Abrin Schmucker
Episode 304 - Jackie Ding is now a perrenial runner of the #GRIDLIFE Trackbattle series. While he started out as a kid that almost no one had heard of in stock-ish Honda S2000, some early wins in the 2017 put him on everyone’s radar. Since then, he has developed as a driver and personality, documenting all of his build progress and track escapades on his Youtube channel. Deep into this “TA90” Toyota Supra already, he and his PhD Racing team are rapidly becoming the experts in setup for this new chassis.

Abrin Schmucker
Episode 300 - Alex Moss has gone off the deep end with his S2000. “SuperK” started as a simple build, and quickly spiraled into an engine-swapped, turbocharged, big aero, track monster. Competing in #GRIDLIFE TrackBattle Time Attack and One Lap of America, he’s a perennial podium contender in both. Few builds with this much pure track performance are also capable of being driven for 4000 road miles. This is definitely one of my favorite cars in the field each year. Listen to Alex tell me how it all came together.
