Putting it in TJ Hunt's DOOR!

The Art of Drifting: A Unique Tandem Driving Experience

As I sat behind the wheel of my car, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. My goal was to throw some lives together with my teammate, Alex, both of us being very confident in our driving skills. The track we were on was a challenging one, with tight turns and steep inclines that required precision and control. As we began to drive, I noticed that Alex was following me closely behind, and I felt a sense of comfort knowing that he was right there behind me.

As we approached the first turn, I could see that Alex had taken the lead, and I knew that I had to be careful not to drift out of control. The track's surface was particularly slippery in this area, and one wrong move could send my car careening into the barriers. But Alex seemed to know exactly what he was doing, and he expertly navigated the turn while maintaining a steady speed. I followed his lead, feeling a sense of relief as we both emerged from the turn without incident.

The next few laps were intense, with both of us pushing ourselves to see how fast we could go. The track's layout was such that we were constantly changing direction, and every corner required a different set of skills. But despite the challenges, I found myself feeling more confident with each passing lap. Alex was driving really well, and I was able to stay right behind him.

As we approached the straightaway, Alex suddenly pulled ahead of me, and I found myself struggling to keep up. The track's surface was particularly smooth in this area, and my car seemed to be handling beautifully. But then Alex expertly drifted around a corner, leaving me to follow his lead. It was a tricky maneuver, but he executed it perfectly.

One of the most impressive things about driving on this track was the way that every car could handle differently. I had driven on tracks before where my car would consistently perform well, but here, even Alex's car seemed to be having issues. His rear wheels were spinning out in the turns, and his front tires were screeching as he took the corners. But despite these challenges, he continued to drive with confidence, and I found myself following suit.

As we neared the end of our time on the track, Alex suddenly pulled up behind me and shouted "TJ, that's my car!" I realized that he had hit my wheel while trying to pass me, and it was a pretty impressive recovery. But then something even more unexpected happened - we were approached by a racing mechanic who offered us some words of advice.

"Let me take a look at your car," the mechanic said, examining my damaged wheel with a critical eye. "It looks like you might need to replace this tire." He explained that the damage was pretty extensive, and that I would need to get a new tire in order to continue driving safely. But despite the setback, I was determined to make the most of our time on the track.

As we drove off the course, Alex turned to me and said "Hey, TJ, can I sign your car?" I was taken aback by his request, but I happily agreed. And as he signed my wheel, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at having been able to share this experience with him.

The video that we had created on this track would go on to become one of the most popular ones in our channel, and it was all thanks to the incredible skills of Alex and me. We had pushed ourselves to see how fast we could drive, and we had come out on top. It was a truly unique experience, and one that I would never forget.

A Message from the Creator

As I looked back on our time on the track, I couldn't help but feel grateful for all of the support that my viewers had given me. Without their enthusiasm and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to pursue my passion for driving in such an exciting way.

And so, as we celebrated our two million subscribers, I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being part of this journey with me. Your support has meant the world to me, and I am honored to be able to share my experiences with all of you.

Over the next few days, Alex and I would be returning to the track, pushing ourselves to see how fast we could drive and what kind of challenges we could overcome. We would also be taking on new projects and initiatives, as we continue to grow and evolve as content creators.

One of the most exciting things that we had planned was a trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most prestigious endurance racing events in the world. It was an incredible opportunity for us to test our skills against the best drivers from around the globe, and I couldn't wait to see how we would stack up.

But before we could embark on this adventure, we had a few more track days ahead of us. We were going to take on some of the toughest tracks in the world, pushing ourselves to see how fast we could drive and what kind of skills we needed to develop.

