    In 1976 I first went to Stafford Speedway and met your grandfather - he was super friendly and helpful back then, and you are obviously a product of that family attitude. Awesome job on the weekend, I throughly enjoyed the New England 900 and plan on attending next year, too!

    I wanna thank the track owners for allowing Cletus to have an event like this SO close to where I am and many other people that enjoy the event. I look forward to bringing my family back to this track. Several times hopefully you guys have a lot of events

    David I just showed this video to my wifey and it brought back so many memories flooding back! She spent more Fridays than she can remember cause her dad raced there in his 53 modified Vega Steve Zukowski. He past away almost 2yrs ago! She's very Very impressed on how beautiful the track and grounds look!

    Loved your facility bud, tried to do our best to be respectful. I was blown away by how awesome even the local guys where. Just about every person there was like minded, and that always helps. Hopefully you host them again next year, I know I will be buying the day that they go on sale. Much love my guy! Excellent place and above average people running it. Hell Yeah Brother!

Last time I was at the track was the 87 swap meet, still have the dana 44 c6 rearend I bought there and used in a six inch stretched front end s10 with full tube frame cab back. Of coarse tpi back then. Crowd and staff were amazing. Glad it worked out so well and looking forward to many more good times out there.

    Thanks for making this video. Gives us all just a little insight to all the hard work at goes into running the Stafford Speedway facility that we all love. I'd suggest wearing cut resistant work gloves when manually picking up trash. Could save you from getting some nasty cuts. Thanks for everything and see you Friday !!

  • @jacksonbennett6151
    @jacksonbennett6151 4 місяці тому +8

    I was there for the first time on Friday, it was a great event and nicely run venue. The bathrooms were clean and the food and drinks lines were fairly quick for the amount of people there. My only gripe or constructive criticism would be get the drinks on ice sooner and obviously more beer! I saw the drink fridge at the food trailer getting stocked during the rush, I assumed the drinks going in were not cold and that would be a bummer on a hot day given the premium price. Otherwise great event and look forward to another Cleetus event next year!

    The racetrack property looks great and I watched the NE900 on PPV. You can see the pride of family ownership in it. You seem to be an outstanding young man with a great future. Okay Cleetus fans lets go for half the trash next year. Tracks like this are precious few and we have to protect them.

    Having gone to this track every week for years now, it’s always awesome to see small UA-cam channels at local places. Especially one that owns the track and races in it. I was on Tyler learys pit crew when he raced here, but still keep going because I just love this place. One of the best short tracks in this country, awesome to see you putting in work on a UA-cam channel! With content coming more consistently, so will the editing and uploading! I’ll have to officially meet ya one of these Fridays👊

    I was there both days and made sure to keep all my trash in my bag and put it in the garbage cans. Even walking out with the stadium lights off after the fireworks. Kinda upset me to see the trash under the stands. Come on people we need to do better!! You should get some recycling bins too those can returns would be massive!! and make sure next year you post a little video as soon as Cleetus tickets go on sale I got a bunch of people who want to come next time haha

    Possibly at big events offer your locals to come out on Sunday to help with cleanup. Maybe offer free entry to one of the regularly scheduled events for their help. Would just make yours and your teams life a little easier. Wouldn't have to allow them to run any equipment. But anyone can run a rake and fill bags.
