Sick dude
🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Hell ya brother!
Keep up the great content love watching you and how much you've grown over the years been watching since the beginning
Are you going to do real oval racing at the freedom factory?
the Trailer Cam is so much better for the timelaps than the window cams
Same. Much better
Agreed!
Agreed 👍
100% is soo good
Ya I'm annoyed by all of it just make the time laps like 10 seconds long I don't need 30 seconds of driving
Can we talk about how much work ol cleeter puts into this stuff? He’s gone from Cleetus and cars, to LS fest, to drag week and now drift night. Dude is a WORK HORSE. And props to Madi for sticking with him and being a partner in all that. Goals right there! Hell yeah brother!
No he is no horse he's a Giraffe don't you know
Even before this he was hitting events left and right. With the freedom 500 and I think a few other things. The man is insane
@@79tazman shoot you’re right. Work giraffe
Success is a hell of a drug
@@79tazman A giraffe is just a long horse
Shout out for “track mom” cheeseburger s and cookies, keeps the team rolling . Keep safe all.
Who ever you are, thanks mom for keeping our boys fed!
❤❤🙏🙏
one guy looked like Whistlin Diesel body double in the background that scene :D
God Bless your track Mum ❤️
Always a good thing to have a “Track Mom” who not only made you Cheeseburgers but gave Oatmeal Cookies for the road trip. Track Mom your the best!
Cleet gotta be the only homie who sees a Blackstone in someone's car and is like OH!!!
He's a real one.
Big Blackstone guy
Was literally thinking that same thing haha cleet is quick to give reviews on products lol 😆
As an example of how far automotive technology has come when I was a kid funny cars were running the 1/4 mile times Mullet is almost capable of... and no way a funny car was able to travel thousands of miles on the street dragging a trailer much less. Heck I think they needed rebuilds after each run and went through a few gallons on a run. Plus they were loud enough to hear for 20 miles. Just amazing what is going on now with this sport. So glad it is still alive and kickin. Drag racing is as American freedom as it gets. But if you told someone back in the day your street car could run 6's or 7's in the 1/4 you would have been laughed out of the neighborhood. Yet it is real now. Heck pro stocks were running 10s back then.
I'm really digging that trailer angle and seeing the El Co rather than the window view.
Agree cool prospective
agreed as well
Definitely
Absolutely great
yes!
I hope Kevin takes a couple days off and goes to the beach with his daughters. Guy needs some time off after this last month.
More than deserved, that man does a lot. I have a friend like that and I keep in constant contact with him
Well as a father of daughters myself, I can promise you that taking them to the beach isn't as "relaxing" as you might initially suspect. Especially in thier teenage years. You spend half the time begging them to put more cloths on, and the rest of it glaring at gawkers and suspected perverts.
@@codylapoint There's a point where being so much of a helicopter / strict parent makes them wanna rebel even more. It's good to educate girls so they know how to tell who the bad boys are, and praise them when making good decisions.
"We forgot that John Force has touched the car and it's making all that extra horsepower" 🤣
That turbo is making 50psi on it's own now 🤣
Gonna have to file down a bit of that Force on the turbo housing. Who would ever guess that Force + Bald Eagles = exponential boost and wheel spin.
Cleetus will never wash that turbo. lol
May the Force be with you.
@@corbingreiner9879 I wouldn't!!..from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe
You definitely wanted that last pass bad, glad it worked out.
Can we just stop and talk about how reliable those Texas speed engine's they're awesome 😎💪👊😎
“Kevin was really focused on the car” yeah we can tell😂😂
zooms into the sky lmao
Don't ever change Kevin... So focused on the car he was filming the sky 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure he saw a bald eagle fly overhead, the camera just missed it!
I appreciated that tbh, I know it's not the most "content" but it shows where his head is at and his head is at winning and speed and it shows in his build and the el co is a unit.
So true lol
He was also filming with two separate cameras so it's definitely understandable
James calm down we all know u are annoyed u have been left out of this trip and he took kev instead...
The dual coverage of Kevin doing the wrenching and Cleet doing the driving is awesome. Thanks guys!
Two lane blacktop style
The trailer cam looks like a caped crusader just zooming around spreading joy lol
I love how the timelaps background song has been around for like 6 years and hasn't changed a bit lol
I was coming here to say the exact same thing. It’s the perfect jam for the time lapse portions of crisscrossing back and forth through the Midwest in Mullet/Leroy/Ruby. Turbos, warm air through the open windows, ripping past miles of open fields. It’s so perfect and makes me even more anxious to get my own car done and FINALLY do a drag & drive event!
