Man Vin’s videos are so entertaining. Everyone’s always complaining about something and Vin is over here just showing people how to enjoy life with some good people.
This is pretty cool to me because I want to race something eventually. That dream may never come true, but vids like these def keep the dream alive lol
Seeing vin go from popping e36 wheels off drifting in a parking lot to racing real race cars at Road America is awesome to see. Keep up the progress Vin!!!
Feedback for drivers Era- one thing that made hoonigan so good was the product was actually good. the apparel very high quality. They were big boy friendly, and the shirts for the most part dont shrink into a crop top. If you're a ballast boy, this matters a lot. theres nothing worse then getting a tee you like, and after a few washes you cant move your shoulders or your gut peeks out.
Hell yeah thanks for the note. We've been through a few blanks already, and it's taking a little longer than expected - because we want to make sure the quality of the tees is on point!
This is key, some of my old Hoonigan stuff still fits great even though they're a size smaller than I usually wear these days. Whatever they did back then worked great for ballast boys.
@@brian_scotto Man, you have no idea how much I appreciate you maintaining this ethos in the brand. As a ballast boy, there rarely was a cool alt brand that made things in my size growing up, Hurley stops at like, 38 waist and tight 2xls for example. so, when i finally bit the bullet ands spent nearly 50 bux ($30 +shipping) and ordered my first KB livery hoonigan shirt I finally felt like i found my "niche". I had a cool brand that I liked the message of, that made things that were quality, and fit well for the life of the garment. Now, theres probably 30 various hoonigan garments and numerous hoonigan trinkets in my closet and familys closets. I sincerely hope new mgmt figures out how to turn things around, because its not the same, the message is hollow, and frankly I dont think I have acquired any new products since the core team exit, I fear their quality will decline in the same fashion that the brand has, and it already seems evident with the lack of 3xl on some of the new releases. Even the new steering wheels devoid of a manufacturer partnership like OMP or MOMO question their quality and value to dollar ratio. Sorry, this probably isnt the feedback you want to hear about a brands future you put so much of your life into to do right.
@@RonzarOne Will you do more than t-shirts eventually? Like jackets and stuff? (The hoonigan store had some nice shit but I don't wanna buy hoonigan clothes anymore, when all my favourite people left. Also I don't identify with the brand anymore)
I think the opportunity has came & went. Hell, I subbed to vin & stopped watching the videos. did the same with Zak... & it seems others did the same, their videos are on a slow decline in views, they barely break 100k views now.
Love this type of material from a 'car youtuber'. Bring's a whole new level of respect to the racing community and how difficult the sport is even for someone like Vin with his massive experience around cars.
lol, vin's mom's vibe really puts things into perspective EDIT: I know the ladies driver's wanted series was never that popular for Hoonigan, but gd it did get some awesome women drivers some much needed exposure, and 8 years later we're still seeing it pay off. What Scott and Ken did for grassroots motorsports can't be taken lightly
Touring car racing is by far my favourite. Close contact, relatable, just more interesting and exciting all around. Stoked to see you guys get involved! Honourable mention to BTCC
Vin and Ron have always been my favorites from the crew, I couldn't stop smiling watching this vid, so happy for them. Hopefully next year I can see them when the series returns to COTA.
I worked at the company or lets say garage, wasn't that big of a place, that built the renault megane tcr. I can confirm those tc cars are hella fun and im very glad you get to race them.
Bro it's so cool to watch how far you've come with the channel and with yourself! You're killin it and so much fun to watch doing what you love! Best video yet!!
Dude, I have watched the GT World Challenge in GT3 for the last 7-8 years even going as far as Barcelona to watch. Awesome to see you out at a GT America support race slaying it. I can only assume how nervous that must have been. Some day I will get out ON track like this.
Damn dude!!! Loving the dream. I've been a huge Hyundai guy for like 20yrs. Watched the 2002 wrc seasons with the accent and the Tiburon "attempt" to race. Glad to see Hyundai coming back to life over the last couple of years.
Was good fun seeing this happen live. I dunno if we're allowed to share other channels but if anyone wants to see the full event it is available on RUclips legally along with a stack of other amazing racing.
Never worry about the last corner. Keep looking far ahead to the upcoming corner. Move your eyes to upcoming corner ASAP. Excited to watch this journey !! Nothing but positive vibes !!
I assume you need a race license for that series, but I don't remember you ever talking about having one? Congrats dude, that looked like a blast, and you did a great job getting that across in the video. I would like to see more.
We are racing a series with 130hp lowered car with big brakes and slicks. Even with that car it is awesome. The adrenaline hits you differently when there are other cars on the track. Good content, Vin 😊
Glad it's something different to drifting. It couldn't happen to a more deserving person then you and Ron. Plus you made it enjoyable to watch every minute!
So glad you trusted yourself and started your own channel! Very entertaining! Always looking forward to watch your latest videos! Keep pushing Bubba! Congrats on your race!
So much L❤ve for this!! Really enjoyed this video. It's great to see you and Ron vibing together again and what an experience you had! Frickin Awesome!!!
I watched both races and commented on TC America's X feed that it was an impressive debut, I had not put the two together that this was you racing, brilliant job to [mostly] keep it on the tarmac 🏁
Happy birthday. Another pinnacle present. My wife and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary. Can't believe it. Be blessed and have fun. Keep inspiring people to enjoy life
THANK YOU!!!!The former Hoonigan brand is DEAD! All they do is THIS vs THAT and they failed to keep the brand going like you,Hert and Zach. PLEASE DON'T STOP!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats man!! Your patience and level headedness paid off on the track, and you were absolutely having the time of your life. I need to take some inspiration for my track videos. Great work Vin!!
Your mom’s comment at the beginning was golden. Nice work making up some ground, and Team Hard Charger has a bit of a ring to it. Looking forward to future progress! Will your next upload have something to do with that bumper for the Modena? 😊
I got up this morning, and instead of heading to my office first thing (I own a business, so I can be tardy at times), I sat down to watch the newest Vin vid. Just like every other Thursday, I was not let down. Hell yeah, brother, what a race!
@vin_tra how do I become a channel member to show some support? I know of other channels where I can pay monthly and get a cool thingy next to me name when I comment. I'd love to help support you, even if it's like $5 a month or something.
Man Vin’s videos are so entertaining. Everyone’s always complaining about something and Vin is over here just showing people how to enjoy life with some good people.
His attitude makes the channel, the cars are a bonus.
That's totally what it is! He's just excited to be telling us about car stuff.
Dudes so genuine and humble, it’s fun to cheer for this guy!
This is pretty cool to me because I want to race something eventually. That dream may never come true, but vids like these def keep the dream alive lol
"It's just driving, how hard could it be"
Nooo, the disrespect 😭😂
Mom shit hahaha
A classic Top Gear quote too, hahaha
@@vin_trabro you need to do a "How hard can it be" video with Mom. Send her out on a track and start with "How hard can it be, it's just driving".
5:44 dude drives the rig of his own racing team what a g
Everything costs money bro... Its not cheap but he gets to make a living doing what he loves! Hats off to him
Seeing vin go from popping e36 wheels off drifting in a parking lot to racing real race cars at Road America is awesome to see. Keep up the progress Vin!!!

