The fact you are so stoked john won and went a 4.90 in the 1/8th, shows just how good of a dude you are.
That's just how country boys in Florida are.
Im glad this is in the top comments. That was the best sportsmanship ive seen in a while. Both stoked to keep pushing. As racing should be!
@@ganjmcboogerflickin6161 Florida people are like that.
Maverick Mason not necessarily, I live in Jacksonville and it’s straight trash here. Hopefully at some point I’ll make it down to the Tampa area to see these fellas at Cleetus and cars
Classy AF
"We don't really have our shit together to keep up with that but I guarantee we are gonna go try!"

Best quote ever
I watched that 3x
Big tyres mate
That needs to be on a shirt!
With that kind of attitude, you can accomplish ANYTHING!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍 Hell Yeah Brother!!!
Suspension suspension suspension. You can have all the power in the world. But, if you can’t make it stick..........Graciousness in defeat is a true sign of character. Good job, gentlemen.
Yeah I've been thinking for a long time that Leroy was too finicky on his launches and wondering if it was an issue where the suspension was too firm maybe. I'm no expert at all... just a suspicion I've had. Seem to me like a suspension that is too firm to torque load up like a spring will require much highest skill from the driver in his or her clutch technique. And when we're talking about a 3 gear change 7-8 second race.... that's asking a lot of the driver.
If he’s driving clutch then he needs the suspension softer so all of the body weight can shift to the rear tires because the car is too light so if he slips the clutch enough he doesn’t have to really worry about spinning
He might need to crank up the rebound stiffness on the front.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. Traction bars maybe. He's got to keep the ass end down or no 7s. A larger diameter tire will help to reduce wheel spin as well. They need to approach the problem with physics in mind. Science is the answer to everything.
Being excited to see another racer win, that's called being a 'good loser', proper example of having the right attitude and respecting each other. Well done Cleetus & Crew.
“I’m not sure if they can see this car on camera”
*pans in on 240*
I fuccing love Cooper 😂😂😂🇺🇸
U forgot the K in that f word
I dont really understand what you mean. He wasnt lieing
Him and James are hilarious james needs a mic on him
I don't wanna be a wet blanket but I want 7 second Leroy back.
imsatanscott yeah well they're in a reliable tune not a world record tune
i think he is still a 7.9 car easy. he went 8.2 on a pass he fucked up pretty bad on
Just wait :)
He has allready done 7 with new set up
They dont spend enough time on Leroy. The guys they race have 4 or 5 times the track time that Leroy has.
They have a lot of projects on the plate.
This is why I love this channel no grudges no beef from either racing teams nothing but thee best sportsmanship from both teams this is how it should always be nothing but respect between racers
The definition of a good competitor. He wasn't upset he lost he was more excited that the guy beside him just broke a record. Hes truly a man of class. Most people would be mad to run 1 sec down in the final race but he said i wouldn't have it any other way those guys have their shit together. That's the reason i prefer watching ol' Cleeter above anyone else. He is in it for the sport and spirit of competition.
Got to love Cletus.. humble in victory and gracious in defeat . Your doing an amazing job guys ..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
*you + are = you're
Your right to say it man. 👍
Comments like this help me believe that there are still good people left in this world
Guys watch the launch of the 240....Look at that little bit of wheel spin and tire wrinkle just like a little top fuel car.....I just think Leroy hooks up to hard on the green light and does a jump. That hand break leaver needs a big return spring on it too it's not popping back to zero fast enough....Just my arm chair racer 2 cents worth.....Hell yeah brother !!!
You're possibly very correct though. 240 has the perfect balance of wheel spin and grip off the line. But he's also got a back half tune that's eating up boost pressure and loving it. The MPH shows it big time.
I would like to also add, Leroy needs different shocks in the front. Needs way more rebound so Leroy can squat in the back. I think tire spin and more squat. He'll be unbeatable
That brake wont hold back that much power. Corvettes have like no suspension travel. Don't forget Leroy was a do everything car drift, street, drag. The suspension is not what most cars running 7's have. Leroy is pretty dialed in without a solid axle and a bouncy front end.
