Man I love Cleet, but clearly it was his error but with his fanbase being so big it sways public opinion because his name generates clicks and revenue. Glad HiBoost could clear this up.
L take. Everyone wants a clean race. All he did was admit he’s not fast enough to beat cleet so he has to try and trick him to win. That shit is LAME as fuck. Anyway you slice it, it’s unsportsmanlike and a dickbag move.
I love Cleetus! And I knew from the get go he was the one that messed up 😂 but don't try to explain that to the rest of the minions most of them have never been in the culture. Cleetus actually understood his mistake and enjoyed the whole event..
The compresson in a honda motor is bananas for instance take a k24 and put on a k20 head and the compression is 10:1 them engines love boost. but even if you cant squeeze 3000hp out of a honda engine you can get over 1000hp and the are light so the can out run a good amount of cars on the track
@@chadkent1241 on a half ass job you can make 1000 with a k24 block k20 head and a turbo pumping out 50 psi of boost with cast pistons at 10.2:1 to 11.6:1 with a fully built motor you can get 3000 hp out of a K series is fairly easy if you have deep pockets
Yea , not “punish” …nothing wrong with “taking advantage “ he would have been rushed to stage if he went right in . Ppl know Cletus shouldn’t have went it that quick . Feral had the slower car . Obviously he needs an “advantage” to win . Cletus still launched first and got pulled around . Also the light was malfunctioning. No way you can drop in and out the light like that
@@DifferenTimeepoint is he cant stop contradicting himself, he says one thing then contradicts it's trying to sound tough over and over lol anybody that doesn't have a side and watches this can see that. Genuinely caught a random reel of that race and was like wtf, then seen a couple videos of this dude and he's maybe the most unlikable person I have seen in a minute.
Checking in from Jamaica 🇯🇲 the dirt track that 45 raced at is place that we call Mexico. However all the big races with the 7,8 & 9 Sec cars are held at Vernamfield which is an abandoned airstrip that’s prepped as best as it can. Big up Hiboost you’ve come a looooong way! See you in Jamaica 🇯🇲 on Dec 15 at Battle of the Belts.
I have been watching cleet for years. I remember seeing this live and watching him lose, I was originally upset and thought High Boost cheated. I was sent this and it changed my whole perspective. At the end of the day Cleet made a mistake and paid for it, It may have been over 7 seconds but the light didnt go red. It was kinda upsetting to hear that cleet did what he did after and didnt show any respect, and High Boost has a point at the end of the day its a race and cleet has the money to come back next year and try to win. I am a muscle car person and still dont understand why people hate on hondas, 1700 hp in a 4 cylinder is wild. I definitely think some people should start looking at the other side of the story and not just litsen to only one side. I will still watch cleet and root for him but I definitely will be more open minded next time.
Claims he didn't burn him down then explains how he burnt him down. Lol. Did he play by the rules? Yes. Was it still a burn down? Yes. Just own it and say you burned him down.
At the end of the day at World Cup that isn’t the way anyone wants to go out. But when money is on the line at the biggest race event of the year rules are rules and anyone will do what they can to get to the next round. Straight up dude great podcast.
So he did burn Cletus down though? I’m just confused because he said he didn’t? I think Cletus was that upset because he had a legit chance to win the event, it was on Cleet for going in first. Feral clearly isn’t over it though either
No he's a little b**** I can't stand him Garrett didn't have a problem with him until he started running his mouth afterwards and flipping them off when he rode by... Garrett was mad at himself in the beginning but the way the guy acted online is what irritated him it seems like because that in turn made all of cleets fans go at him
Cleetus messed up, He went straight to staging all the 4 cylinders guys need time to spool up well Feral had 6 sec to spool thanks to Cleetus.. 😊 Feral is definitely not over Cleetus minions bashing his page and his business 😂😂😂 I can't blame him.. I might go to his shop tomorrow to give him a hug Feral is a cool dude.
