00:08 The more smoke, the better.
00:09 And if you break something, that's even better.
00:11 [MOTORCYCLE ENGINE]
00:14 It's Friday night.
00:15 Yeah, Friday night in the barn.
00:16 What else would you be doing?
00:17 [MOTORCYCLE ENGINE]
00:21 There's this idea of danger, but you're still in control
00:24 of your car.
00:25 You would never really want to let it crash.
00:27 [CRASH]
00:28 Same with art, you crash the mirror,
00:31 but you want to create something while you're
00:32 destroying something.
00:34 The artist and the driver is not the same.
00:38 Maybe it can be a place for your creativity,
00:42 and then you can feel as an artist.
00:44 It's no problem.
00:46 I might use ink or oil, and these people

01:31 [MOTORCYCLE ENGINE]
01:33 A car is a tool, but it's designed for transportation.
01:36 These are tools that are designed just to burn rubber.
01:39 [MOTORCYCLE ENGINE]
01:43 We could have it so that one of us is here, and one of us
01:45 here, but we're off center.
01:46 Then you've got safety, and you've got guys
01:48 that can physically intertwine.
01:50 [MOTORCYCLE ENGINE]
01:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:57 I thought it was toxic, and polluting, and destructive.
02:08 I don't know.
02:09 I don't know what to think.
02:12 Everybody has a little bit of redneck in them.
02:15 They just don't know it until they come to a burnout.
