My only regret from this night is that we were so freakin busy and short handed on the track side we didn't get shots of everyone driving. Mainly just my cars because I was hollering at someone to pickup a camera for a short bit. Next time we will have a dedicated film team! Also, shout out to Parker for pulling an all nighter with me to give Rocket a shot even though it didn't work out. It was a freaking awesome weekend regardless!
This was literally the best night of my life. Traveled 12 hours to be there. Overcame my anxiety of traveling and literally changed my life. Thanks cleeter and crew.
Props for beating your anxiety and making the trip. Its easier to stay home and not do anything then it is to get out there and make things happen. but you gotta fight anxiety and do those things otherwise it takes over your life.
I literally can't imagine what it must have felt like for Cleeter to look up at *his* grandstand at *his* race track and see hundreds of people cheering. That has to be surreal.
I can't explain how this makes me feel, there is something so special about race tracks and I see them closing down all around me, you are doing this country an amazing service keep up the great work
The UK's losing race tracks left and right as well as Car Culture slowly being banned through Taxes. It's really good to see one guy make a dream happen in America, maybe we'll get that kind of Freedom in the UK if we just wake up to what we can really do.
@@rhedinrage1601 Same thing here in Canada... retarded people build their house near the track and after complain of the noise..... that's BS. And after that they will complain about people racing in the street...

This was seriously one of the smartest investments ever. Cross promotion, hell of a show for us the enthusiasts and just a positive promotion of all sorts of things motorsports realated. Hell yeah brother.
It really was an excellent idea. If the pandemic hadn't happened then it would be even more so.. But hundreds of thousands of people watch these guys every single day and become part of a family.. People come from all over to go to meet and greets. Cleet doesn't have to do those in parking lots and stuff. Where they get kicked out, and cops come, etc etc. He can host events at an actual race track.. That's his... And everyone can come and take part in the hobby that brought us all together, whilst potentially meeting their favorite UA-camr(s). Excellent idea.
The fact this went from a track that nobody wanted to come to and was loosing money and destined to fail is now one of the most desirable places to be in America right now. Hell Yea Brother!
I live in New Hampshire and we have so many local small tracks struggling to survive. Hoping these type of events restore the racing enthusiasm we once had.
This track doesn’t need to have races and events to support it like it used to. Race tracks that only hold races and such can’t survive on that alone. This is surviving from his UA-cam channel and support.

Can we all say this man literally is the hardest working man out there. Hardest working man on UA-cam. You could see him basically no hours of sleep and still made sure he put on an event and pull strings together to give the people what they want.
Most people wouldn’t understand the work him and his team are putting into this. I’ve watched smaller jobs with more workers drown. Cleetus knows what he’s doing and makes it look easy!
Absolutely true, absolutely awesome. I just wish a bit more (publicly since idk) went into taking care of Parker’s situation since they fucked up on the safety protocols etc. Every time he brings him up I’m hoping for some catch all “make it somewhat right” situation and it just doesn’t happen. I’m sure there is no ill will, and I’m sure Garrett ain’t no tool and hopefully did his best for the guy, but it’s left too much in question. I just would like some closure
Imagine seeing this as your first cleeter video... you’d have no idea this man came from a turbo whistle in the exhaust to this 👀 Keep on setting them bald eagles free 🤘🏼
Yep, or when he “stole” the ZR1 and loaded a free lawn mower into the back of it, yep that’s how long I’ve been here lmao. Kid went from law school to American hero real quick!
I was there and it was a great event! Best drift event i have ever been too! The only things were lighting was not perfect and the sound system didn't reach the end of the stands. (Where i was sitting) Also we wanted more adam tandems!!!!! So fun to watch!! Food was great and I bought a shirt and some stickers!!!
Hopefully he sees this about the audio since its just been redone. But the lights are in progress. Hopefully he made enough from this event to finish hooking it up
Honestly I'm kind of glad there wasn't a lot of footage. Cleetus was out there enjoying the event as much as everyone. Sometimes you don't need a video of what happens, just put the camera down and enjoy your hard work paying off. It was never about the money, it was about having a place to enjoy with friends and saving a track because we are losing so many of them now.
I love this! Cleet and the gang are giving the world exactly what it needs right now. No politics, no race riots, no lockdowns, just human beings joining together and sharing a common interest.
