Skunk2's origins, revealed.
HHQ: The Story Behind Z-Speed (Part 1)
Feb 7th, 2011 // Article By: Skunk2 Staff // Photographer: Skunk2 Staff
In an effort to stay on top of our game, several weeks ago we reached out to the community, asking for everyone’s Skunk2-related, "hard-hitting" questions. The questions would be directed at Skunk2’s owner and founder, Dave Hsu. Everyone's opinions, questions, and concerns were addressed, and we’ll knock through the list one by one. Some claimed that we wouldn't keep our promise; others said we'd sugar coat the process entirely by cherry-picking the easy questions.
Some may think that they know the connection between Z-Speed and Skunk2. Unfortunately, much of that so-called “knowledge" is far from the truth. Sit back and watch as Dave begins to reveal the real connection between the early-’90s Honda parts manufacturer and present-day Skunk2.

Funny how Dave opened this up in the public, which is cool. I know there's only a handful of people in the industry know that even know James/Z.Speed and that background. Especially with most of the people from back that know this are already out of the scene.
Cool story though Dave. :) We all had our stepping stones in how we got into this industry. Good to see your hardwork paid off!
