Zac Mertens - The cowboy hat HOONIGAN

Zac Mertens (@Mister_Zachary) was the literal voice of HOONIGAN. Among loud cars he was even louder, as he was one of two people (alongside Corey Hosford) who would MC the HOONIGAN Burn Yard shows. He's also known for his love of doing big burnouts in loud square body trucks, rating the idle of people's cars, hurting his back jumping a car in the original HOONIGAN burn yard, and rolling a borrow CAN-AM. Zac's story is an inspiring one. Long before he was the cowboy-hat wearing face on YouTube, he joined HOONIGAN as an editor, eventually rising to become head of post-production. Then he became the Marketing Director of HOONIGAN Racing Division where he worked alongside Ken Block. Today we talk about going REALLY fast in a boat; amazing engine architecture; how to upset your HOA; crazy tricks in heavy machinery; that Miata jump; why concrete is cool; how loud is too loud; Burnout Wars; motorcycles; and more. https://www.youtube.com/@MISTERZACHARY Recorded May 29, 2024 AutoTempest has all the cars.
