Leroy really be RIPPING like I always dreamed of. We will go 6’s by Christmas I’m confident 🇺🇸
Leroy’s pass was cool and all but I can’t get over the ag hole in 1
and the mini bogger!
Thanks you mr McFarland
With the cooler air I don't see why not
Hey Cleet in the beginning of the video the right front tire seems to have a buldge in the sidewall may be worth looking into
Cleetus and team, Look at what your rims are doing on the rear of Leroy at 12:14 and replay this as a frame by frame and you'll see that Leroy's rear rims are distorting at the "Dish" and going "Toe-in" and pulling his rear end, around, all over the place on bad track. Maybe a set of sturdier Rims to hold his power should be on the cards. It'll make a difference!
Same issue big power DSMs had back in the day. They caused some horrible toe issues on launch.
Might be onto something here
good eyes
Just commenting to bump this up. Hopefully Garrett sees it.
.
Thats a good call
5 years ago you took Leroy to taco bell and got 10 baha blasts with zero cup holders. 6th gear burnouts. And trying to even drift it around a track. Now it’s straight Racecar and you have your own track! Crazy how much you’ve grown. You inspire me with every video. And I’ve seen every one of them lol. Keep up the crazy good work McFarland fab!!!
And his own racing team, and a gem of a wife, and a lil kid, and he owns part of motion raceworks and TBM brakes, and has his own web store and so on 😂😂
@@rubenbraekman4515 and we’ve just been watching him 😅. I have some nice cars but defiantly haven’t done what he’s done with them
The way George's excitement rises, after saying "leroy the Savage" is the best
George and cameraman work is fire right now - getting a bit more intimate in the car shots
Georgie is definitely a Fan Boi
@@tatertots-n-soup What? Lol what’s wrong with Georgie being a fan boy? He’s just super happy for ol cleeter and Leroy. Hell I am fired up myself 😂
@@trevorsanchez2470 actually that wasnt meant to post to this comment.
It was removed
Ripper is born and Leroy instantly goes on a heater. Hell yea
Brother
Jealous sibling syndrome, just wants the attention and happy to watch
@@4x4andfishing 😂😂
Glad I'm not the only one seeing little man being a good luck charm
We need to make a compilation of every Leroy PB run from beginning of the project up until now!
I would watch the hell out of that.
I'm extremely tempted to do that, but bc of an upcoming hockey tournament and the fact that doing this would take 12 hours+, it'll have to wait until Monday/Tuesday
no that comes after the 6 second pass
@@williamyurick4700 no it should be the video that shows the 6 second pass show every pb then the end one being the 6
And then make a compilation of Ruby's runs from the beginning and Mullett's
Just an engineering thought on that sliding piece in the wishbone, Aluminium is quite "sticky" it may be worth going for a hard anodised finish, just allow for the hard anodise as it will make it a larger diameter, or go for a steel one either way maybe DU type bushes. You as a team have produced an absolute rocket of a car.
Idk why they don’t use duralumin bushings inserts in the wishbone. Also I might be wrong but I’m thinking the purpose of the floating two piece design is to allow the suspension to articulate, not so much to extend as the suspension drops out.
What material is the outside pipe? I would probably suggest pressing in some Oilite bronze bushings and replacing the rod with a chrome rod for hydraulic cylinders. That should both prevent sticking and make the rod very hard to wear out.
They did cut down the tolerance for better lube but I'm with you on an anodized finish.
That could be the Trump Card!
What about some DLC coating?
@@MrJamesBanana too much weight
There's never been nor will there ever be a TV show or anything else that will compare to the quality, entertainment, and personalities on this channel.
Thank you for the memories, I get so excited when I see your posts on any media. HYB, DIFD!
Tye owning up to a mistake is so honest and humble..progress not perfection
Wouldn't call it much of a mistake even, bro just got bamboozled with the materials
when you lie to your employer it usually comes out sooner or later and things end bad
@@mcf3778 that was the biggest lesson i learned when i was a young fella.
This requires a no fault leadership. Garret runs a solid ship here and these guys are obviously happy to go to him and say hey boss we screwed this up and here's how we fix it. Being results focused means so much to the kind of people that want to solve problems. Blame is just an anchor.
@@mcf3778 thats so not true, some parts say no lubrication required upon installation, so its not exactly Tye's fault. Everyone makes mistakes, its life, we learn and move on
Been watching since the turbo whistles on the c7 and Jesus Leroy is just so damn clean now
Somewhere around there here too
Hell yeah brother. Me too, some cleetus OGs in here.
