Best boss you'll ever have, and will probably ghost you in his DM's along with everyone else on this page. (too busy helping 25 other racers at once) Not Lou Gigliotti, that's his dad papa G.

  • Allen Patten

    Lead Foot / Record Breaker : Only made the page because Louis asked for him to be on here. Shows up drives the absolute piss out of his car, thrashes it and leaves.
