Rain out but being able to meet John force AND him leaving his mark on a hot turbo is awesome!!!
I bet that was little embarrassing
Shheeeesh
How many bald eagles you think it added to the elco?
@@stevenmcc2119 no reason it should be, he didnt know how long it was parked there.
Major nod for KSR when Steve Morris got out complimenting how nice the Camino drives.. to the point Tom has to jump in to defend his car. Lol.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that drive.. I kinda wonder if there'll be a Steve Morris engine in one of Cleetus's cars soon. I keep trying to design a car around one of his BBCs, because they're awesome.
Kevin is a legend..!!
Kevin can most likely build whatever ol' Cleet wants. It's still gotta be dialed in and I'm ready to see it whenever he is. I gotta say though, it's still so very impressive to see a dependable "daily driver" running in 7's or 6's!
@@brolohalflemming7042 spying this comment in early 2023 . . .
@@brolohalflemming7042I hope you’re still watching cleetus! What a call haha
"Buy PEAK Antifreeze or I'll be fired" - John Force
Lol.
I really loved this video
How do you only get 7 likes? 😂
Kevin committed one of the Midwestern cardinal sins: mentioning how good the weather is...
Never fails. May as well have done a rain dance.
Being from the midwest its so true but in Florida it rains everyday for at least a little bit it seems lol
If you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes.
Should’ve started snowing before the sun came out to really give him the full Midwest experience
@@grantsdad177 😂
John Force: "Ooo Turbos"
Mullet: : "Aht Aht! Don't touch."
Since he left finger prints on the turbo the least he could do is autograph it! Maybe throw in caution it was hot
@@rogerherring772 "J. Force was here. It was hot" I don't know if that would fit on the turbo. Maybe the hood? XD
@@Project_SneakyV it'll fit on a hoody!!🤣
Here's your sign
Old saying at the welding shop: “It doesn’t have to LOOK hot, to BE hot.”
Its a mean joke but when id get an especially green helper at the shipyard id hand over some fresh cut steel over and say - here hold this! 😬
“If it’s on the weld table don’t pick it up.”
The first things I’d tell people in the shops I’d work at. The other was “Don’t use your hand as a hammer.”
@@HappyHarryHardon good rule that one! My general rule is if it's on the welding table, don't even touch it without gloves. It just ain't worth the 5 seconds you save going bare handed when you got no skin!
That and assume every part near the machines haven't been deburred and there are chips everywhere, don't need blood all over the shop 😂
It’s a right of passage to singe off a finger print or three
John Force: “Yeah, those turbos scare the shit out me when I go by them”. What a humble brag
That was trick. Kind of like an astronaut telling an old spy plane pilot, that’s pretty high.
thats a classy trash
And you kind sir are funny LOL funny car funny I Met You in Spokane thought you heard a couple times pardon the pun LOL
Lmao my stupid self thought he was some former Nascar driver... now I realize why so many people commented about this... HAHAHA
Yea I noticed that 🤣👍👌👍
mullet definitely needs a "hot: dont touch - John Force" sticker around the turbo's lol
Of all people youd think john force would know an exhaust can be hot at times
He doesnt mess with turbo cars he runs with Nitro
@@getchasome6230 He was probably just nervous being in front of a camera for the first time ever.
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 you obviously don't know who John Force is unless you were being sarcastic
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 I see what you did there 👀
Kevin's Dad strength ...... With 3 daughters, can only image how quickly he signed up to do dragweek.
He's currently doing the "Week of Freedom"
You know that 🤣🤣🤣
You know, there are these crazy dads out there that don't actually hate being dads. Kevin seems like a good dad, but he's also a businessman who is smart enough to realize that this much exposure allows him to take better care of his kids.
@@deciplesteve it's not about hating being dad, it's about enjoying a hard earned break
Let's not forget no amount of money can replace time not spent with someone.
@@Matty.Hill_87 100% agree with you Matt.
I'm a father of two great kids - it's the best job in the world - but that doesn't mean that I, or my kids themselves, don't enjoy our own time doing our own things we enjoy.
The way Cleet gets excited over Force is the way thousands look at Cleet. So awesome
I was just thinking the same thing. He seems to do a great job keeping himself grounded, but a little extra humble never hurt anyone.
CHEERS!