Any idea what year that was?
Me too
@@cameltoe9245 about 2017… I just scrolled to the beginning of videos on the channel and there is a bunch of videos missing… not sure why they are not there… corvette turbo whistles video is still up though…
Wise dad cleetus “we’re only gonna run the 1/8th, be easy on it”
Young cleet “drain the block I’m sending it”
"We're going to burn it down but we're going 7's tonight" 🤣🤣🤣
older wiser cleet, it needed refreshed after two passes anyway......send it!
nascar style spare motor and transmission bolted together in hauler and quick disconnects for test and tunes!
When he ran that pass with no water the engine builder told him the block needed work anyway and to send it
Just re watched leroy's 7 second pass and now this. Pure Freedom
Crazy progression from when they first ran a 7 throwing everything at it to now letting off at the 1/8th to coast to a 7
She wants to go 6s . Being here since the bald eagle machine days it's crazy how far everything has come . Leroy deserves a 6.
Does the name Leroy sound feminine to you?
he

@@creednsLeray
@@creedns I'm dead 💀
I don't know what it is about Leroy but I get super excited everytime you get on a track with him..
Wise words from James "start off where we left off"
Hey brother I just wanted to say congratulations on your baby he will definitely be a little ripper when he gets old enough. I’ve been in the hospital for 10 hours and got my son at 4:06 this morning. I’m glad Leroy is running for them sixes.
Congratulations brother fatherhood no better feeling.
Congrats brother!
Congratulations on becoming a father I wish you and your son stay healthy 🎉
Congratulations!!! I wish you lots of health and many happy days for you and your family!!!
I bet it is his second or third kid that races
That pit bike sounded like it was straight ripping then the camera pans over to it and it’s going at walking speed! 😂
I thought, who in the fork is blasting through the pits, camera pans over and a turtle would have been going faster. 🤣🥳
Whats messed up is how slow it looks like its moving because of how smooth it is going down the track. Crazy work guys!
It's like on Top Gear: smooth celebrity lap was a fast celebrity lap.
Been here since the very beginning of Leroy. Can't believe how far he has come. And how little of him is left 😂
All that is left is the cracked windshield.
@@paulcopeland9035 And the side skirts that has "Built for Leroy" on it, since the car was originally a custom built to order Corvette
And the targa top loop thingy, I'm not a corvette guy so don't come at me lol
I can’t believe they’re still calling it a corvette 😂
Right lol the original video of it looks so ugly compared to the modern version
Does anyone giggle evilly thinking how crazy Leroy would be with mullets power
Next step may be a Steve Morris big block...or I hope so
@@rhinostrange8025 SMX FTW!
prolly too much weight in the front and not enough traction in the back to hold a big block, I'd be willing to bet he gets an SML eventually tho
@@maxhilton325 i would love to see leroy with mullets power. leroy with a mid engine setup? MERCY LOL
@@DailyElectrician would probably be similar to the starlets we saw in the world cup videos
Brother Leroy wants it so bad. I can feel it. First stick shift LS car in the 6s! Hell yea. Can't wait to see it.
I remember when Cleet said Leroy would not go into the 6s. Leroy can do anything.
@Official_cleetus_mcfarland scam
Leroy said “hold my methanol, watch this”
That’s also when he said Leroy was a street car 😂 now it’s a full blown race car
@@jacobjblevins Leroy is dead. This is a whole new show!!! Dune buggy dragster!
I Remember that also he's came so far lates go 6s Leroy you can do it brother !!!!
Cleeter I just want to congratulate you on assembling the best crew on TH-cam! Unbelievable entertainment!
Something about Leroy makes me happy. I've been watching Leroy since he was just a baby and grew up with him on this channel. Mullet is a beautiful fast car, and I love Elco's, but Leroy is by far my favorite car. Maybe because it is what brought me to this channel, maybe its just so effin cool. The more content of this car the better imo!
So stoked to see 1.06 from Leroy! Was scared he’d never come back fully once Mullet became the crown jewel, but the savage is back and so much better than he’s ever been! Also, super happy that the videos are still coming out after little Ripper made his debut! The dad life is working well for you Cleet🤙🏽 been here since before my daughter was born in ‘17. Haven’t missed a video in over 5 years
So happy to see Leroy back in action and kicking ass! Hell yeah brother, let’s go!!!
