In the high-octane world of drifting, Larry Chen's journey is a tale of passion, perseverance, and parental support. From a wide-eyed spectator at the Long Beach Grand Prix to a podium contender, Larry's evolution is nothing short of remarkable. His fleet of BMW E36, E46, E82, and E92 models tells a story of grit and determination, each car bearing the scars and victories of his drifting adventures. The E92, fondly named "Send It Sally," stands as a testament to Larry's commitment, with its M50 turbo engine roaring to life on the dyno, despite some questionable welding choices.
Larry's affinity for the E36 chassis is a nod to his humble beginnings, starting his drifting career with a $500 LS car that he transformed into a racing beast. The transition from a jinxed red livery to a vibrant green and pink design marked a turning point in Larry's fortunes, propelling him from struggling to break into the top 32 to clinching a podium finish. His involvement in nurturing emerging talent, exemplified by his collaboration with Casey Chavez, showcases his dedication to the drifting community's growth and success.
The LS3-powered E46 and LS-equipped E92 in Larry's expanding arsenal are a testament to his unwavering pursuit of excellence. The Torstorm supercharger's unique performance characteristics in the E92 have proven instrumental in Carson Ruger's journey to securing a pro license, a feat achieved through sheer determination and skill. Larry's commitment to cultivating talent across different drift car levels, from pro to hot pit, underscores his vision for a thriving and diverse drifting landscape. The battle-scarred chassis from Larry's Utah escapade serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and rewards that come with pushing the limits in the adrenaline-fueled world of drifting.
