Shoutout to all the TH-camr engineers who said the Blazer would never drive like this 😘
TALK THAT TALK CLEET👏👏
Gotta love the keyboard drivers!
I love it here 🥰
Ol Cleeter really stepping up the shit talking game to the people that doubt lol
TH-cam engineers are the smartest there are though
I think the Blazer is my new favorite on the channel, everything else is just kind of so refined and bad ass but the blazer's just a big dumpy beast, I love it.
It's just so disrespectful yet brilliant at the same time. She's a rowdy beast and it's the perfect car for George to rip
it really fits George to me, funny and badass
I agree! And with George piloting it! It’s just plain bad ass!
Crazy rowdy burnouts I love it.
Gonna have to disagree with ya there bud. Leroy is #1
I’m from Kearney and was at this race! My 14 year old was beyond excited that he got to meet u and take a pic. Cleetus you are a true class act!! Way to rock those times it was pretty intense in the stands too! 🤘🏻🇺🇸
See the scammers are still at it. Hope you dont give them any thing
@@Gettinbentfishing Report them for spam.
Your welcome buddy I just know you too well when it comes to last minute rooms 😂 and yes i was up on my feet all by myself today for the first time and even drove to a Dr apt! God Is Good all the time even if your brake fluid isnt!!! Love you guys miss ya!!
Way to go brother Chet given God all the glory. Praying for ya
Hope you are feeling ok.
@@1STGeneral would you say a prayer for me too ?
Can we all just appreciate how he’s Cleetus is working. First month of freedom, now a video basically every day in June. This man seriously needs a vacation!
This IS his vacation.
I think he loves his job so much that he doesn't need one lol
It’s really cool how far Rocky has come in just a year. Once you guys get all the little things dialed it’s gonna be nuts. Need get him a custom pair of parachutes with his little cartoon face on one and Bueno Dias on the other!
That thing will fly if they can keep the front end on the ground.
@@ryanlamfers8692 absolutely!
@@ryanlamfers8692 definitely 8 second capable. Keeping the wheels down is a tall order. I was hoping that having the engine down so low and forward would help, but theres just too many horsetorques.
YES
@@garrettstevens2232 Wheelie bars and slicks maybe? I know wheelie bars and radials are mortal enemies. lol... There's a formula though. It can be done.
Cletus just earned some more respect points in my eyes he could easily have said that was to the 7.04 pass and they couldn’t argue it
Yeah he has a following so he can't pull that kind of bullshit
then ran a 7.24 so it could of been a 7.04 or a 7.64
@@Thedude897 that could be a reason but a more likely reason is because he didn’t believe it was a correct ET.
@@hiddenfingerb2072 He's driven the car enough to be able to tell the difference. When I drag raced I could tell a quarter of a second difference with my car. Different type of racing but Bobby Allison said he could tell when his car slipped a quarter of an inch at the rear tires.
That track was full of debris from the farmland blowing all over, that back half had lots of junk flying in the windows.
Totally appreciate that you acknowledged that it "Didn't Feel Like" a 7:04 and were positive it was a timing error.
Right cause it was clean and fast but not that fast! Lol maybe a 7:4 or 7:5 kinda wonder what it really was not sure if they said.
@@latrelldies23 He later ran a 7.2 so...
@@eriklarson9137 @Erik Larson Yeah I think it was correct. The track was freshly prepped and you can see him hit the scramble button on the top end and I think it just put out way more than he's used to up top. I don't even see him using the scramble button on the next pass with the 7.2. The second beam that calculates mph was probably blocked but that time was correct for sure.
Titanium exhaust is so cool.
Just admiring how deep the purple colour is. Big ups to Ty😎
That Blazer is a monster. I can’t imagine how loud it is in person too.
It's loud lol
It's definitely crazy loud lol probably one of the loudest ls engines I've ever heard lol
Love how the big block sounds like it is barely trying, dropping sevens like it is nothing. Then you have George trying to keep the blazer from doing a backflip haha!
Part of me wants George to make a fast clean pass, the other part wants to see more blazer going womp womp
YES
Same same
I want to see them throw a wheelie bar on there so they can launch it real hard
@@Greg1096 was just thinking the same thing
I don't care what it does as long as it keeps sounding like that.
lol bro that dude with the welding truck posting up at the race track is a damn genius.
I think the race organizers pay for them to come out, same as some of the parts trucks that are there. They know people are going to break and need things.
Same for the guys that bring those portable lifts out. lol
and the tire guys
They just want everyone to finish... so many could not complete over little things prior.