Let’s go Leroy. So excited to see him going for fastest stick shift records
I'd adjust the rebound a couple clicks
George flicking the line lock solenoid @ 17:57 had my dying. 😂😂 I love the team and all their personalities.
Get Tye to chuck the wishbone slider up in the lathe and cut some grooves in it to hold the grease. Tight tolerance between the slider and the wishbone is squeezing all your grease out.
@Andrew Lucy👆👆👆
Came here to say the same thing. 👍
1.0X 60 foot! holy jeepers that's frickin savage. 2.5G launch that's savage, Leroy the Savage is absolutely 100% back and better than ever. I'm so happy to see that he's back and working in the right direction. And to all the guys on the McFarland racing team congrats on the hard fought victory, you guys are killing it, I'm so happy for all of you.
I did not expect things to progress soo quickly after the big change to Leroy. Wow!
Man I swear the way everybody on the team can just look at the time slip or just listen to the car and be able to tell exactly whats the issue!! is amazing to me. Very knowledgeable guys and great team work
Indeed, the McFarland Gang know all their hotrods - inside and out. :)
@@quickdeuce The CleetusMcFarlandRacingTeam are obviously, clearly full of extensive Falsehood, Nonsense and lacking within many basics.
@CleetusM; @Cleetus McFarland;
Sincerely
Time to keep a backup clutch on hand maybe? Leroy is sure putting in work
Man I love these old school trial and tribulation videos with Leroy.
It's great watching Leroy trying for records again. I remember when u wanted a 7 so bad u ran it dry with a bad head gasket. It was a blast to watch.
So glad to see Leroy faster then ruby again pissed me off back in the day seeing ruby become faster!
Right-On Brother
it was like ruby surpassed leroy with almost no effort from the team. good to see leroy back in action
@@Wulthrin ruby is an automatic. Its still converting torque while shifting. A manual losses all forward momenum while shifting. Making it need like 40-60% more horsepower than the previous shift to transfer weight to the rear after rolling vs standing. The new clutches, use to be illeagle or still are in nhra so no one built them. But the last 10years has been all about ihra. So the rules make it fair and competitive for everyone.
All the frustrations you and your crew go through, these kind of videos get me pumped up! I’m so excited for what’s to come!
@in hoc signo vinces👆👆👆
The wonderful thing about you guys is the honesty and humble attitudes that really wins the hearts of the fans!
“It’s that newfound dad strength.”
So true. Congrats, Cleet! You’ll get the 6s!
You've gotta rein in that "Dad Strength" brother! So stoked for your team and Leroy!
Man, I’m so happy for you becoming a dad, and doing well. Just makes me happy.
Would love to see Zach and Tye have their own project cars on the channel. I think they deserve it.
I agree 100% Leroy would be nothing without Zach and Tye 110%
I really love watching you and your videos but I would like to see a video with each of your guys telling a story about where they came from how you found them maybe starting with James you know those guys need all the appreciation in the world you definitely got The A-Team
I wait for Cleetuses videos everyday . Mainly the Leroy ones but I watch them all. this Chanel has gotten me threw some hard moments. Thank y’all so much for what you do!
Man being able to watch the suspension settle as you rip through the gears is awesome with the in car view. I remember the first video you made with Leroy right after you bought him and wow is it incredible to see how far you both have come. Keep up the great work brothers, everything you have and everything you are is a testament of your character and the team that you have assembled to complement you 🏁 🇺🇸
I wish we could see all 4 wheels simultaneous from in car cam with little editing work to sync.
@@tatertots-n-soup yeah it would definitely be cool seeing the weight transfer and how each corner is reacting to shock adjustments
James: let's start going for where we left off
Leroy: hold my ball bearings
Leroy has come so far! I was there the day he broke into the the 8s and here we are on the brink of 6s. Leroy is launching incredible. Congrats to the crew man… they got Leroy dialed
I love when people walk you through a mistake they have made and it’s good teaching moment for everyone. Thanks Ty 😎😇
Not gonna lie, this was one of the most exciting videos I’ve watched yet.
Absolutely insane.
You and the crew man…
The stars have aligned for you boys
I love watching how each member of the Team brings there thing, suspension,tuning, servicing and obviously enthusiasm, helps the whole thing become a Beast.
