Hey
@Green Hornet !
Thanks fer the Cleeter slaps!
I've known Garrett since his early 1320 Video days. 1320 Video was at this Drag racing event where I was crew chief for a twin turbo Mustang driven by a woman. I was talking with Kyle, the CEO of 1320 video In which I knew him from their coverage of Cash Days that we both attended, and trying to get some coverage for my driver! And here comes this tall, a few inches taller than
me,
Awkward as hell young guy in his very early 20s at that time. He seemingly still hadn't grown out of that really awkward "all arms and legs" Stage that most of us taller people outgrow by 16 or 17 years old.
He took over their editing and posting of their videos, but also carried a camera during the events. Kyle directed Garrett to go take a position at the 1000 foot marker and Kyle interviewed my driver.
With the weather we had, people were making crazy horsepower, but the track's prep was just not quite up to holding everything the good weather was making. close calls were left and right and then we had a really bad wreck. This guy was definitely on a run, but he got out of shape and air got underneath his car and he went flying out of control and just along for the ride! This guy was heading directly where Garrett was stationed. This goofy Goober Head stood his ground and he got one hell of a shot on the camera! Any of us that are older and
know we are mortal, would have dove for cover!
The boy just does not have any fear. Maybe that's why he does so well at so many different things. I think that's a partial reason. The kid is an absolute natural at driving or flying or piloting any damn thing!
I was worried when he got the plane and then the helicopter, that this lack of fear would bite him in the butt! Thank God it didn't. Maybe being married and a family guy now might have been part of the reason that he chilled a bit, at least with those particular items.
I am so happy for him with the things that he has accomplished with his YouTube channel and the life that it has afforded him. And best of all, he hadn't got a swollen head from all the fame and fortune!