Magucci13 I was just watching the video and I though the same thing. Leeroy needs shocks front and rear. The 240 rear end squats just right off the launch, and the front shocks are using all the travel in the first 60ft. Leeroy doesn’t really move, I think Cletus is the only reason leeroy is even doing what it’s doing. He uses the hand brake like traction control. That is was too inconsistent
I’ve wondered for awhile if Leroy would benefit traction after 60ft from a MODEST rear spoiler. Seems he breaks loose and gets real squirrelly out there.
I absolutely LOVE the level of sportsmanship that Cleetus & Co exhibit. Garrett's attitude is fantastic.
Keep up the good work.
Viva Leroy!
When the 240 revs up on launch you can't tell if Leroy's running lol keep up the good videos
I think a 100% transparent promod shell would look so sick, obviously with channels for the turbskies. Better aero and you can still see leroy underneath so it doesn’t take the image away.
Leroy basically made this guys fame.. he wont change it
@@zuestoots5176 he could have one that is easely removeable that he just puts on when going for records or finals, he would go alot faster considering the results of the dragtests
Frajmando exactly my thinking
I agree 100%
I hope he reads this
Did James find out what axels the 240 driver uses?
🤣🤣🤣🤣best comment hands down lmaooooooo
Did someone else comment this or wtf cuz this needs more likes
Lmao 😂
Bet james was lowkey happy
Ahhh shitttt!!! I was thinking the same thing.
Cleetus I think you're missing 4th because of your seat. Watch your arm at 5:45
Great job Dave. I hope someone on the team sees your comment.
I agree with tuber4tuber
Looks like his elbow hits but I would think he knew that tho
James Perkey ya I thought that was a possibility but in the moment it can be hard to notice when you’re lettin’ her rip (tater chip)
@@davewilson3951 TRUE
IDS has been dialing there 240, leroy hasnt been touched for a while. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
Indeed, even Cleeter is seeming a bit sketchy right now. Just wait till deeper into the season, the shit is on.
Who else *DIDN’T* watch the 1320 video because your a true Cleetus fan?!
True Cleetus fans watched in person.. lol jk yes I didn't want to know either..
BrootPK - was hard but I resisted!!
GixxerGuy1000 _ only like 2k miles away :) some day!!
I watched only because I didn't know he would upload this plus there was no spoilers warning from 1320.
Same 😂😂💯
Can we just give Cleetus some respect he’s side ways at 170 lol my man
In a pretty much go kart lol
That's because the rear control arms are walking in the bush mounts under torque and steering it from the rear, forcing him to counter steer as the boost comes on in each gear. If he sources some harder bush mounts, i'm sure it would solve the walking issue, also think he needs to take 1/2 maybe a full psi out of the rears, seems to be riding a little high and only using the middle 2/3's of the tread (previous video showed a real good shot of control arms moving and the tyres riding high)
@gree one hand life
@@maxnaz47 Leroy just needs stronger, higher quality control arms and bush mounts in general. Can't go wrong with solidified bush mounts lol.
I’ve said it before, but you guys as a team with such positive attitudes about EVERYTHING, are a pleasure to watch.
What a humble guy to celebrate some one elses victory. Thats true sportsmanship and just signs of a good team. Hell yeah team cleetus
Get Leroy dialed back in!! Been spending too much time in ruby . Leroy hasn’t ran 7s in a while . 😕
(Edit): No hate towards ole cleeter he produces amazing content ! But I feel Leroy has a lot more potential.
If you watch @2:18 at .25x speed, he is letting off at 73xx rpm at the 1/4 mile (shifts are at 74xx RPM). Does Leroy have anymore engine/gearing to go much faster speed on the top end?
@@bryce340v8 yeah he's got another grand probably the boost isn't as high as it has been they turned him back for reliability purposes due to comments I'd assume he can definitely run faster than this
He's gonna have to change tire sizes or gearing or both. Gotta be able to trap that 190-200 area to get deep in the 7s. There is also a lot of room to improve on the 60ft and 1/8th mile.
For real he could of beat that 240x
Maybe some plastics for aerodynamics
Intimidation factor 100%
Leroy red lite 3 cars in a row. Haha👍👍
Hence the #3 on him, THE INTIMIDATOR🤘🤘🤘
Boring racing though.