Yes more Leroy so glad he’s back in the game
Keep ur head up. U guys are killing it! My favorite channel by far. I have all my friends watching too. Love it guys. Keep up the great work all around. Thank u
I know you won't see this, but your content is contagious, to think where you started and now what you have become is comendous, pat yourself on the back garret!!👏👏👍👍. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Man can I just say I would adore working for someone like Garrett. Wrenching on a car, a car the will make history, and getting to really do what I’m truly passionate about.
i love how you knew James was the one who set up that line lock switch cause he knew right away what the issue was and dove in to fix it lol
It's so awesome seeing the progress. Going from literally fighting to run a 7, to rolling to a 7 after lifting at the 1/8th. Great job to you and your team. HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Come on Leeroy!! You're driving the program so hard Garrett!! it's incredible to watch how hard you're all working so hard and pushing the boundaries. Get's me so excited watching this!
Leroy rippin new records always gives me the goosebumps watching! Love these!
Might as well fit a grease fitting to the wishbone so you don't have to pull it apart to grease it. You could also add some Oilite bronze bushings if you want.
i thought of that two, cnc a cap fitting both end and a grease zerk
Hell freakin yeah!!!!!! I'm so glad Leroy is back!!!! Awesome job guys!
That first leave was INTENSE. Leroy is FLYING!
That's got to be a good feeling after all the struggles you've had. It's gonna happen, it's just a matter of time, watch out Grubb Worm, Cleets comin'!
You remember all the old turbo whistles and duck call BOVs
Love these track days, behind the scenes tuning and adjustments. Keep pushing!
"It's that new found dad strength" George is hilarious 😂
I love this type of content from you guys! Really enjoyed this!
Loving the daily videos, awesome, and pretty amazing that a new dad can pull it off as his own editor
Leroy is killing it! Great job, guys.
Absolutely love these videos! When the team all comes together for a track day!
Before you make that second pass, while it's paused, I just got to say... Those new wheels are absolutely sick! Leroy is looking 🔥
Is it just me or does anyone else have an extreme fascination for watching Leroy's rear tires during every run? So pleasing lol
Makes sense
i want them to expand like an RC car xD
@@charlieward7606 Richard Childress Racing Car?
That would be really cool to see them go that far. But I dont think Cleetus would like the nascar circuit.
@@tatertots-n-soup haha no like the remote control cars, the wheels expand when. They go really fast hahah
@@charlieward7606 they would need bias ply drag slicks for that. They have only ever run street tires. And that car isnt clearenced for that. But would add a certain scare to the whole image I guess
Cleeter the issue you have on the wishbone corroding inside is called "Contact Corrosion" it is a chemical reaction and happens everytime you put steel and aluminium together without a isolator in between them...
An isolator can be grease but you have to stay on top of it and don't get lazy with maintaining/regreasing it otherwise you will encounter always the same issue but then when you DON'T need it the most hahahahaha.
I would recomend you to use black "Graphite grease" since its a good isolator and it lasts longer then regular grease 💪🏻😁
With best regards

honestly I'm shocked the suspension manufacturer didn't teach them?
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei maybe they don't know themself.
That's why it is very important to give manufacturers good feedback so they can improve !
@@thaninjaaaa8970 I hope a manufacturer would know about electrolysis and issues with dissimilar metals. It's a very well known phenomena that happens in any trade or construction.
@@mikewhitman745 most of them know I guess but then you have the factor of long term testing most of thouse performance part manufacturers can't test their products on a long term with all different kind of weather conditions and so on...
That is why they rely on customer feed back wich use their parts in all kinds of conditions and time periods.
@@thaninjaaaa8970 electrolysis happens. In the construction field its a no no to let dissimilar metals touch. Can't use steel straps on copper, don't let copper water lines touch steel beams. It's even worse with boat construction.
If a manufacturer didn't know about that phenomena then they probably shouldn't be designing and selling things that are geared toward performance, the harshest and most dangerous conditions in the automotive field. They could lead to...I don't know, maybe binding suspension at 200mph? Sounds dangerous to test your products on the customer knowing they are going to push the limits.
Proctor Silex will literally bend a plug wire a hundred thousand times to test is durability. I've been to the factory and have seen it myself. They could do more testing or they could market it and find the failure points with their customers health.
Just my take and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Glad to see the captain back in action and doing so well!!!! We've missed you Leroy !!!!
Cleet has probably the best team sitting behind him. this guy is taking records, and these guys are learning from mistakes right way which is awesome, everyone makes mistakes. These guys are legendary .
Hail yeah! Been waiting for this video right here. Absolutely bad ass Cleeter, you and ya team should be so frikn proud. Well done peoples.
Shoosh!!
You have got one hell of a team. They always catch the smallest things that save you in the long run.
