In this riveting tale from the legendary Larry Chen, a maestro behind the lens of car culture, we witness a metamorphosis from a high-speed snapper to a full-throttle racer. Larry's odyssey unfolds from capturing automotive beauty to becoming part of the high-octane symphony himself. The journey kicks off with Larry's bold decision to swap his camera for a drift car and a high-speed filming rig featuring a Toyota Supra, a machine built to capture the essence of speed without compromise.

As Larry delves into the world of competitive racing, he sets his sights on obtaining a coveted competition license through NASA, a gateway to the adrenaline-fueled realm of wheel-to-wheel racing. Through a grueling NASA competition school at the iconic Big Willow track, Larry faces a baptism by fire, navigating a labyrinth of rules, flags, and track etiquette. The narrative unfolds with heart-pounding warm-up exercises, nerve-wracking side-by-side driving challenges, and a mesmerizing spectacle of mixed-class racing that pushes both man and machine to their limits.

Larry's account serves as a beacon of inspiration, urging viewers to chase their racing dreams through established avenues like NASA. His story encapsulates the thrill, danger, and camaraderie that define the world of competitive racing, offering a glimpse into a realm where passion meets precision on the unforgiving asphalt. Larry's journey from shutterbug to speed demon is a testament to the unyielding spirit of those who dare to push the boundaries of speed and skill in pursuit of automotive glory.
