For a chance at getting Leroy's 199mph rated window and window frame head over and grab some merch from now until Friday Nov. 15th: cjracecars.com/collections/apparel-merchandise Thanks for all the support and it was great getting to meet everyone at WCF!
Eagle needs a cover over the spinning area by the trans so the strap cleetus has on his arm to drive Leroy cant get caught up in it. Almost happened on pass 2 of the car at the end of the run.
@CJRaceCars thank you for posting these videos, it's awesome to see the behind the scenes work that goes on with these cars to keep them going rounds that sometimes doesn't make the "Big" videos. The work you guys accomplished and the quick progress made with this car just shows your attention to details and skills of you and your whole team 👏
Cameron, I think Cleete could use a place inside the car to hang the steering wheel after each run. I'm sure he'd appreciate that alot! All in all, you guys killed it on Eagle.!! Well done!!! On Leroy how about putting some adjustable air dam rods on it and just reinforce them? That shouldn't add too much weight.
What's your opinion on Cameron's shirts? Thinking about orderiing 1, I prefer a light weight type fabric...figure being about that titanium life, his shirts would be light too! Thanks for helping Eagle fy Brother!!!!!
The fact that the crew of a competitor helped in the pits with the repairs shows how tight a community the pits at a drag race really are. Absolutely amazing.
Thats drag racing in general for 95% of the teams. There are the few exceptions but even in grudge racing with big money on the line you'll often see the other driver and crew helping their competitor make the race.
@@MidgetPunter Yea, the only time you don't see this as much is like the NHRA pro stuff, and that's just a whole different ball game. Even then, it's not uncommon to hear about crew from one team that's already eliminated jumping in to help another team get their blown up car together to make the finals or whatever though.
still need to account for the fact he had to pay for the shirts and the employee/time that delt with and shipped the orders, then cleets discount. overall still a good show of support.
Frankitup you are spot on, @cjracecars was also 1 of the 1st channels (people) to lay out all the costs involved to build a top caliber NPK, PRO275, NT/PT Grudge or Front Side NP style car, that's safe, fast , and legal. #crrcftw
@@mrnlp21 That's not $30k profit though, they're probably only making 10% total and half of that went to Cleets 'discount'. There isn't a lot of margin in custom merch. That 10% doesn't include storage or staff wages for handling the product either.
So good to see a business minded professional bring it all together even when there is small repairs to be made. Impressive to see the videos too. Your getting much much more comfortable with it👌🏼🤘🏼
@@TheInsaneSheckladorit blows my mind. Big influencers in general are stacking up millions every time a new lot of merch drops. Good on them, wish I was more comfortable behind a camera.
cameron you worked like a champ getting the car done and on site at world cup offering all the help. above and beyond effort, top notch. cjrace cars does the highest quality work.
Yeah, there are some other fabricators posting videos on here. CJRC is heads and tails above what anyone I've saw doing. The fact that Cleet made it as far as he did with a brand new car is very impressive. Once Eagle gets some track/tune days in this car is going to be a monster!! I don't think Cleets dyno can handle this, but I would love to see this car on a dyno capable of handling all that.
For a brand new car with only 7 passes, Im beyond proud of everyone on Garretts team and everyone on Camerons team. Everyone of you from the shop to the track done an amazing job, and for me that's a win!!! Like you said next year will be a diffrent story, and all of you men will be bringing home the World Cup!!!!
@@thannydevitos2332 I'm a sparky and industrial controls tech so I very much appreciate Area 51's skill, different field but the principles are the same. They knocked it out of the park!
The effort Cameron takes to make sure everything’s perfect is impeccable. Stretching the wheel well instead of notching the bottom, replacing the whole rocker instead of straightening it. Everything has to be spot on and it speaks volumes about the business and the employees
The fact that you had very little punch out on a new car speaks volumes about your shop and team. I can say it was a tremendous success. I have a feeling that business is about to be really good
The fact Eagle went rounds is a win. Period. Brand new car, geared for 1000'. Cjrc built something special.. This car is about to hurt some people's feelings in the radial world and I can't wait 💪🤣🤣 now im just looking forward to seeing who you're building that new car for
I'm guessing the expedited build process along with highly complex nature of driveline/suspension geometry made it so. Not too bad to get it in order@@TheInsaneShecklador
@@TheInsaneShecklador In one of the videos, CJ talked about some sort of issue with the billet rear end housing (maybe internals, I don't recall) that was supposed to go in the car, not having enough time to correct that, and ultimately going with a different rear end housing due to the limited time. Perhaps that other rear end housing couldn't use the gear that was meant for the billet rear end or they couldn't get the right gear in time? I'm not sure, maybe someone else can chime in with more details.
