I met tj yesterday morning and I was so nervous to ask him for a picture and he was so damn cool and took the time to talk to me a lil bit and told him my favorite car was his bayside blue gtr and he had a smile on his face the whole time! Thank you so much tj you taking that few minutes absolutely made my whole week🤝🏼

[@adamsecord9943]

Amen to that! Glad he gave you an amazing experience:)

[@beastpanda129]

I gotta say I agree I met him about 2 years ago and he is a super great genuine person. Was able to talk to him for almost and hour, one of the best experiences I have ever had.

[@Genesis_twitch_]

Lucky dude, I wanna meet him one day too, I always say he gives me the type of vibe like if one of the boys became famous but still always himself 🤘🏽

[@tdhharmon]

@@Genesis_twitch_ I got the exact same vibe

[@benmadary5520]

Here for rush racing! Let’s see it!

[@dialedindetail5899]

Much prefer watching wheel to wheel racing rather than drifting but will watch whatever you choose to do

[@wishtheyunderstoodme]

meh

[@allanguillen4382]

@@wishtheyunderstoodmeshut up u cornball. This is like your fifth comment

[@IceyDrewF1]

Same

[@BTACE1347]

Racing > Drifting. God i hope this is the new meta for car youtubers lol

[@wishtheyunderstoodme]

what?

[@00-Avante]

Bro same😂😂

[@grantr6317]

Racing is better, just choose a better series or have TJ build a sick car for whatever series he wants to do, these cars look so stupid lol

[@IceyDrewF1]

So true, much more entertaining.

[@solodawise7264]

I also prefer racing over drifting

[@TeamRapscallion]

Thanks for the shoutout, TJ! All the Rapscallions loved having you with us at Laguna and we can’t wait to see you on the track again next year!

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Damn, more rush racing content. That shit is sweet

[@samkrushka]

I agreee, I loved it!

[@ugewang]

It makes me so happy to FINALLY hear you pronounce Laguna Seca, not Laguna Seeecka.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always TJ and Crew.

[@rwdsociety2654]

Want practice with other drivers on track do some karting. And bring friends that are fast so you can get faster and better with dealing with traffic

[@KartGuy76]

The purest form of motorsport 👍🏼. Couldn’t agree with you more.

[@annjacobs7764]

This video is so good! I can't stop watching!

[@Tintec-f3m]

Its about fucking time one of you got into racing..your gaining mad respect from me...much love

[@rejscott8626]

His shit at it though 😂

[@TorraTech]

@@rejscott8626 look at when he started drifting, he wasnt great either. Seat time experience will build his confidence. Im sure Teej will become a phenomenal grid racer, especially with his now background in weight transfer/counter steering on a track from drifting, it'll help

[@johnlopez2010]

LAguna tj god damit, no more LAYGOONA

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Excited for the future rush content! Had me on the edge of my seat watching you narrate the race. That was awesome! We need more grip racing content!

[@kavs911]

I was at Gridlife on Saturday and chatted with TJ and the Hunt & Co team, they were all so nice and took me through the whole car and race setup. It was a great day and a fun event! Back next year for sure!

[@cingkole7893]

17:00 buy a crashed 911 Turbo S and make a time attack car!

[@rpotter8876]

Teej, the best thing you can do for yourself to learn racecraft is get into karting. Asphalt roadcourse in specific. I can give you a full rundown if you’re interested

[@KartGuy76]

You’re 100% on the money there bud. My mates and I all still mess around in the odd karting event, despite having “upgraded” to main circuit racing many years ago.

[@Logan.Senhauser]

Stoked to see the trend of KZbinrs getting into wheel to wheel, more please🙌

[@albs1201]

The feeling teeg is expressing about racing is exactly what I felt driving motocross - it was the best thing, ever ! Got sick, can’t drive anymore - but still have the memories 👌🏼!

[@adamstarr2529]

“Lay-goon-ah Say-cuh”

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Incredible narration. That looked crazy!

[@Kfueston]

Been waiting for Tj to do some grip racing can’t wait for what this brings.

[@JoshGRacing]

These are the only racing videos I enjoy watching. Love the constant commentary! :)

[@nate.mz3]

i got to see this happen live, also got to meet you before the first rush race in the morning and you signed my 34 poster lol. glad to hear your good i was worried. it was amazing to be able to meet you 🙏

[@tonybosworth5382]

TJ CROSSES TO THE DARK SIDE😂❤! Glad to see you do some wheel to wheel racing!

[@Boostedlifestyle]

I agree wheel to wheel racing is amazing

[@dustinjones1907]

Really nice final move teej, it takes balls to late break from that far back. A good way to overtake when you're faster without going for inside gaps that are gonna disappear (like when you crashed), go wide on the entry and you'll be able to get on the throttle earlier and slingshot past on the straight.

[@340.YodaTv]

BRO THIS VIDEO IS CINEMA PLZZZZZ DO MORE OF THESE TYPE OF RACES WE WANNA SEE A NOOB TURN TO A PRO RACER TEEJ LMAOOO LOVE YOU BUDDY

[@Wanabevo]

It was great to have you out!