Can we just appreciate the time and effort that Cleetus and Kevin both put into times like these?
A full day of so much mental and physically taxing work, and then the highs and lows of the passes, and then to drive 300 miles for hours and hours, getting all these camera shots and working on things for the next day, just to finally get to their spot for the night EXHAUSTED... just to edit the video for the next day before resting.
And then they do it all over again, and again, and again.
WE LOVE YOU TWO.
its a shame edgewater was a rainout but it did give them time get things in order
Agreed. So much work these guys are putting in this week. It almost feels like I’m there with them.
Their work ethic is incredible. I hope they feel how much we appreciate them. Hope they FREAKING take a week off after this, but only because they deserve it.
Kevin is one of those guys that has endless amounts of knowledge that no one would ever begin to imagine that is so useful. I wish I could spend a day with him and Cleetus it would be so awesome.
Imagine him and Steve Magnante just talking about cars and shit. Brain would fizzle between the knowledge they both exude. And both seem like totally standup guys too!
I miss James humour on the videos. And if the team was to come to New Zealand it would mean james and kevin on the video DYI on the cars we have down under.
Bow to your Sensei!
I love how confident he is as well in everything he does, truly inspirational, amazing dude all round.
Kevin is seems like such a nice guy, and he is great at building racecars, man do I love Mullet. Great job you guys! And Cleetus is an animal, going on a raceweek and straight back to the FF for driftnight... what a guy... much respect.
100%!
If you haven't watched the build series on his channel, it's definitely worth it. He pays attention to literally every tiny detail, even when it seemed like it didn't matter that much. Now we see the final product, all those details are 100% worth it
Lol check out jayztwocents channel he also does automotive stuff on jayztwocars. But it’s Kevin’s fat doppelgänger. The mannerisms are pretty close lol
Kevin is the funniest cameraman. You can tell everything he is doing by how the camera moves
That zoom in to the sky was hilarious 🤣
Mullet literally has John Force DNA.
I would love to see a collaboration between Cleetus and Destin from smarter every day on the science behind launching a drag car
That’s a great idea!
Yesssss
Ooh! They could do a whole series on drag car science!
Upvote!!
I’m so glad cleetus is on youtube for younger kids to look up to and idolize he is such a genuine person on or off camera. He truly loves his fans and is no different person to a stranger or his friends. Great video and great driving as usual and coming from a grandfather I’m so glad my grandson looks up to you and loves watching all your videos
Thought the drivers side storage panel cover was going to tear off on the last pass. It was flapping sooooo hard.
Yeah, I'm sure that had to be part of the reason that pass was so squirrely..? Maybe?
Just the wings trying spread to take flight man
@@tacojay5617 That had noting to do with it, he spun the tires which made it lose tractions so he was basically driving on ice at that point.
Tires spun, shaking car which probably caused panel to shake loose
was wondering if that was chute starting to peek out, thanks.
Nice Kevin. "I'm gonna go check"
There would be a lot of people still around enjoying life if a few more co-pilots had said (and done) that!
I really want to see a Grand Tour special where the Clarkson, Hammond and May do one of these drag events with Cleetus and his buddies and then end with them participating in the Freedom 500! Hammond has to bring Oliver with that small block v8 he was planning on putting in it! It would cool on so many levels, but especially because it would be a meeting of traditional TV with the world of UA-cam on a bigger level than DriveTribe.
I don't know why cleet would want to bring himself down like that. Those guys are just corporate promoted hacks. They would never have made it on their own like Garrett and the crew.
Still on drag week talking about drift night tomorrow at the freedom factory all right after the month of freedom daily videos... Hardest working man on UA-cam. Keep up the good work cleet
x2 He will be right back on a plane and at FF, with no rest at all. Hopefully, he gets to take a break after this weekend.
"upgrade that hard shell unit to a Doritos Locos" That is hilarious i'm going to start ordering like that
Unit !
I love how Cleet had to celebrate mid run once Mullet finally hooked lol
The car shifts itself, so he is having that freedom of movement now, no h patterns to shuck
Lets all agree Kevin is a great guy who knows his shit and definitely wouldn’t mind him in more videos ( Or him taking leroy for a rip!)
