Big thank you to Ross, his bother, and his girlfriend for visiting the Freedom Factory and spending their day making this video! They're some great people and we hope to have them back in the future!
Need him in a crown Vic race!
That hoonigan video is epic! Love the science vids cleetus!
So cool man. Dr.Passemall is a legend.
Fix mini bogger
hes definitely an either love him or hate him type a guy. I was rooting for him to take the championship this last season
The fact you went the extra mile to get Ross himself in this video is insane.
@Coyotes79 was just about to say that lol
Agreed.
Has Cleetus ever done anything halfway???
Pretty sure they are buddies
How!!!!!! Ross for real!!!! That's so awesome!!!!!!
This is sick, shows how utterly insane chastain is. I’m sure he was going 3x as fast as dr cleet and just sent the sumbitch
Amen
Bro....this was SOOOOOO fuckin sketch....
I was worried for Dr Cleet & his prodegy the Lil Ripper
I think Chastain's saving grace was having the safer barrier. At the very least, that would cushion the impacts a tiny bit, and the inner metal wall would be a smoother surface to ride against than this one, being a cracked old concrete wall
Lol he was going 150 when he did it. Absolute mad lad
@@CurtisL8.3066
150 at martinsville in a corner riding the fence. Nope. Ain’t gonna happen.
Faster than 80 but less than 110? Sure
“I feel like you guys shouldn’t be so close to the wall.”
***takes one step back***
Not only does Cleet test it...he brings in the guy who DID it...this is awesome!
👆THANKS FOR WATCHING HIT Up
@@ricermiata_giveaway.. weakest scam attempt I've seen yet.
@@aerosaaber yeah I guess all the variations of anything similar has been reported and banned. They just trying hail Marys now
@@aerosaaber I don’t even think they had the right account
Dr. Passemall hahahahaha
"Exactly, who else is going to do all the hard stuff?"
George just won the eternal respect and admiration of every nurse everywhere.
He did it for the blue collars
at least 1 person admires him
As a dad of a kid who spends way too much time in hospitals, nurse are f**king amazing, they make everything happen..
Lmao so true
My wife's a nurse and she will love that part of the video
This needs to be a multi part series. I want to see you mount an entire suspension on the side of the car so you absorb all the bumps. Also, use bigger diameter rubber tires, that way you don't get them caught in those giant crators in the wall.
I honestly was thinking the same thing. CASTOR WHEELS!!! Bro no absorption of energy. Yeah at least big rubber wheels not the inflatable type though the ones that will compress, but will not blow.
"crater"
@@gdxd7956 come on bro...
I have this idea were they can weld some forks like the ones on bikes with triangular shapes to reinforce the thing, and get the smallest and thinnest wheels available and put them with a dually setup, and somehow hack some truck shocks into the forks. We might be into a new racing style if this catches on! Imagine a race were everyone can wallride at any given time 🥴👌
@@thetechfromheaven everyone would be fighting for wall position! Lol that would be wild! You either try to pass or just stay in wall position and no one passes. Could get 🤔
You either need larger diameter wheels to fly over the holes or you need a sort of sideways suspension to absorb the impacts. That's all you're missing
Trailer tires will be needed.
Nah, fuck the rollers. Get same metal plates, bend the front edge like sledge runners, and weld them on. The´ll take you around the bend just fine. Added bonus, the´ll make some pretty spark, too
Metal plates or extremely heavy suspension/shock absorbers to...well...absorb the shock.
@@fernbear3950 Nah, he said it himself: Its like a small crash when you hit the wall first, but its ok. These driver are used to them anyway, Yeah, you could build a fancy suspension for 10000$. But do you really need it?
It wouldn't be that pricey to rip some struts and front wheels off a crown vic and strap them to the side of another one. I know ty could get it done. They have enough of them.
The fact that Cleetus has the clout and respect to get actual Nascar drivers to his events and even to just hang out and make content says a lot for how amazing he is!
Just go look at the latest Hoonigan Gymkhana video lol
He’s a car culture icon at this point. It’s funny because he and Ross both rose to prominence from singular, rather funny events. A wall ride, and just goofing around on a 1320 video.
I mean, they are people just like you and me what does "clout" have to do with anything?
@@rgreerjr are nascar drivers and travis pastrana hanging out with you? no. they aren't. that's what "clout" has to do with anything.