Cameron your team, Omars’ team and Cleets’ team all did an incredible job with this car. Watching a brand new car there perform as well as it did is a true achievement. Good job
It's absolutely amazing to roll off the trailer the 0 run Eagle Pro Mod, have Steve Petty supervise suspension and tuning. Then have Cleetus turn in numbers he's never run before! Maryland was the best drag event of 2024 yet! CRC got those 2 cars built and out the door with minutes to spare! Then came McFarlands trademark destructive testing runs and repairs to yield even better results! Good work CRC! 🇺🇸 🏁
Cameron, you and your team created a Masterpiece in building Eagle. The perfection that is put into ever phase of the build is second to none. CJRC killed it!!!!!!!!
Cameron buddy your service you and your Team have done for Cleetus and his team is absolutely next level outstanding. Everyone who have had thier outrageously talented hand in bringing eagle from a simple drawing to what you've achieved with project eagle is just unreal just want to say thanks to everyone involved a massive thank you. I've enjoyed every single step we were able to see. Huge respect and big love. All the way from weston super mare in the UK 💯💯👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏
As a neighbor to Andy McCoy Race Cars and hearing about the amount of testing a race car build gets before competition, your build with basically no real testing is extremely impressive! Their is a fun journey to watch and the light it sheds on these type of race cars and the process is awesome. Keep up the great work!
Cameron and team. All the hard work you've done in the past has presented you with this amazing opportunity, I hope it allows you to fulfill every dream you've had for your company and life. Never look back brother keep on grinding.
This channel is def my best discovery of 2024 and by FAR. It is so interesting and fascinating to see everything your team does. Truly a team of artists and craftsmen. I fucking love these, keep em coming.
I don’t think anyone could’ve expected more from you and your team. You do it right and it shows. Great car great job. I came here for Eagle but will stay to see what’s next. I have enjoyed watching you all work together such a talented team. Thanks for bringing us along. See you in the next one. I’m a fan.
I'm a huge fan of CGRC, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. It is amazing that the key for me are the people or craftsman and getting to know them on the channel. Thank you.
Hell yeah Cameron. We knew exactly how this build was going to go. Glad you got to show the internet what happens with a build that is, well planned, fully funded, and not constantly changed. You set one deadline and nailed it. All I want to know is, who calculated the rear gear lol. That car will go 260+mph. Should be geared to at least 270. I haven't been keeping track but maybe even faster.
I think your raw real energy you bring and you not trying to put on a show like most UA-camrs just that alone will lead you far brother much luck on the journey love what you do !
This journey has been a lot of fun to watch. To break in a new car at a major event and get to see all the bumps, freckles, and warts of that process was truly awesome. Something about showing things go wrong and how smart competent people handle situations is real deal entertainment. Appreciate your content through this whole process. You and your crew are an amazing unit and your product is second to none. God bless you all.
Eagle doing so well with so few runs is incredible, you guys did a fantastic job! It was a bit of a pity how the weekend turned out but you’ll all come back stronger next year and I’m pretty sure we’ll all be here to watch the journey 👍🏻
I love that you employ the older guys that know a lot of stuff. As a slightly older guy who has lost some of his sight, I’m glad to see that people like me are appreciated for their skills. Love you guys keep up the good work, and make Clete as fast as hell.
What all of this is doing for the drag, racing community, getting people into racing as fans, spectators, fabricators, mechanics, etc.. all of it just makes me SOOOO freaking happy - seeing this channel, Steve Morris, Cleetus and really keeping the stuff alive and growing is just incredible!! The exposure to pro modified, NHRA, drag and drive, different motor types fabrication.. I could go on and on and son of a BITCH do you guys do INCREDIBLE work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cameron, you're right, Cleetus has an excitement and passion for racing that is infectious, you can see it in his team as well. Eagle is definitely just getting started and I for one can't wait to see that car reach it's full potential. Great job on the build!!!
You guys are 100% the best shop to see anyone work with, I had never honestly heard of you guys before Cleetus SADLY but I’m so excited to watch your guys projects going forward and to see how well you guys work with your customers is awesome!