I really like y'all's chemistry. Y'all are actual friends and have a good time. Instead of focusing on views and content, you're documenting a good time.
And they always have been like that
One of those electric leaf blowers might pay off for dewatering the car next race week. Even make a little 90° or 180° bend so you can get up under the fenders.
Plus dry bags for everything in the bed.
Scott Rods, HUGE supporter of the Gasser community. Not surprised they opened up their garage.
I don’t think there’s anything more relaxing than that road trip montage music
Probably my least favourite part of the video's to be honest
I wish I knew the name of that song, I like it.
Darude-sandstorm
Cleet, my wife says she doesn’t wanna hear all the excuses. Just run more 7’s! 😂😂😂 We watch your videos together all the time! 🤘🏼
Hell ya sounds like you got you a keeper right there buddy.
GPS: "In 271 miles turn right to exit Lucas Oil Raceway."
Damn that place is huge.
i dont know why but hearing kevin say "what the crap" just felt right...
Lol
That should be a T-shirt Kevin saying: "what the crap" with Mullet skirtin sideways, lol.
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication "What The Crap" T-shirt @ Kevin, make i happen, lol.
Cleeter and Kev, you two are admirable beyond belief - you did the right thing, never give up! I see on a lot of today's videos, everybody were complaining about the crap track.
Also, thanks for listening, and taking our advice on the trailer camera angle, it's awesome! (Might wanna add a Motion Raceworks sticker across the bedcover or wing? :)
A Train horn gun is the greatest thing I never realized I needed.
Thanks for reminding me
The Hell ya say😂😂😂
Let's just face it: It's only a matter of time before Cleetus buys a real helicopter
He better hire a mechanic to work on it. Way too many parts and they all want to tear each other apart.
Owning an aircraft is not as easy as just buying one. You have to be certified to fly, you have to have certified maintenance, etc. All of that is very expensive. That's why even the rich rent helicopters instead of buying them
@@justaguynamedmax8207 If it flies or floats rent it.
@@bubbathedog7625 damn straight
Mullet is begging for a giant freedom factory sticker on that bed cover
it needs a wrap of the actual freedom factory track from a birds eye view. would look cool AF
It needs a giant American Flag rippling in the wind sticker!!!! Maybe a bald eagle carrying olive branches and turbos. Possibly both .-.
It's only fitting that he uses this car as his street car race car. El Camino means The Road.
It should be eagle wings shaped like a Trans Am hood decal with a big FF in the middle.
@@danielwilliams334 I love the nardo grey on it but yea it's gotta rep FF somewhere!
You can hear the tiredness in cleeters voice at the end, fairplay to him going into the hotel afterwards editing late at night to keep the content flowing 🇺🇸🇺🇲🌎🏴🏴
I’m watching from wales too 🤘🏼
Cleetus, don’t forget to always put your helmet visor down dude. Tom Bailey’s fire incident is testament to how important that is.
"always"? I don't think I've ever seen him put it down lol
@@nitro2199 he did in the last couple of hits. The first two he didn’t, and does often forget. Lol.
I bet that’s the first time that girl at Taco Bell has heard someone refer to a taco as a “unit” 😂
I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone noticed, glad to see I'm not the only one
Adressing things as " a unit" is realy catching on. Boisted Boiz, Adam LZ, Taylor Ray I heard them all calling things a unit 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 i cracked up on that one😂
Haha, yeah I'm finding myself calling stuff a unit lately too. My daughter's always give me a hard time about it! Good stuff...
But I am sure she's heard someone make mention of their unit and her taco,....
You know its a rough track day for everyone if Sick Seconds 1.0 is struggling, lol.
Also, I say the exhaustion in both of yalls eyes at the end. I just want to say thank you for the daily content, we absolutely do appreciate every single video to the fullest.
Improvise, adapt and overcome! Nice. Finding a track mom on the road, priceless.
youtube is getting real comfortable with these quadruple double no skip ads
Update for $10.00
@@brayanmeza12 nah screw that I’ll close out the app and reload before i buy youtube premium or whatever it’s called
@@Sutliff01 not sure is this trick still works as I've had premium for awhile, but what I used to do was skip to the last like 20 seconds of a video wait for it to finish then hit the restart icon and it will clear all the ads on the video
@@Spooky.Fish. if you have android look into youtube vanced, it replaces the youtube app with a modded version that skips all the ads for free. will also skip sponsor segments in videos too if someone has marked them already
When I’m full screen I never get ads. It’s only when it’s on regular screen which is odd.