[@ceazy1861]

Bro dive bombed the hell out of that turn

[@XxVIRTUTEMxX]

Probably one of my favorite videos in a while

[@anthonydeleone8392]

Love it Tj. The love you have for all types Of motor sports is just astounding

[@claytondouglasmusic]

I love any and all racing content, it’s all super dope to see!

[@Supra_Mickey]

Racing Teej not bumper cars 😂😂😂

[@mrmonday42]

Sick content, loved it. I can't wait to see you continue down this path

[@javidgt8]

Teej please make a series on your Rush racing and any other grip racing you get into. I thoroughly enjoyed that voice over section of you just doing laps. Would definitely be into watch longer versions of that. Congrats on getting into this type of racing. I can only imagine how fun it is.

[@JamieHarris1983]

TJ, the best advice i can give you as superbike racer in the UK...... Wear ear plugs, Honestly they take away all the ''screaming'' you get from the engine and the wind and just puts you in a totally calm and peaceful environment so you can think better, think further in advance and think clearer. Atta go boy!

[@bf3allday]

Take a shot every time tj says "lay goon na". Haha

[@TurboShotIncredible]

Glad to see you've been bit by the track racing bug. It's addictive. Eye opening. Another good avenue you can take for more wheel to wheel experience on track with a lot of other fast drivers is competitive karting.

[@Max23653]

im still on board going full track car on the purple RS and dailying the red gt3

[@joegetz6661]

That was my boy Ryan Kircher you punted in race 3. He’s on the sim racing team I run. He posted the video on our Discord right after the race and I was like DANGIT TJ! 😂 🤦‍♂️

[@144.natehamilton]

We said the same lol hahha

[@WomanCooled]

You should get into karting as well! Gives you the fix of racing but not heavy on the wallet as much as a spec Boxster, Miata, etc. Shifter karts can get up to 70 MPH and it's insane to see and drive them.

[@matthewcarr2242]

As a circuit racing driver myself, its cool to see you enjoying it so much!

[@jeffhoffman3429]

Stick with the things you love to maintain happiness ❤❤❤

[@Snakes709]

Love that track. Trailered my motorbikes down from Alberta this summer to do a track day at Laguna Seca. The hill in the straight is so sketchy on a bike, i love it. Cant wait to go back.

[@kanenstuff]

Laguna Seca and Tskuba are my dream tracks to race, congrats looks like a lot of fun.

[@4200timeB]

TJ , "Racings the best thing ive ever done in a car".. Sabrina..".hold my beer"

[@clifbradley]

TJ thought he was Senna. Then found out he's 'Sennain't'. Lol love ya Teeeeeeej

[@AlexStricklin]

Tj, I’m an avid NASCAR fan and have attended multiple races. Do yourself a favor and attend a NASCAR race, it’s one of my favorite forms of Motorsport. I know that the 24 Valvoline team at Hendrick Motorsport would be happy to host you.

[@BjornPNW]

It’s about time to see TJ in some wheel to wheel action!!! Time to get out there with Dustin!

[@IDv8I]

You got the bug, and I can't say I didn't see that coming. Enjoy and be safe out there, "Sena", I am looking forward to watching your progress.

[@ShaneBell-rt1lf]

This is great! What an awesome opportunity.

[@StingrayOfficial]

Anyone else get Steevo vibes from the storytelling? Not a bad thing, he is a great storyteller.

[@davidpeck596]

I own a 2019 GT3RS and a Rush chassis #181. I love driving the RS, but the Rush is a whole nother thing. I'm still a couple of seconds faster at my local track (The Podium Club) in the RS, but the rush is so much more raw and fun. I also have a 2009 Cayman S that is a fully built race car, my wife races it. I'm loving your videos, keep them coming.

[@davidpeck596]

Racing is hard, I've raced in 10 or so events, and about 30 races started. finished 25 or so. I'm a hard charging mid packer, and I love every minute.

[@rictorkooldude10]

Dude circuit racing is the move! Wayyyyy more thrilling than drifting. See you on the sim ;)

[@Daniel-Drifteiro-Uber-Brasil]

This was pretty cool. Let's Go with more.

[@Jbpgarage]

Sick 🫡, great to see you loving track racing. People don’t realize how mental it is, such an adrenaline rush. Hopefully I make it out to Laguna Seca next year.

[@Loganlondo]

Long time sub of the channel, have recently gotten very interested in racing as well (to the point where I got a house right next to my local grass roots track in MI). So cool to see the channel grow along with my interests!

[@patrickmitchell3536]

Such a blast to ride in the 350 loved meeting you teej

[@JosephJonesboy88]

You’re so damn talented and it’s amazing seeing you reach beyond the wildest dream of that kid who started a KZbin channel modding his first car in the garage ❤

[@cb3070]

Hell yeah tj, time to get on that iracing grind 😂

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

TJ Hunt Awesome Video I'm glad you had a great time at the Gridlife Rush series and I'm sorry to hear that you crashed and I'm glad to know that everyone is ok

[@JayOnzs03]

I want to see more and more and more of this! Let's hit the track!