And so, as I sat behind the wheel of my car, ready to take on whatever challenges came our way, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. I knew that it was going to be an incredible few days, and I couldn't wait to see what the future held for Alex and me.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys today we are headed to another track we're gonna meet up with some awesome people at a place called Willow Springs now I guess they have a bunch of different tracks here kind of like a Basu and we were driving on one of the coolest ones called Horsethief mile that's like built into the side of a mountain you can actually see it if you look out the window there's a big hairpin up there the like literally goes up the side of the mountain it's really hard to see from here but you get the idea pulling in in half I know I told you guys a bunch of rad people were coming out today but I didn't tell you the most raddest of all peoples coming out today today we gotta do a quick car check I haven't seen it since it was highlighter yellow it's been a been a big change don't love me on my highlighter yellow Adam you can't love me at my current state okay so one of my other favorite people in the world rad Dan can I help TJ get this thing all together take time he like so like we had like the pretty much like the structure of the car like the two front veranda in our shop was helpful for my buddy Eric and then we took it to dance and redo the whole entire interior button everything up and I pretty much like fine-tune everything so sorry at the front just like the biggest changed how we've done is that I asked Mike had him retrofit 370z - am that to clean that the whole entire dashboard another covered of like the original chassis harness ignored of all the that we didn't need and cleaned all that up so this is basically like a comp car now it's in Dan's words it's like a flow to part thing dang the bay and everything is still ugly I didn't want to have like frying we spray that and finish that up drinking season like so we just left it pretty much how it is but we did a I think last time you saw was still at the BQ so two days flop a single turbo Garrett 3582 our Gen 2 thirty-five are that's for Trevor pretty much yeah I mean it's pretty much the basic set up it's pushing like 500 and like 85 at peak boost it's not like 20 pounds I play about the moose and we can I can dial it from 10 pounds 15 20 so depending on my poem driving with or what track I'm out we can i dial it up so with Adams current state I'm gonna probably run lobos reviews for about even this is the setup that I should have done in s 15 rather than that overbuilt 3 4 motor that's probably gonna break I definitely regret I probably would have done the same exact setup same exact turbo I probably wouldn't even stock ECU just for Trevor but I know you didn't have a good luck with that oh yeah this it's pretty basic it just has all the nicest parts but like pretty basic it's rat I dig it I definitely improve I think it looks the best it ever has in white I very much so like it and TJ I was like the coolest tow rig with his BMW SUV look at this thing so sick what do you think in the cream car hasn't changed much you don't need to change it it's already perfect this is like my favorite 240 there it I like it a lot thanks that's not like most excited about yeah this track we've been talking about this for so long like how long like the past year I've been like I'm gonna come out to you or you're coming out here and it took me coming out to California just saying okay it doesn't look like hey just just hold a consistent line and I'll do my best to keep it close I'll do my best it looks like a sketchy track to tandem look at it you can see it up there it's gnarly all the tracks you've driven this is like in my opinion it's the hardest rock I've ever driven by its most fun I can see why it would be hard it looks like a lot of things or you really have to stay committed I personally like little technical tracks where this is like a baller high horsepower balls to the wall track you got to stay in it or you're flying off the side all right I'm gonna walk around the pits look at some of these other cars speaking of my favorite humans on the planet Z jacked in the house with his fresh LS 350 where's he at I don't know he's hiding Noah's here with his FD rotary of course this thing's so cool speak of the devil look again we were just talking about you on TJ's car yeah yeah good things nothing but good things what's the story on this thing man stock 95 non-turbo supra right Long Beach so that we fixed it up we're still waiting on body panels on this guy named Adam else he's like you gotta come to the track we're here look at it did it look so cool no never done it yeah it looks so wild from the back it makes the car look so short looks like an off-road like this stick so we got some crazy cars driving today Aaron's also got a rotary FD that makes lots of the ba-ba-ba-ba-ba so he's gonna start at first real quick Hey look who it is our other for the Alex start get a 1 dcs 14 not some sweet blood so three's stoked to see this car it will probably have some fun driving together Alex pilgrims actually wasn't rented out the track he's got a couple of his cars here that he's testing it's got some sweet stuff we're gonna go out on track and kind of get a feel for the course looks pretty crazy he's gonna drive it first looks crazy my gosh he's like insane is so cool holy Malan oh my gosh oh yeah it's fast look at that so insane this is the corner where most people drift it's weird I'm like scared to drift anything because I've never seen anyone drive it I almost need to follow someone that's the best line but that's rad and cuz it's a fast track my car gets a lot of airflow and stays cool I gotta get a better line which I use it a little bit more track with so I can stay in there this scared myself a little hello friends we have bad news so we were talking up the hill first like Oprah wasn't going and I'll send the car started like kind of sound like his dragon zip-ties but only with that like engine was engaged so if I push the clutch in it did make a fight I came in there like stop stop stop stop something my motor is not making good this may be the end jay-z swap they do fingers crossed it's just a rocker arm or something stupid so we're gonna pull the valve cover off and see if we can find anything weird it did sound more like head noise than block noise that's for sure moment of truth first person to spot the problem the shirt that's the problem burnt me I just lost one of those rubber things come on man all the rocker arms are there oh no that's not good what about a shim are we missing shim on any it was definitely tough em though yep sure missing no my time machine 10 she looks did it oh no my time