"It scares the shit out of me when I go by them." Brilliant burn by John Force 👏
He had to burn them back ;)
John force what a legend 😍😍 crazy I remember my dad watching him when I was just a wee lad!
Animal Jim Fuerer looked so much like my grandpa that we got invited into his trailer in the pits to shoot some sh#t.
I watched him as a young kid. And that was 30+ years ago.
I remember when the guy couldn't win a race to save his life. Dude kept making final after final only to lose out until he finally won one. Been nothing but winning ever since.
A wee lad....so what?. Last week
a blower guy touching the hot turbo was funny
Gonna need to cut the bottoms off a couple Mt. Dew cans to put over the wastegate tubes. 🤌🤌
Brilliant. And the touch of green would actually go great with that grey
@@asylumental i hope you are not a colour advisor in a paintshop
And then start it up build some massive boost and let the blow offs shoot them suckers up, up and away lol
@@snakebiteparadise5504 a little green wouldn't hurt. It's a pretty monochromatic color scheme. It would definitely stick out like a sore thumb but, wouldn't be a crazy clash. Be good for a Mt Dew ad campaign.... 🤔🤔😂🤣
@@snakebiteparadise5504 are you daft? Green and grey is a common color combo.
Black/green
Grey/green
Black/grey/green
You must not get out much.
"it's quite wet outside" - weatherman Cleetus giving us the Professional forecast right there
Cleetus: "that Camaro runs 6s"
John Force: "that's cute."
Kevin’s idea of launching the jet boat off the HumVee has to be your next side project! Imagine the look on people’s face when you pull up to a boat ramp and drive right in.
YES! MAKE IT HAPPEN CLEET!
Foreshadowing!
While the hmmwv is doing an all wheel burnout on a trailer being towed by mullet while his mud truck is doing a sick ass jump in the background?
it works peter griffin did something similar on family guy
I’d love to watch that👍👍
The toy helicopter is some low key foreshadowing.... Garrett is buying an apache gun ship just to blow up the Humvee.
wtf man xD made me pissin myself xD
Dropping that hummer in the pond :)
only if it gets stuck again in another pond
😂😂
Turbine engine swap the Humvee.
That escape from the parallel parking, with the trailer, was the most professional part of this whole video lol.
As many have said, what makes John Force epic is he is approachable. He is real. You can see it. He knows without the fans, he would not be where he is now. Those are the same things that we respect and see in you Cleet. Keep up the good work! Hell yeah brother!
@Clëëtus McFãrlãnd Your crypto spam is not impressive, you should take it somewhere else since no one here will follow you.
I think John Force just blessed the El Camino
“It scares the shit out of me when I go by ‘em.” - John Force 2021
Legendary
haha i watched that 3 times! Dude throwing shade on the turbo cars in front of a group of guys that race turbo cars!
He can throw all the shade he wants. All he has to do is go back into the shop and put the cackle to 11,000 screaming bald eagles hahaha
@@stevelepeak1052 Agreed!! Dude has earned the right to talk crap to anyone at anytime he wants! It was still funny when he talked about blowing by the turbo guys to all the turbo guys! Dude is a legend
That was hilarious
THE LEGEND!! John Force! Damn that’s cool!! He will NEVER forget meeting Cleetus! Every time he looks at his thumb!
John Force is literally the Godfather of going fast, what a blessing to the Elco!!
mmmm maybe the younger brother of the godfathers. Talk faster than he drives and he was the fastest at driving. He made funny car better than top fuel.
I would think John Force would agree, he ain’t The Godfather. That title belongs to “Big Daddy” Don Garlits.
Wow Mullet has officially been anointed by the hand of John Force, unreal. Sixes are definitely coming along here soon.
*spice factor increases*
Hopefully didnt pass along his curse of breakage
John Force quote: They shoot that stuff up in the air huh, scares the $&!# outta me when I go by them. Legend.
That was a subtle but really strong flex, right there! They're noisy, but I go past them anyway. 🤣
@@JerGol a little sneak diss, I like it.
Everytime cleet sees a boat:
"Jetboat?"
New drinking game idea: Take a shot everytime cleet says "jetboat"
or "fire me up"....or when he uses that Hawk screech in place of a Bald Eagle sound.
We would die
"Man sets new record time to get drunk" says he was playing a game he saw in a youtube comment record 36 seconds from sober to drunk🤣
78 seconds to cussing your girlfriend’s mom out.