I love the transparency with this project, seeing the good, the bad etc, from the very beginning is awesome. No one airs their shakedown runs with a car of this caliber, it's wild to see!
I dont know how long you have been in the business, but a new car going down the track almost everytime with only little issue's and running 5's on the 7th run is flat out amazing.
Brother absolutely enjoyed watching that car come out. Between Swanstrom 69 and Cleetus you and your guys hit a homeroom, good ole Cleetus had a smile all weekend. Your crew in shop are some talented guys. New car hiccups will be gone soon. thank you for taking us along for the ride.
You guys at CJRC are a class act. Seriously. Humble, capable, and just overall decent people. And I really dig the merch. The graphics dept is killin’ it. Gonna grab a hoodie for this winter. Not sure what one yet.
Can't imagine another shop making this build as cool as you did with Eagle. Absolutely top shelf. You crushed it keeping all the moving parts of this project on schedule Cameron. Congrats!! You had mentioned you wanted the frontend lower. Might you address this as well? The future for Eagle is bright.
@CJRaceCars thank you for posting these videos, it's awesome to see the behind the scenes work that goes on with these cars to keep them going rounds that sometimes doesn't make the "Big" videos. The work you guys accomplished and the quick progress made with this car just shows your attention to details and skills of you and your whole team 👏
CJ you really killed it this car not only looks amazing but works even better a big turns UP to you and your team and I mean everybody that work on Eagle I love it.
You guys did wonderful can't wait until you guys get all the bugs worked out of Leroy and eagle so Cleetus can when some races and championships hell yeah brother👍👍😎🇺🇸🦅
I'm only here cuz of cleetus but I think imma stick around cuz you and your team seem like an amazing bunch of dudes! The cars you build are amazing and glad we get to experience this with you and cleetus! Much love ❤
You guys are serious about this! You guys showed up and got it done, and what a beautiful car! Keep it up. This is Cleetus at a level never seen before. Your team alongside Cleet's team was something to be proud of. Keep kicking ass!
It was cool to see Cleet grow, and with the team doing all they can do, there is only so much time for all the details among the 4/5 of them. Thank Dale that his most spectacular cars are now in such good professional hands
Cleetus was so lucky to have you and some of your team, the tuner and his boys at World Cup. To say that 3 cars is a little ambitious is vastly understating the effort given your resources.
❤ it was really great meeting you Sunday morning before Eagle went out. As a chassis builder myself I gotta tell ya, it’s so nerve wrecking having to watch your hard work pay off without any real problems and to set PB’s for Cleetus Dam Fine Work my guy!!! Great job! Ps. I built 1/4 midgets for kids all over the country aging from 5 to 16. Safety, Safety and Safety was my #1 priority bc not just my kids were in them but your kids too.💪🏼 Hats off bro!!!
Growing pains! I have ZERO doubt next years and the events in between are going to be a massively different result and I cannot wait to see you guys break records!
Congrats to you and your crew Cameron, huge effort by all involved in the creation of this outstanding car. Your customer service and focus show thru in the outstanding quality of your product. Prospective customers should look at these series of videos if they have any second thoughts about your shop and team.
This car is and will be a major contributor to the sport. Best World Cup I have watched and everyone wanted this car for clickbait. Great effort and great channel,
Well done guys.. Truly, you all pulled off the “Practicality” impossible.. Got Eagle into the 5s !!! Insane In itself.! And Both Star Creations and Yourselves, absolutely knocked Leroy out of the park..! There is no question you guys are going to also build one hell of a massive channel on top of everything else.. Happy Dayz 🇮🇪🦅🇺🇸🍀
All companies have problems here and there, you just cant stop that but how a company handles those issues says a lot about them. Not only is your guys work second to non but you guys flat stand by your work and that say even more. CJ Race Cars for the win
One thing I noticed while watching cleetus’s video. When he puts his deployed chutes in the car after a race it looks like it could get sucked into the driveline through the crack in the tunnel behind the trans. It maybe fine just something I observed. Yall built a kick ass car and kudos to you and the team!
Having gone through the new car blues (aka finding all your design flaws etc, I am impressed with how few problems Eagle has had at its one test session and World Cup. Major props to you for sectioning the wheel opening instead of the more commonly done option of trimming to fit and looking fugley. On LeRoys body have you given any consideration of doing a traditional Funny Car front body latch instead of Dzus fasteners.
