@@King_Flippy_Nips while true evs are objectively superior, subjectively they're about as fun to watch as paint drying... no earth shaking noise, no nose burning smell... its like cooking a burger on a George Forman grill vs on a wood fired grill, sure its faster, and probably better for you, but its missing many key elements thats keep me coming back to the traditionally grilled burger...
I met Cleetus for the first time today in Indy during the meet & greet and the two lines were longer than the distance Mullet runs 6s on. It was at least 2.5 hours Cleetus stuck around taking pictures with fans and signing whatever they requested. I have a whole new respect for the guy doing that for his fans as long as he stayed out there not letting anybody get disappointed! Also met Tye, George, Zack, and that great man named Sam. Helluva day!
This makes me sad I don't live in the US. Out of all the celebs or even people I've ever got to know about, he truly seems like an exceptionally nice, humble and approachable guy. The one person I'd actually like to meet some day.
I remember when I met 4 years ago him at the Ice Cream Cruise in Kansas City, I think the line was maybe 15 minutes, less than 15 people. He was still announcing at events for exposure. So cool to meet him before he got so popular and created his own events! You’ll look back and think “wow, I can’t believe I actually met this guy before he did ________!”
hes always been that dude tho. rude people dont deserve their following. if he was rude he wouldnt have the following he does. toxic people need no success
I understand wanting to meet someone who motivated you to better your life or accomplish a goal. But I personally think waiting 2+ hours in line for anything is insane.
@@robwigglezz944 I would have normally felt the same way, but the events had not started yet, plus I had the whole deal planned out a week ahead of time. The only reason I dedicated 2 hours of my time in line was because I was getting a picture with him as well and more importantly, I was finally somewhere with my wife all alone without anybody else in the family trying to steal her time from me. It all worked out!
Leah and Tony are awesome for the NHRA, no doubt, but legends is a bit of stretch. If it was Force, Capps, Schumacher or Pedregon, then legends would be appropriate
This episode is most definitely in my top 5 all time favorite!!! This was epic to say the least. THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY CLEETUS IS THE KING OF TH-cam!!!!
Dude when the dragster guy actually gave cleet the hit and you see cleet take off and then you hear the sonic boom and the dragster come alive was damn electric in the veins.
HOLY CRAP 12:37 Watch the reaction time of James in Mcflurry and that other drag car driver. WATCH IT IN 0.25 SPEED It was beautiful perfect timing and both boys were in the gas RIGHT before the greenlight lit. James is a seriously good racer. It always impresses me how good he is at the tree and going fast.
A TA/FC will never match the RT of a fast radial door car with a trans brake. They are essentially foot braking the car plus those huge slicks have to wrinkle up and then spin (wheel speed) which eats up a lot of initial momentum. A radial tire just dead hooks and goes which will always be way quicker than a big slick.
They most certainly train reaction times competing with the practice tree in the office, these guys mean business. It's all fun and positivity for the sake of the videos, but the dedication and work ethic really shows too.
@@Hellawacked he was saddened it was so small, but that burnout pad was poured just for Garrett's event. Which will draw in lots more folks to a DRAG RACE
The fact that every single place you go is willing to accommodate you or add something to their track or allow you to race an Elco vs a fuckin'...top A Dragster is uhh..pretty wild. Shows how much you guys are really carrying the racing world back into the limelight. Good on ya boys.
FINALLY! The life event we all needed to push cleeter into top fuel! Mark my words, the seed has been sewn today lol it may not be instant, he may go pro mod first with the way mullets going, but it will happen!
Even a T/A dragster is also unbelievably loud. Hearing one of those blow by you will definitely get your attention. Nitro cars on a whole different level for noise.
I counted 17 frames of video from the tree turning, to the rear wheel beginning to move. The video is at 60 frames per second, so if we do a simple calculation of (1/60)*17 we get the number 0.28. So the reaction time was roughly 0.28 seconds.
Hands down one of the coolest episodes yet! Seeing the boys taking on the big dogs makes me so happy to see how far they've come as a legitimate racing team!
After watching this gang for so long I almost feel like we're old friends. Now, after seeing Cleetus hangin with the like of Leah and Smoke like they're old friends, dude has definitely made it as far as I'm concerned!
Just got back from Indi in person and I couldn't have imagined having a better time. Thanks for putting on one hell of a show, the whole crowd was so stoked.
really really cool seeing the other drag cars vs the drag cars that at least, I'm used to seeing. Insane speeds! Awesome stuff. Hope everyone has a great time this weekend. Love from Australia!
