Not gonna lie when cletus and james had that moment when he came back in the pits, after clet made his fastest pass ever.... I felt that. Congrats boys
It's awesome Cleetus gives him the praise he deserves cuz he put in a ton of work into that car and not just in this latest turbo setup. Working in that shop by himself probably most the time. And building his own car probably after hours or whenever he had spare time. It's always cool to see someone's hard work paid off. Hopefully they don't break for awhile and they can just have fun with them!
Seeing people their age so desperate to give credit where it's due gives me hope, that's for sure. I love how all their friends are also really good people - PFI, Boosted, Adam, Taylor, obviously Jeremy/Laz/George... it's a long list that WOULD include Vaughn Gittin Jnr if I wasn't the teenist bit scared of the Lawn Care Nut 😂
@@GeoffInfield lmao lawn care nut 😂 but yeah they are a solid group of genuine dudes, I think that’s why this is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam. I get a tad bit depressed when I mix up my days and there is no content lol.
The connection cleet and James have with this audience is incredible. Seeing everyone’s comments about how happy they are for you guys is genuinely heartwarming. Keep up the good work y’all!
Watching you an James celebrate when you pulled up after the pass an he wqs leaning in the car litteraly brought a tear to my eye! So happy for you guys keep up the good work!
I agree i felt like I was there with yall I was fist pumping and laughing smiling ear to ear that was sick boys what a journey and what pass...!!! Wow just wow
First glimpse of Ruby at auction house parking lot: Cleetus says: "Oh no! This thing has a piece of crap truck motor." James replies: "Hang on. This thing might have potential." 900 million upgrades later Cleetus says: "That was the fastest pass of my LIFE!" Well done gentlemen. You earned every millisecond.
@@ethan.brossart3634 has that not happened with half their cars. they need to get cooper back for their next nitrous pull, they need his wet shot skills.
well compared to the engine that was supposed to be in it, it was a piece of crap. i dont know why they ever even cared. they drop TS crates in literally everything. not that thats a bad thing but had it had the LS in it, they wouldve did something to the engine, and it would still have the same engine it has now.
@@HotDogBunN2YG Yeah, what they did with Neighbor was interesting, pulling a motor out of that wrecked GT500, but now it's got some crate motor in it, cause they got excited with nitrous. They're focusing more now on their fastest cars, which all have the 427 cause it makes a ton of power and is easy enough to install. They handmade the turbo kit and did everything else with the car, it's not like they didn't build the car cause they put a 427 in it.
Yes please, you’re content is some of the best on UA-cam. It’s great too see ole Cleet starting drifting, however it’d be better to see ole T Ray runs some drags
I’m not crying, you’re crying.... You ever feel like family SO much, that you get so hyped an emotional over such a crazy feat?! THIS is why this is my favorite channel.
I don't care what anybody says cleet is so damn humble and 100% about his people, the way he told James that he was the reason for the success is just another example of it to me. He always gives his people so much credit and its awesome to watch.
Underrated coment! My eyeballs were 'sweating' profusely also (possible man tears) maybe they're turbo-tears? 😂😭😁 It's just so good seeing these boys get up 🤙
Congrats for sure, but it was Kevin who set up up the car so it would run straight and he tuned it as well. James is one HELL of a mechanic indeed. Way to go!
@@LextechLighting Makes sense, but Kevin got it to hook up by tuning the suspension. So, he deserves credit for that big time. You can have all the power in the world, but if it doesnt hook up, you got nothing.

Gardeners' Farmacy No, no... he’s happy with where he’s at... we all know they can go much further! Got to enjoy your wins, as these guys do, but victory is fleeting, and there is always the next challenge
The journey of Ruby the Auction Corvette, from her humble beginning with that iron block truck engine to becoming a seven-second car is the kind of thing we need in these times.
Still got it - hard to drink coffee through a grin :) The last time I got warm fuzzies like this was watching the video of Tom McGilton cracking 200mph in the Tominator at Rocky Mountain Race Week while spreading a fellow drag racer's ashes from his chute, it was like she gave him a push. James and Cleetus have so much respect for each other don't they? Can't get enough of watching them giving each other all the credit they deserve :) They clearly have three seven second cars between them. Sevens are hard.