@@Labergemusic was about to comment the same thing. Only thing about it was the fact it was no prep and spun for a about a mile before hooking up, not showing the cars true speed but was still super cool to watch.
This Is Definitely a “stand back I built this sh*t myself” moment 😂
100%👍🤣🤣
I knew a guy in highschool that built his first vehicle out of what I believe was 3 different trucks. It was a long frame with a single cab short bed thrown on top that was seperated in the middle because the bed wasn't long enough to go all the way so there was just this gap in-between the bed and the cab about 2-3 feet wide 😂. This was years ago but he showed up at school with it one day and told me "it's legal as soon as I wire in some brake lights and turn signals" which he was actively wiring after already showing up to school in the morning. One day, his brakes failed because I'm sure those were junkyard parts too. So he smashed it into this SUV but the owner forgave him. That truck looked straight out of Jeepers creepers bro it was THAT kind of truck. Demonic possession type truck. Nearly killed a couple people and i witnessed one of them because it was the time his brakes failed and he hit the suv. There was a guy standing in-between that ran out from in-between at the last second. Really demonic possessed jeepers creepers truck. It was so cool
It was like an old Ford pickup with the front split windows. Or a Chevy, I can't remember. It was a mixture of brands. It was repainted a million times so it looked like it crawled out of a pit from hell no joke. Like it's skin was boiled 😂 Jeepers creepers mobile straight up. He measured the fuel level with a stick you stuck into the tank with markings on it of "about" where empty, half and full tank were. It was a MACHINE. There was no bed in the bed. It was horrifically unreliable as you can tell by the brake failure
I got one of those stickers coming for my xj lol
Literally, as Cleeter had to stop and tell them all to stand back!
You MUST do a part 2 to this video. Get an engineer to design something that will hold up, like a rail of some sort or instead of casters use a regular car tire. I'm thinking Mark Roper would be all over a challenge like this. Done right you should be able to fly around that track
100% I’m with this idea
Small lawn tractor tires would probably hold up. Pneumatic tires would make a huge difference absorbing the shock of the cracks, doesn't matter that they bounce a bit since you don't need to maintain traction. You could also just put a big sheet of uhmw on some simple leaf springs and it would hold up for a few laps and slide pretty good. It would wear a lot of paint off the wall tho.
I swear Ross doesn’t realize how insane what he did was! I don’t know how I ended up getting this video suggested but I’m happy it happened! I don’t watch nascar but occasionally do $5 random driver draws and watching him take that turn got me interested in nascar
Welcome to the Cleetus army.

I grew up going to this track in the 90s and later drag raced at the strip nexdoor , im so glad you guys are keeping the place alive
I LITERALLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS COLLAB HAPPENED

@@Oldhotdogwater i was stunned seeing Mullet in there - Cleets been making moves!
Hilarious!!! Perfect fit!!
Right!

Sometimes, we want collabs or matches we will never see. In this case, it's a collab we never thought we'd get but deep down, all desperately wanted, and we got. This was awesome and hilarious!
Glad to see you guys donning the lab coats again and doing it for science!
I’m waiting for a car to attempt to recreate this and totally eat it😂
I wonder how they will come up a new rule outlawing it. I can see them saying something like "If a car purposely rides the wall on the last lap you will get disqualified or something like that" But it will probably take someone eating it and messing up a race before that happens. Honestly that was like something out of Talladega Nights
@@scottcol23 gotta wait for someone to totally flip or get DQ’d/retire for car damages. Or just say it’s against the arrow dynamic rule
The first driver to do it years ago apparently failed hard, there's some videos about it and I saw oner right after this newest infamous ride. Pretty crazy!
Ross in a Cleetus wall ride video and Cleetus in a Gymkahana video in the the same day! What a time to be alive!
Couldn't believe this years Gymkhana, it was soooooo good!
So happy I read this comment! That video was amazing, I didn't even want to blink! It's the #1 trending video on YT so obviously I'm not the only one
Who else wants to see once a week science videos? So stoked to watch this!!!!
Hell yeah brother!!
Let's goooo!!!!!!!!!
Done in the name of Dale, of course
Still want to see a crown Vic with KY jelly for engine oil!!!
That's what started Cleeter's success. The vid where he put whistles on his C7's exhaust has like 14 million views.
Crazy Stuff like this is Peak Content for me! These are the kinda Shenanigans that got me into this channel back in the day!
