Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays guys!!! This was a totally random idea we had and it came out AWESOME!!! Thanks to the drivers for coming out and showing some real holiday spirit. Can't wait for next year's race!
Holy Crap, Magnetic and Wayne pull the sticks out of your asses. This was a fun event, key words FUN EVENT. I'm laughing as I type this and am basically just poking fun so please don't let an old man get your panties in a wad... Merry Christmas and God Bless...
@@FAKE-NAME And the blow-up doll tree makes it a hat trick. All three are clever ways of exploiting the lack of rules, though I do agree Kevin's is still best.
Hats off to Victor for hosting this. Hats off to Garrett for thinking it up. Hats off to all those who took part in this hugely entertaining event. We REALLY needed this at the end of a sucky 2020. Brilliant!
I love how Kevin can't help but do things his meticulous and super thoughtfull way, even when he's doing something as goofy as putting a christmas tree on the back of a race car xD
Thank you so much for having us down! We had an absolute blast with everyone, hopefully ‘21 goes back to normal and we can catch you out at some races! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
I'm an American transplant to the Philippines. Watch every one of your posts. This is undoubtedly one of the most classic American Christmas activities I have ever seen. Only in America do you get things like punkin' chunkin', supercharged outhouses, racing lawnmowers, and 200 MPH Christmas Tree festooned drag racers.
@@pclinton95 I think Vic figured out that ol Cleeter made his racetrack about 10x more popular just by being next door. Anytime Cleet's involved it gets even more people pumped about BMS so it's win win
Cleetus: "we're at 10.9 volts guys" *rolls up power windows* Don't know why but that had me in stitches🤣 Great showdown, and awesome spirit all around!
Yeah I was thinking how much current can Cleet pull before it all goes quiet, then he decides to adjust the windows! But he managed to keep on going and squeezed that battery for all it had!
Actually, Christmas trees started in Germany in 1747. Americans viewed trees as a pagan symbol, so we didn’t accept them for the longest time. So if anything the tree makes it less American
To me, this is 100% what quarter mile racing should be- genuinely fast cars that show what a street car can do, a hilarious theme, great people behind the wheels, huge fun to watch. Doesn't get any better than this.
Agreed. Only confusion is the lack of 1320 coverage. With one of their cars running stealth for the event.. Was odd. Were they ducking quarantine rules or something?
This could turn into a huge event in the future. Just imagine having multiple classes. Everything from true street and 7.5 index to Radial Vs. The 🌎 and outlaw 10.5, but they all are decorated for Christmas. This is gonna be epic
@@1216jimmyz you say that but it can still be huge fun. Look no matter how serious you try to be having a Christmas tree strapped to your drag car will never be able to take it too serious to have fun. Indexes would help tho.
One suggestion: every entry is required to bring $100 worth of toys to be donated to local charity. Allow spectators free entry with any toy donation. And match the winning purse with a cash donation to charity.
This goes to show what a good dude cleet is! He was checking back, looking backwards early early to make sure James was ok, thst early if you have to look back thst hard you’re safe, he was looking back clearly to see if his boy was good. Love it! Merry Christmas!!
Hearing a bunch of car guys talk passionately about their pride and joy is enough for me. You know how much time work and effort goes into these cars and hearing them talk about them and get so excited is what it's all about. Just makes me happy to see other people get excited, lol.
100% karma for taking the “haha in your face I don’t care about your comments” line he said. Something about that struck me the wrong way, glad to see him get instakarmad.
Bro the attention to detail is just incredible!!Who wants to win when you can literally make you’re car at lit as you want and just have a good time! Props to the boys that actually took the time💚
Thank you to Bradenton Motorsports for hosting this event. Everyone needed this to close out this crappy year. Merry Christmas to all who made this event happen.
Watching this on Christmas morning and can honestly say this is one of the more enjoyable wholesome videos on UA-cam 2020. Can't beat pure happiness amongst good friends and good times. Well done.
Yes!! Organize a parade to a children's hospital with presents in hand. Get some super good publicity for the sport and the hospital. Sponsors, donations, tv spot on the news, Clete in a santa suit. The sky is the limit!
I feel like they did this one time and had an 18wheeler full of toys to donate. I may be mistaking for different channel but pretty sure was cleet & co
Mad props to Cleet's pedaling in the second round, that was impressive. Just started to wheelie, lifted perfectly to let it come down and got right back in it.
@@devinstepp4205 no time/no et meaning they do not want time or speed displayed when crossing the finish line. Some guys wanna be really secretive or play hard ball and don’t want other people to know the times the car runs
I can see into the future: "Cleetus Mcfarland: Chasing the Red Light" the story of how Cleet had the fastest reaction time in all of racing ever. *bald eagle screech*
As always Garret an crew just make u smile, what a great way too cheer up the world at these times. There isn't words that'll comprehend the PRAISE these guys deserve. What a wicked track prep as well. Merry Christmas too u all stay safe.

