True 240 owner right there with the under glow to assist in night time axle changes
I love that shit - that's a thinking man right there.
lmao
I LOL'd so hard at that part!
Boom, underglow...
Now that makes sense.
Cleetus: “This just proves that Cooper and I are better mechanics.
James: “I get paid by the hour.”
Perfect response! 😂😂😂😂
Cletus should have held up the hundy and said "not this hour".
James might be slower to build engine all your nuttsewere tight down not like cleetus who left his loose for you to check as in the shop!!!!....James your car was whipping the arses ..peace n love guys...
It honestly makes me so happy to see James get some clean passes. HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Made my day!
0:25 That moment when you're street racing, but regular traffic in front of you is going faster. CLASSIC.
First run I've ever seen James make without snapping an axle!
I was a litle disepointed
Is shocking.
@Cobra Black nö nevar. A spel hou aver a whant.
Just like Joe Casper said in his own comment, that could be the reason he has underglow: "... to assist in night time axle changes" he said XD
Colin Mccrash a true rebel
That engine building competition was similar to the ones they used to have at the Brisbane Motorshow and other shows back in the 80's. With those competions they used the old Ford v4 engine. The engine was completely torn down to a bare block. They had to assemble the motor completely, install and set the distributor and fit the fuel pump and carburetor and actually make it start and run. It was always great to watch.
yea, we had 250 fords & 202 holdens out west. from memory they had to run a minimum of 20 sec but they had no oil or sumps. I was actually thinking of the exact same comps as you while watching this. #motorvation94 #westozlads #auspride
come to think of it, I think the record was somewhere around the 4 min range, could of been 6 min but I seem to remember 4 min something... mind you, im an old cunt & "the old grey mare aint what she used to be"! If you can confirm/deny that mark i'd love to know. I'm sure if I spent a few hours cruising through my over 300 street machine mags I could find it, but hey, I only got so much time and way too many projects! ;) peace bud & go au!
@@scroatworx2339 . Yeah I think your correct There. I do remember the record being 4 minutes something.
But as you say it's a long time ago. Cheers Mate.
Ha
We had that at tafe (trade school)
Old Mazda 4cyl Deisels
Fully disassemble them clean check clearances and reassemble
Not propose to be a race but it was of course
Putting grease in the oil pump and no oil on the bores or rings so it builds oil pressure super quick and doesn't smoke at all on startup
Because looking good was better than doing it right haha
James car is freaking stupid fast omg I did not expect that
Lilwill Newell with the knowledge James has I was just waiting for it too make a full pass
All I keep saying in my head was my god it left so hard 😂
He just needs a rear end in that car
Im pretty sure half of his resume was a time slip from that car, saying i built and tuned it myself, had my wife record it leave and went as fast as 1.2 60 foot. Yea i can scooba dive.
Thats to the 8th mile
Everybody mechanic knows doing stuff the right way takes. longer.
You got a good one.
JAMES, GET THE TOOLBOX!
This channel just brings me general happiness. Thanks for that
GamingWithChief same. only downfall is waiting for the next video to post
So true, if I’m having a bad day I can always count on Cleetus to cheer me up
Great way to start a Saturday.
Facts! One of the few channels I consistently follow.
Kermit of Rivia Already beat ya to it. Got two shirts in the mail last week
Every time James makes a hit, his eyes go wide open. He does it in ruby, and the 240. It just show how hard those car launch
I'd noticed that as well 🤣🤣
100% focus, James in Yoda mode or pure game face.
The vid for James to grow a mullet hit 200k here comes James’s
Mullet
First time I seen a pass from the 240 where the axle didn't snap!!!!
Alexander Saavedra yes
axle.... axel used to front for guns n roses!
@@scroatworx2339 oof lol 🙄😅😂
James has the lights in the back so when he changes axles at night he doesn’t need the extra lighting 😂
That might be true XD
I didn't think of that 😂😂 🤣 bro
Gonna say the same thing - like an underbonnet (hood) light for engine (motor) work at night.
Aidan how much nitros does James run?
Best comment 😂😂😂
I got a tear rollin down when James made the full pass😢
Was it a UA-cam first? I think maybe. Thing's running GOOD.
I was eating at double dogs and turned around 2 smart cars racing and was dying laughing lmao who would of known it was y’all!