Listening to the excitement in Cleets voice as he was driving back and his first words to James are "It was all you.". Y'all I got a few tears in my bartleskeet that was so perfect.
and it's probably just because of the fact that Ruby is more aerodynamic than Leeroy. It's time to make some sort of custom body for him to see what he can really do.
@@nyastclair8174 Eeeeh, not aerodynamics. It's the 1/8th mile that Leroy reeaaallly needs to make up. Ruby and Leroy are trapping nearly the same at the 1/4 but while Ruby's running low 5's and even a 4.9 in the 1/8, Leroy's running around 5.40, 5.30
Coopers Camaro runs as angry as it sounds. You knew it was going to fly down the track when it was lifting itself off the dyno earlier in the week. That Camaro is badass
The amount of stoked that you are for James having built Ruby after you just ran the fastest pass of your life, is the stuff friendship is made of! Always enjoy the content!
You started to pull James through the passenger window and all that went through my head was Talladega nights. "Your my best friend! I love you!! I'm in there with you!" Y'all are definitely brothers. Don't split. We all love coop but damn. Y'all two make it!!! Much love to everyone Congratulations brother!
You’ve got the right man in jack stand Jimmy. That was awesome, it’s been a great journey we’re all so blessed to have been able to share it all with you guys. Head for a 6 now 😁
At the end of the day, he's right, all that hard work paid off, and his boy that helped him build his dream cars is just as responsible for this success as he is. That is true friendship and commitment from the whole team at the shop. Congrats, guys. You did it.
@@kidwave1 are you stupid?!! James had his car there and let Garrett have the first pass with the car. They said Garrett would go first the James will step in at the last and WZ
I go back to this video once in a while, I always get so happy when I see Ruby. Pretty crazy that this was your fastest pass, if you look at the fleet now.😅
@@raptor660jarhead I'm suprised he just didnt go with the 9 inch thats what I rann my mud truck before I switched to tractor tires now I run rockwells but the 9 still probably would have held up
I’d never thought I’d see the day. This marks the day that a car in the Cleetus fleet went faster then Leroy. I think ruby is the top dog now. Hell yeah brother.
@Richard Harrold Also not really sure what you mean cause there are powerglide cars that run well over 200mph in the quarter. Ruby's issue is just with the final drive gearing
No lie there was a hint of a wheelie on that pass by Ruby! She launched like a bat out of hell! It has been an awesome journey seeing Ruby go from a auction junker to 7 second pass! Awesome work Cleet, James and the crew!
Next to frantic calls to TSP, others frantic calls to the FF lawn doctor, Allyn Hane, will also be frequent as well, it seems. (I've got that type of grass in my front yard in SWFL, it can repair itself fairly well in time too)
Dude, “Jack Stand Jimmy” is a savage! I remember when James came to the channel and I was like..... Who da heck this guy???? I’m glad #James_Taal joined the channel!!! Yaayee
As much as I love Leroy and all the other cars, I started watching when Ruby first got bought. This is such an amazing moment, James and Cleet have built such a solid ripper, Kevin also needs some credit on the old girl.
Two different animals. Anyone that can peddle a stick car to a 7.80 has my respect. You could stick any decent driver in Ruby and run 7s. It takes a very special person to push Leroy into the sevens. Just watch some Leroy video. If you think that's an easy ride...
Ruby's first launch was insane. I've never seen it hook like that. Zero tire spin, all go. Sick as hell, love the passion you all put into this and bringing us along for the ride.
I’m so glad cleetus started liking drag racing again. I get that some people like the variety of content, but for me, it’s just the drag racing and the old shop/build days that do it for me
I don't think he ever quit liking it. There just hasn't been many events this year. He did 2 drag weeks, tested ruby as many times as he could. Now this event and cleetus and cars coming up soon think we'll see racing pick back up if places start allowing events. And i agree that i miss the days when they worked on the cars together in the shop. It's just on to bigger and better things I guess pulling Cleet out of the shop. Maybe he'll build a shop at the freedom factory for James to work out of and they'll spend more time working together.
