Host Benson Hsu was one of the pioneers of drifting in the USA in the late 90s and early 2000s, known by the website about his car, SileightyMania.com.
Benson Hsu came up with the idea to start a podcast during the pandemic in 2019. He observed that the pre-smartphone era of drifting and import racing was largely undocumented and that its history was preserved by word of mouth or by the memories of those who lived through it.
His wife Nadine Hsu and good friends Marc Mondoy and Steven Nakamura, who all drifted in the early 2000s, came together to form the team behind The SileightyMania Podcast. Their goal is to record the stories directly from the mouths of the OGs and pioneers. Their hope is that all of the first-hand accounts from the interviews could form a patchwork quilt of experiences representing drifting and import racing history.
Some of our listeners enjoy reliving fond memories of their past. Others enjoy learning about the people that came before them who helped shape the culture that they are so passionate about today. Either way, the team hopes to not only to give back to the culture that gave them so much joy, but to entertain you as well.
