- It is time for the long awaited drag race to see which of my burnout champion cars is faster, the methanol burning 360 AMC Gremlin or the nitrous injected 302 Ford Pinto. One was built in 13 days from a $800 empty body and the other was bought for $2000 at a yard sale. We also get to not only meet but buy stuff from @FinnegansGarage Which car will be faster? what will Squeeze buy in the swap meet? Lets find out!

Squeezy was wearing a genuine ear to ear smile for her quality daddy daughter drag strip cruise . Very special so cool to have these memories save forever on video
Mike Finnegan is one of the nicest people I've ever had the opertunity to meet. He's a very humble man to be as well known and have as many followers he's has.
Yes I think so too
Squeezy smile is pure gold 😊❤
Thank you
We love and pray for the entire family @@Sleeperdude
The smile on Squeeze's face as she went down the track was awesome!
She just lit right up, didnt she?
She's hooked on Vee Yait horsepower 😂
@@Joemantler She lit up faster than the Mustangs tires did!
@@generalkayoss7347 Ouch!🤕 That poor 'stang.
Every time I see a new Sleeperdude video pop up, I know that there's an hour and a half of my time when I'm not going to get done what I'm supposed to be doing
Thank goodness, I was in major withdrawal. Yes, I've falling down the Sleeperdude rabbit hole.
Yeah, I just rewatched all the vacation videos! You catch some things you missed before.
Squeeze should keep putting her art work up for sale along with your regular merchandise. Her instinct for balance -of-tone, as well as what colours and lines just naturally ebb into each other are both fascinating and undeniable. I hope she uses her talent to get her to an art school. She needs a place that will challenge her talent and her intellect. And if this comes across as long-winded...then forgive me. I'm ' in the zone ' right now for I'm working on sketches for a series of characters I'm hoping will be accepted for publication. Now, then......back to the art work. You know people will buy her work in a heartbeat. I would. And on a regular basis. I hope you and your family consider this, Josh. ( In the meantime ) thanks for another fabulously interesting and entertaining video. Roll-on the next one!!!!
Ok thank you I will tell her
She puts her art on sale. You just have to be there when she does it, because they go fast!
@@br549200 I hope not. I like my Sleepercrew wholesome and family friendly.
Yes I totally agree am looking forward to be able to finally purchase some artwork!
Hey Josh.... why does it seem like the Gremlin always dumps raw fuel out of the rear
(or two rear) right cylinders when you crank it ?
“ Whatever you said”
That made me laugh!
That’s funny
Thanks for taking us along, Josh! I am glad you finally got to get both cars on the strip. Good to see the extended family get to enjoy it as well. Hated to see the wreck, hope the driver is still okay. I am sure they kidlets will remember the time they got to ride in the car on the track. Great memories! So sweet of Bryson to bring you food and for Squeeze to think of her 2 grands... albeit with your money, but you can't pass up a $3 lotion deal. C'mon!
Squeeze is hilarious. Thank yall for everything.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude thank you.
We Loved meeting you all today at my Aunts funeral. You all are so special to us! We love watching you and your family! God Bless You All!
Ouch! Dangerous piglet!! 🏥🐷🐷🐷 That was awesome seeing Grim and Dollar Gentral drag racing! They both did great!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁 Ya'll be safe out there! I hope the driver of the Mustang was OK. 🙏 Thanks for sharing!! God bless and take care! 😎
Thank you! And yes driver was ok
At least the Mustang guy is ok. 👍
Little Bit worried about the guy who fell off the back of the drag car ❤. So sweet
It’s so awesome to see Squeezie coming around into car culture. It’s such a blessing to be able to share your passions with your family
I am so glad you put subtitles for the Mrs. english. I am an old swamp yankee and even I don't get half of it. For the valve cover bolts use the internal star lock washers.
Awesome thank you
How sweet Squeeze and Wawa hugging each other towards the end of the video.If you don't have air bags on the rear of the truck might want to consider putting some on it for towing.
These two cars have got to be more fun as drag cars than burnout buggies. I hope they both do well.
