So glad neighbor has been able to travel so far and make so many people smile. Some days he doesn’t get the credit he deserves, this car has lead our Cleetus and Cars events to where they are today.
I love seeing this being an Australian, how Americans have embraced the burnout scene culture with a massive thanks to cleetus and the boys over at the rod shop
When Cleeter got all barred up after thrashing El Chromino and yelled "It's just like an Australian burnout car!!" I knew that they finally understood. He even posted that video on Straya day ;_;7 I'm devo the Castlemaine lads can't be over there to soak in the madness they helped create.
well what did u expect, we Americans did basically create burnouts, we just never made a whole sport like yall down under. yall really took a burnout meant to warm up our tires for drag racing and took it to a whole nother level . hahaha yall awesome for that
Me too! The old push against the wall, sitter, yawn-fest is disappearing and the fans are loving it! I think we might need a Cleeter & Cars “Down Under” Special Event PPV!
Lmao I had a similar image in my mind when I saw the mystery machine. Which, btw, imo, had the best sounding and all around best burnout. This showing might give them blokes downunda a run for their money . I'd love to see some x boarders exchange of friendly competition in burnouts.
It's crazy how neighbor has become something so much bigger and more special than I think anyone could have ever imagined. The things that it's seen, and she's still going strong. Long live Ed.
I was thinking the same!!! Man imagine if Ed were still here!!! He would be having a blast!!! To think neighbor was just an idea to get Ed in a car on the channel more. Who would ha e ever thought neighbor would basically e the hero car of all these cleetus burnout events. While all the other burnout cars constantly break. That monster of a gt500 motor just keeps on going. It has its little issues. But think of how many motors they have rebuilt or replaced on all the other cars in the time neighbor has been around. Started as a salvaged engine and old police e car. And it just keeps on living on to bring smiles to people's faces!!
Agreed! Now the main thing is to promote skilled driving and stop hitting the barriers and doing wall taps so much. 🤣 American's love smashing their machines. Those Australian burnout competitions are awesome!
@@kelvinh.1101 watching boosted boiz vid of the burnout comp Kyle actually said that it was one of the boxes to tick to do a wall tap, in Australia that ends your run basically. Also need more safety improvements regarding pinning down tailgates etc.. and crew running around on top of safety walls...I think it was Alex that nearly got decapitated by the mystery machine.
@@chrismason6857 I feel that way sometimes when watching. But every now and then someone does something never seen before. They can become monotonous and it's not for everyone. The Cleetus McFarland channel makes it all worth while. He has a lot more content than just burning out. It's cool to see the behind the scenes and friendships collaborating to make it all happen.
My GF and I were there. We were standing by Ruby over by the staging lanes when you and Alec walked up and drove off in it. Made her day to get a picture with her favorite car and she remarked how chill and humble you seemed. Thanks for a great day man, we can't thank you enough.
Dont believe everything u see on TH-cam he used to take my lunch money every day in middle school... To think of it that's probably how he started youtube you guys are welcome...... Jk all bs aside dont think there could be any better example of a genuine great guy
@@dyent it really only Ruby and the Mystery Machine. those are the only two that don't need any work. well, except for the oil pressure now noticed in ruby. Cleet and JackStands should run Ruby in a burnout.
I love how little mechanical sympathy Cleetus has for his vehicles. He builds them to do exactly what he set out to do with them and if they break, they break. He doesn’t baby anything to try to save it from breaking. His mindset is always “if it breaks, we will fix it and make it better”. He is the ultimate Quality Control guy for parts 😂
That was the Vargus brothers in the little blue pickup. He would randomly hop in it, drive around and get on the two step. Maybe go run down the drag strip, maybe circle back around and park it. You can't convey the deep sound it actually makes, sounded like a fully auto .50 cal!
It was nasty and so bad ass to see i have been looking for someone to post it but the most i have seen came from build tune race and his coverage of burnie
1:30 you tip your crown vic in, you tip your crown vic out, you tip your crown vic in and spin it all about. You do a massive burnout and smoke ‘em all out
Love that guys effort. Disappointed it didn't work out for him. Sure was purdy smoke while they were spinning! Would love to see him win it to get the recognition he deserves.