Two years ago Today, I received a kidney transplant. For the few days leading up to, and the 3+ weeks after, I was either in the hospital or stuck in a hotel room during recovery. The Month Of Freedom videos were something I looked forward to during that time. Can’t explain how much it helped. More than a great channel and group of guys. An inspiration.
Cleeter this video gives me nostalgia and puts happy tears in my eyes. Used to go see NHRA races with my uncle every year before he passed away. Seeing the Top Alcohol cars running and your interactions with the drivers reminded me of those days. Thanks for everything you do.
It is just insane how much this old guy in Australia enjoys all of Cleetus TH-cam stuff, what a awesome person and personality Cleetus is. I've been watching since the day he first bought Ruby, WOW what a journey!
Did George break?? 🤔 Still made this old man smiling like a Cheshire cat this morning! Specially Jame's rendition of a John Force burnout, ole' Cleetus crakin' me up about getting zoomed.
This was a fun one. It's funny how a 7 looks slow beside a 5. I mean, over 2 seconds to the finish line after the win light is already on. lol... Also how funny Cleeter was watching the dragster pass him. That lane is basically irrelevant but he can't help but want to see it happen. Great stuff guys. Gonna be a great weekend.
I LOVE YOU CLEETUS!! Saw you at indy tonight and you put on such a great event, it felt like a revitalization of motorsports, so many people showed up and shared the passion. I didnt get to meet you but I met James, Tunemall and George. You have such a great team its no wonder you guys have made it this far. I wish you guys well!
@@kevinkarbonik2928 true.. I think the only way he’ll break the 5s, car is too heavy and on small tires there gonna have to always hit it soft and run more out the back.
So awesome those 2 run side by side with you guys. Mullet is definitely a major ripper. Mcflurry got it dialed in way to go guys. Good to see Sam with you guys, hes such a great part of McFarland racing
Hands down the best video on TH-cam. Cleetus is such a great guy and I knew he’d invite Smoke to the crown Vic race. Too bad Smoke can’t race with you boys but I’m sure y’all will put on a good show for everyone in Indy.
Crazy idea. The burnout pad at Indy becomes a template for the rest of the NHRA schedule and they partner with Cleet to organize a contest at every stop on the top fuel calendar.
really puts into perspective as someone that doesn't watch drag racing outside of this channel, just how fast these guys are going in street cars, and what's needed to be able run faster
@@neilreid2298 yep and it is insane how much power is needed to go 7s, 6s, 5s and under. You can run 8s and 9s with 600-700 hp so it would seem you could run 4s and 5s with twice that, but top fuel and funny car run like 12k plus hp.
These "Drag 'N Drive" cars are very impressive. Never even knew about the category until I found Cleetus' channel. 6 sec 200+ mph pass and then be able to drive to the Wawa for a cheeseburger and a sodi water. (see Bonehead Truckers)
Favorite part of your videos is always seeing James give his post-race reading of the time slip. The "Elon Musk" of LS engines has a bad addiction to speed and wringing all the power out of cheap, affordable LS engines and now he's doing the same with a FORD. Keep the James videos coming!
The best is when you tell people you could give a corvette 200mph head start and still beat it to the 1/4 mile in a top fuel dragster from a standing start. Ridiculous.
@@xr50ute top fuel cars are absolutely insane. I always tell people, even if you don't give a rats ass about cars, you have to go and experience it just for the raw energy those things put out
I can only imagine the prep and set up for these events, just getting the cars unloaded and loaded must be a hell of a lot of work, but the shows are always amazing
Dude all the podcasts I have seen you on over the last two weeks is amazing . I know you really busy but you need to make a pod for your self and the boys !! Even one episode a week !?!?
Yeah, they had that Wheelman thing going, then COVID came, and kind of slammed that door shut. I do like Coopers deal, though. The last show he did with Cleetus, JH, and Garza was hilarious. My sides still hurt from watching that one.
Lots of James fans in the Southern Hemisphere. Solid guy to have on your team - low key and super talented - enjoy his commentary too. More handheld RC plane launches please to show that he’s human!
Had George, Cleet, and crew pull up on me here in Indy yesterday! I heard someone yell "do a burnout" and look over and it's George hanging out the window 😂😂😂
This man got me hooked on drag racing!( I was already hooked onto most other forms of motorsports) and ❤ the community that you've built. But I have to say that I wouldn't mind a oval build by now. Especially because he has been owner of an oval track for quite some time now.
