#198 – Jimmy Yates: Knuckle Up Texas & Houston’s Drift Culture
Episode 198
Thursday, 9 April, 2026

Jimmy Yates joins us for Episode 3 of the Texas Series, recorded at his garage in Houston. We get into the full origin story—from getting arrested street racing in high school, to discovering drifting, to becoming one of the driving forces behind Houston’s stylized drift culture. Jimmy breaks down the early Final Bout days, the Essence Garage era, and how Knuckle Up was built to protect and elevate a certain standard of style in drifting. We also dive deep into car setups, aero philosophy, SR turbo debates, and why money can’t buy taste. This one is about culture, intention, and building something that lasts.@jyw0rld@knuckleup.txCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠⁠⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠⁠⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁠⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠⁠⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/LIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!