Y’all need to do the same thing but weld shock springs on the bars holding on the castor wheels. Those will soften the impact and allow the wheels to keep spinning, it will also make all the wheels touch the wall at the same time with the same amount of force on each wheel
Just little lawn tractor wheels. The pneumatic tires are all you need. Doesn't matter if they bounce a bit, since you don't need to maintain traction.
Cleetus pulling off the first attempt to make sure the crew is safe is why he is the best.
Not hating but...having common sense deserves no praise imo. Good on him for being safety conscious though.
@@MrPanaramuh You'd be surprised how many people would stand or see someone standing next to that wall with no catch fence and think "thats safe, theres a wall here".
@@MrPanaramuh I know you are fun at partys.
Big brain cleet
agreed, he is there to put on a show, not to get people hurt by doing something stupid. You gotta respect that.
Kevin looking at wall: “I’d hit that” 😂😂😂
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯😂💯
😅 lulz
Dead
Poor kevin 😂
"With speed, it will fix it" awesome quote from Dr passable. Words I generally live by.
As an engineering student, once I saw how the wheels were welded into the car, and knowing how fast they are going around the track with the wall ride, I knew the wheels could get crunched....
BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU GO FOR IT, FULL SEND IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE
This just proves Ross is one of us. Blue collar racer for blue collar guys. Legend. Hope he has many many championship years ahead of him.
When that sum bich took his car up on that wall and rode it into the finals, we all knew he was one of us !! LOL
@@warrenmichael918 😂😂😂😂
Ross is Florida born and raised
if you followed ross throughout his career you’d know he’s a blue collar guy. watch the mini docuseries “two track mind” with ross chastain
Ross makes me want to watch NASCAR again but as long as Wallace plays the Black side of his Mix race card I will NEVER watch again! MUCH respect for Ross and I do hope you win MANY championships! Let’s Go, Brandon!
What a great guy Ross Chastain is.. he is a top-of-the-tree Nascar driver .. and he just makes himself available to do a fun video.. the other big stars of Nascar could learn a lot from Ross with regard to fans' public relations.. giving back to the public/fans is so important.. Ross is my man to follow from now on in his Nascar journey.
these new gen of racing drivers are way more down to earth
Same here I already loved Ross before the wall ride!! Taking on Denny and the established cup drivers and beating them caught my attention! Justin Marks giving his time every week on speedway with Dave moody shows track house love of the sport.
I'm a Blaney fan but I like Ross but I think most people would come be on Cleetus' videos since he gets millions of views. It's a good way for Chastain to mayne gain a few more young Cup racing fans that watch the channel and may not know who he is.
Agreed. I think it's because he spent years driving for underfunded teams in all series before getting a lucky break with Ganassi. Glad to see someone that races with 100% commitment achieve top level success....knocking Denny out of the C4 with the wallride must have tasted sweeter than Florida watermelon
The next step should involve a lot of 1/2" steel plate, solid steel rollers that are wider, and very stout roller bearings.
nah need pneumatic tyre tings
Wheels off a proper go-kart.
I love George man lol hes got some great dad humor and you can tell hes a great friend
George holding his arm out to show his full name was priceless 😂
When he said exactly who’s gonna do the hard stuff gimmie my camera back. I busted out laughing 😂 love him 🤣
That look on Cleet’s face staring off as he heard “it’s gonna hurt” was definitely a look of concern and second guess hahaha so many doctors of different specialty fields in one place I’m learning so much here MCFARLAND UNIVERSITY specializing in everything
Mike, it’s definitely the School of Hard Knocks! Lol
oh 100% its for sure teaching us to ROLL with things!
That was a massive breakthrough for the science community. Thank you for taking the leap others were too afraid to take.
If you ever want to test this again, i think using rubber wheels will help a lot cause they can absorb the impact better than solid metal wheels. Also already being against the wall before the turn starts basically elimates the intial impact.
Ross's move was one of the best I've ever seen in Nascar in a long time! Thank you for putting a little bit of excitement back into the sport!
If I ever watch another nascar race, it will be because of Ross
It was the best move ever! Not a single moment in racing can eclipse it.
@@brianwright9514 thanks
This further cements how absolutely insane and awesome that move was in a nascar race.
Problem was, Cleet needed to get the wheels spinning on that thing like 20+ft before he did. He literally just crashed into the wall and followed through.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 they still wouldn’t have held up going 100mph

Why? It failed miserably...
