Fink RTR 2024
Would be insane
I mean who else would it be?
He would need to apply for a 'green card' before anything like that? Australians can't work in America without the visa and being a RTR driver i would assume would definitely be a paid gig
@givejamesacall don't need a green card just a working visa for the first year or so
IIRC theres a 1 year and a 5 year working visa which you can turn into a regular visa, if you got an employer that helps you? still looking into that because i wanna move over too... @@stylepoints.180
Lukes my nephew he is a man of his word . Hes got a lot more evolving to do. His family is so incredibly proud of him. we have been for a long time . Best father , sportsman and a incredibly humble human he was raised hard but the right way. Much love my lad ❤
It was awesome to have him on the show!
Was hands down on of the biggest privilege of my life being a coach at archy. Can't thank you enough for the opportunity brus.
1:40:00 definitely called me out! haha your kids definitely know how to party @lukefink nice job raising them like you are, i approve whole heartedly
Calling em out😂😂😂
We need Luke in a RTR.
Just imagine what he could do in an rtr car…
I've been saying this for a while now, unironically think if luke took chelsea's spot things would go real smoothly, luke is a very adept driver.
🤙
give luke the best car in fd and watch him destroy everyone i genuinely believe he would finish top 3 no bother

LUKE IS THE MAN. RTR WAKE UP
Shoutout to Luke for being such a humble dude with such a legendary status in the community. Another great episode, bro!
#CommentForTheAlgorithm
🖤🖤🖤
RIP Archy 😢. You built a scene and a legendary status for us back here in Brissy Luke.
Maybe one day his redemption will return🖤
We gotta all get together and build a new track. Can't ask luke to do anymore but damn right he'd show us how. We got the ppl and they're spending good money. I can see a business case but idk how to present it. We gotta have a homie who does that shit for a living.
Luke is hands down the greatest human/ dad ever! What a beauty podcast this was!
🤘🏽🖤
16:10 fond memories. West meets, Mt Baw Baw runs, dandy sessions, rallying the ke.
For a while I was going through 50 tires a week...good times
50 a week. God that sounds exspensive😅
Speaking of crown vic drift cars, another beginner car that I see a lot of people overlooking right now are the V6 mustangs, although I will admit I don't have first hand experience, all the videos and discussion I've seen show they've got enough power and torque to slide while not blowing the tires off in two or three laps. They're also seemingly a great starting point when it comes to getting your first experiences wrenching on your own ride while not breaking the bank. For all the research I've done over the years deciding if this sport is something that I'd seriously want to get involved in, this seems like the easiest and most realistic starting point. Also, if the time comes where your skills are limited by the lack of power, swapping over to a V8 wouldn't be nearly as difficult as, for example, V8 swapping a Z chassis. (Again, these are admittedly all assumptions, but ones based off data I've collected from people who have much more experience than myself.)
Thank you for reading my overly obsessive theoretical ramblings lmao
Archy beginer sessions got sooooo many f wits off the street and they learnt respect and got addicted instantly. This gave the ferals a reason to get their life together socialising with everyone from Christians truck drivers tradies and bank manager's. Clicks formed and progressed together into advanced sessions pushing each other and the whole attitude positive grins from luke the Ben's and jason patiently waiting for ppl to progress. They generally enjoyed explaining to ya how to keep up in a beaten au falcon. Hence the archy fam thang it truly was a family. The very last session was i believe probably one of the most pure grass roots drift sessions that's ever happened. We had loki on the line sending 20+ train's for 4 hr straight. If they spun ya went thru em 😂the driving was unbelievable. Had my mate fee on my wheel and luke in my mirror. Feeona is a middle age truck driver who came to learn not having a clue and couldn't link shit for age's. I'm a kinda og with a head condition and luke fink is our mate above all else but also luke fink.
