Ep. 7: James Taal AKA Jackstand Jimmy | In the Aisles w/ Derek Bieri

You never know what-or who-you’ll run into In the Aisles. In this episode, Derek from Vice Grip Garage talks to “Jackstand Jimmy”-mechanic, builder, drag racer and burnout connoisseur James Taal. James talks about his first experience as a fourteen-year-old racing his dad’s ’64 Chevy Nova, his suggestions on how to get into racing if you’re not already, and how he would absolutely never drive a Prius-even if it were given to him-except to drive it straight into the ocean.

The fact that James called out McFlurrys time to the tenth before it was even built. Iirc his first full pass was 8.58 ?? These guys are both legends!!

[@robo1210]

Glad someone else noticed that too. But it’s not too surprising. He’s a driver and has a ton of experience.

[@danw1955]

This is probably the best 'talk show' an auto parts supplier could ever host! I've been following Derek and James both for several years now on their respective channels, and to see these two together talking shop has been the highlight of my day!! Great stuff you guys!😄👍

[@someyoungguy6990]

James and Garret act like they are brothers. They pick on each other, they inspire each other, they taunt and push each other to do better, they make stuff up's together and then learn to fix it together and they have each other's back. I just hope life is kind to them both and the get to be Bro's forever!

[@muzz3564]

[@motorheadmania4652]

We need another one of these. James is awesome.

[@aussieinohio769]

James had to have been the easiest guy to talk to from all your interviews. The conversation kept flowing with no pauses.

[@ritchschut1997]

Got to remember, of all the guests, Derek has spent the most time around James. So they know each other reasonably well.

[@jeffreyharbert3439]

Agreed. It didnt come off as too awkward. So happy Derek is in Cleeter and crews world. And now the Fab Rats and VGG!😃😃