@@seanrose3951 Yeam mean for cleetus imagine going on to a scooter the next day into the guys pits crying that "he got burned down" when Cleetus staged too early like a goofball lmao
Great interview as always, Hiboost is a straight up guy, got a lot of laughs, and quite a few 'aha' moments, looking forward to seeing you both In Jamaica, will definitely take him up on his open pit invite!👊🏼🇯🇲
It's not a burn down if the red light bulb dose not pop if you don't know racing you should keep your opinion to yourself , you never double bulb before a big turbo 4 cyl or rotor! One it takes them a lot longer to build boost than it does a V8 Cletus knows this and was trying to take advantage of the situation himself hoping that hiboost would have lag his turbo and would have fell off boost instead it backfired and hiboost did what any smart drag racing person would have done and took the advantage without even having to burn him down!
@JarradDumps-fk3ws red lighting and burning down has nothing to do with each other, what are you even talking about? Way to expose yourself and your knowledge of racing
The man slammed the door like crybaby and then didn’t even shake his hand at the end of race. You tell me who had the good sportsmanship. Quit riding that man’s meat
Lmao you must be the one that doesn’t understand bro! He didn’t burn him down. Cleetus double bulbed which starts a timer. (which is kinda a dirty move) and hiboost did what he had to do on his end and the red light still didn’t come on!!!

Just wanted to comment that I've been watching Cleetus for a long time. Since the begging of his channel honestly. When this incident first took place naturally I went with the pack and felt that he intentionally burned him down. (which by his own admission he made cleetus pay for going in early, but I also understand that cleet really didn't give him any curtesy and light both bulbs straight off the rip.) After watching a few interviews with HiBoost and hearing the interaction before and after the race, then the next day in the pits. Im a little saddened by how that all went down. As someone who used to drag race Harleys in the AHDRA with my father this is all racing norm. I will continue to be a fan of cleet however, I'm now also going to be following HiBoost. Dude seems like the real deal. Awesome interview!
10 out of 10 times Garrett wins that's why he played the stupid games he did in the first place nobody that's been racing as long as he has makes those mistakes on the tree without it being intentional if there's not a mechanical problem... And by how bad he got gapped in round number 2 by a car Garrett has no problem beating I'd say he was just an opportunist doing what they do... Also Todd Garrett a valuable lesson on never going in first unless you're racing people you trust
@@freedomfox8183 I’d agree that it was Garretts fault for going in first. While I might not agree with what feral did, if the organisers said he did nothing wrong then it is what it is. But with all the smack talking he did afterwards, I think he now has an obligation to run it again. Else he looks a bit daft running away from someone who’s been drag racing a decade less.

@@rodrigosanchez4977 He explained himself in a video and on Downstar’s podcast. At the end of the day he’s been the only one helping people out. Whether it’s giveaway builds,discounts,actually answering DM’s helping people troubleshoot issues, helping people out financially, doing full break downs and rebuilds etc. He’s done a lot.. Most people don’t care to help the lesser guys.
Same, cleet does seem like he could be a bit of a childish douche at times.. he has that main character ego But also this dude is way too emotional about this. All the cussing and yelling about cleet and his fans.. portraying himself very bad on a public platform
This guy is a genius.. going to pri looking for sponsors after talking trash about one of the biggest guys in the game and calling him a prick…. The same prick that flys out of pocket to hurricane damaged areas and rescues people and provides aid.. what a clown this dude is…
I remember when pharrel had that electric blue integra , that ish looked good and was fast ! He definitely set the bar with that integra back in the day for real . Big up pharrel keep it on the track bro stay safe .
nah! Honda put Hondas on the map, Speedfactory put Hondas on the map, Team Wicked Racing and Junk2 put hondas on the map..Stephen Papdakis put hondas on the map.. Brian from Hasport Put hondas on the Map..Golden Eagle Sleeves. PortFlow Design put hondas on the map. Brent From PFIspeed was one of the Honda Ogs in the game too. True Ogs If you know then you know. Before all these other honda kids came out.