RIP ARCHY 🤙
Love hearing stories like this🖤
@@circleofdrift yea had to share bro way to many awesome stories 🤣like cheech carrying a full cresida fuel tank sitting in the middle of the track or luke says go looking for oil i come back with a bit of a rod n no oil 😂and the moment we realise that we hadn't refilled it 🤦
Was a pleasure to coach you dude. So thankful for our friendship and all the friendships at archy
@@sidewaysthings498 is that the brother benkei 🤯 didn't know ya had a channel I'm subbed now 🤙
Cat was like thats my new hooman🤣🤟
Right🤣
I started getting into watching and learning about drifting while saving to move to aus. I got to see a few practice sessions and watch Naoki at archy and it was some of the best times I've ever had. Hearing what car he learned in has made me feel better about me trying to learn in a Holden commodore ute v6 auto.
Screw what you’re driving homie! As long as you’re learning and having fun, that’s what matters🖤
Luke is such an absolute aussie legend! Can't thank Luke, his wife, family and the whole Archy team etc enough for everything they did keeping the track alive for as long as they could! Got to do 3 beginner events in my dream s13 and had the absolute time of my life! Archy will be forever missed and it's a HUGE loss to Queensland drifting!
What a good hang! Let's hope Luke can figure out how to stay in the states would be super sweet to see him at events
I’ve never seen Luke not make one of his goals happen so we shall see🤘🏽
Luke fink bought me here. 💪🏼💯💯
From attending the first ever car show held on the original go kart track to being at the last ever drift event, Archy has been part of my life. I lived about 20 minutes away so it was very easy to go down and watch. I was only ever a spectator but it still was an amazing point in time to be present for.
I have gone from asking my parents to take me, to driving there as a learner driver, to driving myself, to driving there to spectate with my wife. I have brought at least 30 of my friends along over the years, for many of them it was the first time they had ever seen drifting in real life. All the nights coming home with rubber and dirt on face, teeth, clothes and in your hair, maybe even a broken tail light trophy to put on the garage wall, ears ringing and face muscles sore from smiling. Always a good time.
The only drift place that treated you like an adult and let you stand about 12 inches away from the track walls, the only place that had a fun day and gave out water balloons for the spectators to throw at the AU drift cars while they drifted, the only place that didn't enforce any kind of "vehicle inspection", giving guys from low income backgrounds the ability to enjoy drifting and forget their worries for a couple hours.
Truly a car playground for the factory worker, you would see guys in work uniforms covered in dirt from welding or diesel fitting all day, they have been up since 4am and put in a 10 hour shift, drive directly from work in their street registered $800 AU or BA Ford Falcon drift car, tires in the back seat and strapped to the roof, drift from 4pm to 8pm, load the car back up with dead tires and see which ones have the most tread left to semi legally drive home, drive out the gates and get finally get home at 9:30pm. For many, the only car they had was their drift car, it was a tool for happiness and a tool for work. No trailer needed when your drive your drift car to the event and back but these guys had no other option.
I will truly miss that place, so many memories spanning from my childhood to my early 30s, I ended up buying a bunch of Archerfield Drift Park stickers, I have one on all my cars, Luke really changed more lives than he gives himself credit before. I got to chat with Luke a few times, sometimes he was busy and would give a short but polite answer, other times when things around the track was a bit more relaxed, he had plenty of time to chat, explain and generally make it feel like it was just big crew of mates hanging out, even the people watching felt part of the action and scene.
Thanks for having him on the podcast, he is very humble about his skill level and the want to teach others so willingly is something to be admired.
That place sounds like a drift paradise. Its sad that it closed down but the sport of drifting will keep on growing and hopefully there will be more tracks opening up around the globe. Thanks for sharing your story. We appreciate it and we need more people to share their experiences and welcome the new generation of drifters.
Luke is a Beast !
TONSSSSSS of good info in here for newer drivers
🙏🏽🖤
still watching this video 2 weeks later, trying to soak up all the knowledge i can from the one and only! Luke man you are literally the most aggressive drifter I know, im right there with you, i have still to this day never put a handbrake in any of my vehicles, even in my 1.6 miata, flicking that bih was the only way i could confidently initiate and know exactly where my assend was gonna end up
Love Luke he is a legend. Also I saw some aussie news. Moog from mighty car mods got asked to be a host for a season of top gear Australia.
