Ive never been more proud of a man Ive never met before, Ive seen you grow so much in this career and hobby. Its been an amazing ride so far and i cant wait to continue to see you improve. You have great friends and an even better mind set.
I feel that man. It's kind of odd having that mentality for someone I've never met. If there's anyone that deserves the recognition it's Jimmy. Dudes grown so much even since I first saw him on lz's 240 video.
It's been a lot of fun watching Jimmy grow from momma oakes garage to where he is now. And the boys? Jimmy has a great choice in friends and always surrounded by a crew.
Gotta say bro, you're the only person around you that doesn't have full confidence in you. I think thats your weak spot. You need to believe in you bro. Know that you're the shit and gonna rock whatever you're doing
I think it’s his strength. Cause he’s so humble and down-to-earth that it’s mind blowing. Especially in current times when most people think they’re special.
Car faults aside this was an epic video Jimmy was so stoked for you, we need more of this lol. Need to get that confidence up and be a bit more lucky with the mechanical problems lol.
Super proud of you man! You learned how to drive on a new set up and correcting old habits and made top 64 basically with out third. You’re Jimmy fkn Oakes you’ll get ‘em next time. Make the 180 a missile with 750/800 hp and make Oakes a household name.
Genuinely up there in my top 3 Jimmy videos ever! Love this, the mindset, the determination, the highs and the lows of the sport. Jimmy your a credit to yourself. Echoing what others have said, I’ve never felt emotions towards a guy I’ve never met in person. I love this channel, it’s my go to on my good days and my bad. Seeing content like this from you, just back to basics, just jimmy his car and a camera is brill. It’s garage Red Z vibes. Really hope you get to read this and see your loved all over the globe my good man. ❤️ Love from the UK.
This is the side I’ve wanted to see on your channel. It’s been amazing watching you build over the years. I hope to see more drifting. I like watching you and Taylor Ray because y’all work and rip on your own machines. Keep going my man!
All the years of watching you and Adam together I love the friendship you guys have and the belief he has in you. I’ll say it myself. I am so proud of you jimmy and believe in you as well. I’m playing catch-up and running a jimmy o marathon. Keep killing it!
the dedication of working with what you had alone is enough to not feel bad about the outcome, started off without 3rd gear then moving into the clutch and finally leaking oil and still willing to run it in that condition nobody can take anything from you thats insane
Considering you went out to this event by yourself, you did amazing mate!!! Win or lose, it's all a learning experience and you've clearly learned alot! Can't wait to see what the future holds for your drifting adventures!
I'm just glad you got out there and put yourself through an uncomfortable situation and came out of it smiling. Mama Oakes would have had a blast at this comp.
I felt your pain bro. When he spun I got stared at in my office because it was quiet and then I said loudly, “all you gotta do is run clean lead and you’re in top 32 boyee!” And then I yelled the f-word. And hey, keep your head up, and quit the whole no confidence thing. There’s a reason you hear “just go have fun” often in any form of racing because it kills that shit. Fun beats the shit out of anxiety every time. You did great Jimmy!
I was yelling at my phone will excitement for you .. I absolutely love that you were the under dog in so many ways and you did so well.. I'm pumped keen to see you keep pushing your limits
Jimmy man your so humble and such a positive vibe and thats why people were there to help you.sucks about the car but just remember there's always next time.youve progessed so much and the real o.g.'s will always be here for it.(fellow ct boy)
Jim don't forget when in doubt throttle out. Works great for mud so just give it hell on track. Scariest part of drifting is yourself. Don't let you down yourself. Raise up look how far you come, just go out there and don't think clear your mind and realize you made yourself and no matter what only you can take that away and only you can remove that scared boy inside. Just push it till you get the butterfly effect. #letsgojimmyO
Well done man. Would love to see what happens when you build a dedicated drift car cause if it's anything like the other builds it will be nuts.. Ls, gsr, BMW... just putting that out there🤙
rarely ever comment but god damn dude, you killed it. Only so much you can do with the mechanical issues you were having. Hell of a time and video. Winning doesn't matter, its about the journey and enjoying what you are accomplishing and id say you freaking exceeded expectations. You running your lead run with no clutch and leaking oil made me literally geek, amazing video man!