I love how Mullets door violently shakes when you put the window up or down because the door is so much lighter than the window itself lol
Small price to pay for lighter car
What a stand up dude. Garrett is a real role model for the young guys. 👏
Let's go boys. My wife and I have been trying to get a spot in Rocky Mountain Race Week for 2 years. She was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer 2 years ago and this is a bucket list item for both of us. Hopefully they'll let us compete in 2.0 this year. We are huge fans and look forward to seeing y'all in the next one. Hell Ya Brother...
I couldn't imigane. My wife and I will pray for your precious wife!! This needs to happen. I pray the right people see this.
I wish your wife great things in the future, keep the faith.
Good luck, I hope you can get your spot! Maybe if we make this blow up enough cleet might see it and be able to pull some strings? 🤘
@@TheOmw2000 it's gotta happen they deserve it.
Cleet, help make this happen!!
I could only imagine being cleet for a day. You must have been just as nice and kind in the past life as this one. one love.
One love brother
I heard him and Matt from Vet Ranch are both actually just children on each other's shoulder in a trench coat. That's why cleetus is so tall.
I truly believe that while it would have been great to see Ed join everyone on race weeks like this (RIP Ed) I feel like Sam is a great addition to the crew and love seeing content with him in it (and watching him rock that 'Vette down the track!)
It would have been great to see Ed rip through the gears in Neighbor on a race week event. RIP!
Don't mean to be disrespectful but who is Ed
@@tyhedges2009 Ed was clets neighbour and the reason neighbour is called that. He passed away when the channel was still pretty small, neighbours ford badges say ForEd
@@tyhedges2009 Ed was a legend and was lucky enough to watch Leroy come to life I’m glad his last days were filled with entertainment from Cleetus
Sam really is a super good guy I was at bandimere today and was looking at his car totally didn't see the cones to keep people away so I was right next to his car looking at it and he just comes up and asks me how I'm doing and talks about the weather when he totally could've just asked me to leave for being in their space
Can we all just appreciate that cleetus casually just landed an airplane without even flinching?
Its entirely possible that's not his first landing.
@@KeithHeinrich redbull race planes are LS powered so….. twin turbo? Lol
Cleet bought a helicopter, just hasn't talked about it on the channel.
@@jasontruman1215 dunno if this is a joke, but they aren't LS powered lol.
@@Toxic2T They should be :)
Honestly Brent and your crew are in another level not to mention that Brent is still looking over his boiz he's making sure everyone is going fast
That right there is respect and passion
That's what we need to keep maintaining and improve the racing and motorsport industry
The Blazer is killing it!
@@fast97z24buenas noches George
@@fast97z24 Yeah it needs a chute asap
Cannot believe I’m seeing you here 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Imagine if it had a anti roll bar and good shocks
Ben! Didn't know you watched cleetus. You should do something related to cars with resin lol. Love your videos mate
I've never in my life refreshed my TH-cam feed ever 10mins for 3 hrs lol
It's 9:45am in Australia and im gona watch this from my desk at work riiighhhtt now!!
And make sure to only poop on company time! Never on break.
100%
Rocky needs wheelie bars and a parachute. Im glad George has a beast to drive now. I love his excitement.
Need to change the rear suspension
Can't put wheelie bars on a radial tire.
@@simpleman2004 there is a wheelie bar waiting for Rocky back at the shop, and I'm sure they'll order chutes to arrive for when they get back too
@@MrXennhorn Oh so are they going to put a regular slick on it?
Nice landing!
the plane or the blazer? lol
Now that’s a man that would know! Fixed gear thankfully eh Jimmy 🤫💪🏻
Zach’s an absolute beast being able to fix pretty much almost anything
It’s like George is only there to test how hard he can make life for Zach 😂
You better hook Sam up with some tires for next round. Cheer him up with some freash nittos. Love your channel🇺🇸
get him a c8! shoot I'd give my left arm to ol sam
He needs some drag radials on that Vette.
I don’t think he would be allowed to during the race week but I could be wrong
I kinda wished he got that marauder they gave away not to long ago
He didn’t tech in with any other tires so he can’t use them. If you remember Ruby got pretty much DQ’d a few years back because they were using the Leroy trailer to carry her extra tires. That’s why James would have them strapped on the roof on more recent RMRWs.