That Motormania car was fucking angry, I need to see more of this weapon. Also, thats a huge crowd, even by Aussie comp standards that is massive. Well done to everyone involved.
This is incredible... the cleetus and cars show is so big now, so many burnout cars...all the tracks around the country are going to want cleetus to come to promote their tracks... Cleetus is going to revive the car culture across the whole nation... I just pray the show comes to Canada! 🇨🇦
Great to see a Monaro getting into it! Respect from this Aussie to the bloke in the Motormania Impala. Instant smoke, bulk revs, lots of smoke, popped tyred. Bloody awesome. Stoked the Americans are embracing the Aussie burnout life.
Never been more proud of someone I don’t even know haha. This man of filling stands, bringing Australian love here, making his own events. Just a 1320 camera man is all! 🤪
What we're seeing here is cleetus literally changing the car culture in the US. Burnouts used to be just for high schoolers in the rain but now its becoming something so much more.
Laughs in lives in America and has gone to summernats for the past 15 years he didn’t really change anything you just hangout with boring ppl with weak cars
@@sealions__9286 I mean I don't think there's been any organized burnout events like cleetus and cars in the US, or at least not on the same scale. I know its a spec compared to summer nats but its something that wouldve been unheard of 5 years ago
Who else here remembers when they were worried about how reliable this car would be with the timing chain setup and having to change them all the time and now it's the most reliable vehicle they've ever had.
Most people cant drive their cars in between lanes in traffic but this dude barely touches the wheel while drifting through cinderblocks full speed hahaha Cleetus is a legend
I am newish to watching Cleetus and burnouts and this side of youtube. I saw the car and wondered if it was Denofa and Gaitin. I can't remember his name or even if I spelt it right. He and Chelsea seem to be partners in racing. I am glad I was right.
That 67-68 impala at 6:35 was my favourite car and burnout. The way the driver used the big old back end and the body roll to swing it around for the tip in was beautiful.
In 10 years time, when burnout comps are a normal event throughout the USA, we'll remember watching videos of Cleetus hosting these first events. He came to straya, saw the fun and took home the passion to make it happen for you guys. Well done for pioneering it Cleetus and well done all the murican fans for supporting his events 👌 After all this Covid crap it'd be cool if Cleetus and the boys visited us in Australia again.
Lol and the track seemed they hosted this what seemed to be damn near no staff or security. They definitely made bank. They could have doubled the food and drink vendors.
Neighbor was by far my FAVORITE. Seeing all of these cars and all of your faces that we have been watching for years through a screen was unreal. My husband and I had the BEST time!
I really really can’t wait until Derek gets the ole Chevelle right so he can do a proper rip. Dude deserves some recognition. He puts so much into every build.
this was my first ever cleetus and cars, and I was 13 at the time. This was the most fun I have ever had in my entire life. I felt so welcome here because everyone there loved the same thing I did. It was such an amazing experience that I even wrote multiple essays about it in school
@@mrfusion753 Pit parking was a must, I'm glad I bought it. We were maybe the 10th car in the gate and got to see everybody unloading their cars and setting up their stuff. It was really cool
So rad! My 8 year old got to attend with his step-dad, unfortunately I live too far away to attend myself with him. However he called me on facetime Sunday morning and told me all about it and said he had such an amazing time! Thank you for putting on such a great event, slightly jealous he got to attend in person and I am here watching it on the tube. haha
I can't believe how much Big Cleet has come from putting whistles in his corvettes exhaust, to putting the vmp supper charger on neighbor, and getting ruby from an auction, and running leroys first second pass to where he is at now
The fact that I am watching this with my 2 year old son and he clapped after neighbors burnout is awesome! Hopefully I can take the family to one of your events in the future. Inspiring the next generation of gear heads. Hell yeah!
This man is officially a ABSOLUTE LEGEND for making all of this happen. Literally becoming the heart and soul of the automotive community time and time again!
Needs that bogey drive to really rip all 8, the rear set weren't really going and I thinks that's why he couldn't whip it. Have seen it done once before so it is possible.