Don't worry bud you did good, always good to put yourself in situations that'll help you grow. Reminds me of a good Robert California quote, "It's not a party if you don't do something that scares you"
Cheering for my boy I've never met before! Jimmy you got it bro, one little thing is gonna click one day and you're just gonna get it and then they better look out. Confidence is gonna Catapult you. Let's GO!!!!
the potential you have is crazy homie, don't beat yourself up too hard, this coming from a man who does it constantly and now doubts himself every step of his journey but I may be wrong but I feel like, if you take things as a fun experience and whatever "negative things" happen, you turn them into a positive no matter how hard they get. I'm mad proud of you jimmy but in a year or two from now, rewatch this video for this sake please, you're lucky to be able to document yourself doing the things you love. Keep it up homie and i'll def be reminding you in a year or so from now and can't wait to see how far your potential will be once fully unlocked
So proud of you totally sending out there! Also, thank you so much for the time you gave to me and my friends as well as our local drift community. You’re a super nice dude and I look up to you now more than ever!
I know this was a rollercoaster and frustrating at times but I like how you showed all the ups and downs of the weekend. As you know, it's not always going out and slaying with a cooperative car, but you kept your head up, held it together, and you still had fun with the homies. Now you've got some more lessons and ideas under your belt to come back harder in the future. Stoked to see how you continue to improve and grow from here. We're all rooting for ya!
I feel jimmy would do great at the level he's at with a more competitive car with the right setup and some more seat time. You should definitely build a comp car fo next time 👌💯
He does not need a comp car, it’ll only make his driving lazy. Piss of the CD box in the 13 put something more reliable in and drive more! He’s not going to get better by taking more time off to build another car.
Adam walking down the stairs with his shirt up killed me lol Awesome driving, Jimmy. I have full confidence in your ability to continue to get better, and more consistent.
So happy to see you out there brother! I race home every day to get my Jimmy Oakes fix. Keep getting amongst it mate, your doing it for all of us that cannot. :)
It's all a process man you have so much time building cars and much different chassis at that.. just need solid time behind the wheel so pumped to see you smashing in 3rd. Being pushed out of your comfort zone is always good for growth awesome to see
You gotta take it to the next level now jimmy full fledged drift car is needed. Stop putting yourself down you did amazing your progression is showing keep it up 👍
So proud! In the beginning before this event you said you were bullied into entering but I think your friends that are pros know your potential and how you sell yourself short! If car stuff didn't happen you would've gone the length of the competition and even so you probably learned a lot and hopefully you're more inclined to enter more comps like this! Love you Jimmy! ❤️👌
Hell ya Jimmy!!! Keep pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone! You’re killing it brother I could tell how excited and happy Adam was to see you out there doing your thing!
My Heart was beating so hard when He spun Out. I was so sad when u said that ur clutch is gone man. What a bummer:/ But im hyped! And I know you're too! Keep up the work my dude.
I’m proud of and I’ve never met you I’ve watched all your videos and you make me believe in my build & you made believe I can also compete no matter what the situation is in life! Stay up ! Man you did amazing!
I'm very excited for the build to come post Event. Your minds is in a different place and a different perspective of what needs to be done to be competitive, I know comps might not be your main goal but it would be awesome to see you hold your own in the next even. Maybe even clutch kickers.
Shout out to Jimmy tho. I prefer the build(s) content. LSZ got me going (day 1) but Glad you got to do this Mess around and find out is what most are scared of. If you get an invite, go and see where you stand out. I'm talking too much but you got me sliding my tank (11 Trvp Vic) more.
this took serious balls to upload, i can tell Jimbo always strives for perfection and gets pretty tilted if things dont work out. but i really appreciate the raw content and seeing the not so glamours side of drifting
Use this as a learning experience for sure! Car needs a good trans, more powa baby, and a new (even more aggressive) clutch. Then that thing will be golden for many many competitions!
Super proud of you Jimmy. You have an awesome mindset and I’m sure those mistake making jitters will go away with more competitive practice! Can’t wait to see where you take it man. Like you said, everyone’s rooting for you.
Great job jimmy. Huge improvements even if your car broke. It’ll come back stronger for the next comp that’s for sure. And you got to have a blast with the boys.
You have a dope style. Keep pushing. Same thing on adams ramp man, you’re commitment is key and you’re gonna fall regardless! It only hurts the soul when you don’t feel like you give it 100. I hope everyone keeps on that ass and gets you consistently competing
First video I watched of yours was "just another day at the garage" watching you come from then to now is like seeing a homie level up. Meeting you in person and still having a positive attitude despite having issues and willing to bs with a subscriber...having nothing but respect...BTW when you get 5xl shirts lmk.