2 things:
The background laugh at the fill station when Cleet talks about their speed..
At the end when he says “now its time to edit”.
So much “knowing” in those moments, lol.
I don’t get it
Gotta love Kevin. I’m a firm believer in “birds of a feather flock together” and “you attract the lifestyle you live”. Cleetus, Kevin, Brent, and James, all stand up guys 💯
That trailer cam is where it’s at for them cruising the interstate shots.
I think I speak for everyone we really like that ur so dedicated to getting these amazing videos out for use ever day cause ur living the dream we can't right now
Ever since John Force put his print on the spooli boi cleetus has been taking his burnouts to the full 60 like a true American 😂
Force taught him something 🤷♂️
Yep noticed that. Since the magic fingerprint the truck is too powerful to hook up anymore.
Should add though once it does hook up Mullet might be knocking on 6 second passes lol.
When he was saying hello to mullet during the start up, was expecting to hear Hal say " hello Dave" back to him
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"
I was thinking “Good morning Michael”
As long as it doesn't say......"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that", it'll be fine......
It doesn’t matter what corner of motorsport you’re playing in.....
Fact is: Track moms rule!!🙏❤️
That Elco build fresh out of the shop is so solid. Kevin and his crew have some major talent. No car should be that fast and reliable from the start. Enjoy it Cleet!
Indiana Police Officer here. The amount of “reckless driver” reports the State Police took from the racers heading back to Ohio cracked me up. “Observe for a black Lamborghini in excess of 130mph”
Don’t get too mad at us. That’s just us driving as sedately as we can manage.
Could y'all do something about the actual reckless drivers?
Yea cops like to link going fast to driving reckless. There are a few who actually are. Most of us just have sensitive gas pedals 😄
@@Lofi.z34 Its actually the people who report them who link speeding to reckless driving. Police often get to bear the burden of the public opinion without having to agree with it :)
130 is reckless...Ive seen a stratus RT doing 145 on I94 ;)
Between your high-angle front windshield cam and Kevin's ground-level launch cam, you guys are killing it with the footage.
I don’t think people realize how much Cleetus works to bring us all this amazing content.
“Upgrade that hard shell unit to a Doritos locos ...” I’m dead bro! 😂
I love that you guys record all this with drag week. Only adds fuel to my motivation to get my build started. Ls swapping an 82 Malibu Classic. A 4 door sleeper.
I love seeing this race format at Midwest Drag Week and Rocky Mountain Drag week. It’s so much more relatable and inspiring for car enthusiasts. I love seeing Mullet with Tom’s Camaro so much.
Kevin killed it with the elco. He built a true monster streetcar
Absolutely love the freaking Florida man accent: “Doereetoes Low-cohz”
had me cracking up at "hardshell unit"
Garrett is from Nebraska.
@@Chokum same 😂🤣
@@rustyshackelford1483 Cleeter may be from Nebraska. But he was BORN a FLORIDA MAN!!!!!!!!!
@@daniellee100 ...wow, the public school system sure has failed you.
If he's from Nebraska, how could he also be "born a Florida man"?!
Loved Kevin's little" bye" at the end of the vid😂🤣
Baaaeeh! lolz
You guy's have won your class, done all this driving, wrenching, AND editing. LEGENDS!!!!
“Cleetus, why do you do longer burnouts than you used to?”
“Well, when you look at this turbo right there, you’ll see John Force’s fingerprint”
Toss in a clip of james we miss him
Agreed 😂
Hahaha love that dude, hopefully he’s getting a break!
He doesn’t have to be in every video…
@@FishFind3000 did anyone say he had to be?
He's working on the Nova with DrTuneEmAll
Every dad everywhere - dang that's some nice grass ya got there.
I laughed out loud when Kevin was focused on the car and the camera went to the clouds 😂
Don’t know why but I thought he was trying to focus on a plane or something I started looking for one lol
This duo is great i love it, it's like a huge coop mission around the world within 30 days.
So much respect to cleet and the boys! Straight from one of the hardest weeks in racing to running your own drift show and his own track! Nothing can stop him

Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see the Elco make a fast rip on a radial prepped track!
Definitely want to put weatherstrip on the frackin bed cover panels. Maybe even some drains in the front of the bed cover to keep water from pooling and draining into the bed.
