I have seen this guy drift at Ultrace this year, and I have to say, he is incredible! His control over the car and his near misses were amazing to see! He's got a lot of talent

[@spacemoai]

The white x blue x orange livery is just SO clean

[@Ultra-161]

Tide type clean

[@sparky6086]

We had a 1971 & a 1972 Datsun 1200 fastback in the 1970's & '80's. I think, that the original 1200cc engine produced 69 horsepower. They were fun cars.

[@charl_k]

Those little 1200 GX coupés had an almost cult-like following in ZA. I always wanted one as a kid in the 80s and even then they were so rare. I had a 1400 Champ (the pick up version) and with slight mods it was tons of fun and dangerous in the wet. Very talented young man,

[@karespratt5131]

As a sort of young person, it’s always funny to see car guys around Larry’s age be surprised that young car guys are into old cars lol

[@toxicmasculinity7870]

Sometimes I actually forget that Larry is an older guy, cause he just seems so much younger than he actually is lol.

[@UncleManuel]

That kid is going places! Not only can he drift like a pro but also in a light small car which is way more snappier. I'm totally blown away right now! 😲😎👍

[@GeneFever]

Archie is mature way beyond his age, great story and a beauty old Datsun looking sweet going sideways.

[@Carbonarars]

He is so young. He doesn’t know, that in the 70s and 80s there was no mapping, only Webers 😀😀😀😀👍

[@gato69evo]

I was thinking about the same 🤣🤣🤣

[@nfspeedy2]

What a nice and skilled young man! Thumbs up!

[@decibellone696]

One of these was my 1st car. Was a blast for me to drive as a kid... Cool to see there still around.

[@Eomak]

Cool video..smart kid..awesome to see kid with a passion for cars! Thanks.

[@garlenseong38]

Crazy clean car.. especially he doesnt even have his license and he is drafting... that awesome!!

[@georgedreisch2662]

Way kewl car, and a even more so story of his. This is the type of thing that is more of needed, to inspire more of the yung uns…

[@daylinriffel125]

I prefer the 1200 coupe over the 510 overall here in South Africa these chassis is very popular in the drag racing scene with all sorts of engine swaps under the hood

[@kentbeitel9966]

That thing looks like a handful. That short wheel base makes it look so snappy. Good for him, he made a sick car.

[@user-mk5er1ks1w]

Thats one cool dathsun drift very well to great build👌

[@shaneWARs1]

Wow so cool to see kids got a great attitude and seems to appreciate where he is

[@jesusantonio2200]

Thank you for this beautiful car

[@johncunningham4820]

Now THAT is Brutal little Datto .

[@Uathankicks]

Saw Larry in the flesh at FD Utah at the top 16 opening ceremony. Hope to see you again and be able to introduce myself!

[@neukin]

The active trunk is so cool haha genius

[@XenFPV]

I _love_ the little old Datsuns.

[@davidyarbrough2197]

He held on good with James Dean. Keep growing in the sport young man!!!

[@nismox6460]

Fantastic story 🎉🎉🎉

[@JB-sv5pr]

I remember watching this live and thinking man that kids could drive🎉 lmao dude was killing it So funny to hear him say it’s a tin can of car then act like 86z and 240z aren’t the same shit This young man and his dad sound like a dream team ! His homies at school must trip out 😊

[@Elmo6855]

So cool!

[@Skiridr22]

What an amazing car

[@maughan6957]

Damn that get too close sometimes lol. Beautiful built car young man

[@ichanch]

[@dairatekozou]

クッソかっけー！サニーは軽量ボディーだからSR20DET積んだらモンスターになっちゃうねｗ

[@benscootin4329]

[@yunglifty3523]

[@Wazootdrifts]

The Slow Motion Travel V.2. It's a royalty free track you can find on some sites like Pond5.

[@MURATAYA2008]

the next ken gushi

[@motogeee510]

Did good .

[@zu_1455]

Anyone else old af remember when Ken Gushi was the prodigal young drifter? Back in like 07, 08?

[@CUSSLIKEASAILOR]

☝🏾❤️🤙🏾

[@amoghmadiwale2397]

Feeling like the 16 year old guy is Next Takumi, just a bit more talkative.

[@subarusam34]

Archie is a great driver remember the name Archie Harmer

[@PokèMyBalls]

It seems like he forgot to add power steering haha.

[@pauligunz5686]

I wouldn't want to crash that car!!!!!

[@zyldjianreyes5442]

Without power Steering? that kid can drift any car.

[@archygrey9093]

Don't need it for a car that small and light, I was 12 when I raced an old Datsun sunny and I don't remember the steering being hard even then

[@afdalborhan.c7683]

however, skills and experience in a hobby/interest do not require a friend's license😂😂

[@SamThredder]

this kid is raaaad

[@georgecupac1202]

Yeah, and 😐?

[@BinManZooCan]

lOvely

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Le sleppeur peut tout faire drift départ arrêter pourquoi léger bon châssis bon moteur simple efficace couteaux suisse de l auto le slippeur ❤ 😂

[@Ozjoker420.]

Why is his age a big deal? Lots of young teens 13 years old are doing it. Maybe he comes from a drifting family and was introduced to it at an early age.. do some research and you'll see it's not a rare thing 😆🙄

[@archygrey9093]

Younger kids than him racing isn't a big deal, but drifting at that level is pretty impressive especially with a little car like that, things twisting all over the place

[@sepg5084]

Why does it matter that the driver is a teenager?

[@dylanhaili5646]

Right in every other Motorsport kids start much young then him

[@bencheesecake8795]

why does drifting have so camber? A fast track setup wouldn't have anyway near that amount.

[@sil80irl98]

I can't explain it properly but they run more camber on the front so that there is more tyre making contact with the tarmac on full lock, someone please correct me if I'm wrong

[@Iain240]

A big part of it is just that the lower control arm has to be extended a lot to allow for the huge steering angles necessary, and the rules of most series say the top mount can't be moved so that produces a lot of camber. Also as another has already been said when on lock the castor angle will give the leading wheel positive camber, so the negative camber cancels that and leads to the leading wheel being flat on the ground.

[@komamix]

Dang that kod is good. Car is even gooder.

[@boerplaas388]

What a dumb sport . Burn up tires . Mmmmmm very bright 😂
