Klutch Kickers Round 5 (Raw Drift Battles)

[Music] we're here at the last round of clutch kickers guys it's gonna be a wet and rainy one this has been an amazing series probably some of the best driving i've been able to do with some of the best drivers brings awesome people out from all over the cars aren't too too crazy and the track's super fun i got the e36 out and we've got some good motivation this time which i'll fill you in on after we get this thing unloaded [Music] so we've got quite the skeleton crew everyone's been super busy because of fd and jinge is out here spotting and i haven't told you this this new motivation i found if i win get a hot tub you're gonna lose all the prize money for a sick hot dog oh i got a spot real good and i will get one on monday if i if i can take home the w so collector yeah i know dude he'll be so sick we got a sprayer collette i got my personal water spare here to keep the car cool yeah i'm excited i think we can do it i think we can i don't have any of the tires that i normally run on this car so we're actually running the same 285 achilles that i run an fb car so it's gonna be like hooked up on a new level today's gonna be rainy i think tomorrow will be dry but yeah it's watching me like a huge difference the goal today is buy run buy run run gotta get the buy yeah all right i'm gonna go get a tax go [Music] um [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the puddle is like six inches deep and cars are going into it and it's like a geyser bumpers are flying up so they actually called b rack b practice b practice they called b practice b brackets so they called it so it's there's no b they called it b practice because they called the no practice for until dry um i am so terrified of driving just because i don't have windows and i shouldn't put windows in because i physically have them all i have to do is make the mounts for them oh wait i cut the mounts off the door to make them look cool that's a problem regardless i don't have windows i'm cold i just want to go bowling and or have a hot tub right now first lap out there i'm really hoping i didn't damage the head uh there's a fitting in the back that we kind of have hooked up to a crossover and it popped right out so i had no cooling in the head on that lap i smelled the cooling real bad and saw it kind of evaporating but i thought it was water at first i just [Music] never happened to me before but there's like a fitting in the back of the head where uh like i said we have a crossover for the coolant and just kind of popped out on its own little things man [Music] so get on there threw some baby well on there problem is if it still leaks we're just going to keep building air in the system so it might be one of those things where i have to keep adding water or potentially like swap caps or figure something out but as for right now is the best solution to get through today it just sucks there's like no area to get to it [Music] [Applause] [Music] it appears as if the jb weld is holding uh blood the car no leaks power seeing a little league fix that made a couple adjustments suspension-wise we go out there's no top 64 tonight they got bumped back until tomorrow still the let's just do a good enough fire run to where we uh don't have to do top 64 tomorrow and that's one less battle right here so my gopro in car didn't work before um helmet cammed up so i can talk to you guys uh probably not gonna have it this way for comp but at least for practice uh my last run that you guys already saw uh it was just it was wet it was all right car definitely needed some adjustments and then i had that issue where i lost coolant so i didn't get to do any more practice run so one practice run in because of the weather it looks like i might only get one or maybe two more runs today um and then we'll be going into qualifying but regardless i feel pretty confident in the car and the track and uh it's drying up now so should be fast just gotta be careful because i know there's some wet spots but jinger's letting me know everything on the radio should have brought a rag to wipe off my feet they keep slipping off the clutch i almost rear-ended the person in front of me who's ironically shulman probably thought it was on purpose [Music] hmm [Music] some great advice from ginge going into the first outer zone it's extremely wet so everyone keeps spinning there um so i'm just gonna keep it real mellow on that transition just to not put it right into the wall [Music] oh uh [Music] all right round two i had my foot slip off the clutch put a little bit so drive that off wow this thing's hooked up all right let's see how she feels with a uh grippy clutch pedal usually i'm worried about gripping the rear tires this time just worry about gripping my dang clutch pedal uh i probably scared this [ __ ] out of shulman i did that on purpose [Music] [Music] um [Music] about to go out for my very first qualifying run shulman did phenomenal i wish we got a couple of it showman got a 79 i think he's selling is the highest qualifier right now um i'm gonna go out for my first lap i heard the track's way grippier i can see it visually and everyone that uh we've talked to said it's way grippier so i'm gonna kind of go in conservatively but still get a lot of throttle and then go for kale on my second run just make sure you get the points on the board because i want the hot tub nothing matters but i want it all right first qualifying run let's do this that was fun poor car is definitely not happy with me but oh good what's up brother oh no hopefully that doesn't zero me out they called it it did it did yeah as soon as you entered it this just popped right off i'm sorry dude damn i zeroed because my trunk flew open that sucks [Music] [Applause] um [Music] [Music] cargo vroom combat smoke broom broom i still did a little bit more risky run that probably should have my trunk still shut uh your a lot somebody got dinged with points but my way of playing conservative was just kind of like not flicking it super deep and hard into the zone and then just kind of adding angle and going a little bit wider with the foot brake rather than risking and potentially dropping the wheel um it worked i did it how i wanted to i didn't do too conservative to where i would have felt like i'm not cool so the end of the day drifting is all about having fun and feeling like you're cool i can't see anything so you know i made a lot of smoke [Music] [Music] [Music] second place mike pollard in first place another one and done tonight good job on the comeback [Applause] breaking my things she sprays my car then she she's been a great help today it's been awesome here awesome day