I once saw a pro golfer call out himself and it cost him the tournament. No one caught the penalty except himself. I could not believe that a pro would self report like that. He went from $1.2 million to $900k for that one stroke self penalty. Our boy Cleetus just joined that elite club of standup guys. He could have easily claimed a 7.04 time and it would not be contested. He chose the high road. Hell, that right there earned him more business than that time slip. Heading there right now to buy a straw hat. You all should too
Yessir! We should always commend these types of behaviors
Absolutely great job 👏 more respect you are winning with honesty and hard work
i love how cleetus is always the 1st to ask if he crew is ok. and to make sure their safety is always foremost for his friends
Just went back to 12/31/2017 and watched “Top Ten Videos from 2017”. Back when “Leroy the Savage” was just becoming a monster drag car! Baby face Cleetus was becoming a household name and they were doing everything from supercharging duck calls to nitrous blasting fidget spinners!LOL Lots of good times with Jeremy and Cooper. Y’all go check it out!! Let’s get it to 2,000,000 views!! LETS GOOOOOO!!
Been rewatching old videos and I gotta say Rocky Mountain race weeks are my favorite videos. To see y’all working on the cars on the days leading up then to see them perform 5-7 days straight. Then the videos of y’all driving track to track are always entertaining. It’s like watching top gear
Love these pilot dudes that show out for ol cleeter every year!
Seeing you guys film in my home town feels so unreal love seeing you guys out here safe travels guys!
The Blazer stole my heart at the first start-up with the new set-up. It sounds awesome.
The yellow Vette in yellow with those rims and tires is one of the best looking ones imo. Not a big fan of them, but Sam’s is clean!!!
A yellow vet in yellow? What other colour would a yellow vet be? 🤗
@@sjv6598 lol. It’s the color of yellow yellow!
5:50 great to see some Aussie muscle over there! Thanks for the great content guys
Cleet with the butter landing, man can this guy do it all
Absolutely loving the blazer content. You guys are living my dream job!
The fact that George is heading for bottom 9's while also filming a 90's gangsta rap video is amazing! Fuck it who needs hydraulics and all those batteries when you can hit the switches with your right foot!?
E 40: The poor man's hydraulics
Hahaha... That’s great dude 😂😂😂🦅🦅
Hell of a run brother!!! Rocky will be so sweet once you get some tighter suspension under it and get the wheelies under control. For a build with no real testing, it is doing phenomenal brother!! Shoutout to your team
Go Georgie Go - that Blazer kicks ass!!!
Mullet came around nice on them last two passes. Way to go Cletus and the whole team.
Shout out to Coady for giving airplane rides two years in a row!!
Thanks! I'll take anybody who shows interest! The guys all went up with Todd of gravity knight flying last year. Todd's from Colorado and gonna chase them around on the way to Pueblo tomorrow.
@@coad_kawi that's awesome dude! I'd love to get into it, but unfortunately there's always the money issue and my mom would likely have a fit lol
Wish I could watch a video of their perspective!
@@TminusDoom Take a look at Gravity Knight Flying on YT. He's got a bunch you'll enjoy!
Not just a ride, let Garret land it!
You need a wheelie sensor or wheelie bar on that blazer that thing is a Dicey 🎲 especially with Richard Hammond 2.0 driveing 😂
I started calling him "wheelie" when they first started racing that machine
Blazer needs a wheelie bar at this point just to see what it will do.
Can't, only the big tire cars can have them
Maybe the blazer should be their first big tire car.
At this point, Rocky wheelies so hard that when wheelie bars hit, it’d likely unload the tires.
@@patrickthomas3859 2 door blazer on a 33" slick would look badass.
@@patrickthomas3859 Mullet is big tire, but Cleetus likes to run small tire for events like this. I know eventually he'll be big tire exclusive with Mullet.
We got to meet Sam in person today! Wish we could’ve met you, Brett, George, and Zach today! Good luck, can’t wait to see tomorrow’s video at our Bandimere home track!
Landing that light of a plane ain’t easy. Butters the landing too.. anything that cleet touches with a motor, he masters.
Man, sorry to hear about the car accident. Just got in one myself but everyone was ok. Be careful out there everyone.
You have one hell of a crew Cleet. God bless all you guys.
Can’t say how proud I am of George not flipping the Blazer yet! He’s got a bad track record with wheelie cars, but he’s holding it down!
Just got back home from several hours at Bandimere. No spoilers here, but was blown away by the event and how everyone, every class just seemed to be having the time of their lives. Really special thanks Cletus for turning me on to it!
George looks like he’s living the dare and the dare keeps getting bigger and faster.
Everyone is talking about the cars but are we gonna talk about the fact that cleet landed a plane buttery smooth
I feel like he had a lot of help with that other stick tho lol
He's never said it, but I'm pretty sure he's a fully licensed pilot. 99.9% sure I've seen him piloting a helicopter in other channel's videos and those are way harder to fly than a plane.