I agree, drifting just leaves me cold - I find it difficult to be behind him because it's not really something you can "win" like you can drag. But hey it's his channel and he can do what he likes.
Leroy has been faster but it won't be long. It wouldn't be that hard to have Leroy go faster if they put the same amount of work in to him as they did Ruby.
@@OxBlitzkriegxO I'm just making a general comment about how Ruby has always ran like a car that hooks well with a powerglide. But Leroy obviously was trapping much higher mph. On RMRR, Ruby is out in front, but leroy hunts it down on the big end. But now, Ruby is trapping a similar speed as Leroy with the new turbo... so Leroy won't be catching up to Ruby on the big end anymore.
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 Exactly, in fact Leroy had made a 184.75 mph pass (8.02) recently day 5 at RMRW 2.0, and at World cup 2019 where he ran a 7.791 @ 186.43 in another. I think Leroy quickest is that 7.79 though, but has laid down many passes at or beyond 185 mph.
anyone that knows even a small bit about drag racing and cars knew it would happen. it only took this long so he could rake in all the views from stretching it out with a bunch of stock engines and different set ups.
@@n2vxc Define Recently.... because James has been running ruby for about 6 months now, also James is the house mechanic, not Cleetus, not that he cant work on stuff , but James is the one doing most of the work and probably the ideas for Ruby... if you disagree, you have NOT been watching this channel. Why do you think Cleetus is giving James so much credit after that pass?
James the mad scientist put together that Frankenstein’s monster nightmare beat to death used up Corvette into a 7 second car! Good job! I’m predicting 7.30s very shortly
@Richard Harrold Wouldn’t need a transmission. Some slightly taller diff gears and more boost and Ruby would be into the low 7s on the current set up. She runs out of gearing at the end of the run.
@@unclehulka13 To me, the usual cast of characters are on the same team really. Like the Boostedboiz. They're all like a crew that roll together and support one another. I mean, Cleet isn't with 1320video anymore but 1320 supports him all the way, and gave him his start. There's still a lot of teamwork among them all even if they aren't all on the same payroll.
I seriously felt myself tear up. First time a you tube video made me do that. The work, dedication, and pure joy that goes into these cars is transcendent of typical motorsports. Although it may never happen, I just want to shake both your hands and say thank you. So thankful you allow me to be a part of your life!
ive seen yall boys come such a long ways, been watching since before leroy was even purchased, i couldnt be more proud. congrats to all yall and cooper for piloting his new build to 8 seconds super impressive, jackstand jimmy ole cleeter and cooper all know how to steer a racecar on down the track thats for sure
@@kidwave1 He even asked for permission. And James had his own car out that he wanted to focus on. Think of that: your boss is asking you if he can use the vehicle you built with his money.
@@beratsbuilds Yea, i guess you're right. Thanks for straightening me out. I had just been watching him drive Ruby more and more, and was hoping he would be driving her for the first 7 second pass, which Im pretty sure would've been HIS first 7 second pass too.
I felt the freedom straight through my headset. (in the echoey announcer voice) Hell Yeah BROTHER!! This brought a smile to my face. Seeing all the work you guys put in over the years to make Ruby such a competitor, now it is straight up legendary.
Agreed, love to see James' car brought into the fold, even if Cleet doesn't likely own it. Might make for tricky youtube video though given the competitive nature of the class.
I can't lie boys, I get a little bit misty eyed when you guys succeed like this. And our girl Ruby finally got that 7! Hell Yeah Brother! Good job Cleet and Jackstand! Now I think it's time our boy Leroy gets into the 6's. 🤘🤘
You've got it ass backwards: It will be RUBY, that works its way into the 6's, as Leroy struggles just to continue breaking into the 7's. With the properly matched turbo, Ruby beat Leroy's best on the very first pass. I knew this was going to happen back when they first bought that built powerglide for Ruby. You honestly believe a stick shift is going to go faster than a good automatic? No way man. Not to mention Ruby has a distinct aero advantage over Leroy as well.