Yes thank you
So cool , just need 8th mile gears . Maybe 4.56's . @@Sleeperdude
Steve, I was thinking 5.12's.
Ya , probably . I know I had 5.13 in a 67 camaro and ran 12.97 in the 1/4 . And just a few years ago had 4.10's in a 2006 GMC Sierra pickup , turning 10.28's in the 1/4 . 7.50's 1/8 . @@keithscudder7136
Absolutely my favorite video of 2023. It's great to see your family having fun.
Like Wa said, Squeezel's got the bug since she started driving!! That'll do it, for sure. Great to see you finally get some drag times. Xmas greetings and New Years celebrations from here in the UK.
Yes for sure
I had so much fun watching this video. I laughed when Tosh was talking and I thought to myself; what is she saying? Then at that exact moment Josh says: whatever you said! @39:47 So funny. Even southern folks have trouble understanding Tosh's Southern!
There's a term for when you can't understand folks when they talk, it's called mushmouth.
That’s great
Getter done 👍. Love the channel and family. God bless you all 🙏
Squeeze's smile , priceless .
Great video's all year , loved them all . Thank you for letting us all enjoy your highs and lows and your family . Have a good New Year .
Well that was alot of fun. Real cool show cars and fast drag cars. You got a run off of each of yours. Shaken 'em down…. They will get to be reliable.
With the cooler temps a "Sleeperdude" knit hat would sure keep the fam warmer (and fashionable!") Thanks for taking me along "Sleeperdude Racing!"
Im glad to see im not the only one to use the leg cuff of my jeans to check my dipstick😂😂😂
Its great to see Americans at there finest, these people will be supporting each other for years and years, 🙏🏻🤞💗
I'm glad to see these meets are social events as well
I am only halfway through the video, but I have to comment. When you are driving down the track for the parade lap and get into it, you look back at Wawa and smile and that smile says it all. Keep up the great content and Happy New Year 2024.
That black Falcon is pretty much spot on with what I had in my head with what I’d do to yours if it were mine. I especially like the Thunderbolt hoods on Falcons, that’s a must. 😬 This past year has definitely been big for y’all and I just would like to thank you for all the hard work and hours of entertainment, it’s genuinely appreciated. Your one creator I get excited for when I see an upload and I watch beginning to end, usually multiple times. Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!
So happy you were finally able to get back to the track. Cars did well. That Gremlin is a ripper for sure. That was a pretty big wreck, glad the driver was ok. Shed a tear for that Mustang.
I think squeezee has car appreciation and has caught the bug when she's old enough I wouldn't be surprised to see her going down the track 😊
Yeah maybe so
Hot dang! 😮
I've waited for some quarter mile action forever!
Yes love it
It was just 1/8 mile that day. Would like to see the cars on the 1/4 mile track.
@@axleratio Cool... I'm from Texas where we have so much flat ground we don't do much of that baby drag racin. =D
The Valiant in the weeds was my favorite thing at the swapmeet! 🤣
Another great family adventure!! Glad everyone left safe at the event, notwithstanding the crash! Happy New Year Sleeperdude and Family!!!!
Josh- whatever you said. 😂😂😂 I love Tosh's sub titles lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see some more videos of you guys at the drag strip! Your kids absolutely loved it! Love seeing the smiles and how well Ralphie knows about the cars. You just don’t see that anymore y’all are doing amazing things! Happy new year best wishes!
LOL Tosh sounds like the Bib Louisiana dude from Water Boy . LOVE IT !
as a Minnesotan it always makes me laugh when a Sothern person says its really cold out today 🤣😂
come visit Minnesota in the winter and you will learn cold🤣
Ajhhhh. How cold. Is it?????
We would die!!
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u this year so far is not bad but usually we can go weeks and not get above 0 and sometimes days at -25 to -30 not Windchill that's worse
Your kids are growing up so fast. Every video they seem to get taller. Who says drinking milk helps you grow? It's all about breathing race fuel and living your life a quarter mile at a time 🙂
Yeah for sure
I think grim is going to take the win at the strip but we are all winners with getting a new video to watch
@@Sleeperdudeyour responses are always generic answers, I’ve often wondered if they are computer generated. Who does your comments Josh?? Not being mean just curious. Thanks 😂
@@mwatkins2464He has spoken in videos about how much time it takes him to read and respond to comments
It’s not milk making them grow so fast. It’s the viennas and rc cola lol.