"Not the grass... No, I'm gonna find that guy!!" - Cleetus about his OWN track and lawn. Funny, I never would've thought to hear Cleetus say such things! ;) Respect bro, this track is amazing and I'm thrilled you're living the dream AND inviting everyone to come take part in that dream. See you this summer brother! The Freedom Factory!!
And to think the freedom factory is just getting started. Imagine once the ball is rolling and it's been open for a few years Formula drift being here, circle track racing that it was known for previous coming back, hell even having a yearly event of freedom factory turning to dirt and doing some dirt track racing like bristol does. Can't wait to see the freedom factory in the future
Hey brother, thank you for putting this on for us local drifters. I had an absolute blast and would love to come out again with my LS 240 😂 I hope you hold a Formula Drift event out there one day!

I just want to give a big thank you to Cleetus for putting on such a amazing event!! The Freedom Factory was more than awesome. Can't wait to come back for more!!!
Those crown Vic's be worth some money one day specially the winning ones the one that Brent won in reverse if you could ever get your hands on that would be a great investment cleetus it's gonna be looked upon as one of the biggest legends in years to come you can just tell
Motorsports in general need more people like this cleet and crew have put so much on tge line and put so much back into their sports without just worrying about if it will profit or not keep it up!
I started my LS swap with the maf unplugged, pretty sure they default to speed density when the maf isn't plugged in. Engine management depending I guess.
It's funny how it feels to watch the FF come to life in front of us, it seemed like such a lofty goal, i didnt expect this kind of follow through, very very satisfying.
People can say what they want about Fords, but ol Cleet has been beating down on neighbor for YEARS and literally never had a a problem with it. It's an absolute unit! Wish it saw more action!
Garrett's dream come true... what a time to be alive! People need a getaway from the daily grind of this "pandemic life" like this place! THANKS Garrett / "Cleetus"!
From watching the kid in college mess around with duck calls and whistles on his corvette exhaust and doing pulls in it to having your own racetrack and fleet of cars now is absolutely insane to think that was just a few years ago!!!!
Cleetus is a national treasure we must protect him at all costs! Jackstand make sure he's taking vitamins and drinking water, gotta keep this stuff up for many years to come!
I've never been a working on cars guy, I love driving and racing. Never had the place or money to turn wrenches. Now that I'm in my mid 30s and able to buy a place that can work, im really looking forward to getting started and learning.
I dont know cleetus but I'm so proud and happy for him..he took someone's run down track and is bringing its glory back and building it up and bringing the car community back..he's making memories and doing what we need right now..bringing people close together to have fun and enjoy the moments..its awesome to see this.
Cleeter, glad drift night was a success, but seeing Parker ripping was by far the best part! Good to see you treating the people around you so well. I love it!
Growing up I always heard that Disney was the happiest place on earth, than Ol' Cleet decided to open the Freedom Factory. I can't wait for my first visit!

Those crown Vic's be worth some money one day specially the winning ones the one that Brent won in reverse if you could ever get your hands on that would be a great investment cleetus it's gonna be looked upon as one of the biggest legends in years to come you can just tell
Money moves
He actually owns a Huracan, and a McClaren.
Crown vics and a whole racetrack 😂I think I’d take that over a Lamborghini any day
Motorsports in general need more people like this cleet and crew have put so much on tge line and put so much back into their sports without just worrying about if it will profit or not keep it up!
I hope this event was as well respected as the last. And I hope it continues to be that way. Thanks for all you do Cleet.
Neighbor deserves some suspension and angle. Most reliable car in the fleet!
6:11 mass air flow unplugged (won’t start)
6:40 mass air flow plugged in (starts)
i noticed this aswell
I started my LS swap with the maf unplugged, pretty sure they default to speed density when the maf isn't plugged in. Engine management depending I guess.
facts
Goes to show that the VE table probably wasn’t properly dialed in. Even though the rod knock probably wasn’t tune related.
Pure genuine joy in your trade. I love it.
It's funny how it feels to watch the FF come to life in front of us, it seemed like such a lofty goal, i didnt expect this kind of follow through, very very satisfying.
People can say what they want about Fords, but ol Cleet has been beating down on neighbor for YEARS and literally never had a a problem with it. It's an absolute unit! Wish it saw more action!