I had to go back and rewatch that race at this year's WC. No matter the staging hackysack going on, Garrett left first once green, and Jonathan pulled ahead. Win some, you lose some.

This is the way OGs work. We can care less about all this stuff. People like this get hate because we have been through it all. At this point, it's for fun
Feral kept saying 08-09 he started but he meant 1998-1999. Been seeing him at Ave P, Doremus, Global , 440, 1&9... Feral (blue integra/jdm front), Dennis the cop (red eg), Orlando (blue dragon eg), Cunha Godfather of Boost (green 300zx tt & burgundy eg), etc.. They all used to entertain the streets
"I didn't burn him down, he tried to race straight up, and I took advantage of it, he could've let me pull in first". You just described burning him down and said "I took advantage of it"
Back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, my friends and I were driving Hondas in High School with swap B16 or B18 motors. Hiboost hit the target when he said it was all we could afford so we all drove Hondas. Some people today still give Hondas no respect. I think the reason is it’s a hard pill to swallow when a little fwd honda is gapping you. 😂
Also Honda never built these cars for straight line speeds 😂 At heart always a commuter car for the common people and it makes me so happy the streets took the Hondas and made them into American muscle killing beasts. Testament to 80-90s Honda, and year by year they keep on going faster.
For people that are complaining about cleetus getting burned down. Common sense for the driver should be known to get off the gas if you’re waiting on the next car. Turn your car off at the line and say you broke and take the time to cool off and restart. Learn to play the game and the system.
@@stealth.gr4 Was he disqualified though? No, he didn’t violate the rules set by the host. Did he intentionally burn him down? Yes but that’s an ethical issue. On the same token of that ethical coin, cleetus did bring a pro mod to race turbo 4 bangers. How ethical is that.
It’s a funny interview 😂. I love the Cleetus discussion as the interviewer is trying not to laugh while he’s yelling into the mic and obviously going back and forth on him burning or not burning him down.
Hiboost came along way. Everyone that street race n had hondas looked up to them and knew Cesar the Champ!!! Always seen them at Honda day. Swapping tranny cause they broke anything to get back in..... Bless ya bro you worked hard to be were u at.
Cleet should've known better than that, when I watched the live and I see him staging first. I said "Oh my god cleet, what are you doing? Stupid!" His friends told him to be careful with import guy before the elimination and he didn't listen. Look at bret on snot rocket, that pass where he line up with rotary guy I think, he was smart, not holding in on a chip. Almost burn him down but he can see it and back off from the two step half way. Cleetus there stage first, holding the two step like maniac. I mean, what did you expect? You gonna burn yourself up! As his friends always said, shout out to James Tall aka jack stand "That's Racing!" I'm his fans too, since he got the dale truck. I love and like watching him, but to see him being dumbfounded like that, is sure is hard on my end. I hope, next time he learned his lesson and listen to his guys, do not stage first before you sure your opponent is ready to go, not just import. Domestic too.
@josephfreeman1427 I know cuz I watch the video too. I feel bad for him but let's not forget that it's part of his lesson. From now on, I hope he will remember that race and always be careful.
Watching the low-class fan base that Hondas have make excuses and hate on Cleetus for no other reason than trying to distract from the embarrassment that their fan base actually is. They "Won" by racing dirty and then proceeded to act like low-class animals after they won. Say what you want about Cleetus, But nobody has ever been embarrassed to be a fan of his or associated with him. And nobody can say the same about this guys fan base.