Better yet, that’s some nice looking grass!
Driving a world class racecar to John Forces garage with Steve Morris in the passenger seat, good gravy man. Love this channel.
That was pretty damn cool
Right! The insane amount of raw drag racing magic in that one building in that one time was off the charts! Hell id even throw Kevin into the mix of race/build talent. You had 2 of the fastest racers alive, 3 of the most legendary racers, the most legendary engine builder alive, multiple master fabricators. Just insane.
I met John Force many years ago. He came up and sat with me and my buddy in the stands. My buddy didn't believe it was John Force so I introduced him and John gave us several autographs and even his special John Force Branded Sharpie. Epic!
The look on Kevin's face in regard to Cleet's new helicopter...said much.
Am I the only one who says “month of freedom” with passion every episode because god bless America?!!! 🇺🇸🦅
You’re not the only one and I’m not even from America!
Lmao
Most impressive thing in this video was cleeter getting out of that parking space with a trailer attached
Especially that shorty trailer, those tend to go wherever they want in reverse.
Amen to this comment!!!
Now if you could get Clay Millican to touch the other turbo.
JET BOAT ON TOP OF THE HUMVEE casually said by the KSR performance.
Cleetus: "Yeah that runs 6s."
John Force: "Lol I run 6s on my way to the bathroom."
(It still blows my mind that they're running 3-4s passes now, regardless of the shortened track).
Just imagine how clean the inside of the cylinders are after ingesting all the water. Talk about your steam clean! Head and valve nice and shiny!
Faster pass maybe? *shrugs* dk...
Lmao
I'll just put this for anyone to see: If You drive in the rain on drag tires, you are gonna have a BAD TIME
Yeah... it’s a smooth surface...
What do smooth surfaces do when it rubs against a wet surface? It absolutely slips... even if it’s a rough wet surface if there’s an enough amount of liquid it ain’t gonna hook...
It’s the reason why Formula 1 cars have “wet” and “dry” tires...
Mullet lowkey looks like bender from fururama when he turned into the WERECAR
I SMOKE WEED TOO!!
@@CANControlGRAFFITI this is an underrated response 👏
@@CANControlGRAFFITI lmao!!!!
We all know the right sticker is worth 50 ponies, but being blessed with the hand, by one of the best ever, is got to be worth an extra 250 championship winning studs.
Growing up and watching drag racing with my Dad, John Force was always our favorite. When he did the post race interviews, you could tell he was running on pure adrenaline. What am awesome experience that was. So effin cool.
One of these days ole Cleeter will realize he is our John Force !
Lol watched Tom Bailey now you but seeing John Force burn his finger was hilarious all those years around hot engines still getcha from time to time
Well he's not a turbo guy lol
@@BabyJesus440 Has absolutely nothing to do with being A turbo guy jackass it’s more about complacency.
@@rich5708 Uhm, was there a need to get riled up there. Just trying to make a funny comment. You need to relax dude
Iove John's comment, "they scare the crap out of me as I go past them". Too funny
I literally say "im about to do a John Force Pro Mod" before I try to deplete the OZONE layer lol.
Big Daddy Don Garlitts and John Force are my NHRA heros, right up there with Dale.
That was cool.
The "secret" for success with Rain-X: Apply when windshield is dry.
Not much of a secret when the instructions specifically say to apply to dry surface for best results lol
yes. I use rainX also, as no wiper(s) installed. yes, works better about 40mph plus
Actually, I have found that starting off dry and then sprinkling a little water when you're polishing it at the end works really well.
@@kleetus92 it says on the back that a little water will help.
RainX, the harder it rains, the faster you go and the darker it is, the better it works! Amazing stuff.
Cletus: These waste-gates throw flames straight up.
John Force: Those things scare the sh!t outa me as I drive by them.
Just a small flex
Im so glad someone else caught this.
Probably the best low key flex ever.
Sometimes the most subtle comments cut deepest! lol Loved it!
The zoomies on a Top Fuel dragster shoot a wall of flame 3 feet in the air even at 300 mph. Those turbos got nothing on them.
I too grew up watching my dad watch john force. It was that love that got me into drag racing. Whenever my dad and I go to a national event I love getting to see the drivers especially John Force, but my favorite part is always how excited my dad is to see him!
