Four seasons ago, a 15-year-old and his dad showed up at one of our clinics with a cool, V8-swapped BMW E28. We weren’t even sure if he was going to be allowed to drive, but they got it figured out and he set off to learn the basics. Today, that same kid is first in this season’s Drift Indy Street League rankings and has been proving his mettle with pro drivers on the Drift Appalachia touges. 

Cash Staub, now 18 and a high school graduate, lives and breathes drifting.

In recent seasons, a Hyundai Genesis, an uncommon sight at drift events, has factored into the ranks. Dayton Boy JP Hunnicutt pilots that 2JZ-swapped piece of Korean engineering. His history with drifting and the story of how he came around to whipping the Genesis is an interesting one!