@@entrepreneurhomeboy I knew that Ruby would eventually take Leroy. And I couldn't be prouder! All I'm saying is that Leroy is the car that got this channel the recognition it has now. Obviously Cleet, James and Cooper had a hand in it as well. But personally, I can't wait to see Leroy back in the limelight. It's my favorite car in the fleet and I can't wait for more content on him. Just my opinion man. It doesn't mean I've got it ass backwards. ✌
When Cleet is driving back from the 1st pass and is so excited about going the fastest he's ever been, just hearing his overwhelming happiness, made me wanna cry joy for him. Love ya brother
Cleet not long ago: ruby isn't the all out race car just a junkyard build. Cleet now after half a dozen engines: "I've never gone that fast in my life!"
Perry Tilton then he changed his mind and wrote a comment on his video saying he’s spark is back, and is going to get some bigger turbos for Leroy and push him deeper into the 7s
@@fuckngreat8955 In drag racing people race for target times to make it interesting. They refer to Leroy as an "Eight-Oh bracket car" because it runs really close to 8.00 consistently. To win the bracket, you beat your opponents without going faster than 8.00. Most people race in classes like 10.00 10.50 11.00 etc. A "no time" car is fucking fast, so fast that there aren't enough people to do brackets consistently. Instead these guys usually race straight up for big money and therefore hide their numbers.
That Fiat a lot of no time race classes require no times to be posted on the set up for 2 years or so. Let’s these guys compete at events and still grudge race.
Yeeeeeyee!!! Ruby you absolute unit, finally got not just a 7 second pass but went 7.74! That’s going down in the history books as the most legendary moment since ole Leroy ran his first 7 second pass. I won’t be forgetting this for a very long time.
Its kinda strange how you can be so proud of someone u never met before.
Truth. I literally clapped...in my office...in Texas
Isn't it. Like, they have no idea who we are, what we look like, or what we do. And most of us could pick them out of a crowd in a heart beat.

Yeah, I totally understand that. I am right there with yall.
True when I saw the 7.7 I yelled “fuckin a brother good job!”

Tear fuel, absolute Tear Factory. Naw bruh, I ain't cryin, just really really happy
love the dedicated post, but now you've spoiled the video😱, maybe put a Spoiler warning? hehe all good though
Facts.
It's awesome Cleetus gives him the praise he deserves cuz he put in a ton of work into that car and not just in this latest turbo setup. Working in that shop by himself probably most the time. And building his own car probably after hours or whenever he had spare time. It's always cool to see someone's hard work paid off. Hopefully they don't break for awhile and they can just have fun with them!

You started to pull James through the passenger window and all that went through my head was Talladega nights. "Your my best friend! I love you!! I'm in there with you!" Y'all are definitely brothers. Don't split. We all love coop but damn. Y'all two make it!!! Much love to everyone
Congratulations brother!
Idk, coop just didn’t seem like he had thrown his heart into Cleetus channel the way James and Garrett do.
You’ve got the right man in jack stand Jimmy. That was awesome, it’s been a great journey we’re all so blessed to have been able to share it all with you guys. Head for a 6 now 😁
At the end of the day, he's right, all that hard work paid off, and his boy that helped him build his dream cars is just as responsible for this success as he is. That is true friendship and commitment from the whole team at the shop. Congrats, guys. You did it.
Dude was pretty selfish not to let James make that first 7 second pass! Thats what we wanted, what a jerk.
@@kidwave1 not really, but okay
@@brodiehare2147 trolling, he is doing it on every post.
@@kidwave1 are you stupid?!!
James had his car there and let Garrett have the first pass with the car. They said Garrett would go first the James will step in at the last and

I remember when ruby was sitting in the shop and the previous owner was telling them it was struck by lightning. Time flies and so does ruby!
I'm 70 yrs old, Muscle car maniac when I was young. At the dragstrip every weekend. Watched this video with a huge smile on my face. Congrats.