Awsome video!! Should probably build a cage for at least the gremlin. Would be safer for burnouts as well.
Yes I think so too
Guys, Your channel really is the most entertaining and wholesome out there, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Bless you all and those that are subscribed.
Happy New Year Sleeperdude family, thanks for taking us along
I think it’s great that squeeze is getting more
into helping out with the cars and love seeing her pictures she paints can’t wait to see more of her paintings❤
Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍
Thank you
Can't wait to watch this when I get home from shopping at Wally-world
Omg !! I love the S-10 DUALLY !! Thanks for takin me along to see all this cool stuff.
1:04:10
Josh says "Mom's gonna be freaked out now"
Wawa, internally... "Yeah, ME TOO!"
Happy new year ❤ sleeper dude fam ❤❤
I say this all time. What a beautiful family. God bless, Happy New Year, and thank you for being awesome.
Thank you
I loved the fact that Wawa and Dad were the only two awake in truck right before the video ended ,you can tell she is a dad's girl to the bone ! Whoever trys to win her heart, will have tall shoes to fill for sure .
I watched you and your kids building this car , and I’m really impressed by how you’re teaching and spending quality time with your family ! I wish i could have spent more time with mine ! So good job being a parent !!!
Glad you enjoy it!
It’s got to be those long T bolts, the vibration or harmonics makes them unwind. I think if you swap them for some short ones, you might be good to go.
That was too bad about the wreck thankfully no one was hurt...now back to your cars that pinto needs more than a good trans to launch like the "Grim Ripper"that thing just took off!!! Great video as always looking forward to the next one Karl from eastern Canada
Yes for sure
one of the coolest channels ive ever watched for sure! Happy new years to SleeperDude and Family!
Love the ways your kids respect each other and love each other like they do sooooooo much.I think it's beautiful 😍
Thank you
You need a Pacer to complete the trifecta of 70's 'exotics'.
The gremlin is a little animal
It's going to be interesting to see what they do when you get them fully dialed in
Loved the fact the kids enjoyed themselves
God bless, jay Jo and Evie from England
For sure 👍
Happy & Blessed New Year, Josh & family!
Another awesome video Josh! Squeeze’s smile going down the track was infectious. If you get a chance there is a swap meet and car show the first Sunday of every month except July and August in Bushnell Florida. Still hoping to see you keep the van and fix it up. I’m really looking forward to Ralfe’s vision for the F150. To all of the Sleeperdude family, have a safe and Happy New Year!!! Looking forward to the next video. ❤ 🚘
Time to get your drinks and popcorn
Woohoo! Love the family videos. Good luck!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
You're welcome
Old Tommy stopping by hot rod Hoarder love his channel, thats how i found u guys
Yes he’s awesome
Glad to see the mustang driver was ok! He done did to the side of the track what Marg did to your yard!
Come on!
Yet another great family vid for me and my wifey to enjoy! Nice job guys. I am a devoted watcher and as long as the family and the animals are a part then so will we be! You know Josh those flip-flop socks I sent you would come in handy and be funny as all get out this time of year! Lol.
Yes I need to get those socks out 🤣🤣🤣thank you
You can see it in squeezes face. That’s the look every car guy/girl knows she’s now hooked between her driving the pinto and now the pass down the track. She’s now gonna want to either drive the pinto more or she’s gonna want a sleeper of her own lol. And I can’t wait for the day now lmao I love this family
Your kids are going to be mechanics on the best hoopties ❤❤❤❤❤love your family and all your cars 🚗
That guy in the Mustang hadn't got back straight before he gunned it again, asking for trouble.
Good Afternoon Family , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are doing well and having a fantastic weekend, Happy New Year to you and your family and friends 😊 ! ❤
Just starting video. If geared correctly I think the gremlin is Victor. Edit- ok just learned both are geared same. Gremlin is my bet, by several car lengths (if the tuning allows it to cleanly launch)
Ok thanks
@@Sleeperdude thanks for clean family car enthusiast content.