@@generalkayoss7347 almost a sell out, football games have also been up to 50 thousand people, were still having small lockdowns here and there, but nothing silly anymore
That’s a tip in us aussies are proud of, hats off to neighbour and cleet giving it a send, glad you came to the right country to learn, even ended in a fire ✌🏼 love it
I was thinking the same thing. Ford had that modular 32 valve DIALED IN. The Ford GT, Lightning SVT, and GT500 all have modular based engines. Can't believe neighbor has endured probably hours of burnouts, in 5th, on limiter, at 1000hp, on a stock bottom end. It doesn't make sense.
@@Rev.Match.Reviews it isn't the stock bottom end anymore. It bent a rod when they were starting it, and it is a fully built bottom end. But still, the top end is stock.
I live in indy and your statement is true, only real big events we get at the track is drag fuel racing and we get the indy 500 at speedway with sometimes bike racing. We also get Street car takeover aswell
@@TylerIRufener Yes, but get people used to coming there for this type of event, and they will. If their marketing people can't figure that out, they should be canned.
I'm not much of a Ford guy by any means but I have to admit that motor can take beating. Cleetus beats on that thing like it owes him money and it keeps on going for more. It's impressive how long it's lived.
Thank you Cleetus for such an amazing day! Getting to finally meet you was awesome. This past year has been extremely difficult for me due to a nasty divorce last May, the whole pandemic, along with my mental health spiraling outta control. Saturday was the first time in idk how long where I felt genuinely happy to be here and was surrounded by so many people who share the same passion for cars and freedom. Keep on keepin on brother 🤘
These guys are so awesome. You can't get a better show than what they put out. Everyone is super chill. I meet with so many youtubers and these guys are awesome. They really are here to put on the best show the possibly can. Met James and shared a few words with him. You can't ask for better people come and support. Fantastic meeting everyone you surround yourself with. Can't wait to see the next show.
I don't know if you were at the show or not but I think he needs a clip of the "USA" chant. I think that would be louder because there were still a lot of people there, after the burnouts a pretty large chunk of people left.
Please. We spend a whole day watching this stuff. You want burnout comps come to Australia and watch how stupid we go. And apparently South Africa is even more insane
Congratulations Cletus. You've created something that nobody else could have done. Fantastic to see a track startup than see one closed down. And you took it from there and rolled with it. It's simply amazing what you've created. 👍👍👍👍
Omg y'all are so awesome. I was smiling the hole time. I wish I could help support y'all. But I'm disabled and live with my kids. So all I can contribute is a like and share. God bless all of y'all.
Cleetus practically burning neighbor down at every event and he just keeps kicking meanwhile itsjusta6 can't keep any of his cars running longer than one "test drive"
He said he didn't care. In Kyle's video James said don't worry about the wheels, they are send it wheels so even if you smack the wall and break it in 3 pieces it don't matter.
Glad to see you giving Derek more love now. Was hoping to see more from independence but the fuel make it happener wasn’t makin it happen when the fuel wasn’t in the pickup. But damn if that Neighbor tip In wasn’t awesome. Hell yeah brother. Can’t wait for toast to be out there too.
For some guys I have no affiliation with, you dude make me as an Aussie so proud. Cleet is doing a helluva job with these events, no one channels the Aussie tip in energy in the states quite like him.
@@eddominates that was hella rowdy and definitely a strong 2nd for entries. Cleets 5th WOT entry was just too sick though, sooo close to that wall with the nose as to initiate the spin as early as possible, frikkin textbook.
It was this moment in history when one man who doesn't even race circle track, started his destruction of NASCAR by putting on shows called Cleetus & Cars
So glad neighbor has been able to travel so far and make so many people smile. Some days he doesn’t get the credit he deserves, this car has lead our Cleetus and Cars events to where they are today.
100% Neighbour has some gods in the sky looking after him ;)
Ed would be so proud
You and neighbor are like the duke boys and the general Lee or Burt Reynolds and his trans am 👍🇺🇸
Ford power putting in work 🤘💪🇺🇲
Hes the star for sure ....thank you for coming to Indiana
I love seeing this being an Australian, how Americans have embraced the burnout scene culture with a massive thanks to cleetus and the boys over at the rod shop
Hard, better than that standing burnout shit while someone sprays water that they used to pull.

The reverse awd burnout was badass!!!!
The 2.7's are nothing to joke about when given some good parts and decent turbos. Same with the 1.8t as well

One thousand times better than anything Hollywood could produce. Pure entertainment.