You guys did a killer job with this car! Super happy for CJRC as a whole knowing what Cleetus does for racing and racing business as a whole I hope your brand grows even more than it has
y'all build bad ass stuff and I'm looking forward not just to Eagle and Leroy updates but the other projects y'all have cooking... been following since you built Swanstrom's car and it's awesome to see how these builds come together
i can't imagine to be able to afford a race car like you do.. you guys have put yourself on the map with Cleets stuff.. its insane how good you guys are
You guys built a badass hotrod, all these little things are nothing more than growing pains and after seeing y’all’s work and hustle, I know it’ll be 100% next outting!
Hopefully you guys can find a 1/4 rear gear. Looks like you have the 1/8 mile gear. That car did really good for its first shakedown race. CJ Race cars did an awesome job building the car and also going out to the race to make sure it did what you wanted it to do.✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍
The fact that Eagle made a 5 second rip, at a major event with almost zero testing, with multiple builds having timeframes that were really ambitious -- is crazy. You guys are crushing it. Hopefully yall get some good R&R soon. You guys deserve it. Well done.
For Leroy please paint the inside of the body with fireproof paint ,actually Intumescent paint , it will not burn or put out toxic fumes , it's used in the marine industry and made for fiberglass and epoxy . It even comes in grey
You guys are really something to work with. Amazing! Get that bumper a little lower! They lost a race cuz the line missed it there. Bottom 1/4 panel not squared? Terrible! Track repair? On a “Cleetermobile?” A racing way of life with Cleeter, Cam. Your working to hard buddy. Can you be prepared to say “enough”is enough. When it’s truly enough. You’ll never get a car Cleeter drives to not break. He’s a master and at this point you’re going to go broke.
Unreal , a whole new quarter panel , and then paint redo . ZERO corners cut on this build and upkeep of it 👏👌. I hope we see Eagle more than 2-3 times a race season
You're a stand up guy. You didn't have to share the merch numbers but you did. You guys are doing awesome work on the channel, can't wait to see it grow.
Y'all built a sweet rocket 🚀 guys! One thing from a safety standpoint I noticed from Cleets dash cam is the open tail shaft spinning at buzzsaw RPM and the possibility of him getting his suit arm straps spun into it and, well let's not think about the horror! Can y'all put a hinged panel to prevent anything falling in there please?👍 I know safety is your number one aim, and y'all have a bit on your plate, but can you please give it a thought?👍 Thanks guys!

Thanks for all the support and it was great getting to meet everyone at WCF!
Eagle needs a cover over the spinning area by the trans so the strap cleetus has on his arm to drive Leroy cant get caught up in it. Almost happened on pass 2 of the car at the end of the run.
Leroy needs bigger turbos
@CJRaceCars thank you for posting these videos, it's awesome to see the behind the scenes work that goes on with these cars to keep them going rounds that sometimes doesn't make the "Big" videos. The work you guys accomplished and the quick progress made with this car just shows your attention to details and skills of you and your whole team 👏
I seen you there. You looked like a giant ball of nerves😂. I get it though!
Outstanding job from all involved building Eagle, Hope you all got some rest and look forward to more great content.
Cameron, I think Cleete could use a place inside the car to hang the steering wheel after each run. I'm sure he'd appreciate that alot! All in all, you guys killed it on Eagle.!! Well done!!!
On Leroy how about putting some adjustable air dam rods on it and just reinforce them? That shouldn't add too much weight.
We are adding a hook while it’s here also
For sure. You can see after most race he reached up top and realize there wasn't any hook and was looking for somewhere to place the wheel.
Some drivers don't like to hang the steering wheel up. Its all kind of preference.
@@CJRaceCarshow about a spot for the ball cap while you’re at it.
Most seem to though..
Awesome , my 2 shirts paid for 0.0001% of Eagle. LETS GO !!!!
That percentage was probably what made it go 5s , that's all you buddy congrats 😂❤
@gavinsixnine lol hell yeah brother 😂
What's your opinion on Cameron's shirts? Thinking about orderiing 1, I prefer a light weight type fabric...figure being about that titanium life, his shirts would be light too! Thanks for helping Eagle fy Brother!!!!!
I can see the bolt you paid for brother!! Good job 👏
I was thinking like awesome we helped pay for like 200 bolts 😂
MATE. It's not much. I can't afford murch etc. but this is for all you guys being awesome
people like you make me happy, cheers mate!
Just matched your 10. 😎
On ya bro. Legend
Hell yeah brother!!!

