10:30 - Paint that water storage tank like a giant Mountain Dew can
Or in their fuel supplier (VP?) branding.
pressure tank needs to be a dew can
This has to be done. Maybe an official sponsor would help you wrap it. Cough.. cough.. PepsiCo.....
Bartle Skeet can.
And then fill it with Mountain Dew.
Taylor told me to tell you, that you need to build a proper drift car. Maybe another crown vic but low and with tons of angle
Everyone like this comment.
Neighbour's good enough
Could take some of the best vic's from the freedom factory 500.
@@drumboarder1 neighbor is great but its so boaty and has to much sidewall
Add angle, sway bars, and coil overs on neighbor.
Cleetus is the hype man of the century to get us interestes in him mowing grass. Can't wait for a "watching paint dry" vid lol. He'd make that exciting to I'd bet.
Floortile83 he did it yesterday with some rims with big meats on them. Lol
Floortile83 😛
What else am I supposed to do when I should be doing homework
When he gets the water running we'll get the privilege of watching the toilets flush. Don't believe me???
DRAG RACING PAINT DRIPS
Cleeter pitch meeting
Cleeter: we're going to make a video about cutting grass
Cooper: people will actually watch that?
Cleeter: we'll just add some drama about grass growing through the asphalt.
Cooper: I thought your fans are car nerds
Cleeter: they come for the cars but stay for the monotonous maintenance work
Bando Bandit we would watch anything if cleetus, cooper, and James is in it
I mean the man isn't wrong XD
"Stay for the monotonous maintenance" absolute truth. Its almost therapeutic
hahaha, never thought I would enjopy a video of some dude just cutting grass, but here we are. The freedom factory has become a part of lives and this channel.
Honestly this is the stuff I love to watch. The excited racing content and build stuff is cool, but the behind the scenes stuff that you dont get to see is what I'm interested in. I think its because that's the stuff you dont get to see anywhere else. I would never know all the work it would take to get a place like that up and running again. The month of freedom is gunna be awesome.
"I'm watching Cleetus mow his grass then I'll head out"
A text I never thought I'd send.
Right!!! lol.
Itisthequarantinewhereareyougoinghowdareyou
If I don’t see the dale truck do a lap in the month of May I’ll probably cry😂
Seriously!!!!
I second this.
Hell yeah brother
Cleetus is bringing all the freedom this month.
Ethan K hence the name month of freedom
I wonder what day they really shot this one, I saw boosted boi☆s are already home racing
Go watch the drifting video on Taylor Ray's channel
schooper really ya don’t say. 🥱
Ethan K you don’t say Cleetus is bringing the freedom this month 🥱
When Cleetus put up the signs telling people to stay out, and now he is obsessing over his lawn...he is now that old man yelling at kids to stay off his lawn!
James Burkhardt , love it. ❤️
Haha trueeeee
Hahaha!
Dude... That's funny
turning into a Grumpy Ole Florida Man !
The merch girl is just Holley. Tell her great work on the clean up and painting. Had a lot of time on her paws.
Girlfriend: why are you running in to the living room?
Me: I *need* to watch cleetus mow the lawn!!
(LOL)
Girlfriend: why don't you mow our lawn?!
Dean Bryan 😖.
This comment section got me. My wife just called me out for watching cleetus mow... then told me to go fix our lawn
@@youtubeisbroken241 That's why you have to mow the lawn before the better half asks!
@@MrOgre1110 correct response: why don't you build me a drift pad?
I know it would be a lot of work, but repainting all that red with FF blue would really make it look like a complete package. Also, a FF logo on the driveway somewhere would look sick.
Shoutout to the Scots company and Bethel Farms for donating the grass, looks awesome!
Cleetus: Walks up to his own building on his own property he's had for months.
"Dangit. It's locked."
I'm watching the video, and right as I'm reading this comment he walks up to the door and realizes it's locked! LMAO
Needs a giant FF logo in the center of the burnout pad
Going to repaint that more often than the grass will need to be replanted.... BUT will look amazing! Hey Cleetus should we build some robots that will repaint the burnout pad before every event? :D
That’s what I thought when he stood in the bleachers!
