Jarod DeAnda - The Voice of Formula Drift! (Eps. 15) - a podcast by Hemmings

For almost two decades Jarod DeAnda has been adding swagger to the world of Formula Drift with his booming voice, professionalism and unparalleled personality. As a street racer in the mid-1990’s, he was there at the inception of the import scene in Southern California which lent itself as the inspiration for The Fast & Furious movie franchise. Then, after taking a variety of industry jobs, in 2004, Jarod had the opportunity to become an announcer for a then new automotive series called Formula Drift, and the rest as they say, is history.

 

On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ we dive into the pre-commercialized SoCal street racing scene and learn about how Drifting as sport infiltrated the United States to become one of the biggest automotive genres in existence. We then touch on how live events have changed in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic and if how, and when, normalcy will return to the automotive world.