Loved every bit of it, thanks for the Christmas cheer Cleetus, Merry Christmas to you and your family and everyone involved in the Cleetus McFarland UA-cam channel and The Freedom Factory. Looking forward to see watch you have in store for us this coming year and Do it got Dale!
8:08 Dale Earnhardt himself, saying Do it for cleetus... that ought to have brought a tear to your eye hey cleet? What an amazing early Christmas present!
My wife: want to put up decorations at the house? Me: nah costs too much... Cleetus: Do you want to decorate your racecar and run the 1/4 mile with a tree on top?? Me: 😲🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
I like that Cleetus lets everyone else post their vids from events first before uploading his. Doesn't stop me from waiting until his upload though lol
It gave me foreknowledge of Coop's turbskie being already cooked beyond being _well-done_ so I wasn't scratching my head about why the Impasta did a sedan-level pass
Cleet, man this event is just top notch man, I had a grin on my face from start to finish and that means a lot I had a tough year and this was a blast to watch. I just pray that your goal is to have either Ruby or Mullet built up in time to smoke the Green Mamba. It sounds like he’ll be back next year and so will I God willing. Thank you friend!!
Next weekend you need to "Race into the new year" time a pass where you leave in 2020 and finish in 2021. Could be the first and only person to make a single pass in two years.
Thank you Cleetus, and thanks to Victor for always being so accommodating and everyone behind the scenes helping out. I always love this kind of content and you knocked it out of the park as always Cleeter
So, I've never really been into drag racing, I started following this channel early in the year because of the builds and tuning... And now I can't get enough of drag racing. Thank you Cleetus, Happy holidays 👍🏻
Gotta tell ya cleeter I'm home sick from work and woke up to find my dog dead I front of my house today and watching this Christmas tree race is officially the only thing helping me make it thru the day thank you guys keep up the great content
I love how they a crazy idea and then it becomes a thing. Now it's going to be a yearly staple now. Love it. I feel like from now on it wont feel like Christmas till I see the Christmas tree race. It's weird that this race gave a bit of Christmas spirit.
This was one of the best races I watched this year and that's saying something because I watched just about every drag race run from the streets to the track this year!
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t just added a second and easily removable battery to his Ram so you can just swap another battery in between rounds as needed or a second battery mount in ruby as well.
I seriously think that Cleetus should take ruby's engine out and have Texas Speed check everything on the engine. Maybe it has some bends and imperfections in the block.
Went last night and met up with my son and daughter was in Fort Lauderdale from Kansas City working in Fort Lauderdale. My son drove down from work in Pulatka, FL where he is welding on a power plant there and my daughter was down from Kansas City working in Tampa. We all met up at Bradenton Motor Sports Park and had an absolute BLAST! Have been watching your videos for years and love what you’ve built!!! Was a great show with a lot of great fans! We had a blast and will be back for many more events!
I think I grinned all the way through this! Love this video, this concept, and all the effort that went into the event. Lots of cool cars, and that Falcon was beautiful!
Thank you to all of you! This has been such a terrible year but this event just made Christmas what it supposed to be. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, keep doing it for Dale !
not even 20 minutes in and just KSR = God mode for brains loving this episode, Merry Christmas to all of you and big love for the content the past year!
Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays guys!!! This was a totally random idea we had and it came out AWESOME!!! Thanks to the drivers for coming out and showing some real holiday spirit. Can't wait for next year's race!