He needs a damn blimp with those giant spot lights that beam up in the sky.
UserName117 Batman style light with FF into the night sky
16:30 - “Branding is everything” as Cleetus walks underneath an old Desoto Speedway sign.
lol
Honestly I think keeping at least one original DeSoto sign would be a great way to keep the history alive. Maybe not right at the main entrance, but somewhere.
Troyrockstar real talk
I was going to make this comment, ya beat me to it!
Beat me to it! LOL
I’m an idiot 🤦🏽♂️ when you said the mower was getting a stripe kit on it I thought you were talking it was getting some racing stripes 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
You're not alone... Lol
Same
Everybody
😂
Same, i was expecting that John Deere racing livery
You guys must not be middle-class beer drinking dads.
Soon as I heard stripe kit, I whacked it to the pictures of my lawn on my phone.
When he said he wanted the stripe kit on the mower before he mowed I thought he meant racing stripes like a vinyl wrap....I was like oh boy cleetus is getting OCD. I wonder after how many races running through the grass and mowtime before he switches to astro turf...or green pavement🌿🏎🍃
Glad I wasn't the only one haha
Definitely thought the same lol
Lmao, second that motion. As far as the grass, I think it's the best option, in the long run... you tear it up... grow it back. Not sure what the upkeep would be on ASTRO turf or painted surface. Besides that you need a space on the track that's not concrete or asphalt, ASTRO turf car is just going to slide. Grass, tires dig in and could prevent a massive spin out or accident. Most of all it can help with the flooding, and drain issues being that it would take in water not sure to what extent but I would imagine it would help in minor situations.
Hahah me too!
He'll just get sick of doing the work himself to keep up with the live infield and hire someone to do it for him. 😄
The world is under quarentine and im watching a man with a mulett mow grass on you tube....
A man of Culture, if ever I knew one !
Best part of this video is the end. Cleetus really loves this place. It’s his heart. I really hope ppl go out and support it when the world opens back up.
“We’re just getting this place branded up” *turn around and points directly at Desoto speedway sign* lol.. love ya cleet
Brendan Phipps literally what I thought 😂😂
I wonder if the original owner would want the sign.
@@james3429 i feel like Cleetus would at least keep the signs i don't think he would throw them away but that is a good question im sure he would get them if he wanted
Hay it's a start
16:24 16:30 lol
I think everything thats white can get re-painted white, but all that red needs to get the FF-Blue color - all the buildings, the columns out front, the announcers box in the bleachers............ everything!
@@ZboeC5 iam sure they will get around to it everything takes time and money
I volunteer to paint it! IF I can take my jeep on the Freedom Holler dirt track.
Yup.
I can't speak for myself, but I know Hank would be proud. "Why would anyone do drugs, when they could just mow a lawn." - Hank Hill
But have you ever tried mowing while doing drugs?
Yeah, but.. have you ever mowed a lawn.
ON WEEEEED MAN.
brayden heppner yes
@@TheZmt325 youd be a lot cooler if you did man
I just posted that on his fb the other day lmao
Am I the only one that thought a stripe kit was going to be racing stripes on the mower?
I don't think so
Nope!
Yeahhhh I expected bald eagles, not aggressive grass stripes
Yep me too
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY!! Needs a BALD EAGLE wrap!! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
“branding is everything”
*walks by desoto speedway sign* 😂
"oh your track isnt open to the public and your gate is locked? lets see what you do about an airplane" lol
Nothing....unless it LANDS there...😏
Better yet a helicopter can just land on the burn out pad.
@@pennywise8579 Cleetus: Hell Yeah Brother!!
That would probly be his response to that lol
better bring a super STOL aircraft like a super cub lol because regular small airplanes won't land there :) , more than likely at the track next door though :)
@John Johnson Hmmmm. Maybe, but those poles and fences. Oh you got a C, all good!