Red lighted all cars but that 240 he said he wasn't scared he said fuck your bald eagles lol
Couldn't ask for better sportsmanship. Wish I could have seen Leroy take home the win but cleetus shows us how to celebrate even if its not you that one. Congrats to everybody
I hate to say it, but I don't see Leroy ever going as fast as that 240.
The aerodynamics of Leroy has to be one of the things holding it back.
Oh it would definitely go faster, just not in the stick shift class.
I guarantee ya he can run 7.5 without aero. after that, hes gonna have to figure out something for sure. they just need to dial the motor since its new, they blew the last one getting stick shift record
Midwest Vibes not to mention they are running a totally new to them clutch setup that they are still tuning
Bring back record breaking leyroy, forget the junkyard builds
He still has the record.. his record is ls not 5 speed
Greg West this isn’t a junkyard build, this motor was built by texas speed
@@shepss217 has talking about ruby bud
@@adolpholiverbush5867 his record is GM stick shift, not ls... and I'm talking about fastest stick car overall, 5 speed 6 speed who cares
@@shepss217 I know... I'm talking about ruby
Too soft on the rebound out back. She’s bouncing all thru the 60’ and unloading on gear changes. Watch your competitor... plant and stick.
straight power climb untill he let off the throttle..no bounce wiggle nothing..maybe bigger tires on leroy
I concur, hopefully they see this and can mess around with it.
This is exactly what I was seeing also. Suspension is real loose on the rear end between gears.
Doug Anderson he didn’t say he could do it better could he ? Stupid idiot he’s pointing out facts
While I agree, don't discount the fact that Leroy is still IRS and the camo car is now a 8.8 swapped car. HUGE difference in how the cars act. IRS is a huge learning curve.
This video shows why garret and the Cleetus team are a stand up group of fellas. Car scenes are getting back to how they should be and guys like these are the pioneers. Keep t up guys.
Damn I'm so glad John finally came back and beat Cleetus, and with such a win that he got a record, this win was beyond deserved and I love how happy Cleetus was for John when he won and beat the record. Great vid brother!
HELLLL YEAAA BROTHER THATS THE FASTEST BARTLE SKEET CLICK I DONE EVER DID
Ben Gross lmao no shit
did ya dew it fer Dale???
Cleetus is such a good competitor. What a good guy.
Never fails, I get chills running up and down my body seeing Leroy run threw the gears. Hell yeah brother bog deep!
I do believe cleetus gets as much enjoyment seeing his buds do good as he does doing good himself. Good man!
Cleetus I think you and Leroy need to spend more time together my friend.
More Intimacy!
I was gonna say, most of last year he spent a lot of time on test days just dialing the car and getting into a rhythm, this year he hasn't spent much time wtih Leroy on a track yet.
@@DarkSwordsman Been to scared to blow the motor it seems. I mean I dont blame him but that seems to be the reason he doesnt want to drive it as much
@@pablopicaso8374 practice stick shift car?
The Real OG's know he used to take leroy down the streets to bring xmas trees ♡ i remember also when he got this baby and supercharged it and then twin turbskies .. who Else here?
Real og's remember him getting the c7
I remember like 6 uploads in a row being based on damn turbo whistles
Real OG's remember when he used to say i got exams and finals and excuses for not uploading . But also building vette and fooling around with 1320video
Real ogs remember his rc boat
@@lazreganis303 like I'm so tired so guys I got exams
It was all fun & games with Ruby. Good seeing you getting back to business with the old good Leroy. Can't wait to see more of his shenanigans. Dial him in and start going after that 7.5s
Been watching this chanel for 2 years or so now well i think the first ever video i watched was when u drove by a cop at well over 100 miles an hour to see how far youve come man is crazy yall keep up the hard work
That sportsmanship, camaraderie and Esprit De Corps is why I love this channel.
me too
Bois be lining up next to old Leroy and leave on the second stage light they're so scared! Let er rip!
16:28 Cleetus' voice makes my day! Could not wait to get home and watch this one time to make Leroy hit low 7's!
Dude, that first pass was amazing - you predicted an 8.20, and it was an 8.22. You and Leeroy are working like one, it's so cool to watch. Thanks for the video!
Better lucky next time bro. Get some testing in with that car. Been playing with Ruby to much lol.
Too* but totally agreed 😂
And hanging out with Kyle to much missing those gears. LOL!