Thank you Sleeperdude family!
Exciting video Josh, what a psyche out my man.
Johnny
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude You're welcome Josh.
This was awesome! Not to mention a cameo from Hotrod Hoarder himself. Great way to start off the new year! 👌 👍💪
Happy new year!!
Awesome video
Happy new year
God bless you and family Josh
Thank you
Thank you for the great content! I’ll be here till the end!
Only one way to describe Squeeze.....ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS!!
Look at this madman, in a short year he went from revivals to racing against the big dogs in the 1/4 mile
1/8 mile track
1/8 mile
Good race happy new year 🎉🎊😄👍👍
Thank you
Fun watch sleeperdude! Thank you!
the way Squeezing was smiling when she got to go down the track with you. you just could not get that smile of off her face. that was so nice to see, she is coming around to the love of the car world.
It's funny, I watch other car channels like Dylan McCool and Vice Grip Garage. I'm always hoping to catch a glimpse of the Sleeperdude family in one of the videos, but it was starting to be like trying to spot a Sasquatch. Finally after 100's of videos, I caught a glimpse of the Gremlin in one of Dylan McCool's videos. Just a quick little shot, and I was like "Man this is like following bread crumbs in Hansel and Gretel". (Hope I spelled that right..lol) Then a couple of videos later, it happened y'all. There he was, Josh, in all his Sleeperdude glory, and Dollar Gentral and the Gremlin. I heard harps playing and the clouds opened up....and Josh cut a hole in Dylans turbo hose, and Sleeprduded his car. It was great......😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
So cool
@@Sleeperdude yes it was. Good job getting those cars down the track. Gremlin was getting it. I got a feeling you better put a cage in that car cause you can tell it's got more. I bet with the right gears and tune you could get mid 5's to low 6's.
Need to grab a Chevette to have all 3 makes
Yes
The fact that Squeezie has fell in love with the Pinto is awesome! Her smile is contagious!
Wawa, "it's a wagon!" 😂 Classic Wawa!
The 727 in the Gremlin is near bulletproof! I'm thinking the tyranny in the Pinto, needs beefed up!
Glad ya'll got to go drag race!
Happy New Years
Thanks for the video! Happy New Years🎉
Thank you
Numbness is the first signs of hypothermia
Yes!!
@@Sleeperdude😂😂😂😂
Those seals in the trans are probably getting hard, could try little brake fluid as a last resort to soften them up. My 350 did the same thing, had to let it fully warm up before going any where cause it wouldn’t go into gear when it was cold out. Drove couple years like that till it finally had a hard part failure.
I was thinking maybe put one of those trans additives in and see what it does
Yeah maybe so
So glad to see them both out together. I’m pulling for the Gremlin
Would have been nice to see them side by side!
1:00:45 valve cover leak you may want to use your original valve covers and go old school with cork gaskets or find another set of oem valve covers that are in good shape aren’t warped. Sometimes the aftermarket ones will leak unless you use Felpro rubber gaskets and factory screws instead of the t-bar ones you’re using.
I'd love to have that bicycle with the sissy bar and banana seat. I had one as a kid back in the early seventies.
Yes
Buy a Navi I love mine and it’s pretty fast
He would love it
@@Sleeperdudewho would love it ??😂
I love that smile on squeezy’s face when she’s in that car
where is ths at in GA looks like Northern GA I like to see this
Calhoun Georgia
I’ll be needing to see Ralphie and Squeezy on a bigger dirt bike with gears. That is if you are taking requests..
If there's money in the envelope for it. Take up a collection! Or mail them a couple of jackets or something to whet their appetites!
Ok thanks
I’ve been looking forward to this all day
Awesome thanks
I look forward to the Doller Gentral trans rebuild video with Discount Daryl.
Hope that lotion isn't expired.....lol
Probably is
Salut trop puissant pour moi ,Cc de la Mayenne France

Great to see y'all doing straight line stuff! Happy New Year to each and every one of ya...