No real racer wants competition to go out any way but on the track.
Even circle track is the same way. I was good buddies with the guy I was always going back and forth 1 and 2 with
And then you have the poverty racers burning people down what a shame …
I can appreciate the transparency with the sales, it's always cool to know some real numbers

Brother absolutely enjoyed watching that car come out. Between Swanstrom 69 and Cleetus you and your guys hit a homeroom, good ole Cleetus had a smile all weekend. Your crew in shop are some talented guys. New car hiccups will be gone soon. thank you for taking us along for the ride.
You guys at CJRC are a class act. Seriously. Humble, capable, and just overall decent people. And I really dig the merch. The graphics dept is killin’ it. Gonna grab a hoodie for this winter. Not sure what one yet.
Can't imagine another shop making this build as cool as you did with Eagle. Absolutely top shelf. You crushed it keeping all the moving parts of this project on schedule Cameron. Congrats!! You had mentioned you wanted the frontend lower. Might you address this as well? The future for Eagle is bright.
@CJRaceCars thank you for posting these videos, it's awesome to see the behind the scenes work that goes on with these cars to keep them going rounds that sometimes doesn't make the "Big" videos. The work you guys accomplished and the quick progress made with this car just shows your attention to details and skills of you and your whole team 👏
CJ you really killed it this car not only looks amazing but works even better a big turns UP to you and your team and I mean everybody that work on Eagle I love it.
Great job to everyone at cjrc and everyone that helped at World Cup, best outcome possible other than a win considering the time crunch!
Dudes love the honesty, the hard work, hearing about what you did right and wrong. How to improve. Just exceptional dudes doing good work! 😎🤙🏻
You guys did wonderful can't wait until you guys get all the bugs worked out of Leroy and eagle so Cleetus can when some races and championships hell yeah brother👍👍😎🇺🇸🦅
You guys did an Awesome job on the car. I think you could call Eagle a success even with the minor issues. Great Job!!!
I'm only here cuz of cleetus but I think imma stick around cuz you and your team seem like an amazing bunch of dudes! The cars you build are amazing and glad we get to experience this with you and cleetus! Much love ❤
You guys are serious about this! You guys showed up and got it done, and what a beautiful car! Keep it up. This is Cleetus at a level never seen before. Your team alongside Cleet's team was something to be proud of. Keep kicking ass!
Man that was a great first outing with Eagle! I was just watching guys who've had their cars for years running .5 slower. Amazing work guys!
It was cool to see Cleet grow, and with the team doing all they can do, there is only so much time for all the details among the 4/5 of them.
Thank Dale that his most spectacular cars are now in such good professional hands
Cleetus was so lucky to have you and some of your team, the tuner and his boys at World Cup. To say that 3 cars is a little ambitious is vastly understating the effort given your resources.
❤ it was really great meeting you Sunday morning before Eagle went out. As a chassis builder myself I gotta tell ya, it’s so nerve wrecking having to watch your hard work pay off without any real problems and to set PB’s for Cleetus
Dam Fine Work my guy!!! Great job!
Ps. I built 1/4 midgets for kids all over the country aging from 5 to 16.
Safety, Safety and Safety was my #1 priority bc not just my kids were in them but your kids too.💪🏼
Hats off bro!!!
Growing pains! I have ZERO doubt next years and the events in between are going to be a massively different result and I cannot wait to see you guys break records!
Congrats to you and your crew Cameron, huge effort by all involved in the creation of this outstanding car. Your customer service and focus show thru in the outstanding quality of your product. Prospective customers should look at these series of videos if they have any second thoughts about your shop and team.
You are so good at this Cameron. And your team is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
This car is and will be a major contributor to the sport.
Best World Cup I have watched and everyone wanted this car for clickbait. Great effort and great channel,
Hats off Young Man. Talent on display
Well done guys.. Truly, you all pulled off the “Practicality” impossible.. Got Eagle into the 5s !!! Insane In itself.! And Both Star Creations and Yourselves, absolutely knocked Leroy out of the park..! There is no question you guys are going to also build one hell of a massive channel on top of everything else.. Happy Dayz 🇮🇪🦅🇺🇸🍀
All companies have problems here and there, you just cant stop that but how a company handles those issues says a lot about them. Not only is your guys work second to non but you guys flat stand by your work and that say even more. CJ Race Cars for the win
One thing I noticed while watching cleetus’s video. When he puts his deployed chutes in the car after a race it looks like it could get sucked into the driveline through the crack in the tunnel behind the trans. It maybe fine just something I observed. Yall built a kick ass car and kudos to you and the team!