Honestly. To me Ruby isn't that enjoyable to watch but still watch to support the channel
It needs to go on a chassis jig to get straightened out, would probably help keep him going straight
Plus Leroy has been down because of oil pressure issues, now they're sorted the content will probably pick up again
I always root for Leroy, but I love your sportsmanship.
You guys need to get Leroy in fighting shape/
the energy is different. these guys put so much in I can sense the exhaustion
Garrett you've gotten too used to ruby and that powerglide. Time to get back to shifting gears in Leroy!
ClutchkickPJ his real name is Garrett?
jhsplaya yea lol cleetus is the character
Garrett is the man. Cleetus is the Legend.
Don't call the man by his first name if you don't know him personally
@@joshkree8016 shut the hell up, you wanna be called josh or dipshit in public. Exactly
Cleetus... listen man, you need to let get some more time on Leroy. We NEED that Vette to get some areo so it can rail the 2J.
agreed, at speeds over 70mph aero becomes a mayor drag factor, imagine how much drag is holding back Leroy at 170mph... at that speed bad aero is a HUGE disadvantage.
Legtoneale tHeRe’S nO sCiEnTifIc DaTa To PrOvE tHeRe’s AiR rEsIsTaNcE aT 70 mPh
@Legtoneale Aero drag increases exponentially with speed, it's not like he hits a wall at 70 but I don't think Leroy can go much faster without better aero. There isn't enough traction to put down power when the air is holding him back so much. He's been getting new motors and turning up the boost for more power but he isn't going any faster, more power isn't going to help if he can't put it down
Legtoneale he went to a wind tunnel jack ass
That’s why they got ruby, it will keep getting a bigger motor for added content to the channel as well as a build up to running 6’s eventually.
The level of good sportsmanship portrayed in your work should be a lesson learned for many others (not just motorsports)
I'm so proud of you and Leroy! You did your best, I expect more to come! Great job!
That 240 is really set up right. It is so smooth you wouldn't know it was a stick.
the drivers doin work in the 240
Since nobody else is gonna say it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DALE!! 🇺🇸 Bartle Skeet and Let'er Eat 🇺🇸
That race was pretty freakin awesome! I enjoy the great sportsmanship shown during the whole race day!
Holy sh*t! Cleetus, bloody impressive driving and keeping your foot in it when it get squirrely. Great to watch but look after yourself too!!
13:55 Looks like the brake lever isn't resetting to its full forward position after you release it. The lever's weight is holding itself back under all those G's, and it only returns fully at 14:05 when you let off.
This may mean the car is applying brakes accidentally and you need a stronger return spring?
Just add a bungee cord to the dash! You could be right but it would only slightly affect it. That would have to be a hell of a lot of G's
The slave only applys pressure when you pull on it all my hydros are the same
I am only guessing but I think there might be some play in the linkage for the first bit of the throw, I do see what you are talking about though.
I’m pretty sure Cleetus has addressed this in a video a while back, he said that it took a lot of force to pull the hand brake and it was just play in it
Ive had crazy things get me before
Good job guys. But that 240 was moving holy crap. He made Leroy look like he was standing still
Richard Bostick Cleetus hit a perfect tree if he kept everything together he would’ve walked that 240
Calm down I'm a huge cleetus fan. But that car was fast and the team had it tuned. Leroy will be there this season for sure tho
Richard Bostick I’m not bashing you i get what you mean
Fir sure. I love watching these guys kill it out there. This season will be fun
@@jaelons23 he wouldn't have walked shit lol. There setups better and tuned better . Simple
Good cam angle on the helmet there you get to see just how fast Leroy actually is chasing down that pickup that wasn't slow at all! True Savage Bald Eagle Machine =D Cletus also a true gentleman and racer just as happy for the other man putting down an awesome pass as he would be if he won!! Love you guys videos always put a smile on my face!
That what proper aerodynamic works. It awesome to see how positive cleetus and team are..
Time to get that rear end alignment figured out.
Yupp
That's the one. There pulling power to fix but a car should spin straight
Seeing how excited he was for the 240 making that killer pass was amazing. Says a lot about a guy when you can get your ass handed to you and be that happy for your opponent!
The sportsmanship on this channel is amazing love you guys and hope to one day to have good people like y'all in my life! Y'all def let her eat keep it up with ur heads up high!!!!!
