#205 - Mike & Zach of Fat Cats
3w ago02:14:12Tap to summarizeFor the final episode of the Texas Series, we sit down with Mike and Zach of Fat Cats at EMG, European Motor Gruppe, in the heart of Houston. What started as pixel cars and forum days in the mid-2000s turned into one of the most recognizable grassroots drift crews in the country. We talk about the early Fat Cats era, the shift to bright team colors, Final Bout memories, surviving Hurricane Harvey on the way to an event, and what it really takes to run a German specialty shop while staying fully invested in drifting. This one feels more like a live hangout than an interview—stories bouncing back and forth, plenty of laughs, and a real look at how long-term friendships keep a scene alive.@fatcats_fatcats@zachtriggs@emg_houstonCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTIONYou will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).@drinkAG1 #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/LIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!