This is content I wanna see more of! Seeing you build all your cars and having them sit is saddening but seeing the coupe out there swinging in comp is sick!
Even tho the coupe had issues I fully believe you would have had it, I’ve never gotten so anxious and excited watching somebody else drive on UA-cam. Keep it up dude you have a lot of potential just need to get yourself comfortable.🤘
Dude you killed it the car did bloody well it is what it is man good on you for giving it hell! That was one of the best driving videos of yours for sure. Keep at it for sure! You’ll go really far man!
We could hear the excitement in your voice man! This may just be the push you need to try and get more competitive. You’ve got the skill, just need to hone it in more. You got this homie
Great video. Keep your head up and working hard! I'm ignorant to drifting but it seems that doing the v8 swap is the way to go. Torque, ease of maintenance, consistency, cheaper parts if it's LS. I've seen one formula drift event 4 years ago and anyone who had a v8 was very consistent. That torque looks to help the transitions when chasing/getting close.
That was awesome!! You are there man!! Not a drifter, but as an audience, it just felt like you needed more wet practice. But you defo shredded in dry! Can’t wait for more! 🖤
As far as what you were saying in the last video needing a step up with the car, I think you just need consistency with whatever car you're ripping. No overheating, solid clutch, all the power, all the angle, etc etc. You're fighting inconsistencies and investing energy into making the car work as apposed to driving clean. Anywho. Whatever chassis it will be, make her solid and unquestionable that way your only focus is driving and knowing the car. Other than that, fucking killer job! So stoked you made it this far and still kicked ass.
This is actually amazing, youve become soo much better i was actually shocked how good you were when it came down to top 64 cant believe the clutch went man so sorry, but you have a good circle of friends around you dont give up youll only get even better Jimbo!
Ive never been more proud of a man Ive never met before, Ive seen you grow so much in this career and hobby. Its been an amazing ride so far and i cant wait to continue to see you improve. You have great friends and an even better mind set.
I feel that man. It's kind of odd having that mentality for someone I've never met. If there's anyone that deserves the recognition it's Jimmy. Dudes grown so much even since I first saw him on lz's 240 video.
100% this
Perfectly said!!
It's been a lot of fun watching Jimmy grow from momma oakes garage to where he is now. And the boys? Jimmy has a great choice in friends and always surrounded by a crew.
Get your tongue out of the guys starfish will you..
Gotta say bro, you're the only person around you that doesn't have full confidence in you. I think thats your weak spot. You need to believe in you bro. Know that you're the shit and gonna rock whatever you're doing
Ya man get out of your fuckin bag.lol
I think it’s his strength. Cause he’s so humble and down-to-earth that it’s mind blowing. Especially in current times when most people think they’re special.
@@ra5putin humble is good but don't let it become self doubt. We have to also respect our own skills and quality.
Car faults aside this was an epic video Jimmy was so stoked for you, we need more of this lol. Need to get that confidence up and be a bit more lucky with the mechanical problems lol.
You did your best man and still went back in the cage and swung for the fences. Respect!👍
Thank you for the opportunity to film for you this weekend! Glad I could make some B roll to make it in the video! 😤
Really nice footage man 👌
El Pepi THANK YOU! Check out some of my videos on my channel if you’re interested! 🤙🏼
you’d honestly make a great camera man, you should look into it
Super proud of you man! You learned how to drive on a new set up and correcting old habits and made top 64 basically with out third. You’re Jimmy fkn Oakes you’ll get ‘em next time. Make the 180 a missile with 750/800 hp and make Oakes a household name.
stoked for you homie, not the result you wanted but a learning experience. you did extremely well 👏
Do u tell ppl the end of a new movie they’re going to see lol
It's the Internet, if you're going to read the comments before you watch the video that's on you
Genuinely up there in my top 3 Jimmy videos ever!
Love this, the mindset, the determination, the highs and the lows of the sport. Jimmy your a credit to yourself. Echoing what others have said, I’ve never felt emotions towards a guy I’ve never met in person.

Ngl with what Jimmy displayed at this event it might be time for a comp car we all knew Jimmy could drift but this was on a different level.
I cried when the clutch went
Jim rippin!
I’m genuinely so proud of Jimmy crazy to see how this whole Freind group has turned into what it is today
All the years of watching you and Adam together I love the friendship you guys have and the belief he has in you. I’ll say it myself. I am so proud of you jimmy and believe in you as well. I’m playing catch-up and running a jimmy o marathon. Keep killing it!