Kudos sir! You actually lived through and experienced the golden era of drag racing. And it's great to see the spirit never dies.
I go back to this video once in a while, I always get so happy when I see Ruby. Pretty crazy that this was your fastest pass, if you look at the fleet now.😅
Jackstand Jimmy got the JDM game figured out:
- Put a LS in it
- Put a solid ford axle in it
- Put a Powerglide in it and send it to the moon
🤣🤣👍👍
😂 the new Elon musk
that ford 8.8 is still a semi floated axle. Its not where near as strong as a ford 9 inch
@@raptor660jarhead I'm suprised he just didnt go with the 9 inch thats what I rann my mud truck before I switched to tractor tires now I run rockwells but the 9 still probably would have held up
If you and James had a podcast, I’d listen every day. It’s always fun hearing you guys shooting the shit with each other
This is like a podcast, just with video 😂
Cleetus does have a podcast. The Wheelmans podcast
Why not LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE
*opens youtube*
cleetus 60 seconds ago.
"hell yeah brother"
*edit*
that 7.74 launch even took the breath out of me sitting here lol
That launch was like 20gs at least
@@andrewkelly3702 Top Fuel barely hits 8 Gs on launch. that's a 0.855s 60-ft. 1.19s 60-ft is ~2Gs
I’d never thought I’d see the day. This marks the day that a car in the Cleetus fleet went faster then Leroy. I think ruby is the top dog now. Hell yeah brother.
The elco is going to be the real problem child.
It's a powerglide win though
@Richard Harrold Let me be less specific, it's an AUTO win
@Richard Harrold Also not really sure what you mean cause there are powerglide cars that run well over 200mph in the quarter. Ruby's issue is just with the final drive gearing
@Richard Harrold Show me a car that went from Powerglide to 4L80E and picked up time and I'll believe you
The look on James face when that Nissan leaves the line. 😂😂
Any car for that matter 😅
😳
The check your undies look. 🤣
James looks like he underestimates the launch every time. I would do the same thing tbh
It was soooo wholesome when cleet got back and just kept saying “that was all you”
I love seeing the friendship between Cleeter McSkreeter and Jackstand Jimmy Reminds me of me and my friend of 10 years.
No lie there was a hint of a wheelie on that pass by Ruby! She launched like a bat out of hell! It has been an awesome journey seeing Ruby go from a auction junker to 7 second pass! Awesome work Cleet, James and the crew!
When James first appeared on this channel he was real timid and shy....now we have a full blown bromance on our hands and it's beautiful to watch.
Vaughn Gittin Jnr..more like Lawn Gettin Jnr by the sounds of it
Guess the freedom factory of his practice/test track between FD events... Hope FD has a event there some day!
Next to frantic calls to TSP, others frantic calls to the FF lawn doctor, Allyn Hane, will also be frequent as well, it seems. (I've got that type of grass in my front yard in SWFL, it can repair itself fairly well in time too)
Props, that made me laugh pretty good.
Dude, “Jack Stand Jimmy” is a savage! I remember when James came to the channel and I was like..... Who da heck this guy????
I’m glad #James_Taal joined the channel!!! Yaayee
Anyone else remember when Ruby was a random Auction "Project" Vet with a junk yard truck motor? O' gurl has come a long way.
I feel like cleetus and james skipped over the fact that james’s 240 made 1320 hp
and its an 1/8th mile car lol
What you think it ran? Looked fast...faster than ruby I think
How fast did James run 🏃♂️
really?
6sec car
As much as I love Leroy and all the other cars, I started watching when Ruby first got bought. This is such an amazing moment, James and Cleet have built such a solid ripper, Kevin also needs some credit on the old girl.
I know James is an employee but you guys are becoming great friends I can’t imagine anyone else being on the team. This video was so badass!
rewatching all of cleets videos, still just as good. So great.
Watch out, Leroy. There's a new sheriff in town, and she's a spicy redhead.