@@2005StangMan oh cool
@@2005StangMan he is, he has his commercial and own helicopter. And yes landing a plane is much easier than landing a helicopter lol
I think it's a zenith airplane but yeah it's not as easy as he makes it look
11:16 take a second and pause on this time stamp. That front end looks BAAAAAD. DANG GEORGE, you kicked Rocky’s ass !
Nothing some zip ties and duct tape won't fix
Zip Stich Son!
@@Redsparrow12 this is very true.
Gotta admit, was a little nervous about the blazer when I found out it didn’t have a anti roll bar. But it seems to have a driver mod! Love the content
I absolutely love seeing Brent ride shotgun in the Elco again. These videos make my day! HELL YEA BROTHER!!!!
You can tell it had been a long day by George's "7.22, nice!" And not all the hollering and backflips we are used to. You guys are working hard out there.
You were a little off the center line there on landing ;) love the bonus aviation content!
I was always here for the team and ruby, but now I'm here for the team and the blazer
Shoutout to Uncle Chet! Cheyenne is a really really good dude, if you haven't seen his series about the crazy old guy that wanted to race cleet in his 918 it will intrigue you and hit you in the feels...
It’s so cool to see Cletus so happy for his mates and cheering all of them on.🤙🤙🤙
I think the weight change from the big clock in mullet really upset the suspension. Maybe it's time to go over all the weight ballasts and suspension settings again and do a track day like before where you only run to the 330' and 1/8th to get that short track down.
Cleetus is the best allways trying to bring all his team with him and even build them cars for them to compete. Ps you should have George dance like Danrue everytime you do a 2 step test
Keeping the sport alive. Love to see it.
The Blazer has to be the scariest 300’ you’ll experience on a drag car.
after the fiero, ain't no big thing
Second only to the Feiro...
11:25 George is so genuine. I love it. MORE GEORGE!
That blazer is so awesome, rolling beside the elco and still stands out
That night shot in the blazer driving looked like ET was sitting in the engine bay.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that. The headers should not be glowing like that just cruising.
Join us on the next episode where Cleet buys an LS airplane.
Im sure they build mini spitfire kits running an Ls...
I wonder if you can shoehorn one in a Kitfox
@@christianbuczko1481 They do. 3/4 size Spit with an LS aero conversion.
It's been done w/ at least a few aircraft, including a C-172 (seems way-overkill; they cruise at about 105Kts.), a Murphy Moose (good back country design), the Republic SeaBee (amphibious, w/ a large cabin), and someone is building a Velocity 4-seater w/ LS3 power (looks fast, but may be tight for taller pilots). Or, for "go really fast", a Thunder Mustang, 3/4 scale P-51 w/ a Falconer 600 cu. in. V-12, based on a Chevy Small Block!
I see a plane being apart of the whole fleet in the near future! 👌🥰
Thanks for all this content man you and the team you've made are badass! 👌👌💪💪
Thank you to you and your team for providing the best content, editing on point.
Love the way you have a problem, then solve it.
Keep it up 👍
So awesome seeing rocky and mullet just killing it out there.
Been waiting 2 dang days for this!!!!!! Let's go!!!
Goddamn it's good to see Brent. I miss him lately.
You dont watch pfispeed?
I swear cleet can drive anything he gets behind. Lands a plane with ease?!?! What!🤣 keep er going buddy the amount of work you do is incredible
4:08 ish George "when we get high?" We just gonna gloss over that? Lol 😜🤣
I love how all the dust particles in the car start floating and then settle back down when you stop.
can we all just take a sec to appreciate cleets honesty and humbleness he couldve easily taken that 7.04 but he didnt cleet you never fail to amaze me keep it up brother
They couldn't go any faster on their current tires in that track. He literally said it in the video that the traction control was already working overtime on that last run. That's the fastest they could go in that condition with their setup.
@@Sabrinahuskydog not what he’s saying. The track had an error in recording the second pass and it gave him a 7.04 they could’ve taken that when it didn’t actually run a 7.04
@@Sabrinahuskydog i watched the video too 🤦🤦he couldve easily took that slip but he didnt thats what i was pointing out obviously none of them could run that fast that day but he couldve said he did
Mullet needs some pins on the bed area so you can mount the hood to the rear of the car and not have it floppin around on the roof of the trailer.
i love drag racing, especially when ur car is running right and everything goes smooth, that's the addiction. like riding a wave, hitting a homerun. life at its purest.
