    Heres his channel I found it. Check out the Malibu wheelie. That and the one of his 12 sec run at the strip. This boy can shift!! Possibly my all time fav you tube vid.

    Hes a real good guy. Has some nice rides. Him and his buddies rent the drag strip each year for a day. Some serious cars around the Niagara area. His buddies Malibu is nuts.
    His Comet drivetrain is no crazy build. Its just a package that works real well. His driving may have some influence on it also.(y)

    Just got my issue and the magazine practically fell open to page 88 ... saw the name Derek and recognized it from the video.

    I don't get Modified M&Fs. Never seen it before. May be something to look into.