Merry Christmas to you as well... Tnx for all the great content its all ive had to keep me going this year
Merry Christmas to you and yours man.
Merry Christmas to you and Maddie. You guys worked hard this year and have everything to show for it.
Your even planning is insane 🤟🏻
Cleetus: Lets strap Christmas trees to our roof and drag race
Kevin: Lets engineer the most optimal Christmas tree drag racing system possible.
In turn he made an "as seen on TV kitchen mop..."
I loved that idea and the engineering. It even accounted for wheelies!! And it looked great dragging the white tree down the 1/4
Hopefully everyone keeps pretending he put it on the roof, like the rules said....... Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@@TVmadethemdoit yeah thought I was the only one paying attention. Same thing with the truck who had the tree in the bed

I like the commentary with James because he knows all the drivers and cars.
And cause he was high on redbull
Yeah he so hyper on red bull 😂
My man did a line b4 the race tho
Lol *fastest car on the property*
James has 100% came into his own on the camera.
He needs to be the commentator for events going forward!
I really like listening to james, hes got a real good exitable vibe
@@z3r3pmoto Yeah I was going to say I really liked his commentary of the races and should do it more!
Yeh Alex is a bad commentator
Someone tell James this isn’t an airport.
Boosted boys slip him a moon tune?! lol

That thing was fixing to take off and deliver bits of Xmas tree to all of Florida!
Or the north pole...
Wrong coast for NASA.
Hats off to Victor for hosting this. Hats off to Garrett for thinking it up. Hats off to all those who took part in this hugely entertaining event. We REALLY needed this at the end of a sucky 2020. Brilliant!
It really shows how much James loves racing. Whether it's doing or watching it he's 100% invested. Such a good dude.
Christmas tree drag racing is probably the greatest idea in drag racing history for a holiday event.
I love how Kevin can't help but do things his meticulous and super thoughtfull way, even when he's doing something as goofy as putting a christmas tree on the back of a race car xD
Thank you so much for having us down! We had an absolute blast with everyone, hopefully ‘21 goes back to normal and we can catch you out at some races! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

We just love to go fast 🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
its how we combat communism!
This is hilarious how this was A joke from Victor and it became A real race.
Definitely looking forward to next year with 32 competitors and public entrance. Kills me not to be there as I'm in the UK. Happy holidays buddy. 👍
Victor is such a cool guy to allow this and host it! Cleetus is surrounded by awesome people!
@@pclinton95 I think Vic figured out that ol Cleeter made his racetrack about 10x more popular just by being next door. Anytime Cleet's involved it gets even more people pumped about BMS so it's win win
Sad that Leroy isn’t race ready, he was the OG Christmas tree drag car, not to mention kayaks too.
And jet skis....
Hopefully he’ll be in it next year.
Not like he doesn't have been. Obviously they didn't want to
cleetus loves ruby too much now lol re realised how nice it is to press one button to go fast af lol
Always remember, kayaking with Leroy.
Cleetus: "we're at 10.9 volts guys"
*rolls up power windows*
Don't know why but that had me in stitches🤣 Great showdown, and awesome spirit all around!
Yeah I was thinking how much current can Cleet pull before it all goes quiet, then he decides to adjust the windows!
But he managed to keep on going and squeezed that battery for all it had!
You have to roll up the windows to make a pass. Saw the lights dude catch a few on that in earliler videos.
@@mattwillard4973 True, just found the timing impeccable!
Turbo John is my dude
Yep, I got my face in a twist when I realized he didn't know Turbo John.
Maybe next year you and your dad can make the trip
He's a good dude
Would love to see you and Tommy enter one of these
I knew id seen him before somewhere.
As if a big block Chevy in an import car running 6 second passes wasn’t American enough, he did it with a Christmas tree on his car!
He takes the win for me just for being able to stuff all that under the hood of an RX7.
Actually, Christmas trees started in Germany in 1747. Americans viewed trees as a pagan symbol, so we didn’t accept them for the longest time.
So if anything the tree makes it less American
@@monroefive-o40 rx7s have huge engine bays... They are known for swallowing up LS's

The problem is, when you make it so big, it gets serious and the whole point of it, the fun, gets lost...
@@1216jimmyz you say that but it can still be huge fun.
Look no matter how serious you try to be having a Christmas tree strapped to your drag car will never be able to take it too serious to have fun.