Props to George. The man can drive!
Thats no easy feat, pushin that thing down the track so fast
Please go Big Tire so mullet can run what it deserves!
The Blazer is tearin shit UP! and the old girl aint even dialed, she's just got a big block swap and GO GO GO! imagine once you can get the suspension to act right, and dial in traction control!!
The blazer is considered a small block...........a 427 LS. Mullet is a big block.
@@CGT80 its a 427? i thought it got Toast's old blueprint big block
@@eddominates The old big block 632 was not built for a blower, hence the issues in Austrailia. They were going to use a blueprint 540 until they got the rod shop engine. They were going to use the 6L LS that Parker borrowed and then ended up using the 427 LS. I don't recall how that changed. Cleetus said the 632 BB would go to the ramp truck, then recently they put that in one of the other burn out cars (maybe a crown vic, for one of the less seen friends of the channel to use. They ran it at Indy or one of those tracks and it is carbed and on pump gas). Cleetus said he had something better for the ramp truck. I would have to go back to see why the blazer got a 427 vs. the rod and piston 6L.
@@CGT80 I thought the Blazer got the 540 Blueprint engine since they weren't gonna use it in Toast
@@eddominates I don't think a 540 ever showed up. They said that was the engine blue print said to use and before it showed up, they got the rod shop engine.
I bet that Blazer can do 8's easily with some suspension tweaks.
Blazer is the best build on the channel hands down, such a badass unit.
I've always loved watching the blazer its always barely controlled chaos... kudos to George for keeping that right foot in the blower and turning in 9sec pass .
Look at cleet slip that plane in and grease the landing!
At this rate by end of the week Tye’s gonna be reclipping the blazer again due to repeatedly slapping the front end slowly tweaking it little by little
I hope so. Let 'er eat. I am not here to watch anything less.
@@eriklarson9137 Truth.
Imma be honest. It just doesn't feel the same without ruby and Leeroy. But nonetheless I am still gonna watch. You boys have fun.
rubys gonna be a monster when she gets mullets old motor
Shout-out UNCLE CHET.. get well soon 😊
"Wait... DID HE STOP?!" 🤣🤣🤣
Glad y’all are killing it. I’m not saying I was one of the “TH-cam engineers” but I was one of the ones concerned about the safety and having all the kinks worked out. I’m glad it’s all worked out
21:27 look at the blazer exhaust glowing red cruising down the road maybe timing related?
need to put mullet on big tires and show the street outlaws how it is done.
Funny enough he switched the tires back out for this event. I'm surprised he hasn't ditched small tire for good on Mullet. He wants 6's, he better keep it how he had it.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 switched it? It was never a big tire car.
@@1216jimmyz He had a set of 305’s on it for the dyno test is what OP means.
@@KJ-kw7gh and you think that’s a “big” tire? SMH.
The thing is he’s king of the small tires right now. If he switches to big tire, he’s going to need a lot more car to compete. Motor, drive train and chassis wise. If you take a look at his M.O. he puts his effort towards things he can outright win. (Stick shift class, radial unlimited, etc) his channel doesn’t want to see him come in 8th place consistently. There’s a lot more money and a bigger set of competition in big tire.
Badass to see people with work trucks welding and fixing and everything in between for the racers. 👍
Haven't been to great bend in a few years. Glad to see they Haven't changed anything.
Buenos noches from Trinidad and Tobago.
How could James not make it something is up with that.
Been wondering myself
Probably spending time with the family. I'm sure everyone at the shop is taking a vacation
Busy guy. Hard to take 2 weekends out of your schedule.
I think it would be a good idea for George to leave the line at idle
I'm an old school guy. I love watching these videos because I get to see you guys go through the process of dialing it in and I learn so much. It's cool because I can compare what we used to do with how it's done now and it all makes sense. I dig how you have all this telemetry at your fingertips and so many parameters you can tweak to get it just right. This would have been NASA level shit back when I was your ages and constantly messing with the carb trying to get rid of that off-idle bog when I punched it.
I am with ya on that being 62 years old. The cars are like spaceships today.
I can’t say that I actually let a a big smile watching many other TH-cam channels, but every time you get pumped up after a fast run I’m always grinning ear to ear
I definitely feel like it'd be cool to get freedom raycons, that'd be dope, ur sponsored by them already
How do u like the newly paved road outside Great Bend? I'm on the crew that paved it.
Sure that was nice. Apparently they hit a horrible construction zone on the drive to Bandimere. From what I saw in the facebook group everyone was complaining.
We did that road about a month ago
