Meet the FilBillys.
John Yoyogi FortesI've always been a car junkie since I was a kid copying Ed Roth's artwork, drawing my own monsters in cars. I read Car Craft, Rod & Custom and Hot Rod magazine and went to my first drag race with my brother Phil when I was a teen at Kingdon Drag Strip near Stockton.
I shoot video as a profession and being out on the salt offers so many opportunities to capture some of the history I read about as a kid. |
Willie FortesI'm a nube to Speed Week. I'm just hoping my Dad and I don't kill each other on this trip. Not because we don't get along but because our combined lack of attention to detail, uncanny abilities for forgetting important information, and undeniable attraction to split impulsive decisions is sure to get us into one hell of an adventure. I hope "The Salt" is ready for some true West Coast FilBillys!
