    Between Leroy’s new body, Mullet’s new engine, McFlurry’s new transmission, and last but not least, EAGLE being built… this channel is about to blow up with unreal drag content! So so stoked🤙🏽

      It's gonna all come together for a few months of epic content. Or, as we've seen before, under-tuned hyper drag cars get ran into the dirt with much higher times than projected, him and his crew not knowing what to do, and it becomes another Mullet. Mullet was kinda supposed to be a 5 second car, but it got thrown out the window because they're not on that level of tuning and engineering. Eagle hopefully will be overkill for the 5's, because Cleet and crew sure know how to give months of content for something that should've been solved in a couple weeks.

      @@A-A-RonDavis2470 I appreciate your attention to detail, but you’re lacking the big picture… this channel isn’t about setting records. It’s about setting goals, doing work, and overcoming obstacles along the way. I love the fact that they go around their elbow sometimes… sometimes they take baby steps, sometimes they buy a twin turbo hemi big block on a tube chassis ‘69 Camaro… it’s not about the destination, my brother. It’s truly about the journey.

      @@chrisisthedude1exactly my guy. They show the true side of being a car guy with all the tid bits of cool youtuber stuff. Yeah they could just pay all the right people and go stupid fast out of the box but that adds literally $0.00 in value to the channel. If they get there on their own then its almost a day by day video archive of their progress from nothing to the best and that will forever be on the internet. If you want it done right do it yourself and if you did it yourself shut up and try again till you get it right.

    Hey Cleetus did you know that the island of Kauai has a drag strip on the far west side of the island that is literally right on the beach ! It is struggling to get lights and grandstands but it was just repaved and they have some fast cars on the islands. People literally ship their cars from the other islands to go racing ! Someone like you even if you just visited and raced a rental car would be a huge deal for the island .
