The Real Story of the Illegal Street Race across America
Hunter's Moon
@huntersmoonAbout
Welcome to Hunter's Moon! This channel aims to shed light on lesser known stories from all corners of the automotive realm - from JDM to Euro, and from time attack to underground racing. In the future I want to start interviewing some of the greats to gain more insight into their stories and accurately share them as well. Maybe one day I'll have some of my own to share too. While my day job consists of research on vegetables and robots, I've really enjoyed building on my passion for cars through this channel and am blown away by the support and awesome community here on YouTube. Whether you're a die-hard time attack fan or simply love a good story, I hope Hunter's Moon can bring some value to you. If you have any ideas you'd like to suggest, feel free to reach out! I'm always looking to learn more and will add them to the list. As always, I hope you enjoy the channel and have a great day, Geoff