Cleetus is focused on making entertaining content, while Hollywood nowadays is nothing more than a virtue signalling outlet. It was a clear winner.

Saw this show in person, and all I could say, it's wild. Couldn't think of a better way to spend less than $50 on a Saturday
Was that crowd insane in person? It looked twice the size of any previous show.
@@doozerchuck8625 The crowd was massive. Lines for stuff was hours long, filled the entire bleachers and the grass for the burnout contest.
@@doozerchuck8625 A lot of people it took an hour to buy anything at least. Definitally pay for pit parking so you don't have to park in a muddy field
@@mrfusion753 Pit parking was a must, I'm glad I bought it. We were maybe the 10th car in the gate and got to see everybody unloading their cars and setting up their stuff. It was really cool
So rad! My 8 year old got to attend with his step-dad, unfortunately I live too far away to attend myself with him. However he called me on facetime Sunday morning and told me all about it and said he had such an amazing time! Thank you for putting on such a great event, slightly jealous he got to attend in person and I am here watching it on the tube. haha
JH is so underrated for burnout rivals. So much smoke black and white, noise.
His truck has failed him most of the time or ide think he would have pulled off a win or two by now
Yeah I think this is the first burnout comp that I’ve seen him blow tires without popping a charge pipe or detonating an engine block.
Agreed, great awareness of positioning and excellent control. Would absolutely love to see more
@@AnotherClown You think that's sexy, imagine if the burnout patch had a lake, and ole JR had a few beve's in him!!!
I can't believe how much Big Cleet has come from putting whistles in his corvettes exhaust, to putting the vmp supper charger on neighbor, and getting ruby from an auction, and running leroys first second pass to where he is at now
"These tires come with a 60k mile warranty!"
"How many Cleeterseconds is that?"
How many cleeter what now.
Bout 45
@@davidp4270 That's aint much :/
The fact that I am watching this with my 2 year old son and he clapped after neighbors burnout is awesome! Hopefully I can take the family to one of your events in the future. Inspiring the next generation of gear heads. Hell yeah!
This man is officially a ABSOLUTE LEGEND for making all of this happen. Literally becoming the heart and soul of the automotive community time and time again!
Brent is always the highlight of these things. He doesn't know when to quit being hype despite his distinguished age.
Anybody else impressed by the Mad Lad that brought a SEMI to a burnout comp and firkin sent all 8!
He's got a TH-cam Channel called Gentry & Son check it out
@@lamarhendricks69 pretty damn good channel
Needs that bogey drive to really rip all 8, the rear set weren't really going and I thinks that's why he couldn't whip it. Have seen it done once before so it is possible.
@@lamarhendricks69 thanks. I have been scanning through the comments looking for the mad lad who drove it.
Epic!
You guys are singlehandedly making American burnout contests a legitimate motorsport.
Especially considering the Aussies can't even have burnout competitions anymore.
@@generalkayoss7347 wait why not
@@generalkayoss7347 we definitely can....and we definitely have been doing skid comps, we're mostly free and have been for a while 😂😂
@@codyireland9432 How big are the crowds? lol
@@generalkayoss7347 almost a sell out, football games have also been up to 50 thousand people, were still having small lockdowns here and there, but nothing silly anymore
Man i hope Ed is lookin down from Heaven and smiling to see how far Neighbor has come!!!! #DoitforEd
You better believe he is. HELL YEAH BROTHER. FIRE ME UP!!
That’s a tip in us aussies are proud of, hats off to neighbour and cleet giving it a send, glad you came to the right country to learn, even ended in a fire ✌🏼 love it
AWD Burnouts, Duallys, Backwards trucks, tires popping, HELL YA BROTHER!!!!
That backward-truck dude, OMG!
Neighbor has that Ed magic. He’s definitely helping keep that car together while it puts smiles on all our faces. I couldn’t be more grateful.
I love the sheer amount of people that follow Cletus and Cars to compete in the burnout comp
As an Australian this makes me happy, Ol Cleeter changing the game!
Yes he is, and thanks to the Australians for getting him on board with this. Huge cudos.
Can't wait to get some of your boys out here to REALLY throw down in the burnout pit. They'll need their own category of competition though. (For now)
Oath 💪🏼
That seccond time was fucking sick
they are evolving
Vice Grip Garage ! Derek will have a beast when “Independence” is dialled in .. awesome
Pretty great seeing him on the channel. Love that guy.
