Your reaction matches really well with your current avatar paradox lol

I'm agree with Tyler can be Joey 2.0. But what I'm really interested in is on his teammate, because I've never seen Korey on YouTube and I wonder whether he's just the same as Joey on the race lol.

That's what I'm afraid of. He's the biggest name of the bunch so I can see this team getting preferential treatment.

Last night was Tyler's movie premiere of Snervous in LA. Tyler couldn't be there as he is in NYC doing media promoting the movie. Some racers came to the premiere to show support.

Korey, Dana, Matt, Jessica, Brittany, Erin and Joslyn attended the event.
