In Episode 5 of Let’s Be RONest, host Ron Bergenholtz sits down with automotive creator, fabricator, and all-around motorsports mad scientist Taylor Ray.
From drifting, clutch kickers, and mountain roads to jet boats ripping through Florida back rivers, Taylor’s obsession with building and driving anything with an engine runs deep. The conversation dives into why he insists on building his own cars, the mental and physical realities of competitive driving, and how understanding every bolt and wire changes the way you push limits.
Ron and Taylor also get into the realities of Formula Drift — what it really takes to compete, why arrive-and-drive programs matter, and how drivers like James Deane and Adam LZ have reshaped the sport. Along the way, they talk fabrication, wiring nightmares, jet boat addiction, YouTube risks, and the moment Taylor bet everything on content creation as a full-time career.
This episode features Taylor Ray discussing drifting, fabrication, jet boating, YouTube, and the realities of motorsports at every level.