I'm not a Ford guy but seeing the abuse they put neighbor through and the fact it's never broken I gotta say it's impressive.
Panther Power!
I was thinking the same thing. Ford had that modular 32 valve DIALED IN. The Ford GT, Lightning SVT, and GT500 all have modular based engines. Can't believe neighbor has endured probably hours of burnouts, in 5th, on limiter, at 1000hp, on a stock bottom end. It doesn't make sense.
I know, i bleed LS blood. But damn they put neighbor and that VMP charger through the ringer yearlong and its never let em down.
@@Rev.Match.Reviews it isn't the stock bottom end anymore. It bent a rod when they were starting it, and it is a fully built bottom end. But still, the top end is stock.
@@TroBudden same
The track owners were watching this, and will be having more of these events themselves. Look at that crowd!
Cleet is what made that crowd happen
@@TylerIRufener Agreed. They’re gonna need a good ol’ cleeter to make that happen
I live in indy and your statement is true, only real big events we get at the track is drag fuel racing and we get the indy 500 at speedway with sometimes bike racing. We also get Street car takeover aswell
@@TylerIRufener Yes, but get people used to coming there for this type of event, and they will. If their marketing people can't figure that out, they should be canned.
I'm not much of a Ford guy by any means but I have to admit that motor can take beating. Cleetus beats on that thing like it owes him money and it keeps on going for more. It's impressive how long it's lived.
A guy just can’t get enough of that Independence Chevelle and VGG!
🤘🤘
Thank you Cleetus for such an amazing day! Getting to finally meet you was awesome. This past year has been extremely difficult for me due to a nasty divorce last May, the whole pandemic, along with my mental health spiraling outta control. Saturday was the first time in idk how long where I felt genuinely happy to be here and was surrounded by so many people who share the same passion for cars and freedom. Keep on keepin on brother 🤘
Cleetus I’m up in Canada when they open the boarders, I’m coming down to do a burnout with a snowmobile. “HELL YEAH BROTHER”
Big kudos to cleetus and the crew. Nascar couldn't even sell this track out to the capacity
That AWD burnout was sick
There needs to be an "eagle screech" sound on Neighbor's PA system!
Hate to break it to you. But thats a red tail hawk
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 yeah I have heard that. Most people would know it as an eagle, in this context.
These guys are so awesome. You can't get a better show than what they put out. Everyone is super chill. I meet with so many youtubers and these guys are awesome. They really are here to put on the best show the possibly can. Met James and shared a few words with him. You can't ask for better people come and support. Fantastic meeting everyone you surround yourself with. Can't wait to see the next show.
That orange ram was insane in person. so much control, smoke, and lasted at least 5 minutes. Plus popped tires. Definitely deserved the $3000
And they were originally joking about towing it off the track because they had no clue who's truck it was 😂 that truck was a ripper for sure!
Was close, did well.
It was a little over 8 mins..lol the kid in front of me was recording it and I saw the time when he ended it.
That reverse 4WD burnout and donut were a sight to see, thank you Mom and Dad for making me at the right time!
When the crowd said "Hail Yeah Brother"...gave me chills of Joy...
Thank you everyone!
Hail? 🤔
@@linussjoberg3116 Yes "Hail"...Cleetus also uses this Venacular...but you will be okay, change is good...
I don't know if you were at the show or not but I think he needs a clip of the "USA" chant. I think that would be louder because there were still a lot of people there, after the burnouts a pretty large chunk of people left.
Did I just watch 30 minutes worth of burnouts? Yes. Yes I did
Time very well spent in my book
Who wouldn't
Please. We spend a whole day watching this stuff. You want burnout comps come to Australia and watch how stupid we go. And apparently South Africa is even more insane
Congratulations Cletus. You've created something that nobody else could have done. Fantastic to see a track startup than
see one closed down. And you took it from there and rolled with it. It's simply amazing what you've created. 👍👍👍👍
Omg y'all are so awesome. I was smiling the hole time. I wish I could help support y'all. But I'm disabled and live with my kids. So all I can contribute is a like and share. God bless all of y'all.