So much more money in ruby in my eyes, everything is equal or better than leroy. The fact they’re still close is bad
@@bbdl7042 Leroy's fastest was 7.80, Rubys 1st 7.74. Grats Ruby, it's been a long ride you made it.
@@bbdl7042Stick Shift vs Power Glide plays a big part in that.
Derp Ataur exactly
Two different animals. Anyone that can peddle a stick car to a 7.80 has my respect. You could stick any decent driver in Ruby and run 7s. It takes a very special person to push Leroy into the sevens. Just watch some Leroy video. If you think that's an easy ride...
Ruby's first launch was insane. I've never seen it hook like that. Zero tire spin, all go. Sick as hell, love the passion you all put into this and bringing us along for the ride.
I’m so glad cleetus started liking drag racing again. I get that some people like the variety of content, but for me, it’s just the drag racing and the old shop/build days that do it for me
true
I don't think he ever quit liking it. There just hasn't been many events this year. He did 2 drag weeks, tested ruby as many times as he could. Now this event and cleetus and cars coming up soon think we'll see racing pick back up if places start allowing events. And i agree that i miss the days when they worked on the cars together in the shop. It's just on to bigger and better things I guess pulling Cleet out of the shop. Maybe he'll build a shop at the freedom factory for James to work out of and they'll spend more time working together.
I agree, drifting just leaves me cold - I find it difficult to be behind him because it's not really something you can "win" like you can drag. But hey it's his channel and he can do what he likes.
wheeln 24/7 he said in a previous video that drag racing didn’t excite him anymore
Tears in my eyes boys! Ruby is rocking don't forget your roots, Leroy needs the #1 title, you guys can do it! Love the channel, keep it up!!!
The days of Leroy driving AROUND Ruby are over.
Leroy has been faster but it won't be long.
It wouldn't be that hard to have Leroy go faster if they put the same amount of work in to him as they did Ruby.
@deadend mph is same for ruby and leroy despite the body panels. Leroy needs to launch better is all
@@OxBlitzkriegxO I'm just making a general comment about how Ruby has always ran like a car that hooks well with a powerglide.
But Leroy obviously was trapping much higher mph. On RMRR, Ruby is out in front, but leroy hunts it down on the big end.
But now, Ruby is trapping a similar speed as Leroy with the new turbo... so Leroy won't be catching up to Ruby on the big end anymore.
You know Leroy is getting bigger turbos right?
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 Exactly, in fact Leroy had made a 184.75 mph pass (8.02) recently day 5 at RMRW 2.0, and at World cup 2019 where he ran a 7.791 @ 186.43 in another. I think Leroy quickest is that 7.79 though, but has laid down many passes at or beyond 185 mph.
I felt that....that was a big moment dont ever let that friendship slip away!!!
Dude was pretty selfish not to let James make that first 7 second pass! Thats what we wanted, what a jerk.
James Nissan is an inspiration for the guys trying build S-Chasis Drag cars
Ruby left off that line like a rocket in a millisecond and she stayed straight and true the whole way. Gott dayum.
You can tell James is a true car guy cuz at the beginning he heard the car and had to stop and give it a listen😂
This video is the best vid that’s been dropped in a while. Just saying
Ya nice to see some ripping instead of the synchronized swimming they have been doing. Drifting is fun in small doses.
Hogan Hogan - I’m not a figure skating fan either ha. Racing is more interesting to watch
2020 is full of surprises, never thought Ruby would be faster than Leroy!
Everyone expect this bcuz yknow. AERO lol
The PowerGlide trans, better suspension setup, and aero made that inevitable.
anyone that knows even a small bit about drag racing and cars knew it would happen. it only took this long so he could rake in all the views from stretching it out with a bunch of stock engines and different set ups.
Leroy best - 7.791 @ 186.43
Ruby best - 7.747 @ 177.25
Who is quicker? Who is faster?
Anthony Bowman true I forgot about the powerglide vs stick shift
What a violent run that 7.74 was, so cool to go along for the ride, Congrats boys!!
Never seen James' eyes get so wide as when he launched right that first time.
