Picture figure skating meets high octane racing - that's the drifting world through the eyes of Zach Triggs, our guest for today, who happens to be the spokesperson for Fat Cats Racing. With him, we'll explore the delicate balance between control and chaos in drifting, the importance of alignments, and his unique perspective on why drifting isn't just a race. Imagine the thrill and precision of manipulating your car to drift, with the added excitement of maintaining proximity without collision. Join us as we talk tire sponsors, the lifespan of a set of tires on the track, and even how Zach changes his own tires.But it's not just all about drifting. We're also diving back in time to explore the evolution of the automotive transport industry. From the first semi-truck invented in 1897 to the automobile loading assemblies of mid-century America and the European Highway's invention in 1973, we're covering a lot of ground. We'll also discuss recent events that made headlines, such as the fire on a cargo ship carrying hundreds of EVs and the sinking of the Felicity Ace, with a staggering insurance estimate of $155 million. Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?