I need a life. Just watched a guy mow his lawn and I'm ok with that.
@@toronto543ontario6 this is racing stuff. it not yor regular lawn hes mowing. it the Freedom Factory baby
You'd like UA-cam Channel called "The Lawn Care Nut" then. He's pretty cool.
you and 90 thousand other people
and me :(
We are all bored right now man lol
@@Blakhawk1703 Hane is the man!
Mowing grass is so damn satisfying for some reason..... smells like FRESH CUT FREEDOM right there
changing the "Welcome to Desoto Speedway" sign should be the last thing to be replaced to mark the "proper" opening of the place
Hi guys... just wanted to say I love all your videos . I'm in the UK. No oval tracks. No skid pans. No bald eagles . No nothing really. Currently in lockdown . And your videos brighten up my day. Love ruby . But my fave is Leroy.
Even started yelling "hell yeah at the missus".
Think I should move.
Great job guys.
Thank you.
Cleetus: "branding is everything"
Sign in the background: *DeSoto speedway*
It was perfect!!
Shit beat me to it
gotta love when you see “uploaded 10 seconds ago”
I got 5 minutes ago and the video isn't on his channel list or notifying, just appeared on youtube recommended.
They've got grass growing in asphalt. Meanwhile I can't get grass to grow in my back yard.
This content is not boring!! Really enjoying coming along for the ride just wish i lived in your country i would love to give you a hand fixing up the place! Such a big change since you got it . Keep up the great work guy's
He says time lapse when in fact they LS swapped the John Deere and recorded it in real time!!! HELL YEA! BROTHER
“We’re trying to get branding everywhere!” Over shoulder: big “Desoto Speedway sign” 😂
Trying and succeeding are not the same thing
I literally just sat down on my couch looking at Netflix after a long day at work and my phone was like bam!! Watch some cleetus! Hell yeah Brother!
Give Alex one of the retired crown Vic wrap it like neighbor and make it his “company car”
Allyn is the freaking man! He has help me transform my lawn from having mud last year to making stripes this year!
Such an amazing transformation. I can not wait to drive down from Indiana and visit the Freedom Factory when you have an open event. I love seeing all the FF maintenance videos too. Keep them coming. 50/50, cars/FF is good for me, I will watch them all, every one. Hell Yeah brother.
"Branding is everything!" -Cleetus [with huge "Desoto Speedway" sign over his shoulder]
Before cutting on water to toilets I would replace all seals before. They haven’t been used in years and are probably dries up.
You are so right Chad I am a retire plumber
Agree
Idk rubber should be fine.
*Cracks a cold one In Hank Hill voice:
"Yep"
🤘🔥🇺🇸
Mmhmm
Future mowing at the FF! y.yarn.co/83b422b0-5fdb-4c1b-bb7e-6d0fd879400a_screenshot.jpg
@@vortexrage3918 YEP!! certified ripper. Or should I say; Don't give him too many ideas.
Next video: Cleetus attempts to clear the track wall on a John Deer ride-on mower - Freedom Filled
Why would anyone do drugs when they could just mow a lawn?
I love the FF videos just as much as the car ones. Seeing a piece of Americana brought back to life, and watching you all learn all sides of business is just cool. What you and Coop said about not knowing something as simple as transporting water would become such a major thing rings true to so many things then you first get started. Somewhere that big needs a lot of maintenance and even more money if you want it to not be slowly degrading. Monthly expenses eat you alive, and then the random $20k on happens out of nowhere. It's going to be great seeing what you can do to it with all of your contacts, sponsors, and events you put on.
this video shows how a UA-camr with an awesome personality can get people to watch them, even though they are just mowing grass...love it you are a truly an awesome dude.
"We're trying to get this place branded-up. Branding is everything these days"
*Immediately walks past a DESOTO SPEEDWAY sign*
It’s crazy to think that one of Leroy’s first burnouts was at the Desoto Speedway/Freedom Factory.
