Benson Hsu fell in love with drifting via Option Video in ’96. He bought his S13 in ’99 and turned it into a Sileighty with an SR20DET swap in 2000. His website SileightyMania.com spread knowledge about Japanese drifting culture in English and helped to establish an online community enthusiasts who shared the same passion. Benson met other influential people on his journey to become better at drifting. He was involved with early American grassroots events and competitions and eventually Formula Drift and D1 Grand Prix. Benson only drifted professionally for 1 year, but he never forgot the special moments he witnessed as one of the original drifters in the USA, nor the people who helped pave the way for future generations of drifters. Drifting and S13s allowed Benson to meet all of his closest friends such as audio/video engineer Marc Mondoy, graphic designer Steven Nakamura, but most importantly his wife and co-host Nadine. His desire to record the podcast comes from his want to give back to drifting a small fragment of what it has given to him.