top qualifier i'm pumped uh you know i was definitely super nervous my biggest fear was that i was gonna double zero because if i got a zero i would have been able to compete and i would have cried my way all the way home and never had a hot tub so tomorrow we got hot tub motivation and like if this works if i win then maybe that's why i needed fd maybe i just need to get a hot tub for every round because i like i feel like if there's one thing i could change about society and like our generation is like there's not enough hot tubs it's like an old person thing but they're great you know especially my back's been bothering me um i just want to hang out with with the bros and the lady and just chilling hot tub we'll see you tomorrow [Music] standing practice today uh i feel really good going into practice today having confidence in the car knowing that i can run the main lead line as you guys know normally in competitions i'm always freaking out about not having the best lead because in the end of the day even though it looks like you would be judging from the chase uh they usually weigh more heavily on the lead because you can't have a good chase run without a good lead run so i'm gonna go in do a quick lead and get some chase practicing um hmm [Music] hmm [Music] [Applause] [Music] ah [Music] you [Music] you'll be right back ah and here we go adam ld will get the win here in our first battle at top 32 here round five plus your hundred thousand dollar grip series all right so unfortunately i was dumb and put my gopro on the wrong mode for the last clips instead of helmet cam we got that uh cage cam so you didn't hear me talking but solid battle um pretty close i got the win no one more time and i'm feeling pretty good going into the top 16 now [Music] hello and also based out of florida piloting at 1.5 jc e36 thanks to bc racing achilles tire sheriff trevor ecu master adam lz so um [Music] [Music] so [Music] uh [Applause] [Music] congrats buddy moving on [Music] so ninja told me to not follow aggressively but that just happened uh it was a really fun run um power steering i don't know if you've seen the gopro on the video again my stupid gopro wasn't working um big issues so we're ready in case there's a five minute call swap everything out um but it's it's weird we tried a new system that i'll have to go into more detail when johan's around because it's kind of complicated um but for now i think it should be okay it might just be a thing when the power steering's cold i don't know hopefully it's good for my next battle we're actually going up against kevin lawrence you guys know we've got a bit of a history battling out at this track i know he is actually down third gear so they had to re-gear his car so he could drive first and second so he's at a slight disadvantage there but i'm excited to drive with him we always have a good time and i think he's going to do really well but we're going to beat him or at least try to do our best i'm always like scared of jinxing myself by saying absolutes so a lot of time you guys think i'm like talking down to myself but i'm just trying to you know just be realistic and have fun car feels great i'm going to try to warm up the power steering a little bit more by shaking around a bit in the beginning and hopefully that gets rid of the shakes that i've been feeling that sun is brutal [Music] god kevin's like my kryptonite i just didn't get in throttle soon enough i think i was overthinking the sun what a bummer big [Music] um [Music] just got to do the best chase we can i wanted a hot tub oh my mom [Music] [Music] damn ah that stinks big sad [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] great oh everybody uh um [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] very trapping man a little too much i had so much fun i definitely feel like this is the best i've ever driven that car possibly ever driven ever just a dumb mistake i wanted colette to uh recite the pre-run experience and maybe you know what no i was just telling you to cheer up because you're really pissed i wasn't pissed okay you were frustrated i was upset with myself that i i made a dumb mistake i was telling you to cheer up and have fun and he just texts me back oh i'm gonna have fun and i just didn't respond i was like you know what i'm just gonna wait and see what happens and was really nervous but now i know what you meant yeah i got a little too saucy and i kind of messed up my lead a little bit and then on the chase i was just like there's really nothing to lose for a fifth or sixth place battle so i just i tried to do like the best possible chase i could and i kind of messed up a little bit but i was the most i've ever painted someone's doors without them like trying to like put a good lead run for me that was really fun and i had a blast and above the series is over but i haven't got a lot of big stuff planned for next year overall this is like the first time we've ever built a car for a purpose other than the s15 which in jukubel um and that wasn't even for fd like we put this car together for this series and i think it's a phenomenal car it did everything that you need to do in the series really well and it's been so much fun to drive so i'm super appreciative of all my sponsors that have helped me put this car together and the clunky kickers for putting on such an amazing series it's been so much fun and i'm very excited for the store and i hope you guys enjoyed the footage for this video [Music] when you say

18:55+ I am so impressed that s14 kept in that lmao

[u/g3us]

he was driving like a mad man...that e36 its a weapon...

also...good friend for not putting the s13 fire in the video...

[u/stripelife13]

Some of his best driving for sure. Relaxed adam could give those pro1 guys a decent run, he gets in his head too much. Should meditate or something, it helps with anxiety and overthinking

[u/redundant35]

Mike is listening to our request. More slo-mo

[u/Sprinqer]

Car looked suuuuuuper gripped up, hell yeah brother

[u/Ajkgta17]

him getting a 0 on his first qualifying run was total fucking bogus. theres nothing in the rulebook for klutch kickers that states a trunk popping open results in a zero. stupidest fucking rule ever. from a competition and viewer standpoint i was appalled they did that. if his hood had flown open and he had to let out of it then yeah sure it’s a zero. trunk didn’t fly away or anything so why score a 0.

[u/faisalmmm132]

This car is FAST

[u/Velcrochicken85]

He makes big mistakes everytime his under real pressure, not sure what he can do about it but must be super frustrating for him.

[u/Zondax]

I really like those powerpoints Mike call slowmos :)