That's fucking hilarious! lmao
bullshit
You will go to hell for lying
@@ryanhill5618 you cant know he's lying, stuff like that just happens sometimes
@@Edigor100 we cant KNOW but we choose to believe our own version
Next video "Our next project is a hayabusa powered Smart"
There's a smart car with a V8 in it that's setup for drag racing
Turbo hayabusa smart on UA-cam called “diablo smart car”
dont have to be a smart.. some small opel and vw engines can use it.
ua-cam.com/video/arOqFsfJyrc/v-deo.html
could also be cool with a retro build prntscr.com/p471jy
Techguy there's smart car with a jet engine in the passenger seat
Little did jeremy know
We knew Leroy would perform. But i'm REALLY happy to see the 240 make some good strong FULL passes! Way to go, James!
“Are those the fastest hands south of the mason dixon”😂😂😂😂😂
I have never seen a full video of the 240 not breaking, and looking like a boss. Congrats
I was there Friday but didn't get to see you all race. I got there too late for your morning run and I left before dark. But I did get to meet and talk to James, he is just as nice in person as he seems to be in the videos. What great mechanic, racer, and member of your team.
That smart car race was as long as a fast and the furious race!
He needed to shift it 73 times and hit the NOS button for it to be a true fast and furious race
LOL James' gas door flap switch is the Axle Checker 3000 Lighting System :-)
1:32 That was actually, a pretty inspirational quote.
DJBATMANGOLD yea he took it from pastor Joel osteen from Lakewood church in Houston Texas
ua-cam.com/video/_3FD5c62Z_g/v-deo.html
Stolen but great quote none the less
@@carlosramos7781 that's where I heard it b4 too but none the less 👍🏼
LSFest was a blast and worth the 24 hour round trip from Maryland. Cleetus, Cooper, James, and company: You guys are always nice in person. Thanks for the racing, videos, and being all around good people.
James lost some time during the mock engine build off looking for the nitrous rails!
T shirt idea: Picture of James's 240 purging at the tree with a caption that says "fog it and bog it"
Can't walk around with chickens and expect to soar with the Bald Eagles 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Had the time of my life at ls fest today, got to meet cletus and the gang and watch both cars make a rip! What a damn good day!
James installed those underbody lights so he can see while changing axles at night
i love how instantly the moment the pass is over james is already narrating how things went....
Underglow is pretty smart. Next time he breaks an axle at night he can find all the pieces
Alex Hill and if he loses he can say "cmon man my underglow was on!"
when cooper actually does laugh it’s kinda contagious 😂😂😂
was the smart car race on us19? im 99% sure im the red genesis you passed lmao.
That would be hilarious to see in real time XD
Snupey this needs more likes a replies so they respond.
A stock Smart actually passed another vehicle?!
To be passed by a stock smart car would be so embarrassing, i feel for ya bro.
well u would know ur car? and also u would know the street? and maybe u would know if 2 smart cars passed?
@25.02 I heard Leroy say "Brace yourself Cleet!" When did he start talking? Leroy is my spirit animal.
Cleetus needs to be the fastest stick shift corvette again
He was the fastest that night.. it's extremely extremely unlikely to be a consistent 7s stick car with the way track prep and DA changes...
Needs to be the fastest stick shift anything. Prove to the world that aero don't matter if you're a true savage!
@@wesw9586 thing is, aero does matter.
@@alexisjavier84 dammit I know that lol. Just gotta think like a savage. Just make a lil more boost and let 'er eat.
@@wesw9586 But it's also less weight. Having no body on his car makes it a lot lighter than a full bodied Vette would be.
Very nice James! Cool to see all your hard work with this new combo coming together. Dang theres some quick cars in that stock block class. Strong stickshift class as well. Bring home two big checks boys!
7:58
"It's gonna be fast"
-James realizing his hard work paying off, while simultaneously being afraid of what it can do
Saw this video this morning and it inspired me to race! First time at the drag strip today and ran a 9.58 1/8th mile in my stock Focus ST. Oh, and I wore my Cleetus dad bods shirt to the track so everyone knew I meant business. I LOVE you boys!!
#NotificationGangGang
Been watching ol’ Cleetur since he loaded up the lawnmower up in Kyle’s unicorn.
Like if you been here that long.
Ever since he showed off his Camaro and it's giant tire turbos
Been here since they were just 1320 crew.
Been here since he was hooking up duck calls to his cars
Been here from 1320 crew and the introduction of a Cletus.
It wasn't the Unicorn...it was his C6 ZR1....If you are gonna claim to be an OG, at least get the facts correct...smh
Great to see James actually put some times down, Leroy looking fast too. Just need all the little things to come together with Leroy and the world record will be re-captured.