Also, drain holes or filler for the lip in front of the rear tires where the water drips out and might be causing them traction problems.
Florida drag cruise. Bradenton, Gainesville, Orlando, Daytona international speedway pit road, maybe west palm. Let's make it happen
Just up and get South Georgia too
I was thinking Florida Georgia Alabama Louisiana back to Florida
I was thinking south Georgia motorsports park too
@@traviscoxracing yep
22:20 80... we had be going faster than that to catch you after you passed our house! Glad we got your approval.
The lady at the time slip booth ALWAYS has a smile! Glad you thank them too!
Was watching this live yesterday, the track was eating everyone up, i think the best ran if I remember right was a high 7 all day.
That carbon fibre hatch lid held together well, that quick turnaround the latches were forgotten 😬.
Also gotta be careful with that race suit, they aren't as efficient and can cause severe steam burns when wat if anything goes wrong.
Ok safety Sally
@@ballzout9447 found the guy who thinks 3rd degree burns are cool
@@ballzout9447 Wanna try?
By the looks of it it was not only mullet is was everyone the Rain Fubared the whole race track lets hope Ohio is nice and dry and can crank it up to get those 6 second runs in and maybe even win that Nova
Yea... those were *not* good conditions for a solid pass by any means. Even Tom Bailey had problems
The entire week has been screwed by rain. Not the best drag week ever that's for sure.
I have to say, all of cleetus’ cars are a huge add for Texas speed. It’s amazing what these engines can do
Absolutely loved the drive after the race. I can't believe that car has the the temper for the track and the ease for the street at the same time.
John Force only touched one turbski he needs to touch the other one so they produce matching power you turbos are all katywompus.
Me, having a bad day - :(
Me, after listening to wholesome Cleetus montage music - :)
I like the montage music :-)
Hope your day gets better brother.
Hope your day gets better
Yepp. In hospital for my weekly drip of meds. Came home and Cletus and Kevin were there to cheer me up. Perfect road trip musical vibe.
they used to play that song on LA Machines channel years ago always liked it
Santa doesn't have a sleigh, it's Tom Bailey in his Camaro.
Kevin's the sort of guy you need in situations like that. Knows a crapload and doesn't get frustrated or annoyed. Just looks for answers and solutions.
"update that hardshell unit to a Doritos locos" had me dying
He's in such a great mood despite wearing a soaking wet fire suit. What a unit! 🤣
It sucks to see cleetus struggle but this was a great test for mullet. It looks like mullet might be more dependable than neighbor. We can only hope. Bring us home a win!
Hard to be more dependable than neighbor.
While it sucks to see them frustrated It's good to see that Kevin is human and still struggles like the rest of us sometimes.
Every pass had been perfect from the get go. I can't ever think of anything I've built that worked "right" all the time, especially at first.
Good news is that it was responding to their changes, track looked in rough shape after the rain that morning and hard to keep it right with that many “street” cars and cars in general. Mullet is gonna fly on a good track and conditions!
@@2005StangMan as always the car drove straight, even on the burn outs.
Thank you for always going the extra mile, no pun intended, and editing all your footage so we can keep watching everyday.👍
“Upgrade that hard shelled unit to a dorito locos”. Bout had me in tears I wonder what was going through her mind when she heard that
At least "track Mom" was on her prep game.
"We forgot John Force touched the car and it added all that power" HAHA
I love the interaction with Tom. It's like Cleet's cool uncle or something.
Right , Tom seems like a really cool guy
The fact that you kept that last clip in out a smile on my face. Yall are working hard and deserve what you got. You and your whole crew are troopers.
Don't know what it is, but that cruisin' music never gets old.
Has that Allman Brothers/Marshall~Tucker Band vibe to it...Southern rock/country...love it!
Its cause John Force Touched Your Turbo... Its in FULL FREEDOM MODE
Bruh who ever makes that train horn drill thing should start selling them 😎
I'd buy one (vice grip voice) RIGHT NOW!
Just build one, it's cake!
Even though the daytime content feels like a vacation career during the day, the late night editing must be grueling work when your whipped from the day. Congrats on the success, and hope you can balance it all out so it is sustainable for a long career!!!.
Loved watching you run yesterday! So awesome seeing you cruising along roads that I know well, and thanks for the high five on the return road after your last pass!
bois were battling hard!! all they needed was a Track mom and some weight. BUT the heart they have is incredible!! Good job bois