On that question about how much it costs to run a Honda at an event. The people you ask think what it costs them and not so much a general cost and even still its a tough answer. Youd have to ask them "can you give me a rough breakdown of what it costs to be competitive at different levels and what is a fundamental aspect or view you need to have" Alot of us try to build a car that will work for both street and track and it pretty much never works out if you want to be competitive in either way. Just because a car goes fast on a no prep does not mean it will go fast or faster at a prepped track. If you want to build a car to have fun in and not take it serious but still want to win or atleast be in the ballpark it can cost as little as 4k-5k into a build, youre most likely not going to need a spare motor or trans unless it was already on its last leg but at that point you cant count it as a cost to race because youre not swapping out a motor if youre not being competitive and just doing it for fun only. Example you take a bone stock healthy single cam civic d16z6 or d16y8, put together a pretty cheap turbo kit that has some good parts like your wastegate, and a pulsar turbo, thats about 2k. Tune tires and ecu 1.5k-2k. Source some used dsm injectors and go hood exit exhaust or even a full exhaust for $500 and a decent clutch for $700. Now you have a 300-350hp civic you can beat on and have fun with just under $5k. You can enter the 12.50 or bracket class with
I had never been a fan of the Honda.... Until I saw Stephen Papadakis smash times back 20+ years ago. Now I just want a k20 with a simple turbo kit in a non-honda shell as a daily lol
58:53 perfect example of not answering the question, avoiding it, and trying to explain something else that isn’t related and trying to put blame on someone else. Cleetus owned up to going in early and his sportsmanship showed. This dude is a garbage bag of sportsmanship and shows exactly what kind of person he is.
Dude knew he had the slower car and ended up playing the game better to take the win. Nothing wrong with that in a serious competition. This is the difference between experience and resources. If the had both staged accordingly the drama could have been avoided. Cleetus dove in to early and this dude was not about to give up a potential win by not building his maximim boost pressure before launch. I completely understand Hi boosts situation here. Everyone complaining about the results has to remember booth people were running completely different machines.
So listen, I’m not gonna lie racing is racing but at the end of the day, the racer in the car can see his bulb if his bulb is flickering he knows he’s not fully staged therefore if the bulb is flickering for more than two seconds, you pull up and continue to stage he didn’t. He waited until the last minute a.k.a. (Burning him down) and then staged listen I am a four-cylinder guy at heart and I love to see Hondas compete, especially against the big dogs, but at the end of the day racing is racing and I understand high boost point but that was most definitely a cheap shot, he knows Leroy is faster. Therefore, he made the smart move to win the race. I understand. I would love to see both of those cars head up one more time.

This guy is one of the few that just races heads up with no bs
Here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 our track is actually a landing strip for small planes. Can’t wait to see you here bro. I would invite everyone to this event. It’s called “Battle Of The Belts”. It’s the craziest event ever keep thanks to BeBo.
I was wrong about hi boost.....man I got a lot of respect for him after this interview. dude seems hella cool
No one ever mentions Aki. Insane.
@@TheOGMcfly He’s helped the community for years. Very knowledgeable and builds some nice cars
Hes a cheater lol
@@rodrigosanchez4977why you say that just asking always wonder what happen wt them
@ bro got caught cheating mixing gas in an all motor class. Bros fraud af
@@rodrigosanchez4977 He explained himself in a video and on Downstar’s podcast. At the end of the day he’s been the only one helping people out. Whether it’s giveaway builds,discounts,actually answering DM’s helping people troubleshoot issues, helping people out financially, doing full break downs and rebuilds etc. He’s done a lot.. Most people don’t care to help the lesser guys.
Thank you for another banger video! Been waiting on this next upload! Will definitely be waiting for more🤝🏼🔥🔥
DO GHOST BOY AKI
I am a fan of Hondas and Cletus too but happy to hear this other side of the story.
Same, cleet does seem like he could be a bit of a childish douche at times.. he has that main character ego
But also this dude is way too emotional about this. All the cussing and yelling about cleet and his fans.. portraying himself very bad on a public platform
He needs to back himself up when cleet and friends are doing him dirty on his big ass UA-cam channel bro. He can’t stay shut!!
