Jamison Pangilinan of Drift Team Animal Style | Goodest Cast EP.94 Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Jamo is Drift Team Animal Style’s newest member, his driving style, car style, and presence made that an easy choice. For someone so young to not only be driving but building cars at the level he is there is no excuse other than dedication. We talk about the struggles of trusting the wrong head gasket and SR20DET issues that no one wants to have. Jamo is just getting started but it was great to sit down and hear his story so far. We couldn’t be more excited to see where his story goes.

Jack Drewett of Hit and Run Drift Club Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

Jack is another example of the uniquely great people you meet through drifting. He and his team mates from Hit and Run Drift Club really made drifting fun. They created iconic videos with the help of Scott Mitchell that made waves in the drift world. Their stuff really inspired me when I was getting into drifting. It was all just friends having fun and building cool cars to go shred with, rowdy trips to Japan that looked like a dream. It was something to aspire to. They still run their event called Glory Days in Australia, and Jack has been branching out and exploring drifting in a very different way in some unexpected places.

Jimmy Oakes of Front Street Drift Team & Oakes Garage | Goodest Cast EP.91 May 19, 2026

Show notes

Jimmy Oakes is a Connecticut based car builder, BMXer, and driver. He also hosts a Youtube channel covering all his car builds and trips driving all over the world. Jimmy is also a part of Front Street Drift Team, which is one of the premiere drift teams in the US known for their clean S Chassis builds and aggressive driving style. Over my time getting to know Jimmy it is obvious this man lives and breathes drifting. The level of his chase driving skill shows that and is proof BMX kids pick up drifting quickly.

West Coast Drifting OG Tommy Roberts | Goodest Cast EP.89 Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Tommy Roberts is a West Coast Drifting Icon. You have undoubtedly seen one of his signature gold S13’s over the years. His drifting style mixed with car style has caught the attention of some of your favorite car builders and drivers over the years. Tommy is a humble guy who after all these years is still finding ways to give back to drifting. He is a Hot Pit Judge, he works at Part Shop Max, and is still building extremely well done cars. We talk about his influences, his goals within drifting, and the early days of running around with Matt Powers. He was able to compete in China in the early days and has had some crazy experiences. Drifting is a lucky to have Tommy Roberts around, and we should all strive to give back to the thing that’s given us so much.

Animal Style Origins with Ryan Kado & Julian Jacobs | Goodest Cast EP. 87 Oct 16, 2025

Show notes

Julian Jacobs and Ryan Kado have been pushing themselves within the sport and the sport itself for well over two decades. It’s always been for the love of driving hard, building cars that push the limits of cool, and doing it all with a smile. Sitting down and recapping all the insane experiences they have had all because of their love for drifting is nothing but humbling. These two have always been about driving hard, putting on a show, and sharing the energy they love about drifting with as many people as they can. That’s what Super D is all about. With Animal Style now reaching fifteen years, they are still finding ways to keep pushing the teams driving and impact on the sport. I am lucky to call these two friends and to have shared some of the incredible ride with them.

Street Racing, S2000s, and Self Discovery with Sara Choi | Goodest Cast EP. 85 Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

Sara Choi joins The Goodest Cast for one of our most unfiltered episodes yet. From sneaking out to street races in Hawaii to hosting underground car meets in Japan, Sara’s story is a raw and adrenaline-packed ride through car culture, identity, and healing.

We talk about:

– Street racing and growing up in Hawaii

– How cars became her escape from home as a teenager

– Hondas, drifting, and late nights on the Kanjo

– Her journey through Japan’s car scene and finding drifting

– Mental health, psychedelics (“vegetables”), and ending generational trauma

– Gumball 3000, international competition, and balancing it all

This episode isn’t just about cars. It’s about survival, transformation, and how the right kind of chaos can change your life for the better.