I can seriously relate to the lead/follow thing. So much easier to just match the lead driver than to run the lead line haha. Glad you had fun!
the dedication of working with what you had alone is enough to not feel bad about the outcome, started off without 3rd gear then moving into the clutch and finally leaking oil and still willing to run it in that condition nobody can take anything from you thats insane
Sweet Intro, Steve would be proud. Think we would all love to see you build a dedicated Pro 1 car, stitch welded chassis, the works.
Jimmy, if you had the confidence everyone else has in you, you'd be unstoppable! So proud to have watched you grow SO much over the years! Keep it up!
Danke!
Considering you went out to this event by yourself, you did amazing mate!!! Win or lose, it's all a learning experience and you've clearly learned alot! Can't wait to see what the future holds for your drifting adventures!
I'm just glad you got out there and put yourself through an uncomfortable situation and came out of it smiling. Mama Oakes would have had a blast at this comp.
I wanted to go believe me💜

Nice job Jimmy!!! So glad you were able to make it out and compete with the big dogs. Looking forward to seeing you progress even more!

21:40 R34 4 door gets some love 😍
Well done man. Would love to see what happens when you build a dedicated drift car cause if it's anything like the other builds it will be nuts..
Ls, gsr, BMW... just putting that out there🤙
Well done jimbo! Seriously you have improved so much this season. Cars break but we fix. You gave it your best and that's what matters

I feel jimmy would do great at the level he's at with a more competitive car with the right setup and some more seat time. You should definitely build a comp car fo next time 👌💯
Disagree
@@Soysaucerc Jav is right, jimmy needs a great car not just a good one
The car is decent.. I just think he needs more time getting the car right. But I kno that's not his main focus sometimes
He does not need a comp car, it’ll only make his driving lazy. Piss of the CD box in the 13 put something more reliable in and drive more! He’s not going to get better by taking more time off to build another car.
Jimmy with more seat time and a competitive car would be a force
Who wouldn't be proud of you Jimmy your driving is amazing and you was having fun and always learning couldn't ask for anything else keep it up
Adam walking down the stairs with his shirt up killed me lol Awesome driving, Jimmy. I have full confidence in your ability to continue to get better, and more consistent.
Good work there Jim! I hope this will finally motivate you into building a 100% dedicated drift machine 😂
Absolutely love seeing you getting out there jim. Definitely helps me try to hit my goals for this year. Keep it going
So happy to see you out there brother! I race home every day to get my Jimmy Oakes fix.
Keep getting amongst it mate, your doing it for all of us that cannot. :)
So so proud of you brother. Now you know what you need out of the car and out of yourself. Time to get ready for the next one. Let's go JimmyO
still proud of ya jim, happy to see u getting out of your comfort zone to learn more happy to see the progress u are making!
YOU DONE BETTER THAN I THOUGHT JIMMY
KEEP IT UP BRO . WE ALL KNOW YOU GOT IT .
SUPER PROUD OF YOU MAN .
It's all a process man you have so much time building cars and much different chassis at that.. just need solid time behind the wheel so pumped to see you smashing in 3rd. Being pushed out of your comfort zone is always good for growth awesome to see
Your consistency and recovery is up there with the best, Jimmy. Steel those nerves and fix that car.
Awesome vid Jim. Was Awesome to see the boys rally around you when you were broke/down. Drift community strong 💪 🔥🔥🔥
Keep driving Jim. Love seeing you be pushed into driving more an more. Build an e36 an make it your comp car.
You gotta take it to the next level now jimmy full fledged drift car is needed. Stop putting yourself down you did amazing your progression is showing keep it up 👍
The comment section in jimmys videos are so wholesome and positive. Idk why his content is so slept on.
UK Patreon Gang 🇬🇧
Of course we ate proud of you Jimmy
Good luck, then bad luck, that's motorsport laws, happy to see you motivated
Get her fixed and get back out there dude. Nice work 🤙
It's great seeing you drive that car hard the amount you have done to it over the years more seat time and u will be smashing it
Jim, so sad to see its the car holding u back, a purposebuilt car is what u need 🤗 Take the next step!
Was a pleasure meeting you this weekend man! Car issues are tough. You’ll be back and better hope to see you back next year!!!
So proud! In the beginning before this event you said you were bullied into entering but I think your friends that are pros know your potential and how you sell yourself short! If car stuff didn't happen you would've gone the length of the competition and even so you probably learned a lot and hopefully you're more inclined to enter more comps like this! Love you Jimmy! ❤️👌
Great work by Austin.