"Tire on bow" 😂😂😂😂
I mean he ain’t wrong🤣
@@circleofdrift it was hilarious
#archy was home. Best track in the country hands down. Built so many good solid drivers and provided some of the best events aus has seen.
Cash kings 2018 with Ken Gushie was epic, Adam LZ event and the final comp with diago Sato was fireeeee
To the handbrake thing, it’s absolutely incredible how much faster I progressed when I got a z that the handbrake didn’t work. I got busy and never got around to fixing it. In the last 3 months I think I progressed further than the last 6 years.
Procrastination can sometimes be a good thing I guess🤣
Luke is the real deal. Less race car driver more X FACTOR!
Characters he knows what's up.
Chelsea gave us one of the most exciting seasons ever because he goes HARD.
Fink would destroy in RTR !!!!🙏 Ford make it happen if you want another killer season !!
Couldn’t agree more!
❤ Rb motors. Luke your awesome and i can’t wait I to drive with u again man .. sick rbs !!!!!
Rb the world🥲🖤
1:15:00 I couldn't agree more. Growing up in the slammed dully truck era (California low riders, as we called them) and have always/still wanted one.
Slammed dually on some chrome alcoas semi wheels🔥🤌🏼
I do regret not going to Archy more! Miss that track! Luke is a beast🔥
Agreed, loved having him on the pod!
LFGGGG!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Told you I’m bringing the heat🫡
The podcast I have been waiting for!!!!
Who’s you need next😎
@circleofdrift I dought he would do it, but I would really love to see LZ.
@@circleofdrift Jason Farron from Keep it Reet 💯❤️🇦🇺🤙
Love the episode man. We need to get this guy a place out here 🙌
Wouldn’t that be epic👌🏽
This was great!! You should definitely do a reel of him talking about tandems with the boat that made me laugh 😂
I think that one is a must🤣
Man I got a10yr old son and just getting into drifting. Went to my 1st event and he rode with me and loved it so much. I was just practicing on a kid pad and drove like shit but it didn't matter to him. As soon as we left he was asking when the next event is.
Great sit down with luke, Rtr you couldnt get a better replacement. Good rolemodel and family man. If competition in fd were not worried this year would be next if add luke to line up.
I definitely agree👌🏽
Man luke is such a legend hadan awesome time with him at hyperfest 23 was tryna get a ride with him but ended up in brendon greaves car wich he blew hus motor for me cuz i was screaming so much got em.hyped and he went hard af. Next time luke but i was able to get a pic with luke and dudes just an awesome chill giant he massive compared to lol i am a bit small kevin hart size to be exact but still dude towered over me. Been training hard on sim and just baught a cheap ass gs 300 i found so hopefully soon im out there putting tire marks on his door soon also. Just cleanable tire marks. Love listening to all these shows while im at work first thing i look for every week. Keep up the great work podcast is dope af. Allows us dreamers and beginners to get the inside scoop and not make the same mistakes.
KEEP GOING! Just glad to see more people getting into it🖤
We gotta get Sultan on a podcast, he has some mad builds for sure
One day! Got a TON of people in the works👌🏽
I used to have a whole room full of trophy’s we donated them to the local elementary for a project they had.. I miss them lol
Is it just me or whenever I see Luke drift I want to drop whatever I’m doing and just go drifting 😂
You are not alone🫡
"They just make you rad." Ahh, best dad, Just like he says, Life isn't worth living until you have a little one to protect and love.
Had the onevia up to 150-160 on the reg in the advanced sessions. Never had as much track time at any other track ever.
I just got my foxbody running, I need to do alignment and it will be ready to take to the track.