Finally a RUclipsr doing something other than drifting 😂
So are we getting a Drivers Era RUclips channel as well? That would be sick
I think the opportunity has came & went.
Hell, I subbed to vin & stopped watching the videos. did the same with Zak...
& it seems others did the same, their videos are on a slow decline in views, they barely break 100k views now.
So awesome your family was out there supporting you. Thats awesome ! You did really well too!
It was a rad weekend
@vin_tra where do I find the other channel?
Seeing the Hoonigan boys out there thriving is the best. Also champ is the best boy

👍🏼
Touring car racing is by far my favourite. Close contact, relatable, just more interesting and exciting all around. Stoked to see you guys get involved! Honourable mention to BTCC
90s touring and group B rally are def the best shit ever!
Your mom at the start, amazing.
straight up called out him being scared
@@june20886but it's not "just driving.". He is right to be scared, that will help keep him and the drivers around him alive.
"How hard can it be" that's usually the famous last words😂😂😂
Not what i expected a mom would say, but pretty cool haha
Ok 10 seconds in and "it's just drivin' how hard can it be?" 🤣
Crazy to think that Hoonigan had these guys with such talent and drive and squandered it all. Happy to see the boys succeeding on their own.
The genracer crew always throws down on the track from the genesis, veloster and Elentra. The only crew that shows/proves hyundai can be competitive
This is what it’s all about. The sheer joy on Vin’s face after his race, more of this!
It was unreal
Crowdstrike on the front lip, def a bad omen 😬🤣
As an IT guy, that one made me laugh
@@SpineShank7 as long as he doesnt have a locker..... right?
That was likely before the update that broke the world.
Vin and Ron have always been my favorites from the crew, I couldn't stop smiling watching this vid, so happy for them. Hopefully next year I can see them when the series returns to COTA.
Holy hell! Crazy when you see people you know pop up on channels you watch. Congratulations Jeff!
Love Jeff. Even if he more than likely doesn’t love me
This episode was wholesome AF. Proud of you guys 💪💪💪
22:30 so much happiness❤