I’m sure that’s plenty enough for good ol Cleet! God bless you, Sir.
This was such a badass event. My wife came with me and she’s now HOOKED on cleetus 😂
9:32 Great footage! Thanks for having us out!
Nice job! The colored smoke was awesome 👏
@@NickCasciani thanks Nick!
By far one or the best shows on earth. Had an awesome time and everyone was so humble. Had a blast!!!!!!
ok, the guy @ 5:50 doing an AWD butnout is my hero! That takes some serious engineering to pull off.
As a truck driver , the fld120 semi burnout was badass
I need to know who this driver is lol!
@@Holye5833 Tim Gentry check out his TH-cam channel Gentry and Sons
Pretty good for a old 500hp Detroit
Bulletproof truck
@@briantruck2284 1000hp* now 😂 but still badass
Thank you Cleetus, for taking Australia to the States! 😅💞
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
🇺🇸 🇦🇺🤠
Cleetus practically burning neighbor down at every event and he just keeps kicking meanwhile itsjusta6 can't keep any of his cars running longer than one "test drive"
Ones a wanker one isn't.
@@rxtuninginc8444 that's my point.
Who still watches him
I watched justa6 for a while but constantly breaking shit got really old really fast.
Definitely all in the tuner
Cleet: "That has 1000hp?!"
Spence: "It has 1000hp."
Cleet: "That's a big fire me up."
😂😂
From an Aussie it's great to see Americans starting to give burnouts some justice to the point they can be called burnouts
It's taken this long. But they're finally making it work 😍
@@TorqHub agreed
I don't watch this channel for the burnouts, but the level of Freedom on display really caught me in the feels.

James: The one time I let someone borrow my rims...
Cleetus: are those your wheels?
*pans over to destroyed rim*
James: YEAH
He said he didn't care. In Kyle's video James said don't worry about the wheels, they are send it wheels so even if you smack the wall and break it in 3 pieces it don't matter.
@@rxtuninginc8444 oh mate that was not Kyle's ride right there
@@karoliskazlauskas1213 I hadn't got to that part of video yet. Couldn't be arsed to go look for the comment.
Them wheels were demolished lol
Glad to see you giving Derek more love now. Was hoping to see more from independence but the fuel make it happener wasn’t makin it happen when the fuel wasn’t in the pickup. But damn if that Neighbor tip In wasn’t awesome. Hell yeah brother. Can’t wait for toast to be out there too.
For some guys I have no affiliation with, you dude make me as an Aussie so proud. Cleet is doing a helluva job with these events, no one channels the Aussie tip in energy in the states quite like him.
The Bald Regal came reeeeeeal close though, that tip-in all the way to the corner of the pad was somethin special
@@eddominates that was hella rowdy and definitely a strong 2nd for entries. Cleets 5th WOT entry was just too sick though, sooo close to that wall with the nose as to initiate the spin as early as possible, frikkin textbook.
@@Sk1m_Beeble it wwas beautiful for sure
Makes me happy seeing VGG’s independence chevelle at you’re events. Once he has that thing fine tuned it’s gonna be a monster
🤘🤘
God bless cleet for giving the international homies something to watch when they can't travel to see some LIVE ACTION
The orange truck was the longest burnout for the entire show! He ran for like 6-7 min straight, and he was roasting the tires non stop!
I more and more impressed with that engine in neighbor every time I see cleetus beat the hell out of if and she keeps on going
We had a great time. Group of 7 of us drove 4 hours. Thank you for a great show. 10/10 would recommend. Will definitely be back next year.
Its so awesome seeing yall put on a show, and see all of your seats are full. Literally full in every show yall put on.
It was this moment in history when one man who doesn't even race circle track, started his destruction of NASCAR by putting on shows called Cleetus & Cars
@@ZboeC5 haven't been good since the day Earnhardt Sr died and then they changed the cars the rules and everything else
Dude, demo Matt has no chill with his wall taps 😂😂 full on smashes the wall 💥💥
When you're rich you don't have to worry lol
Just buy a new one
12`40 I love the way he`s feeding the steering wheel through his hands, just like he had a driving examiner, sat next to him!
Went from turbo whistles to spoolin turbos for entire crowds. Proud to have been here since day 1.
I don’t think I stopped smiling once! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