Eyeball her and send it🤘🏽🤣
@circleofdrift that's where it's at now. I really just need to adjust caster and cut a fender
I got to talk to him at NO STAR at kilkare. This dude is legit🙏🏻
This👌🏽
ima door all my friends today!
Best one by far
Thank you🖤
Great pod! Saw Luke Shred with Jenny The Boat at TandemX. Was a great sight 😂
Wish I could’ve been there to see it🤣
@@circleofdrift For sure!! Come up to va sometime soon Jenny shows up to a lot of drift events ive been at! 👀👀👀
yeeeeesss fink!
Crown vic drifting sounds awesome I know a guy with a bunch of crown vics and a race track down in Florida 😂
I doubt cleetus would do drifting with them though
Luke, you should pitch Chevy. Like pitch Chevy hard.
I am guilty of being the lazy vette driver 😂. They are absolute weapons in the right hands, though. Best chassis out of the box.
Yeeewww!!!
He’s so good
Such a legend🤘🏽
It took me nearly the whole 5 days to listen and watch this
Very proud of luke and the fam with how much dedication. Speak to nappy boy automotive. I think everyone is happy at nappy boy to give you seat time 🤣🤣
My question though.. who is the current best pro driver in Australia. Not new Zealand.
Following up, would you work worth anyone in the future from aus to bring them to the states
Fire podcast
🙏🏽🖤
Luke is so sick
Literally moved to Australia for archer field alone and it got shut down the month before I got here
That’s a bummerrrrrr😵💫 I’d be pissed
luke you need to make a comp video with all the old runs from then , i remember when you and jack shannahan battle'd mondello
To this day kazama is still my favourite driver purely because he did the rodeo door donuts
🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
🖤🖤
Sad that the track got closed.
Out of curiosity what was the song at the very end of the podcast 🙏
ARCHY FAM 🤙
Wish I could’ve driven there once😢
@@circleofdrift same here..was on a mission building a soarer and wanted to reveal it there after finally moving from Sydney to the Rocks to edge the driving distance to only 4 hour trip to Archy.. instead of 12...and got the worst news ever..Archy is SOLD...so crushed I never got to drift it in my lifetime.. Love the FINK FAM forever 💯❤️🇦🇺🤙
@@circleofdrift ummmmmm well 🤔 it's still kinda their and 😂
Oi it's my car at 42:57 😂😂🔥
Google helped me find it🤣
Hahaha what did you google to find it 😂
Myspace started August 1st 2003
Keepitreet has the AusCreams13
Related to Larry Fink?
Hmm I think the r32 in Ireland 🇮🇪 was 400ish bhp it had top mount turbo fuel cell tube framed and all that jazz
Against litterally the most advanced drift car that exists currently
I don't disagree with that at all
Luke to Nz with a RTR build/team

I'd love to help you in FD if you go LUKE!
what's that outro song????
Derek Jeter - Nick Nayersina👌🏽
ayyyee brah thanks@@circleofdrift
1st comment!
On it🔥
You should get Mike Kojima!!😄 That would be sickkk
This would be a good one👌🏽
14:30 lol no
But style is literally the most important thing about drifting. Cars that look whack with the worst aesthetics make me not want to be associated with drifting in any way
Wouldn't say it's the most important thing.. I think the drifting is the most important thing, style is after that
Style is very important. Trust me I want everyone to have a sick looking car but it’s more important that people just get into drifting. They’ll realize eventually you can’t get ahead without some style
Style isn't just wheels and aero. Style is driving style too. The car aesthetics need to match the driving style. Can't have style without style. And if you're just starting, you don't have any style to build your style off of.
Most underrated driver in the game
For real🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@circleofdrift I feel like he's put in more work to drift than most people on UA-cam and still hasnt gotten much for recognition besides adam lz and chris rudnick
ive had at least 5 crown vics, they are dogshit slow, feels like a boat on wheels, all the retired cop cars are auto
This guy is a one trick pony. He's a good driver but people think he's great. He's not. Yay, he did a backie, awesome trick dude 😂😂
1 trick pony lol ok