Cleeter, you need a sticker next to your fire handle that reads "me up" so when you look at it, it says "FIRE ME UP"
Hey Garrett you just had John force sign your turbo you have an autographed turbo congratulations 😂😂😂😂
Reversing out of that spot at the hotel was pretty impressive lol
Dick in the Escalade. Jet boat? Nah
John Force is an awesome guy. I met him years ago at one of the NHRA Nationals as Lucas Oil Raceway. He took the time to take me back into their garage and show me some of the cool stuff they do behind the scenes. For a kid who was into engineering it was amazing to watch those guys do an engine teardown and rebuild so fast.
That was great Cleetus showing Steve Morris and Tom Bailey the new technology for drag week successful videos and comfort, with the cool/warm shirts and car-to-car communication.
John forces finger print on mullet that is sick..I think that adds way more bold eagles then any stickers
Oh how bold that eagle is
I knew one day we would see John Force on the channel! Man is an absolute LEGEND. Greatest Drag Racer ever!
Not the greatest at judging whether or not to touch things.
@@sideshow45 I mean the man has been on fire half his career... so a little hot backhalf action doesn't phase him.
These ride alongs are AWESOME! Fun, chill, and up close and personal. Nice to mix it up.
Just something about watching y'all do this event, and driving through my neck of the woods makes me so happy. Seeing ya drive through the trees and prairies is awesome. Greetings from small town Ohio, about 2 hours south of Norwalk 🤟🏻
Love how Kevin filmed your 30-point turn around at the hotel
That was pretty impressive!
Waiting for someone else to appreciate how well he did that
Suggestion, fighter jet style "CAUTION: HOT" stickers on the hood where the turbine housings protrude?
Was passing a bunch of you all on 69 north of indy yesterday fun to see all the cars. Actually chatted with David and Tina a little when we were all getting gas, nice people. Wish you all best of luck
Bro John Force is such a legend!!! What an honor it must be to meet him and see his shop!!! Freaking sweet
New video: John force takes a lap in his funny car at FF!
Or..... Cleeter makes a pass in a John Force funny car at Bradenton.. lol
Love how clet still fan boys and gets excited over people he's idolised for years just like we do when we meet him or someone we have idolised for years as well, go to show you he's still one of use and that's why I watch he video
14:18 being humble and having respect is always something I go for it goes a long way nice job man.
@Clëëtus McFãrlãnd Fake Cleetus, your crypto spam is not impressive, you should take it somewhere else since no one here will follow you, only report you as a spammer thief.
Great job building this gem guys, even without a pass its amazing to watch!
John Force has been my favorite guy on the planet since I was a little kid. Absolute legend. I'd of pulled that turbo right there in the parking lot and put it in a display box
That fingerprint is worth at least 100 bald eagles
He’s gotta touch the other one, to even out the eagles
Has anyone mentioned that he should touch the other one to balance it out?
@@taylordial9107 Y'all think he should touch the other one? Just for balance of course.
@@NewkLambesis you know what I was thinking? Perhaps he should touch the other turbo. You know, for symmetry.
I enjoy watching you guys firein’ it up at race week! 🤘🏻
I remember meeting John Force and his family when they sat behind me at the drag strip in Topeka, it was very educational to listen to him and Austin Coil talk about the cars going down the track. That man has never forgot where he came from and is as down to earth as you can get.
Love that 61 Impala at Walt's too.
John Force is a legend... he also has one volume control. On.
That's from breathing that top fuel race exhaust, it really messes with your throat and the noise makes you deaf
@@josephpegram1 yeah, Nitromethane exhaust is a good chunk of Nitric acid I think. Yet big man Force has always been a big personality
The fact john force said "they scare the shit out of me when i go by them" just to say he still wins...Legend
My wife met John Force at a pizza stand late at night while at a National at Norwalk. He was just trying to grab a slice after a long day. Legit one of the nicest humans you will ever meet.
Awesome to see that John force is still humble and cool! I met him a few times at Englishtown and Maple Grove for the NHRA finals when I was younger. I have a shirt that I got him to sign almost every single year
Cletus. "Look at that an old abandoned dirt track."
Maddy "Just, NO."
Freedom Factory North!!!