[@nathanmott2288]

Love the race content! Let’s see some sim practice videos too.

[@banana122049]

Pulled a pro gamer move at that last turn😂😂

[@MsToma84]

C ya on iracing guys! I cant be the only one that now feel the urge to rip around in something small and fast :D

[@jonathankellykelly16]

Yesssss, more racing content please

[@tylermoore9549]

I met Grant at LS Fest east this month! Love you guys!

[@waquishaholmes362]

Even with all the stress you were cool to me this gridlife hope to race alongside you someday!

[@This.dad.]

Damn it I’m jealous of your weekend. Sounds exhausting for sure. Good stuff man! Keep it up! By the way, you fixed the SECA but it’s not “LAY-GOONA” it’s “LA-GOONA” 🙃 keyboard warrior here haha had to find something you did wrong because I’m jealous of your life 😝 just kidding. Love it man and I’ve followed since the Carmel mountain road driving and parking garage days 👊🏼👊🏼 used to live there and that’s probably why I continued following was to see that chevron I used to go to by my apartment

[@XxSNEAKYBEAVERxX]

A new mattress every 2 years is crazy

[@capturehorizon1]

Excited for the racing content

[@parks_media_]

Looking forward to seeing you and gridlife at road america next year!

[@jeremyjones2191]

Cleetus would've been in the top 3 first time out...that guy is good at driving just about anything

[@randymackintosh6559]

Gotta be very aware of the flags...they are very important. Your GT3 RS would be VERY quick on that track if a few track tweeks...don't think different. Getting into road racing is like Crack Cocaine...trust me...been doing for a looooong time. Have fun!!!

[@rjwlax]

I just got my windows tinted is a shared space with grid life. What a surprise! I drive past that place for over a decade now and didn't event know it was there.

[@beniz43]

solid divebomb 7:25

[@jasonharris3873]

That was good last race. Such a fun track.

[@InfinityGamePlayz]

You should try taking a sport bike on a track TJ!!! I know you’ll love it

[@donaldoorozco6258]

THIS LOOKS SOOOOO FUN INWOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS OUT

[@BasicPremium]

Rally Racing > tarmac racing > hill climb/time attack > drifting

[@hermannarminius7746]

Glad TJ is finally doing some real racing. Drifting is just for you and your buddies. That first crash was such a nasty divebomb, and not in a good way

[@Saint_Vincent1735]

I’ve wanted you to buy a radical sr1 for a couple of years now. I’m glad you’ve experienced this kind of racing.

[@speckiller]

Saw your uv gt3rs in person at Laguna seca before it was at your booth .The wheels look so good in person I honestly didn’t really like them before

[@EricSchutt]

Good stuff, look forward to more of it. FYI, catching someone and passing them are two different things. Also, seeing red while driving usually doesn’t end well.

[@SICKIX]

You should try and get in one of Cleetus' crown vic races.. Would do you good with racing in traffic. Plus they are fun as hell.

[@branonguiles]

I usually can’t engage in racing vids but this was a hella fun watch

[@mikesacona8450]

Keep moving forward!!! East coast love for our west coast brother. Much love choch. Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nvnii]

Idk why Teej but i honestly believe you’ll take 1st some time soon, you’re such an amazing driver 🤙🏼 the glaze is real rn 🤣

[@SirWilliamsHand]

Great pacing on this video.

[@JK-tu1xx]

shoutout teegus, Rush SR is the coolest spec racing out there. Look into the NASA Rush competitions and how they race on track with other spec cars, it will help you learn passing lines and braking zones (some cars will out-brake rush cars).

[@johnulmerRacing]

Only other sport racers, like the Radical.and Wolf. The fastest of ST2 can at times, but that's because the Rush is forced to run on Nankangs. They should move it to ST3, or unlock its tire options.

[@IIXxDead_BrainxXII]

I was at the corkscrew on Saturday and the whole team did pretty good.

[@PhilomenaMerritt-e5e]

So chill, great atmosphere here!

[@Boosted_RPM]

Great video TJ, if you enjoyed this I highly recommend you try dirt racing. I know there are a few dirt tracks around California. I’ve been doing 2 years now starting in the cheap 4 cylinder fwd we call compacts, taking top 5 in points this year. I just finished my first year in the 80’s Monte Carlo class they call street stocks taking rookie of the year and top 10 in points. And I drove a legend which uses a Yamaha street bike engine and went from 14th to 7th my first time ever in one. If you’d want to come to Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana next summer I’d let you drive my compact. We run 24 cars deep almost every night on the fastest high bank 3/8 dirt track in the northwest. I think it would give you a smoother transition to pack racing

[@H3nk388]

Evo time attack incoming baby!!!