It makes me sad that leroy hasn’t got a 7 in a long time😐
...To be tomorrow's video. Leroy is better than ever and rock solid. Good old skool break in on that roadtrip race in Colorado.
It'll be indestructible to a point. If we can get the mechanic to plug in the plug wires properly.
James 240 out the box like a gawd dang jet plane.
-George has to be ready 24/7. Cleeter could pop a "Question of the Day" on him at any moment
-Jeez, Leroy putting down low 8's right off-rip
-James 240 finally make a full pass - or 3
-how to get Cleetus and Coop to build you two engines XD
-'Vette vs 'Vette. Leroy vs Roy-Lee (XD) Basically the same car it all comes down to the drivers.
‘We’re doing 50’ Jesus I lost it 😂
Right now Toast is watching saying "ha those are cute numbers Leroy's running"
Tbh I think Leroy will be quite a bit faster than toast bc toast isnt a drag car
Toast is a skid car not a drag car but i recommend Garrett should race it
Toasts motor in leroy would be perfect ... But the weight however ....
James eyes after his pass we’re just like omg I’m at the other end of the track and I can drive it back. So proud his axles didn’t break!! Been waiting to see what this car can actually do when it gets past the start!
That little baby mullet is looking cute.
when james was lining up, kept saying to myself " please don't break an axle, please don't break an axle !" nice first run James, thumbs up mate ! :)
I love the helmet go pro! It gives a crazy sense of speed
I favorited the video as soon as I saw that.
yeah I agree. it lets you feel the race
James last pass. Literally text book. Clean as can be.
Got home with my whattaburger, Cletus uploads a video.. what else can I say ? HELL YEAH BROTHER
Dcboy1337 mushroom swiss ftw brother
Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger FTW
Jose Vega never had it. Is it worth the try?
@@nateg7384 oh yeaah!!
You should put a return spring on that handbrake, it looks like it's dragging the brake all the way down the track.
paul beenis your not understanding he’s saying the brake is slightly engaged while going down the track
paul beenis the handbrake is for launching not safety
Finally some racing content. That 240 is a monster!
"Probably uses a D battery for weight reduction" 😂😂😂
You skipped over James letting air out of your tire for an hour on the line!🤣 Great run James.
Cleetus with a Camera: Perfectly comfortable.
Cleetus with a microphone, in front of people: Full Introvert
🤣 Love ya BROTHER! 'MERICA!
How to get more Texas Speed sponsor money: race a faster c5 that's Brian Tooley
Been watchin the ol cleeter since the muffler whistle days. Now this is the best car channel on UA-cam. It's crazy how things turned out.
I caught em and the turbocharged ram with the duck whistle blow off valve lol
LEROY AND THE 240 YESSSSSSSS!!!
240 is really loud gawd damn
Nice James smart racing goes rounds and gets to finals! I'm proud of you James!🦅🇺🇸🦅
More of the 240 man. Bad ass car. Sounds awesome Sound if it’s own
I can finally see the mullet forming a little!
By spring time It'll Be Full Out Mullet's...
Nothing like watching some classic cleetus videos. You need to bring back George’s quote of the day.
Cleetus should put an LS in a smart car🇺🇸🇺🇸
6 second car right there
More like put a smart car in an ls
Hell yeahh....
@Seth Decker Maybe awd would solve that
He would be sitting on the motor
Hell yeh James 💪🏻🔥💪🏻🔥
I love how wide eyed you get 😂😂 the focus is real!
Mom and Dad tought him well. Soo happy to see the 240 doing well. Mama James proud.
I want to see Leroy with a custom made body, maybe he could take back the record with some aerodynamics
I am so happy to see James having some clean runs without issues and that fast. Good job guys!!
RPM ain't no joke love watching the professional craftsmanship they perform on cars
James driving his car: "didn't want to melt anything"
James driving anyone else's car: "floor it ms crabs?"
pretty sad when you are street racing and have zero chance at getting pulled over for speeding...lol
#hondalife lol
You get a ticket for impeding traffic instead.
Thats better, cant get arrested so you can keep racing lol
Bowling green cops don’t play😂 they will pull you over sum trust me
Cleetus's Mullet is going to be #FLOWING for Summernats 2020!!! 🇺🇸🇦🇺
If the 240 were a quarter mile car, Leroy would have some competition!
they both to cheap for ceramic racing plugs and cables, cleetus and james 8 secs and melted, NASCAR 4 hours, le mans 24 hours
Dumb question, was that 5.50 he ran in this video a eighth mile run or quarter mile?