James is a good dude for sure he makes the show. That was a awesome pass. That made me tear up a little lol
Ruby is James brain child and Leroy is cleets brain child.
all that time he spent convincing cleet to get a car with a glide is paying off 😂😂
Leroy was the hard one being the stick car,imagine if they got him dialed with a power glide like ruby
Are you kidding ? James has nothing to do with Ruby . Cletus was brains behind it all..wasn't until recently that Cletus let James run ruby
@@n2vxc Define Recently.... because James has been running ruby for about 6 months now, also James is the house mechanic, not Cleetus, not that he cant work on stuff , but James is the one doing most of the work and probably the ideas for Ruby... if you disagree, you have NOT been watching this channel. Why do you think Cleetus is giving James so much credit after that pass?
@@n2vxc Dr spray em all had plenty of influence
James showing emotion is probably the best thing to happen in a year. Congrats guys.
I'm here on the day this was released.
And I will be back in years to come like I do when Leroy first went 7s
Congratulations Cleet !
James the mad scientist put together that Frankenstein’s monster nightmare beat to death used up Corvette into a 7 second car!
Good job!
I’m predicting 7.30s very shortly
@Richard Harrold May need bigger slicks...but yep. She can do it with a worthy transmission.
@Richard Harrold Wouldn’t need a transmission. Some slightly taller diff gears and more boost and Ruby would be into the low 7s on the current set up. She runs out of gearing at the end of the run.
I wonder what junkyard engine they'll put in her next!
@MrKalashnik0va you have 1 speed less to fuck up XD
Best fl2k for the cleet team ever coop got his car done, James got his done, and cleet ran a 7.74 with 4.98 1/8 that’s awesome!!!
One of those people isn't on the team.
Man wait until his next upload!! Someone on UA-cam posted something with Coop and Cleet that you won't want to miss! I hate and love spoiler videos.
@@unclehulka13 To me, the usual cast of characters are on the same team really. Like the Boostedboiz. They're all like a crew that roll together and support one another. I mean, Cleet isn't with 1320video anymore but 1320 supports him all the way, and gave him his start. There's still a lot of teamwork among them all even if they aren't all on the same payroll.
Don't forget Kyle from Boostboiz lol
@@tylerpoore97 Kyle blowing up another engine because he can't shift a sequential?
I seriously felt myself tear up. First time a you tube video made me do that. The work, dedication, and pure joy that goes into these cars is transcendent of typical motorsports.
Although it may never happen, I just want to shake both your hands and say thank you. So thankful you allow me to be a part of your life!
ive seen yall boys come such a long ways, been watching since before leroy was even purchased, i couldnt be more proud. congrats to all yall and cooper for piloting his new build to 8 seconds super impressive, jackstand jimmy ole cleeter and cooper all know how to steer a racecar on down the track thats for sure
When James talks inside his helmet, he sounds like the peanuts mom.
You know its important. Even though you can't understand it.
I almost think of Boomhauer from King of the Hill
I turn up my headphones to hear him better in those parts lol
@@LostParadise_ Was going to say the same thing.
Cleet is such a good sports!
Giving James all the credit
Dude was pretty selfish not to let James make that first 7 second pass! Thats what we wanted, what a jerk.
@@kidwave1 He even asked for permission.
And James had his own car out that he wanted to focus on.
Think of that: your boss is asking you if he can use the vehicle you built with his money.
@@beratsbuilds Yea, i guess you're right. Thanks for straightening me out. I had just been watching him drive Ruby more and more, and was hoping he would be driving her for the first 7 second pass, which Im pretty sure would've been HIS first 7 second pass too.
I felt the freedom straight through my headset. (in the echoey announcer voice) Hell Yeah BROTHER!! This brought a smile to my face. Seeing all the work you guys put in over the years to make Ruby such a competitor, now it is straight up legendary.
It’s a different kind of bond when your best friend builds and teaches you something that exceeds your expectations.
That launch on James's last run was nuts. That 240 is a rocket. Definitely want to see more of it
Agreed, love to see James' car brought into the fold, even if Cleet doesn't likely own it. Might make for tricky youtube video though given the competitive nature of the class.