It’s sooooo fun
I wish more people watched the GT World races
@@vin_tra Looks like it man! I have an old 911 that I am building to track a bit. Some day...
@@HarryTwatter Same same. It is awesome racing.
So stoked to see you and Ron getting to race! Also Ron's "00" number plate hat is sick.
Damn dude!!! Loving the dream. I've been a huge Hyundai guy for like 20yrs. Watched the 2002 wrc seasons with the accent and the Tiburon "attempt" to race. Glad to see Hyundai coming back to life over the last couple of years.
Out here doing the most! This is what i like to see!
The joy is so back with Vin in this video! I haven't seen him smile that big in a long time! Can't wait to see more racing content, boys!
Had way too much fun
Was good fun seeing this happen live. I dunno if we're allowed to share other channels but if anyone wants to see the full event it is available on RUclips legally along with a stack of other amazing racing.
yes something different and exiting congrats Vin
Never worry about the last corner. Keep looking far ahead to the upcoming corner. Move your eyes to upcoming corner ASAP. Excited to watch this journey !! Nothing but positive vibes !!
It’s dope to see Hyundai getting some attentions. It’s time to see a new platform get some shine. Especially a relatively affordable one.
Amazing, the smiles on your face at the end just show how much fun you had! onto the next race!!
I do feel like Vins content has been going from strength to strength. Constantly improving. It’s fun to watch.
So great to see Vin genuinely thriving. Cant help but smile watching.
This was a super fun watch. Awesome to see everyone out there just having fun.
I assume you need a race license for that series, but I don't remember you ever talking about having one? Congrats dude, that looked like a blast, and you did a great job getting that across in the video. I would like to see more.
Hell yeah man! IMSA group series are some of my favorite racing. If y’all ever need a driver I’m your man!
Dude seeing the amount of sheer happiness you had really warmed my heart 🫶🏼
We are racing a series with 130hp lowered car with big brakes and slicks. Even with that car it is awesome. The adrenaline hits you differently when there are other cars on the track. Good content, Vin 😊
Feeling that Hard Charging and Long Island energy! 🔥🔥🔥
Hahahah
The vibe in this video, you just can't get it anywhere else. Love it from the start and towards the ending.
Bro you smoked it! Best part is I could see the ear to ear grin on your face through the helmet. What a blast. Congrats. Keep it up
4th in your first real professional race is actually insane man. congrats!
Glad it's something different to drifting. It couldn't happen to a more deserving person then you and Ron. Plus you made it enjoyable to watch every minute!
ALWAYS GLORIOUS PUPPER SHOTS!! Good luck and enjoy the success amigo
Hell yeah dude, congrats on the first race. Super crazy how far everyone has come since the early DT days.
aww mum coming along and watching is so sweet
So glad you trusted yourself and started your own channel! Very entertaining! Always looking forward to watch your latest videos! Keep pushing Bubba! Congrats on your race!

That's awesome man, congrats! So stoked and proud of you!

Congrats on a great race and experience Vin!
That was such a feel good episode, amazing job Vin! and a late Happy Birthday

That was a very enjoyable video. I was cheering for you all the way. Great drive!!
Congrats man!! Your patience and level headedness paid off on the track, and you were absolutely having the time of your life. I need to take some inspiration for my track videos. Great work Vin!!

Nice work making up some ground, and Team Hard Charger has a bit of a ring to it. Looking forward to future progress!
Will your next upload have something to do with that bumper for the Modena? 😊
The intro is perfect. I love how Vins mom said, "its just driving how hard can it be"..... It truly is ❤
I wish I could give you 100 more likes. Keep it up, loving all the content, loving the vibes, and loving the driving.
Glad you guys are finding your direction
Really impressive to see how fast you guys are progressing and how well you drove! I’m in the #22 Acura with the 8:09 podium cameo lol
We’re nothing compared to you!
YES! thank you for starting up another company w/ merch! definitely gonna support