I can’t believe I’m sitting here watching someone mow the grass 😂 good on you Freedom Factory 🤛
Love watching you guys develop DeSoto into something fresh and new, long live The Freedom Factory! Glad you are doing 50/50 too, thanks again for all your efforts, this channel rules!
honestly amazed at the progress made on this facility in such a short time. the man had a dream and vision and did not mess about getting it done . total credit to him and his team
When you have events you need to get a huge stencil and spray the grass on both Sides of the burn out pad with BIG OL FF logo in Blue in the center of the grass
YES WE NEED THIS
Getter Done Asap
16:32 branding is everything...
Walks past a Desoto speedway sign..
He's working on it folks. The man has a lot on his plate.
A vid a day in may!!! Whoohooo
Who else thinks this is weirdly satisfying
I love any freedom factory content.
It's weird if you don't find it satisfying. Lol
Powerwashing the bleachers was good too.
Bob Jene bet it smelt nice as well
This and time lapse pressure washing....MMMMM
Zen and the art of racetrack maintenance...very peaceful to watch you cut the grass
I’m just hoping during this month of freedom we get at least one McFarland Science Channel vid 🤙🏼😂
A freedom factory yearly swap meet would be pretty spicy
Freedom Factory new shirt idea
"Mow or Go"
Home
@@themausindahaus814 I was making a play on the "Blow or Go" shirts they have.
"Mow for it..!!!"
This place is gonna have to turn people away its gonna be so packed. Itll never hold all of us cleeters
not yet😈
I’m totally ready to drive down from East TN for any kind of event lol.
I think thats what they made tickets for. If you don't got a ticket, don't bother.
I'm planning to go from the UK 🤪🤘🏻
Dont worry about me its way to far for where i live i have to get a freaking plane to come to the ff
Cleetus just a little tip to make the infield look it's best mow north and south one time and then east and west the next throwing in diagonal cuts as well and when you get the stripe kit on it will look even better. This is something I learned mowing commercially
I'm the kind of man who can really enjoy this sort of work. Can almost smell the grass through the camera.
Wife caught me watching a man mowing grass when my own lawn needs to be moved 😐
Themadoutbacker you can tell her you were doing research to make sure you do it properly 🤷♂️😂😂
Tell that dishwasher to pipe down.
@@mike86mike I prefer "sandwich machine" .
I wish I could mow anything at all.
Themadoutbacker now you have an excuse to spend 10k on a new mower
Can’t wait for y’all to open up and watch some nasty events bub so crazy to see how far you’ve came the past couple years
We have watched cleetus enter his final form. Full dad mode making grass videos. I am complete.
For the best results and to help promote growth mow the grass a different direction and leaving a different striping, each time, 4 different times at least etc. Just from personal experience with mowing luscious yards at fancy homes.
Ole cleeter can actually mow a pretty straight line. I’m impressed!
@7:39 edging wont fix that. The grass isnt reaching under the asphalt. There is flaw in the asphalt surface. An air passage from surface to ground. There are effectively seeds everywhere, in all the dirt, and if its exposed to any oxygen, and water it will sprout. Tar the surface.
Another 2" of blacktop. They only did 2" to begin, and that's not enough
It's so weird seeing you without a beard
Freedom Factory 2021: Firetruck Burnout
Cant believe how well it has turned out.. mad props to you Cleetus
*** Lawn looks good all the way from Prince George BC Canada.(12 hrs north of Seattle), make sure you edge your lawns where it meets the concrete of pavement, if you do not keep it edged it will take over, as I see in some parts it has already began. A properly edged lawn will make it look 100% better.
Name the FF shop The Outhouse. It's where you take your crap when it breaks
Challenge for the merch girl: Giant FF on the infield grass!
Is that a euphemism?? Lol
@@onedayiwillmakesomecontent :D
could be done with with white sand like the line on a baseball field... id let the new grass settle a bit fisrt
A Big Ol 60's Las Vegas style neon sign that just says FF on the highest pole ya can possibly put up so the first thing ya see is where ya need to be.
Hell yeah cleet , no better time for a month of freedom.