Definitely interesting to suddenly not be able to hear Mullet's engine on the GoPro on Mullet as the dragster went by. The level of noise is otherworldly (and this never gets old, no matter how many races I attend).
PRO TIP: When your opponents classified as Top [fuel specification], you should be scared. They tend to make your 7 second pass look like you've parked in the middle of the track
I'm pretty sure there wasn't any money on the line. Without question, it was all for fun. Sure does give a new appreciation of what running 1.5 seconds faster thru the traps actually looks like though. 👍
@Kurtis Douglas Oh yeah, a live Top Fuel Dragster rip should be on the bucket list of every human being on the planet. It's like all your senses had a faces and all of them getting simultaneously slapped by your meanest ex-girlfriend.
Got this one done early today! Tune into the live today on cleetusmcfarland.com at 1pm, burnouts go live around 4:30!!!
Do you have to be 18+ to win a turbo ?
Tony Stewart in Mullet please
If you see this comment before any of the racing starts tell James that he needs to shift the other way
When you gonna get mullet some mirrored turbos? Love the look of mullet either way....just got them OCD's. Lol
Brother, its sick you got to meet my hero and favorite nascar driver....after ol mark martin. Great stuff.

Then I did the same thing on the Mullet run and his wheels started moving at 17 frames, so had roughly the same reaction time is Jimbo.

@@xr50ute top fuel cars are absolutely insane. I always tell people, even if you don't give a rats ass about cars, you have to go and experience it just for the raw energy those things put out
James said "I'll show you a real burnout!"
🤣
I can only imagine the prep and set up for these events, just getting the cars unloaded and loaded must be a hell of a lot of work, but the shows are always amazing
I loved when cleetus hooked up the nitrous to the turbos on Rocky Mountain race week. It made the craziest sound.. like the jetsons
I love finishing a long day to this month of freedom. Keep killing it!
Freaking awesome! Loved watching the match ups. Time to upgrade boys.
Dude all the podcasts I have seen you on over the last two weeks is amazing . I know you really busy but you need to make a pod for your self and the boys !! Even one episode a week !?!?
They had one start of vivid and gave it up.
Yeah, they had that Wheelman thing going, then COVID came, and kind of slammed that door shut.
I do like Coopers deal, though. The last show he did with Cleetus, JH, and Garza was hilarious. My sides still hurt from watching that one.
Thank you Cleeter for the daily uploads! It's like a month of Christmases!
Lots of James fans in the Southern Hemisphere. Solid guy to have on your team - low key and super talented - enjoy his commentary too. More handheld RC plane launches please to show that he’s human!
Jack stand gave it everything!! His reaction time was perfect!
It's nice to see all of the crews cars running MINT. We need Ruby backkkkk!
Had George, Cleet, and crew pull up on me here in Indy yesterday! I heard someone yell "do a burnout" and look over and it's George hanging out the window 😂😂😂
You guys gotta get a front clip for toast, he looks so sad with half a wrap. Leeroy has the tube frame thing down already
I was thinking the same thing.
Ol'Cleet let that feller win one. Much respect Cleetus an crew!
After all this time, you would think they would have wheeley bars on the blazer!
Come on guys! Get it done!
Great video! Go McFarland Racing!!
Come on Cleeter, Mullet needs to hit them 5's .. Great content as usual ....
Last video of the month will be cleet showing up to the shop with a top alcohol dragster chassis 😂
@B WJ kinda like attempting to jump head first into a jet car before even making the 6 sec pass lol
This man got me hooked on drag racing!( I was already hooked onto most other forms of motorsports) and ❤ the community that you've built.
But I have to say that I wouldn't mind a oval build by now. Especially because he has been owner of an oval track for quite some time now.
Definitely interesting to suddenly not be able to hear Mullet's engine on the GoPro on Mullet as the dragster went by. The level of noise is otherworldly (and this never gets old, no matter how many races I attend).
That tony stuart cameo was awesome 😂
PRO TIP: When your opponents classified as Top [fuel specification], you should be scared. They tend to make your 7 second pass look like you've parked in the middle of the track
I'm pretty sure there wasn't any money on the line. Without question, it was all for fun. Sure does give a new appreciation of what running 1.5 seconds faster thru the traps actually looks like though. 👍
You ain't kidding dude that funny car was no joke too!
@Kurtis Douglas Oh yeah, a live Top Fuel Dragster rip should be on the bucket list of every human being on the planet. It's like all your senses had a faces and all of them getting simultaneously slapped by your meanest ex-girlfriend.