Crazy to see how far these guys have come over the past 5 years of watching. Really, really incredible stuff.
The Leroy/Cleetus team made this channel what it is and I am so happy to see him ripping better than ever. I just smiled for 23 minutes straight. No other TH-cam channel does that for me.
I must say being a sub since before leroy, it feels great to see leroy brand new set up doing brand new things. There was a while where leroy was out of order and it felt like every other car was taking the shine. But man now leroy is back doing big big things.
That is not Leroy!
On that wishbone piece you could have the aluminum shaft hard coated with Teflon in hard coat. Might help
7.93 after letting off at the 1/8th is stunning. I remember them trying to get it into the 7's, now it only needs to try for the 1st half to get that.
Chasing records again with Leroy, love it!
Scuttle flex is a real possible cause for the skipping especially at this power level.
An extra triangulation for the A-pillar and on the cage near where the roofline is trimmed away.
I cannot wait for that GrubbWorm race once Leroy is dialed even more
Leroy needs mullets motor this ones almost at its limits and mullet need the upgrade to go low 6s
Uhhh....GrubbWorm is in the 6.60's bro. Leroy, while definitely a beast, don't want none of that smoke.
@@blayne369 nah, grubbworm use lt1 engine, 329ci not even 427, so what do you mean leroy need mullet motor?
@@allieandbo grubb worm only going 1.11 to the 60ft on the 6.61 pass Leroy cracked of a 1.06 and there under 30psi boost the whole pass
@@allieandbo 1.06 on the 60’ is roughly a 6.57 pass….
Loving these test and tune day videos. Keep em coming!! ✌
If you are running a launch control device like a bangshift billy or MAPerformance or Magnus, when back in the pits, the clutch can be held disengaged for quicker cooling around the clutch area with the pit fans. Also these launch control devices can be setup with a 2 step and line lock operated by a switch on your steering wheel, just like a trans brake auto....
Leroy is just teasing us all with this hahah. Can't wait to see that first 6! its coming for sure
Been here since day one. I remember when the original cleater video was released and I died laughing. Then your channel came out and I was one of the first 1000 or so subs. It’s absolutely amazing to see you come from a college kid who likes cars to one of the biggest drag racing and automotive influencers on the planet.
Same bro it's a hell of a journey to watch, the events in person are bananas
I third that. I like alot of car channels but this one is the only one I actually smile the hole way through and actually lol sometimes.
I'm from nz and was never a car guy much, then I saw one of his videos and I can tell you its the team , The good houmor and the integrity that got me hooked , now I love me some freedom tourqes, watch every video 👍
Same here I was in the first 200! I remember showing all my friends this channel
@@isaacboettcher3489 Oh yeah? I WAS HIS VERY FIRST CHANNEL VIEW AND SUBSCRIBER.
Me and Garrett are best friends!
Go team! You guys are killing it
Cleet got us all rooting for a car like it is a person. I love that all the cars on this channel are every bit as much characters, with their own personalities, as the humans. It keeps us wanting to see them, and we don't realize we miss them (like the galaxy in the Lemullets video) until we see them again.
Awesome sponsor shoot. Laughed the whole time.
That was the best first pass I’ve ever seen anywhere ever in my life. So clean so perfect just to much to list. The best first pass ever with anything. Hell ya guys.
That was still awesome. Great job by the whole team.
Lov. Seeing Leroy run 🏃♀️!
Bald Eagles INCOMING! Let's go boys, chasing the record boys!
I'm a bit concerned about the pilot bearing area of the input shaft on the transmission. Looks like the pilot bearing may be trying to seize up. Let's go Leroy!!!
Love your work and dedication from a Aussie car nut brother.
Small tip place a couple of old valve springs that will fit in side the outer tube on that rear link bar will stop all bind and use stainless steel anti gaul lubricant as well 😀 GOOD LUCK HOPE I CAN HELP...
That’s amazing Leroy’s is breaking his old records so fast. 1st pass blew away his new old 1/4 mile record. I believe Leroy easily has a high to mid 6 in him. Just got to get everything dialed in and get a perfect launch & everything! Congrats boys!!
So freaking close to 6s… I got faith in ol Leroy. 🦅🇺🇸💪🏼
You can tell Ol’Cleet is wanting that 6 bad!! We are here with you brother 💙
I have watched.. every cleeter video on YT. That first launch.. made my jaw drop. SHOOOO boi
Great video angles to watch tire change shape during the pull.
