FEATURE INTERVIEW
We were luck enough to snag some time with Formula Drift Driver Conrad Grunewald for this episode of the podcast show, and Conrad didn’t disappoint! He drives the Hankook sponsored Camaro, and it started out as a BIW (Body in White) car that’s been set up to drift. It’s powered by a relatively stock LS7 that Conrad has no trouble running for an entire season.
Like a lot of us, Conrad got his start in motorsports in the drag racing world, and when he turned pro he moved into road racing, then into Formula Drift. During the interview we talked about everything from how long his tires last, to the specs on his motor, to the fact that racing is a 16-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week job. Conrad also discussed how others could get involved in the drift world as well…..but move quickly, because the field is getting crowded!
Thanks for the interview, Conrad!