But babe! 😄
He could let Derek in on it🤔 being that he does quite a bit of dirt racing
I was thinking the same thing.... he needs one of those lol
He could build one at the track he owns. There's enough land available.
one can only PRAY they remembered to add fluid to the diff. guess we'll see tomorrow...lol
First thing that went through my mind when I saw Kevin putting the new one in
I hope so too
Overdrive
I hope they did fill the new diff
I wonder if that set already heat cycled? mine got real hot 1st time of break-in. manufacture recommended
Best of luck to you all, keep the black side down and win some races. Tom, Cleetus, Kevin and Jack Stand James you guys are all awesome!
Love seeing the coverage from both of your perspectives! Hopefully you'll make solid passes tommorrow and get the W.
Cleeter: we got a little water in here
Leroy: what the hell man
Hahahahaaha
Let’s go Cleet and Kevin 👏👍
“ SUMMER OF FREEDOM “ Lets Go👍
Calm down beavis........
I love seeing Steve out there with the racers hands on most people don't know but that's a big secret to why he builds some of the best engines in the world and it's been that way for years very few engines builders can say that!
Seeing Cleet geek out over meeting John Force is epic
I've been following John Force his entire career. The man is a living legend and Austin Coil is a right there next to him.
Once that turbo is worn out, you should give it away. "Touched by John Force"
That's going on the pegboard for it's retirement for sure.
you can still use the ex housing
unless he goes bigger
Housing goes back to John....
John force is my favorite drag racer of all time, dude is a great talker on tv and seeing him in person race is even cooler!
John Force is an awesome man to meet he always makes you feel like yall been friends for years very very awesome man plus hes an Fn legend.
Well Cleetus, the Elco is officially “Forced” induction now!! 😂
Epic lol
Sees any tiny little bit of water
No one:
Cleetus: Looks like a good place to jet boat.
Im waiting for the "Jet Boat In Hotel Swimming Pool (WE GOT BANNED)" video
My family has been in drag racing for a long time. My grandpa Walt Rhoades is in the NHRA hall of fame, my dad tunes for a championship alcohol dragster driven by Chris demke, and I’ve been driving juniors since I’ve been little. It’s so cool to see people meet John force and get excited because I was the exact same way when I was little.
That turbo will run for ever! Touched by John Force. He is the best in the business. May the Force be with you 🤣👍🏁
John Force was actually my neighbor back in Cali. he built his mansion on the top of a hill just down the street. lol. He also held car shows at one of his shops in anaheim hills. Nice guy
Yup, have met him many times & hung out with him at OCIR..... very cool guy
There’s nothing better than watching a Cleetus race week video with that time lapse music playing. #merica 🇺🇸
Yeah John Force is a pretty cool dude met him back in 1992 in Seattle he just a great guy. Love coming along with you guys on your journey totally jealous I have a 1985 El Camino wish I was there Rob from Vancouver Canada
That time-lapse music always brings me back to you guys pouring the burnout pad at the freedom factory. You guys have come a long way through the years!
"UNDER PENALTY OF LAW, THIS TAG SHALL NOT BE REMOVED!"
Two seconds later the cops show up
"Except by consumer"
@@JEBrink yeah but who is going to eat the whole thing just to remove the tag
@@von... now thats freakin funny. Great comeback
🤣
@@JEBrink Everybody always makes this joke, completely ignoring that key part of the tag. I've always been annoyed how people always miss that.
I always wondered how Kevin can be such a perfectionist but be so laid back. After hearing he has 3 daughters, I now understand. Lol
That'll take the edge off anything else in your life lol!!
At 8:24 it had to have been an incredible moment for you to be driving down the freeway door to door the with the car that helped start it all. And to be doing it in your own bad ass hot rod just a few years after it all began. You work your ass off and deserve all the success you get. Much love and respect from Canada eh!!
I can’t get over that time lapse music, every time. I love it
Force sleeps in his racing suit waiting for Ron Capps at any moment. And he apparently isn’t used to the Bald Eagle’s talons.
Month of Freedom! Nothing but some good old Patriotism on here, "Eagle Screech!" Cleetus, thanks for making UA-cam great again!
Love to meet John Force in person, I love that he is still so excited about racing, that even commentators go "hang on" as John is about to be interviewed!
thats some mighty fine maneuvering to get the elco and trailer out of the boxed in park at the hotel - nice work!