Feral’s a good man, always been nothing but nice and positive to me and I respect his humbleness 🙌🏽
This guy is a genius.. going to pri looking for sponsors after talking trash about one of the biggest guys in the game and calling him a prick…. The same prick that flys out of pocket to hurricane damaged areas and rescues people and provides aid.. what a clown this dude is…
Fishing pole shit got me 😂😂😂😂😂
Feral and Aki are the ones that got me into the Honda scene. Been in love with them ever since.
The cover ups for the swears is hilarious 😂😂
Puerto rico is an amazing island. Salinas is legendary 🙌. Then humble bought clms old hatch from pr. After it was painted black.
I'm super old school and love carburated v8s but there's something about a honda that's just downright amazing
I remember when pharrel had that electric blue integra , that ish looked good and was fast ! He definitely set the bar with that integra back in the day for real . Big up pharrel keep it on the track bro stay safe .
Hiboost put Hondas on the map
Damn, so 20+ years ago Stephen Papadakis did nothing with his record breaking Pass for the Honda brand? No shade to HiBoost
Brain dead comment
@@txddyfarquh69 I’m talking to the streets scene not no track homie guy
nah! Honda put Hondas on the map, Speedfactory put Hondas on the map, Team Wicked Racing and Junk2 put hondas on the map..Stephen Papdakis put hondas on the map.. Brian from Hasport Put hondas on the Map..Golden Eagle Sleeves. PortFlow Design put hondas on the map. Brent From PFIspeed was one of the Honda Ogs in the game too. True Ogs If you know then you know. Before all these other honda kids came out.
Also Tony palo, Alex from humble performance ❤
Avenue p back in the early 2000's was a great time for car enthusiasts!! Everyone was outside!!
This was definitely a good one, keep bringing on the OG Honda guys🔥🔥
You need to interview Aki
I had to go back and rewatch that race at this year's WC. No matter the staging hackysack going on, Garrett left first once green, and Jonathan pulled ahead. Win some, you lose some.
Yeah but heat the trans took on staging heat the shit out of it and it wont run as good. Well if you know racing
Another braindead comment. Go back and rewatch again. Maybe all videos from it. Got burned down and hit boost cut. You sound so dumb😂
@@irvingtorres5316It's not a burn down if the red light bulb dose not pop , you never double bulb before a big turbo 4 cyl or rotor! One it takes them a lot longer to build boost than it does a V8 Cletus knows this and was trying to take advantage of the situation himself hoping that hiboost would have lag his turbo and would have fell off boost instead it backfired and hiboost did what any smart drag racing person would have done and took the advantage without even having to burn him down
@@irvingtorres5316and if you know racing you know that was cleets mess up
@@irvingtorres5316 how does a manual trans over heat with the clutch in 🙄
This is the way OGs work. We can care less about all this stuff. People like this get hate because we have been through it all. At this point, it's for fun
Feral kept saying 08-09 he started but he meant 1998-1999. Been seeing him at Ave P, Doremus, Global , 440, 1&9... Feral (blue integra/jdm front), Dennis the cop (red eg), Orlando (blue dragon eg), Cunha Godfather of Boost (green 300zx tt & burgundy eg), etc.. They all used to entertain the streets
Get Aki on here !!
"I didn't burn him down, he tried to race straight up, and I took advantage of it, he could've let me pull in first".
You just described burning him down and said "I took advantage of it"
This dude kept it 100. He said, Fishing pole and painting 😂
Back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, my friends and I were driving Hondas in High School with swap B16 or B18 motors. Hiboost hit the target when he said it was all we could afford so we all drove Hondas. Some people today still give Hondas no respect. I think the reason is it’s a hard pill to swallow when a little fwd honda is gapping you. 😂
Also Honda never built these cars for straight line speeds 😂 At heart always a commuter car for the common people and it makes me so happy the streets took the Hondas and made them into American muscle killing beasts. Testament to 80-90s Honda, and year by year they keep on going faster.
For people that are complaining about cleetus getting burned down. Common sense for the driver should be known to get off the gas if you’re waiting on the next car. Turn your car off at the line and say you broke and take the time to cool off and restart. Learn to play the game and the system.