I am Guessing , new timing chains for ol' faithful
I think it was one of James first builds on the Channel, with virtually no experience with ford's. Crazy!
Parker built my engine last year, smart dude, im glad to see he's doin good
Garrett's dream come true... what a time to be alive! People need a getaway from the daily grind of this "pandemic life" like this place! THANKS Garrett / "Cleetus"!
Yo Cleeeeeeetuuuuuusssssss!!!!!
Cameramannnnnnn
LETS SEE IT STUNTMANNNNNNNNNNN
WHATS IT GOT STUNTMANNNNNNN
It’s those old guys from New York trolling lol
THE NO-MERCY REVERSE-Y FOLKS
From watching the kid in college mess around with duck calls and whistles on his corvette exhaust and doing pulls in it to having your own racetrack and fleet of cars now is absolutely insane to think that was just a few years ago!!!!
"I warned the fire safety team you were coming" 😂😂
Man you can feel the energy at the freedom factory, its like nothing else.
In Australia there's a saying and its usually said in sarcasm, But this is truly "Living the dream".
No Tall poppies here... just one Giraffe.
I still can’t believe how stupid fast adams car was that whole night
Not just the car but the driver! Really show the difference of a drifter and a professional drifter.
I know right, he really is FD material
Locking up the front wheel foot braking so hard yet still tapping limiter in 3rd jesus
That is bullet fast right now... He just has to solve the cooling issues now...
that e36 is super gripped up now it's wild
* somebody goes on grass *
Cleetus: "Straight to jail!"
“Imma find you and make you place the tufts of grass back where they were.”
straight to yail right away
I'd enjoy seeing a shame box to send those away to
Go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
@@Evan_Moore61 damnit you beat me to it by 8 hours lol
Always love seeing neighbor come out!! He never lets you down!!
Taylor Ray's miata next to Neighbor is hilarious, Neighbor makes the miata look like a toy!!
Not as funny as the video of cleet driving the taco bell Miata with his chin over the windshield lol
The people on the stands in such a beautiful sight 😍
“It wasn’t the air/fuels” lol
Cleetus is a national treasure we must protect him at all costs!
Jackstand make sure he's taking vitamins and drinking water, gotta keep this stuff up for many years to come!
“Should be done by 6:30Am”
“Alright guys it’s 7:30 AM”
Story of working on cars😂
Only an hour though, that's really good. For me its at least 3.
Those are rookie numbers.
*p.m.
I've never been a working on cars guy, I love driving and racing. Never had the place or money to turn wrenches. Now that I'm in my mid 30s and able to buy a place that can work, im really looking forward to getting started and learning.
@@GusMortis no one cares.
Neighbor... like a rock. Most robust built car I think I've ever seen.
The man we needed. Not who we deserved
This is just so awesome. It's been fantastic to watch the Freedom Factory's progress so far. Here's to many more nights like this.
Looks like we need that investment in full LED lights and poles. Im sure you'll recoup costs in no time.
What a time to believe alive is the greatest gift on earth my brother from another mother!!!! MERICA
amen
Neighbours a god damn machine. Never skips a beat.
I dont know cleetus but I'm so proud and happy for him..he took someone's run down track and is bringing its glory back and building it up and bringing the car community back..he's making memories and doing what we need right now..bringing people close together to have fun and enjoy the moments..its awesome to see this.
Adam Lz: how I get one of them “hell yeah brother” specials?
* Cleeter Eatz at your service 😂
Deff need catered buffet in the pits paid for with entry fee.
Or even call it cleet eatz
"Man I can get one delivered right here" lol
Cant wait to see where you’ll be in 5 years. You’ve accomplished so much.
I just found out that I LOVE JH drunk. He was so funny and so supportive of his bois.
I thought he was always drunk. Ha.
Some people are just nice drunks
It sounded more like booger sugar than it did alcohol
Cleeter, glad drift night was a success, but seeing Parker ripping was by far the best part! Good to see you treating the people around you so well. I love it!
"I'm gonna show my watch"
🤣🤣
JH Drunkard killin it.
Always love a JH special appearance especially after a few beverages lmao
“That’s a tough break situation” I love that everything else is going so well that he’s not even too upset
Growing up I always heard that Disney was the happiest place on earth, than Ol' Cleet decided to open the Freedom Factory. I can't wait for my first visit!