Heck yea brother! Better luck in your next competition but welcome to Bristol, and the Tri-cities, hope you all had fun. I was supper excited to get to see you run in person, hope to see you all again sometime at Bristol, and I also hope they prep the track better, for everyone’s sake. ✌️
It saddens me when Cleetus Looses but his happy spirit makes it okay 🤣💙❤️ ‘’Merica
Loses* No disrespect, just tryin to help you out for the future
Don't understand why I can't watch an NRA drag race for 15 mins without getting bored but I could watch Leroy and Ruby go all day.
Because the NHRA drag races are whose disposable engine powered exactly the same car can go faster than the others. There's no variety, there's no challenge, and there's no heart.
This is just dudes dreaming up crazy shit to go fast, trying to do things that haven't been done, and appreciating each others journeys while doing it. I'll take this every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Because we watch because of Garret, Coop, and James. They make us feel a connection to the cars. Best guys on UA-cam hands down! Ugh I have bad grammar
@@joshuanewsome5298 Mine is no better. I forgot the h in NHRA.
You guys are a real class act....sportsmanship at its best.
I have a feeling that Leroy's aerodynamics, or the lack thereof, are beginning to hinder the Eagles from flying brother. Awesome video. Yall always show great sportsmanship. Win or loose it's just a good day for racing. See yall in Houston.
I found a stick shift Baja for spaghetti cooper! It's in MT.
Joe Acher yES!!!!!
John’s going that fast because of you.
What an amazing team you have around you.
Humble in victory. Celebrating with your rival in their victory.
What great role models you guys are.
These guys are so humble and understand how to win and lose
Lol when the bog deep chant works a bit 2 well on Leroy's last launch!!!
It's sad to see Leroy lose but *DAMN THAT 2JZ GOT SOME POWER BBY*
Last time I was this early I ended up with a kid
Feels. But twins😳
This dood
Hahahah. Never heard that one lol
Did you ever end up seeing it again?
Reno69 ...need to work on your 'pullout' game ..hell year brother just send it
Holy shit that 240 is quick. But none the less mad respect for both sides. Leroy you are still my #1!love that car get it boy.
POV shots are amazing! Totally can feel the G’s in that first pass!
So humble. Thats why you're my favorite channel! Hell yeah brother!
I'm not a v8 guy, mainly because of the people who are, but fuck, Cleetus is such a good dude, he's so respectable and doesn't bash on 4 and 6 cylinder cars like most other v8 guys
@@aliceshaw8265 so you're telling me youd spend a good chunk of money for entry fee and risk breaking the car for only the "fun" factor? That's what test and tune nights are for :/
@@aliceshaw8265 hilarious. he is doing what he loves and happens to be making money doing it. He lives a life most people would kill for and he still treats people well and gives props where props are due.
"Humble: having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance"
7.50 wow , Leroy can do that . Just have to dial him in :-)
Cletus driving Leroy looks absolutely terrifying. Sliding around the track at 170mph. You are a great driver and have huge balls ha!
Man if that engine was in ruby behind that powerglide... I'm an OG Leroy fan but he needs some kind of aerodynamics.
I actually think you're right. Leroy needs aero. He loses power in fighting against the elements
He needs a straight rear end. Cleetus is turning right as every gear comes in.
@@slammerf16 thats cause his bushings are walking under load. he needs to get hardened bushing mounts for the rear
He said it had a bent frame a couple months ago, didn't he?
Joshua Hicks I agree
Alright Cleeter, it's racing season. Time to quit fooling around with all those other rigs and get the you + Leroy zen back where it ought to be! Excellent work regardless, though, and it's great to see your graciousness. I've lost a lot of things (races, jobs, girls, fistfights, on and on) and I've not always been able to stay gracious and positive, but every time I was it turned out WAY better than it ever would've otherwise. We're all just folks, nobody's any better or worse than another, some are just a little luckier or better prepared now and again. Keep boggin' deep!
Thats funny I just said he need to stop fooling around with those side pieces lol

Sportsmanship at its finest. Keep it up boys.
Cleetus that's the sort of attitude we should teach our kids, it doesn't matter where you finish as long as you give it your all.
