wasn't necessarily honest i'm very very confident that we got the win on that battle wow uh i don't know what you think if you're watching this there and i don't like how your car sounds but like it literally blew my eardrums out wow it sounds cool though pretty confident we got the win on that one boys uh we'll see what they do i mean it's for me it looks kind of like one more time your car is loud bro i like blew my eardrums out it's so loud i'm pretty happy with my chase i could have been more on him um but we'll see how they judge i know if this is fd we'd get the win just based on judging lead for lee before chases all right guys we got it one more time that's gonna be us when we try to drift on the concrete all right i felt like i beat him but regardless we gotta seal the deal and make it more clear if i can beat him once i can beat him again i'm assuming he probably is going to add more grip to his car so i just need to stay on the lookout for that and really push a little bit harder in the chase i want to go before it rains why does always happen to me now it's rain raining boo oh man we're about to go they might almost had enough to get a battle in and then it just started pouring oh boy they're so close oh wow they're sending them yeah this is ridiculous always on here so this is what happened it keeps raining there's no way we can finish the concrete gets so slick they made a decision that i think was very difficult to make but i think is very fair the remaining drivers in the bracket essentially placed according to qualifying order so lucky for me i qualified pretty well and it had me get second so very fair they split the purse amongst the seven drivers still in the bracket i think 21 grand split seven ways comes out to like 28 50 or something like that so every driver's taking home a decent amount of cash that still would have been able to battle um and lucky for us i'm already high in points and since i got second on technicality here it uh leaves us pretty high points for championship bumped i didn't get to drive more happy with my driving definitely continuing to learn every round out here had fun wish it wasn't monsoon but uh yeah now we got puerto rico and then we got the amp event and then we have the 50 000 purse summer showdown over at riverside thanks for watching bye it is seven thousand degrees outside and we ain't gonna fight without these seats we're trying to get
