glottic clutch kicks and you know having definitely Troy used to care to its limits to actually get around the track I think it's definitely away any driver should learn if you want to just have a bit of fun like you know it's definitely the way to go just a standard care and just try absolutely it's weird being in schools you know because it's like my friends like no one's really interested in Caravan you know but it's not like playing a sport you know it's not like being famous for playing a sport you know you're doing more sport like it's something that you don't be accomplished for anywhere we'd like you know like if you're famous for being like being a soccer player you're known all over the world for no matter how good or bad you wear you know like you're on team like it doesn't matter you're trying your best to be known everywhere and trying your best like people to understand what rifting is like the last year on drift ourselves first year hotel here I think you finished fifth in the European Championship which we couldn't believe lakeyanna I was just over the moon Jack Shanahan grew overnight like he before us everything just went so quick like his whole name just went through the roof and even for us to adapt to that was you know unbelievable we did about 5,000 kilometers our own trip drive put him moving back you got a podium he was told over on in Sweden and I was just so happy like it was just bootleggers I quite understand much humor me as in leg you know I was so happy like you know nice to say that he's a project friend my brother is a challenge people think we're crazy all I wanted it was live take the boys racing and have some fun every weekend it's tough when it's only me and dad you know that people are like all but you have this new of that and they don't understand that reform once before of it where stuff in the galleries nearly every night you just working on the care like Jeannie and I don't want just arrived on to the track and just sit here and enjoy Vaughn let me just hop over and just walk away you know it's never been that with me and I've done I said I don't want to be that way because if you don't know you're Carrie you don't know nothing you know that's the way I look at it like all the money that I've earned since I was like eight or nine it's all spin to drift cars you know like I bought my first horrible bought my first shot with his you know I can't get a job I can't earn money in a way that a normal person does like I always worked for dad like I come off the school bus at the shop and I stayed or Monday to Friday like from like four to six just so I can be helpful towards him like you know and I come to the garbageman I really want to be like you know on a Saturday I work all day Saturday just trying to earn my keep you know just making sure that he sees that I you have respect for him and that like John not taking anything for granted people think that he's a spoiled fifteen year old child that gets out in front of him there's a policy in the house with his mother myself Norwalk no racing connor is my 11 year old brother who's ever started drifting just the last 2 or 3 weeks so it was kind of always in the nature for him to get into drifting and all that but when I came to us you know I didn't think he'd take to it as fast he did I always said like when Jack was small that he had serious care control and I always knew that driftin would be definitely for him looking at Connor I would have talked to Connor was a Nova racer like he races in the the track and was green and he's been really quick and I always thought that that would be his niche but looking at him now I think he's probably he's gonna go drifting as well she's the first time I see him driving a couple of weeks ago I couldn't believe that he actually put it together so quick he's his tour net he's no fear of anybody or anything really I wouldn't be a fearful wasn't a lot of us today I can give boiler the car was absolutely flying we had great fun and then I was coming down about a hundred mile an hour and flicked in underneath the bridge when I kick the clutch the gearbox not broke the whole gearbox adidas fell down the floor so I just spun around and then they completely backward on the track at the building I think my dad has one of the best drivers I ever seen when he was 16 he like stole his dad's car and his dad to race car and got his friends to tow him to his first race there and he wanna cook he didn't even know we were there I went order with my first day racing and I want to trough it I told him after what I was doing he said I was crazy it definitely brought them all after making John you know when things go against you when the chips are down he will he will pull something out of somewhere to get back going or Johnny f40 was in twitter's he's just won the million really as was I think he's definitely the biggest influence on my driving because without him I know nothing you know even in the garage volcanic hairs he always like he's always there we build a counter get her we walk together and I give him my two hands if I could just get him out on the track at the end of the day we brought home and put it on the lift suite off the gear without fixed aliens amongst neighboring cut the engines place and we just kind of tidied everything up and put it all back together we got the stay off like most of the night fingers Kara going over to bed at like four and Devon together like two sticks about for something so it was a really long night thing it scary going but we got it going we got a driveshaft made the next morning and we were able to portobello connections because with a practice table it would be great they could make a living a proper leave and out is something that you you know you loves more than anything in the world I suppose anything you do is about having fun right you can have the competitive side of it but if you're not enjoying something it's not worth doing so but that if they even to go on a competitive level that you still enjoy what you're doing most important thing for myself a Jonin jackson connor is that number one I suppose that were happy and it's a real family time forced to head away at the weekend so obviously they're gonna get big Bush you know I hope that we'd always be able to do that for as long as we can possibly do that you