Enjoy the racing for what it is & enjoy your sucess & enjoy your competitors success. It's a really good guide for kids to learn as they grow up, cleetus your a star mate you might not have won but who cares it was one hell of a race. Your a really great dude cleetus
Your parents should be very proud of you. Love ya brother. RustyinOz
Yo Cletus your car launches bad, maybe Leroy doesn’t need more power but better suspension setup 🤔
Verny Mora perhaps you can enlighten me and tell me what other suspension parts are better than his current setup?
Backup your comment of “Leroy needs a better suspension setup”
yeah it kinda looks like suspesion travels a lot at start, maybe it should sit down a bit smoother within the 1st couple of meters/ft? Or new tires? but im no expert, just wondering..
@@picklebacon its not his parts its how he has them set up. you can see leroy bouncing all over the 60 foot.
Pickle Bacon the fact that it was a road vehicle makes the chassis behave like that, I know Leroy has coil overs and sway bars but the way it bounces is just beyond of what the car may need, weight transfer is massive because of how much torque the car has, doing the car less prone to sit under acceleration or dive under brake is critical, but I can assure it’s going way to deep under heavy loads!
More suspension tuning
You have to remember you are doi these times with No panels on Leroy. You are smashing boys.
Great racing guys!!
love it!!
Have you thought further into the suspension loading and unloading properly?
All this power needs a good suspension to function 100% correct to achieve the times sought after.
Food for thought!
Love you guys!!
Bogg deep brothas!!
That's some awesome sportsmanship there, Garrett! Congrats John!
I think your problem now is aero. That 7.5 sec pass was like a missile going down the strip.
He should get some minimal carbon panels on the front end and on the roof
Aero is a problem, but panels won't make as big of a difference to the ET as you think. There's only 3 seconds of the pass where aero will actually matter. But in competition, every tenth counts.
that is the next step.. drag squares with speed and Leroy downforce is super draggy as per the windtunnel.
@@harrykelly4651 they played with that in the windtunnel video, some of the panels made it worse as the drag is due to the dead air behind the car iirc.
@@harrykelly4651 It might sound counter-intuitive, but aero is actually more important on the back end than the front, because the back is actually where the negative air pressure pulls you back if your body doesn't taper or kam-tail well, but on the front you're pretty much pushing through the same cross-sectional area of air regardless.
Right after pfi speed new video ends cleetus uploads. Very nice!
You know what guys I absolutely love your outlook and positivity around everything! Love the videos! You guys rock 🤙🏼
Man, great run guys! Been waiting days for this video!! My heart was pounding soooo much with each time I saw you and Leroy tear down the track!! It has to be VERY hard considering you have spent the last several months driving Ruby where most of the hard work is done “Automatically”. Take Leroy out to the track several times before your next huge race. Get that baby dialed in and you will get your low 7’s!! Leroy has PLENTY of power now, he just needs tamed is all!! Great job to the entire crew!!
I had no idea y'all were gonna be in Bristol! Gotta start watching your schedule, that's 15 minutes from home.
Why does it feel like I've been friends with Cleetus forever and I've never met him
Props to John’s team for running consistent mid 7’s. Stupid good achievement! Also shoutout to Cleet and the team for being gracious losers. Can’t wait to see Leroy dialed in a few races from now.
I'm so proud of you. You are a true good sport. You'll do much better next time. Think about bringing Jeremy your tuner. I'm 75 so my memory isn't that good but I think that's his name. I'm a 3 tour Vietnam combat vet. I've awakened every morning since 1972 thankful that nobody is shooting at me. Seeing you and your freedom to do what you love and doing it with a gladness for other's success is inspiring even to this grumpy old man.Thank God for American freedom where you can write your own script of life. You live it well. I've loved cars since I was 11. I've raced both drags and open track road racing. I admire the engineering that goes into autos. America allows men like you to experiment, learn and compete. You and your friends are truly what this country is all about. Keep freeing them bald eagle and do it for Dale!
Yes brake lever return spring. Tires. But you guys know that. Also rear end re alignment James knows...
I like watching ruby videos, leroy videos, anything that has to do with cars and drag racing. So much so that you guys inspired me to start my own youtube channel. I hope someday, I get to drag race with Cleetus along side. Keep up the great content!!!!, Keep videos coming!!!!!. Good luck on your 2019 drag racing season.