using ginger like busted out I think I don't know it looks a little oily it's a timing chain issue I was checking the timing chain that sure tightened it down and they noticed that the nut just wasn't getting tight anymore which is very odd so I have a suspicion but this little nut here somehow let my time in jail and will not my timing triple mi-jin get loose and that's the cause of that noise on this night off what your great suspicion is correct when you just replace the stuff they get together that's great is it strip Tommy is it strictly correct it is very stripped that one little nut ruin could it could've could've blown up my sock I could have destroyed the whole engine oh wait are we good got some rice stuff this stuff sets in what like 30 minutes so we'll read a skit I mean chain tensioner with a new nut and put the ball cover back on it we should be ready to party hey good so fingers crossed she holds together now oh boy that's very very relieving please cooperate all day baby it's breaking up a little that might clear up on its own though I don't know that's weird it seems to be breaking up I'm gonna go check it out something just broke on my steering I just lost steering yeah like a tie rod or something just broken like the worst spot imaginable that sucks now we get it Wow My Luck today huh that is terrifying no it's broken something's broken yeah this is totally different I can't believe that just happened oh my gosh I'm follow you to the pit that time he's like oh really your tire rods broke and everything was fine I'm like Tommy this wheel is turned glass and then and then this wheel is turned right TJ you broke my car twice now dude I just flicked it I you really I I think I broke the tie rod honestly now what I expected that was a tie rod end just just snapped on me see look at that sick man I suck well just do a cool down real quick the whole point of today was so me and TJ could drive together and TJ's already burned through pretty much all his tires and he has two left so we're gonna try to throw some lives together both of us are very confident in the track but um that should make for some fun tandems it's been some laps to teach before you get on it on the straight wait for me to be behind you cuz like you got me before I got around that corner yeah cuz then I can stay with you and then we'll get a way better tandem whoops I wasn't paying attention to my line I got too excited teachers driving really really well this is a very difficult course this car looks so cool now there's like white I like stancy fans if you if you stop drifting or like you grip up just don't stop yeah cuz I'm gonna get close so if your car starts gripping up just don't slam on the brakes just keep powering forward dude I get right there and then I like I hold myself back as I lay on the brakes but I was perfect I could have done it haha I had my will whoo TJ that just made my day dude look at how perfect that is do I get to sign it you can see the read through it okay so listen listen here's a so I didn't want to hit you I just wanted to like touch you so I was worried about like coming in with too much speed and I just like wow yeah that was the goal so no that wasn't the goal dude I'm so proud of this is my first ever time where I can put on someone's car thank you that was rad I wish I wish like there was more driving and this was like a chill skid pad where we could just drive all day Oh was that where I hit your wheel yeah okay we'll see here's the thing so like that's what your wheel looks like now come take a look at my my work wheel all right my work wheel all right it's okay I got a good wheel repair guy it's worth it I get to sign yours and you get to sign mine that's the TJ hunt chunk right there breaks my car breaks my wheels has a little edge trick to my heart yeah you find like a car working after what eight hours yeah dude how much wasn't effective like well actually most people are done driving and I'm going done by the time Adam finished everyone's like all right let's get pictures for today see you guys next week and Adams like I don't think this was in purpose but this photo actually looks like we're all drifting right now that's pretty crazy we could do it see Jack the plug came bearing a gift what are these karma crafting fenders 1500 so we got over fenders for the Z now you know I know dude did you see my roll Java my Z yeah well look how good his car looks his car is like my goals for my car what do you mean does your car is so rad he makes these look good I love just car so much until he one LS had to say did your car work today just saying if it was an SR car what I got in 3 laps that's kind of funny how we did three days of super D at Grange that just like destroys cars and then we get out to were Steve at Willow Springs which is like a super nice racetrack and my car falls apart kind of ironic but that was very awesome I want to give a massive thank you once again to Alex for helping us out with the track rental he had a bunch of car issues too unfortunately but hopefully next time I'm out there we can get together we can get some tendons into that'd be pretty rad and of course I need to give a massive thank you to you guys because yes this video is my 2 million subscriber video I realized that seeing as I still haven't gotten around to make the 1 million subscriber video it would be much smarter just to plan something special like hitting TJ's car and making that the two million subscriber video rather than doing like a compilation or something that I know that I won't have time to do on the road 2 million subscribers is insane if we took a stadium and filled up 2 million I don't know how I don't even know how many people can fit in a football stadium because I don't watch football or any of that stuff but that's an insane number like so many of you guys out there and I'm incredibly appreciative of each and every one of you we would not be able to be in that kind of trip like this driving all these tracks without your support so thank you we've got some awesome stuff planned over the course of the next three or four days a couple more track days a couple more events so should be a lot of fun I hope the SR stays together and I hope you guys enjoy this video it was a lot of fun and I will see you not tomorrow but the next day because tomorrow's traveling so later mewhat's up guys today we are headed to another track we're gonna meet up with some

this driving all these tracks without your support so thank you we've got some awesome stuff planned over the course of the next three or four days a couple more track days a couple more events so should be a lot of fun I hope the SR stays together and I hope you guys enjoy this video it was a lot of fun and I will see you not tomorrow but the next day because tomorrow's traveling so later