Commentaries on POINT indeed.

For next year race make everyone who shows up take a Christmas present for a local children hospital or toys for tots!
this right here ^^ great idea & the kids would love to see them roll in the parking lot
The prize AND entry fee go towards buying presents for a kids charity! Make it a pay per view live event and make that go to charity too!
Yes!! Organize a parade to a children's hospital with presents in hand. Get some super good publicity for the sport and the hospital. Sponsors, donations, tv spot on the news, Clete in a santa suit. The sky is the limit!
Next year, have spectators and a new, unwrapped kids present gets you in, like LZ does for his open house.
I feel like they did this one time and had an 18wheeler full of toys to donate. I may be mistaking for different channel but pretty sure was cleet & co

Wonder how many of them went "that ain't going no where" while strumming the traps 😂😂😂
Couple extra clicks
I do believe that is required when lashing anything down to a car/truck. Lol
It’s physically impossible for a man to not say after giving it a few tugs “she ain’t going no where”. It’s only what? Newton’s 3rd or 4th law?
Not a fan of white Christmas trees normally but Kevins looked great. Evey one did awesome.
The fact cleatus lets the other racers shout out there channels and sponsors shows how humble he is.
Car guys: Never use a brush to wash your car!
Also car guys: Let's strap a dry evergreen tree to the roof of our race cars!
Can see on ruby that they have some sort of plastic layer on the roof, sure they thought of that
Cause merica

I have but the cars were designed to do it.
Scared me for a sec, when the ass end dragged it started walking on its hind legs and looked like it wanted to get squirrely!
Such an amazing production. My 6 and 3 year old loved the entire thing. My daughter gave the nod to the gift wrapped roll cage 😆
All this because of a cool friendship and an even cooler track owner
I think James commentating the cars is one of my most favorite parts of this video
Yea he gets your attention on whats coming up to the line and gets me siked up too
Love it!! new record, INSANE wheelie, 200+ mph, and lose an alternator w/ REGULAR BULBS. Awesome event, hella Christmas spirit! 😊🤘🏻

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t just added a second and easily removable battery to his Ram so you can just swap another battery in between rounds as needed or a second battery mount in ruby as well.
@@derek7785 Someone shipped him an odd design battery that is lighter and more powerful than a normal battery. Need to hook it up and try it out.
@@baddriversoflittlerock8359 Yup, it's a custom Lion looks scary, but worth a try ;-)
I seriously think that Cleetus should take ruby's engine out and have Texas Speed check everything on the engine. Maybe it has some bends and imperfections in the block.
@@costdelta3705 What he really needs is a high output, low mass alternator that works at idle, then not turning it a bazillion rpms.
Went last night and met up with my son and daughter was in Fort Lauderdale from Kansas City working in Fort Lauderdale. My son drove down from work in Pulatka, FL where he is welding on a power plant there and my daughter was down from Kansas City working in Tampa. We all met up at Bradenton Motor Sports Park and had an absolute BLAST! Have been watching your videos for years and love what you’ve built!!! Was a great show with a lot of great fans! We had a blast and will be back for many more events!
201mph with a Christmas tree on top kinda pisses over everyone's obsession with Leroy's aerodynamics slowing him down 😂
I promise you that a Christmas tree is more aerodynamic than leroy 😂😂
It really doesnt though
That Christmas tree is disturbing less air being on top of the car than all the air going into the firewall of Leroy.
Cleetus: "Looks like my mom's house." Hilarious. Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas 🎄
I think I grinned all the way through this! Love this video, this concept, and all the effort that went into the event. Lots of cool cars, and that Falcon was beautiful!
Thank you to all of you! This has been such a terrible year but this event just made Christmas what it supposed to be. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, keep doing it for Dale !
That Falcon is my favorite, so well done.
Cleetus minutes before event, “damn i need a tree”... *looks at pine tree on his lawn grabs chainsaw* XD

I dont understand why everything has to be political. Mind ya business and quit filling people with negativity.
@Colin Mackay They've probably all had rapid result testing done prior to the event.