Congrats Cleet, the place is started to come together -- can't wait to see video's of events and everything up and running
It’s really awesome to see how much this speedway changed in only a few months. Can’t wait to see what is next
He said stripe kit yesterday and here I thought he was going to get a stars and bars wrap for the ole' John Deere!
cattailmatt me too. Never knew that’s what groundskeepers did to make patterns in baseball grass
Crap I just realized I had the same thought yesterday.
Incredible
he's got us thinking about everything he says like its racecar related, I love it.
Bet Garrett NEVER thought when he first started this channel he would be making a video of him mowing grass so proudly.😂🤣 👍👍💪😂 Freedom Factory.💪💪🤙🤙🤙
I don't know he once stole a lawn mower and took it home in the back of his bosses corvette! LOL
The Freedom Factory is screaming for a 4th of July event.
If the Corona doesn't come in for Wave 2 around that time...
Its Independence Day. Every country has a 4th of July. Get it straight.
Cleetus made such a badass move purchasing the racetrack and all the cool toys to go along with it. By far so much more entertaining than other UA-camrs with 2* Mullion Subscribers.
I do enjoy a good lawn care video, breaks up the heavy duty freedom action nicely. Looks good Cleatus
As The Lawn Care Nut says, enjoy the mow!
Cleet: It's almost mandatory to go to the top of the bleachers
Coop: I'm just gonna chill down here
"Branding is everything" Desoto Speedway sign in the background.
If there were ever a life goal, it would be to mow the grass on my own race track. Y'all are killin it, James, Coop and Cleeter for the win! Really hope you will keep some of the Desoto Speedway signage in some of the premium spots around the track to honor the past and bring good fortune to the future.
Clete, it is worth mowing it all. If those seeds from other grasses and weeds blow around like they were near the tank, it'll turn your nice grass back to swamp grass.
They should name the garage at the track “The Eagle Nest” or “The Nest” .
Google eagles nest
And the announcer booth
The perch
@@chriscovington11 Yikes, um yeah...Definitely the wrong eagle to be associated with.
Little too much Nazi imagery there bud
If Everglades actually takes back their stuff at the end of the year, look into Ventrac. Pretty versatile and their mower decks have a built in striping roller.
They are really expensive, but there are a few attachments they would use.
that would be sick to see him on a ventrac, im just hoping hes keeping his blades sharp
16:31 "Branding is everything " as Cletus walks under a Desoto speedway sign.
The inside looks great and you guys are doing so good now. Freedom factory is looking great once again always look forward to the updates
You guys are killin' it at the Freedom Factory! Nice work everybody! 🏁🇺🇲

Content:
"CLEANING GREASE FROM MY FINGERNAILS"
jk we all love the content no matter what you guys do👍
Probably get 2 million views.. lots of ppl need hand washing lessons lmfao🤣
You ain't wrong, I can't think of a single UA-camr that I'd watch mow their grass and be happy while watching besides Cleetus
@@randybooth9192 I learned my handwashing techniques from a surgeon. He was a client at a car dealership I worked at and caught me while I was washing at the massive round basin with the foot pedal. He walked me through it properly. What a cool surgeon!
"Honey why do you watch so many car channels?"
"To watch freedom grass get cut of course!"
Hey cleeter next time use a drone for a time lapse, it’d be more satisfying and gives a wider view
FourWheeledFloridian right something that just tracks him as he goes then put in the go pro for filler footage
@@yurmom131 Or maybe a 100 plus mile an hour fpv quad harassing the lawn mower like an angry insect! Extreme lawn mowing! 🙂 But, something like you said would be cool too.
Great idea. I got a little dizzy there for a moment back and forthing so much.
dang, power moves is an understatement young cleeter is on a mission, we appreciate the hustle never stop the freedom bro
I've always hated cutting the grass, but after I'm through sneezing, I feel satisfied...ty Cleetus!...
Last time i came this fast she told all her friends
Riley Fisher I bet you cut faster then ceetus did after that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