Great Job, we enjoyed catching the videos of you all at WCF . Great Testing weekend ...
Nice update. Your customer service is second to none. It's good to get a break from all the crazy on the national news.
Having gone through the new car blues (aka finding all your design flaws etc, I am impressed with how few problems Eagle has had at its one test session and World Cup. Major props to you for sectioning the wheel opening instead of the more commonly done option of trimming to fit and looking fugley.
On LeRoys body have you given any consideration of doing a traditional Funny Car front body latch instead of Dzus fasteners.
Saw Eagle in person at World Cup - You and your crew build a hell of a machine man!
You guys did a killer job with this car! Super happy for CJRC as a whole knowing what Cleetus does for racing and racing business as a whole I hope your brand grows even more than it has
Ya’ll still did an amazing job on that car man. It did it’s job and did it well with almost no testing, that’s saying something 👍🏻
y'all build bad ass stuff and I'm looking forward not just to Eagle and Leroy updates but the other projects y'all have cooking... been following since you built Swanstrom's car and it's awesome to see how these builds come together
i can't imagine to be able to afford a race car like you do.. you guys have put yourself on the map with Cleets stuff.. its insane how good you guys are
Solid stand by your work and craftsmanship is awesome love how you work with that! 😊
Fantastic honest and open content you guys did amazing with the time constraints you had
Such an amazing build guys. To only have that short list of fixes after working to the last min to get Eagle done, that’s pretty damn impressive
Awesome getting to see you guys enjoy the spoils of war at the track!!! Yeah it's still work but at least the view is better!
Don't forget the 4.30 for the rearend!
You guys did a bad ass job on eagle and on Leroy body and door. So cool looking with the body up after the burn outs top notch work you guys do
7:35 that thing is low low and it looks so good
You guys built a badass hotrod, all these little things are nothing more than growing pains and after seeing y’all’s work and hustle, I know it’ll be 100% next outting!
Sounds like a good shakedown with a solid list of improvements!
Cleets cars are in good hands with your team.
U guys are amazing. I've been here since Justin's build love what you and the team do and can't wait to see what the future holds
Hopefully you guys can find a 1/4 rear gear. Looks like you have the 1/8 mile gear. That car did really good for its first shakedown race. CJ Race cars did an awesome job building the car and also going out to the race to make sure it did what you wanted it to do.✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍
I dont think you could ask for a better crew then what you have here. love to see it respect to everyone at CJ race cars
The fact that Eagle made a 5 second rip, at a major event with almost zero testing, with multiple builds having timeframes that were really ambitious -- is crazy. You guys are crushing it. Hopefully yall get some good R&R soon. You guys deserve it. Well done.
For Leroy please paint the inside of the body with fireproof paint ,actually Intumescent paint , it will not burn or put out toxic fumes , it's used in the marine industry and made for fiberglass and epoxy . It even comes in grey
You guys are really something to work with. Amazing! Get that bumper a little lower! They lost a race cuz the line missed it there. Bottom 1/4 panel not squared? Terrible! Track repair? On a “Cleetermobile?” A racing way of life with Cleeter, Cam. Your working to hard buddy. Can you be prepared to say “enough”is enough. When it’s truly enough. You’ll never get a car Cleeter drives to not break. He’s a master and at this point you’re going to go broke.
Unreal , a whole new quarter panel , and then paint redo . ZERO corners cut on this build and upkeep of it 👏👌. I hope we see Eagle more than 2-3 times a race season
You're a stand up guy. You didn't have to share the merch numbers but you did. You guys are doing awesome work on the channel, can't wait to see it grow.
You have a great team behind you and your videos are great as well. Thank you
Y'all built a sweet rocket 🚀 guys!
One thing from a safety standpoint I noticed from Cleets dash cam is the open tail shaft spinning at buzzsaw RPM and the possibility of him getting his suit arm straps spun into it and, well let's not think about the horror!
Can y'all put a hinged panel to prevent anything falling in there please?👍
I know safety is your number one aim, and y'all have a bit on your plate, but can you please give it a thought?👍
Thanks guys!
You guys ROCK!!! Thanks for the content!!! Keep em rolling boys!
Amazing video and a absolute pleasure listening to you discuss Eagle and the plan’s for it