1/8th mile
Joseph ok, was about to say that’s one hell of a 1/4 mile run hahah
the 240 would run a 8.3 quarter if it could keep up all the way
Great job James! Happy to see the 240 finally holding up!
Is that james’ lights for changing the axles? Lol
Love Garrett, really do.. And his 24/7 bong-eye just adds to the laid-back charm.
You guys are parked right where we use to park back when running the all Harley drags with the AMRA. Good luck everyone with the Cleetus Crew 👍✌️
HUGE respect for putting the hours in to make such a professional and thoroughly enjoyable video while you're THIS busy - ditto Rocky Mountain Race week, love how much you want to share what's going on asap - it's probably a drag racer thing, you be all "how fast can I get this video out? NOT FAST ENOUGH! FASTER" lol. The wind tunnel video - one of the funniest things I've ever watched - said you're a couple of hundred bald eagles behind the eight ball vs a bodied C5 so if you win this, you're even more awesome than we all think - so cool that your opposition is a good guy, hopefully you two see-saw each other to LOW sevens over the next few years before you decide this is childish and step up to the El Camino lol. GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!!
Leroy sounds like completely different after the clutch for whatever reason
DERP glad I’m not the only one who thought that
It's because he was on 7 cylinders lol and then blew the spark out when he hit the scramble button...
Awesome video. Great to see Leroy back at it, and awesome to see James ripping the 240 like a pro. That ride hooks and books. James is using the hyperdrive from the millennium falcon!
110% need to do a stupid smart car build now ;D
Somebody from Puerto Rico put a hyabusa engine in one
Jean-Paul Gonzalez got to try and find a way to put a ls in it 😂
so happy to see the 240 finally make a FULL PULL !!!!!
James vs Leroy!!!!! Give it to us clettus the fans wanna see it!! Lol good job that 240 is sick!!
Phillip Muse - yeah, would have to be 1/8th mile. James isn’t geared for the 1/4. It would be an interesting race. James would likely get out on Cleetus and then try to hold against Leroy’s top end charge.
Leroy episodes are by far my favorite. All other ones are cool but Leroy takes the cake!
Damn that 240 STOOD UP
Love nitrous cars for that reason
James can’t wait to see the Nova in action. Good luck in the stock block class. And Cleetus bring home a win in the stick class
Need that police scanner so you don't get caught going too slow.
I've seen 2 smart cars pulled over for going over the speed limit on the highway lol. We have a super steep hill and it's 45mph, fuckers fly down that hill cause no control 😂 it's like 13% grade
12GaugeNick 😂😂😂😂😂
12GaugeNick underrated comment
12GaugeNick 45mph on the highway 🤔 🧐
@@macsmitty1171 u know what i meant by 45 on the highway lmao
LOL. . .
"Using a Razor-Blade. . . as a pry-bar.. . Country-pause. . . Yeah, we've all done that!"
Jesus that little car janes built was mental was not expecting that to be honest 10/10
7:15😂😂😂 seeing that staff guy ripping off on that lil moped made me laugh so hard lol
James breaks axles so often he installed axle changing lights?
The whole thing about you guys is that it looks like you're having fun and that is what its all about great job on all your runs
Remember when Cleetus was stoked just to hit 9s at Streetspeed 717s event.. shit got serious quick lol
i was there for that. That was the loudest i heard the crowd that day.
Mr Free1 • 18 years ago yes
Seems like that track has one hell of a dip at the top end before the traps. Speed bump! Good video man
I need to hang around James for a couple months so I can watch and and gain some knowledge.
Just stop by the garage, make sure not to call first, they love surprise visitors!
George's quote at 1:32 NEEDS to go on a t-shirt!!!
I bet the other guy broke your record because he has his body panels
@Big Rock that might hurt him if he races in the middle of the day and those Long drives, heat is a engine worst enemy
Cleetus needs to learn how to lay carbon fiber to build himself some aero bits.
He could stunt some late model dirt track style body panels
@@Bryaniskey true but make them dettached for said reason
Do it the American way and make more power
That 240 brings tears to my eyes watching that. It's a bad boy. You cut that tree like a pro.
Does anyone else notice when cleatus presses the brake the two yellow bulbs in front of the car lights up with the rear 😂
about time we got some more good racing on this channel! Have fun guys!
That helmet cam tho. I’m loving the vids keep it up!