Wow, so proud of you!
You can see the progression in this video alone! Keep it coming Jimmy, I'm sure you'll ace it!
Hell ya Jimmy!!! Keep pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone! You’re killing it brother I could tell how excited and happy Adam was to see you out there doing your thing!
Pretty safe to say that we’re all proud of you Jimmy! Always love watching you shred🤙💪
Happy and Proud of you Jimmy! Keep doing what you love and you can never go wrong!!
Regardless, this weekend was insane and seemed like you had a great time. Thank you for coming out and hanging with us. Can’t wait for the next one. 👌
As a car photographer I can confidently say that Jimmys cars are on my list to take pics of one day. All beautifully built.
My Heart was beating so hard when He spun Out. I was so sad when u said that ur clutch is gone man. What a bummer:/
But im hyped! And I know you're too! Keep up the work my dude.
I’m proud of and I’ve never met you I’ve watched all your videos and you make me believe in my build & you made believe I can also compete no matter what the situation is in life! Stay up ! Man you did amazing!
Dude you went out there with heart and that’s all that matters!!! We are here for it man!!!! Keep killin it!!!
I'm very excited for the build to come post Event. Your minds is in a different place and a different perspective of what needs to be done to be competitive, I know comps might not be your main goal but it would be awesome to see you hold your own in the next even. Maybe even clutch kickers.
Shout out to Jimmy tho.
I prefer the build(s) content.
LSZ got me going (day 1) but
Glad you got to do this
Mess around and find out is what most are scared of.
If you get an invite, go and see where you stand out.
I'm talking too much but you got me sliding my tank (11 Trvp Vic) more.
this took serious balls to upload, i can tell Jimbo always strives for perfection and gets pretty tilted if things dont work out. but i really appreciate the raw content and seeing the not so glamours side of drifting
Use this as a learning experience for sure! Car needs a good trans, more powa baby, and a new (even more aggressive) clutch. Then that thing will be golden for many many competitions!
That was awesome. Can't wait to see what comes next. Thanks for sharing.
This whole experience was a W overall
Super proud of you Jimmy. You have an awesome mindset and I’m sure those mistake making jitters will go away with more competitive practice! Can’t wait to see where you take it man. Like you said, everyone’s rooting for you.
Great job jimmy. Huge improvements even if your car broke. It’ll come back stronger for the next comp that’s for sure. And you got to have a blast with the boys.
You have a dope style. Keep pushing. Same thing on adams ramp man, you’re commitment is key and you’re gonna fall regardless! It only hurts the soul when you don’t feel like you give it 100. I hope everyone keeps on that ass and gets you consistently competing
Proud of you bro. Way to look at it as an overall experience and not letting it deter you. You will be back again bigger and better 👍

We could hear the excitement in your voice man! This may just be the push you need to try and get more competitive. You’ve got the skill, just need to hone it in more. You got this homie
Great video. Keep your head up and working hard!
I'm ignorant to drifting but it seems that doing the v8 swap is the way to go. Torque, ease of maintenance, consistency, cheaper parts if it's LS. I've seen one formula drift event 4 years ago and anyone who had a v8 was very consistent. That torque looks to help the transitions when chasing/getting close.
I'm proud of you. You did your business
That was awesome!! You are there man!! Not a drifter, but as an audience, it just felt like you needed more wet practice. But you defo shredded in dry! Can’t wait for more! 🖤
Jimmy you are on fire!! Bruva so proud of you! Once you build a full out build for this you will dominate!! Keep the content going inspiring to see!
Looks like that was a great intro into higher tier drifting with how fast challenges can come at you.
As far as what you were saying in the last video needing a step up with the car, I think you just need consistency with whatever car you're ripping. No overheating, solid clutch, all the power, all the angle, etc etc. You're fighting inconsistencies and investing energy into making the car work as apposed to driving clean. Anywho. Whatever chassis it will be, make her solid and unquestionable that way your only focus is driving and knowing the car. Other than that, fucking killer job! So stoked you made it this far and still kicked ass.
This is actually amazing, youve become soo much better i was actually shocked how good you were when it came down to top 64 cant believe the clutch went man so sorry, but you have a good circle of friends around you dont give up youll only get even better Jimbo!
Might be my favorite video of yours. Glad you're doing comp stuff and trying your best.