Yes, but dude still took over 7 seconds to stage. That's an auto DQ
Or you could just not be a low class human
@@stealth.gr4 Was he disqualified though? No, he didn’t violate the rules set by the host. Did he intentionally burn him down? Yes but that’s an ethical issue. On the same token of that ethical coin, cleetus did bring a pro mod to race turbo 4 bangers. How ethical is that.
@@OGAwsomSauce Lol exactly. he got beat by a 4 banger, just stop the bs. Yes it's a civic of all hondas lmao.
@@OGAwsomSaucenever heard of import vs. Domestic?
Then budget days are the best days of anybody's racing career that's what inspires to keep you going
I cant believe he does not have a UA-cam channel with all that he has done >please make one
It’s a funny interview 😂. I love the Cleetus discussion as the interviewer is trying not to laugh while he’s yelling into the mic and obviously going back and forth on him burning or not burning him down.
dude is getting real loud while comfortably far away from cleetus's face
@dannybauza cleetus wouldn't do anything stop it it's arace no need to get violent over a race 😂
Cleetus didn't anything but ride off on his scooter 😂😂
Hiboost came along way. Everyone that street race n had hondas looked up to them and knew Cesar the Champ!!! Always seen them at Honda day. Swapping tranny cause they broke anything to get back in..... Bless ya bro you worked hard to be were u at.
Man I was waiting for this one!!
Hi Boost vs Midnight Auto rivalry over a decade ago used to be EPIC 😂😂
Man I Used to pass by his Shop every 2 weeks when I came home from school in PA. Wish i couldve dropped by and see what it was like to be there.
I like this guy. I’ve never liked anyone who’s doing an interview with their car behind them lol but I like this guy
Literally all this channels interviews are like that
Cleet should've known better than that, when I watched the live and I see him staging first. I said "Oh my god cleet, what are you doing? Stupid!"
His friends told him to be careful with import guy before the elimination and he didn't listen.
Look at bret on snot rocket, that pass where he line up with rotary guy I think, he was smart, not holding in on a chip. Almost burn him down but he can see it and back off from the two step half way. Cleetus there stage first, holding the two step like maniac. I mean, what did you expect? You gonna burn yourself up!
As his friends always said, shout out to James Tall aka jack stand "That's Racing!"
I'm his fans too, since he got the dale truck. I love and like watching him, but to see him being dumbfounded like that, is sure is hard on my end.
I hope, next time he learned his lesson and listen to his guys, do not stage first before you sure your opponent is ready to go, not just import. Domestic too.
Garrett said that he's going to Stage last from now on every single time
@josephfreeman1427 I know cuz I watch the video too.
I feel bad for him but let's not forget that it's part of his lesson.
From now on, I hope he will remember that race and always be careful.
@@josephfreeman1427 thats gonna be awesome watching opponents let him sit forever
Watching the low-class fan base that Hondas have make excuses and hate on Cleetus for no other reason than trying to distract from the embarrassment that their fan base actually is. They "Won" by racing dirty and then proceeded to act like low-class animals after they won. Say what you want about Cleetus, But nobody has ever been embarrassed to be a fan of his or associated with him. And nobody can say the same about this guys fan base.
This episode is such a throwback. Being from Jersey this hits home
1998 i was street racing in Compton California. 1988 Honda crx si with a zc dohc and ran a 1.6 with 44mm sidedraft mikuni carburetors
Great Timing On Getting Him On The Podcast! Been Wanting To Hear His Side Of The Story...
On that question about how much it costs to run a Honda at an event. The people you ask think what it costs them and not so much a general cost and even still its a tough answer. Youd have to ask them "can you give me a rough breakdown of what it costs to be competitive at different levels and what is a fundamental aspect or view you need to have"
Alot of us try to build a car that will work for both street and track and it pretty much never works out if you want to be competitive in either way. Just because a car goes fast on a no prep does not mean it will go fast or faster at a prepped track. If you want to build a car to have fun in and not take it serious but still want to win or atleast be in the ballpark it can cost as little as 4k-5k into a build, youre most likely not going to need a spare motor or trans unless it was already on its last leg but at that point you cant count it as a cost to race because youre not swapping out a motor if youre not being competitive and just doing it for fun only.
