On this episode of 1320video, we meet the legendary GTO brothers, including the enigmatic Canadian Chuck Norris, Richard Go, and Bob. These daredevils are known for their epic road trips, eschewing trailers and covering thousands of miles to reach events like Drag Week and Sick Week. Braving treacherous winter conditions, they rely on winter tires and mud flaps to conquer the elements. The nickname "Canadian Chuck Norris" was bestowed upon one of them, thanks to a humorous sticker created by Cameron Thorp, highlighting the camaraderie and fun-loving spirit of the racing community.
The GTO brothers express their gratitude to 1320video for their support and recognition, acknowledging the pivotal role the channel played in their racing careers. Recounting thrilling moments from past races, including a harrowing rainstorm during a Dragon Drive, they reflect on the wild and unpredictable nature of their adventures. Their journey into drag racing began with humble beginnings, starting with classic cars like a 69 Firebird and a modified 240Z with a powerful 5-liter engine.
Despite facing challenges like impromptu cam swaps on the side of the road, the brothers credit their upbringing on a farm for instilling in them the DIY spirit and mechanical skills necessary for their high-octane lifestyle. Their passion for the thrill of the road, the adrenaline of the race, and the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles drives their addiction to these intense road trips. Through their shared experiences and unwavering determination, the GTO brothers embody the spirit of true automotive enthusiasts, pushing the limits of what is possible on the open road.