@@rhadiem The reason james didn't want to tell the camera how fast it was is because it was faster than Ruby ... LMFAO
FrequencyOfThought no, that’s not the reason at all.
I can't lie boys, I get a little bit misty eyed when you guys succeed like this. And our girl Ruby finally got that 7! Hell Yeah Brother! Good job Cleet and Jackstand! Now I think it's time our boy Leroy gets into the 6's. 🤘🤘
You've got it ass backwards: It will be RUBY, that works its way into the 6's, as Leroy struggles just to continue breaking into the 7's. With the properly matched turbo, Ruby beat Leroy's best on the very first pass. I knew this was going to happen back when they first bought that built powerglide for Ruby. You honestly believe a stick shift is going to go faster than a good automatic? No way man. Not to mention Ruby has a distinct aero advantage over Leroy as well.
@shaunlaughter your eyes didn't mist up... the eyeballs sweat from time to time when we see and appreciate the drive and work it took to get here!💪🏽😤
@@entrepreneurhomeboy I knew that Ruby would eventually take Leroy. And I couldn't be prouder! All I'm saying is that Leroy is the car that got this channel the recognition it has now. Obviously Cleet, James and Cooper had a hand in it as well. But personally, I can't wait to see Leroy back in the limelight. It's my favorite car in the fleet and I can't wait for more content on him. Just my opinion man. It doesn't mean I've got it ass backwards. ✌
@@Real_Richmond_510 Well said brother! 👍
@@multicrosman6550 I'm curious to see what could happen with this build!
When Cleet is driving back from the 1st pass and is so excited about going the fastest he's ever been, just hearing his overwhelming happiness, made me wanna cry joy for him. Love ya brother
This is how my Sunday morning begins
Same
Same
Just think, they're there racing today as we're watching this...
wheeln 24/7 what’s so cool about it
Plot Twist: Ruby Shut off on first pass so james wouldn't miss it :D
So true she wanted her dad to be there
@@vibrativefoil5938 This is head cannon now!
shoutout the dark horses Kevin and Dr Tune Em All, what a team
Cleet not long ago: ruby isn't the all out race car just a junkyard build.
Cleet now after half a dozen engines: "I've never gone that fast in my life!"
That fastest pass made me think about Ed the neighbor.. You're not doin it for Dale, YOU'RE DOIN IT FOR ED THE NEIGHBOR TODAY! RIP Ed!
Leroy: 7.79
Ruby: 7.74
Congratulations brother, you guys built a brutally fast car. Can’t wait to see Leroy take his throne back though😂
Leroy will go faster with the bigger turbos, but then ruby can go high boost. I think they will both be neck and neck to the 7.5s at some stage
He’s gonna need some panels for that atleast.
Garret already said they aren't pushing Leroy any harder because they don't want to keep breaking harder to find parts.
Perry Tilton then he changed his mind and wrote a comment on his video saying he’s spark is back, and is going to get some bigger turbos for Leroy and push him deeper into the 7s
Perry Tilton day 5 of race week video. Top comment
James how fast was your pass.
James: Yes.
AhyrO Fast!
Can someone please explain "No Time Class"???
Thanks
@@fuckngreat8955 In drag racing people race for target times to make it interesting. They refer to Leroy as an "Eight-Oh bracket car" because it runs really close to 8.00 consistently. To win the bracket, you beat your opponents without going faster than 8.00. Most people race in classes like 10.00 10.50 11.00 etc. A "no time" car is fucking fast, so fast that there aren't enough people to do brackets consistently. Instead these guys usually race straight up for big money and therefore hide their numbers.
That Fiat a lot of no time race classes require no times to be posted on the set up for 2 years or so. Let’s these guys compete at events and still grudge race.
Low 7 seconds
Yeeeeeyee!!! Ruby you absolute unit, finally got not just a 7 second pass but went 7.74! That’s going down in the history books as the most legendary moment since ole Leroy ran his first 7 second pass. I won’t be forgetting this for a very long time.