Example you take a bone stock healthy single cam civic d16z6 or d16y8, put together a pretty cheap turbo kit that has some good parts like your wastegate, and a pulsar turbo, thats about 2k. Tune tires and ecu 1.5k-2k. Source some used dsm injectors and go hood exit exhaust or even a full exhaust for $500 and a decent clutch for $700. Now you have a 300-350hp civic you can beat on and have fun with just under $5k. You can enter the 12.50 or bracket class with
This guy been around for a while respect 💪
Pro fwd in the early 2000’s where running mid 7’s nobody has even come close to the consistency since.
I love the fact this guy held unto the name and repped it all the way. That says alot about the individual
Hiboost is humble AF . Great interview
I watch Cleetus’s stuff and when I saw the ‘burn down’ I 100% thought it was his fault. Talking about other people who can’t stage was poor form.
I had never been a fan of the Honda....
Until I saw Stephen Papadakis smash times back 20+ years ago.
Now I just want a k20 with a simple turbo kit in a non-honda shell as a daily lol
Damn, I remember Stephen papadakis. That guy was bad ass
who gonna break da record with 6 seconds honda 🏆
Speed factory runs 6,80
The bigger question is, which Honda will go 6’s next!
Ceaz da champ needs his own episode 🔥
I like that this dude is straight up and that's real. 💯 Facts
Ave P was different 🔥 great times
58:53 perfect example of not answering the question, avoiding it, and trying to explain something else that isn’t related and trying to put blame on someone else. Cleetus owned up to going in early and his sportsmanship showed. This dude is a garbage bag of sportsmanship and shows exactly what kind of person he is.
The clown is from jersey what do you expect
Doubt it would happen, but it would have been dope to see Cease, Akhi and Feral all on this podcast together reminiscing about the older days.
Need to get ghost boy aki on here too
💯
Aki....aki drsevres an episode on this Podcast idc what anyone says his name holds weight in the scene 🔫
💯
I phux with hi boost . Straight OG Honda head fr fr . And beating Cletus made me happy 😆. Rep for the community big homey !
Hi boost and taiboogie got me into Hondas I remember being in high school watching there videos
Says he didn't burn him down... immediately describes how and why he burned him down lol
Dude knew he had the slower car and ended up playing the game better to take the win. Nothing wrong with that in a serious competition. This is the difference between experience and resources. If the had both staged accordingly the drama could have been avoided. Cleetus dove in to early and this dude was not about to give up a potential win by not building his maximim boost pressure before launch. I completely understand Hi boosts situation here. Everyone complaining about the results has to remember booth people were running completely different machines.
Epic tuning had an awd car back in the day way before everything really took off
So listen, I’m not gonna lie racing is racing but at the end of the day, the racer in the car can see his bulb if his bulb is flickering he knows he’s not fully staged therefore if the bulb is flickering for more than two seconds, you pull up and continue to stage he didn’t. He waited until the last minute a.k.a. (Burning him down) and then staged listen I am a four-cylinder guy at heart and I love to see Hondas compete, especially against the big dogs, but at the end of the day racing is racing and I understand high boost point but that was most definitely a cheap shot, he knows Leroy is faster. Therefore, he made the smart move to win the race. I understand. I would love to see both of those cars head up one more time.
This interview is great brah 🤞🏽❤️
I made the mistake of trying to race that Integra on 1&9 back in the Car Tunes days.
Ek chassis code are for EK9 EK4 Ek3…. All the Honda that’s on the channel are EM or EJ
i love his reaction to the cleetus stuff, it was all in the rules, cleet messed up, not hi boost problem! and im a cleet fan myself lol