@@Waynder just make the shit stronger. Stronger wheels next time.
Anything with Chastain in it i'll watch, dudes a legend
Ross was instantly remembered forever for the wall ride, legend.
Hail melon
I'm not sure what made me happier, seeing Ross and Cletus do this, or seeing Cletus and mullet on Pastranas new one. Both are epic.
Now you gotta try it with trailer tires and rims, maybe even with suspension. I'm sure that's something everyone would LOVE to see!
Cleetus and company are the spirit of nascar when it was born. It does not surprise me at all that he has been pulling big names.
Ross is such a sound guy, what a legend for coming on the channel, I'd love to see more McFarland Science videos!!!
And the fact he was totally down with going along with the joke was just awesome.
I think several of the cup guys know about Cleetus and the FF and would LOVE to come out and play!! I bet they are just worried about any sponsor backlash and just the timing with their schedules with his events. Just think if one of these days, we end up watching 4 ,5 or more nascar guys coming to the same event to run!
@@warrenmichael918 I may be wrong, but I have a feeling more pros on the field will just end up being a Nascar race with some traffic on the circle. Just feels lose-lose to the fans and the drivers as it really should just be amateurs racing.
@@CrashRacknShoot I know where youre coming from but remember, when you have 4 or 5 pros out there, the rest of these Hillbilly youtubers and fans on the track are gonna be smacking the snot out of them because they arent pros!

1:17 Cleetus: "How do you feel about this experiment?"
Ross: "Not good."
Me: hit the like button instantly
Loved that you actually got Ross to come out for this 😂 another great one DRs.
I’m so glad I picked Ross to be my favorite driver before it became cool to do so, I loved his driving style all season, I was bummed when he was about to be eliminated, I was in disbelief when he pulled that off, I got off my couch and started screaming, it was absolutely hilarious and thats why hes just absolutely amazing...hes what nascar has needed for some time.
Yep. Ross is a badass.i been watching him since He raced trucks and crappy cup cars. I knew hw was the real deal.

edit: Just watched.
holy mother of jesus. this is the type of insanity I enjoy.
Let's NO ONE overlook "Dr. Passemall" the greatest nickname ever
100% facts 👍
as an experienced NFS/Forza/GT wall rider, I recommend to get near the wall as soon as you finish your corner. that way you reduce impact forces and gives you time to aim better.
Speaking from a engineering background, I feel as if you would’ve had more success with pneumatic wheels more like the kind found on trailers or tractors coupled with a X braces or triangles braces frame between them as press molded steel is better with impacts than cast and the pneumatic tire with less pressure in them would absorb the impact far better. The frame would also have the benefit of helping ensure they didn’t move.
I don't even watch Nascar, but Ross and that maneuver is LEGENDARY.
The fact that you got Ross Chastain to show up is freaking awesome!!!
I've been a Ross fan from the very first time I saw him racing in the truck series. And still am. He is already a legend
7:02 nice to hear that people still remember those skateboarding/rollerblading days
That was literally the craziest thing to watch live. The whole house was shook at the end of that race.
Ross and Trackhouse have become my favorite team to root for in NASCAR. Such a cool bunch of guys and Ross has become a driver that can contend for a win on any weekend. Awesome that Ross made an appearance on the best TH-cam channel there is.
I've never really been interested on cars or races honestly, this guy's move is the first time i've ever seen a nascar race and it was AWESOME
Crazy speed …been to your track for outlaw drag racing was a crazy cool experience had a blast
Props to CLEET for having the balls to follow through. I could see you smiling after you realized the worst part was over! Thanks for amazing content as usual!! HELL YA BROTHER
Everyone wants to be part of " The Freedom Factory!" Cleetus is the man! Praying for the day Dale Jr. shows up!!!
That would be epic. I honestly can't believe it hasn't happened yet. Would also like to see Cleetus on jr's podcast someday.
@@Ada-zn3pw Cleetus on The Dale Jr Download would be awesome.
@@Evan_Moore61 I have been not-so-patiently waiting for Cleet and Jackstand to be on Dale Jr Download.
And would love to see Dale Jr driving the Dale Truck.
Need to get Jr. in the Dale truck. Still hoping that any pro driver takes it around a track like Daytona and pushes it to the limit.
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 it will never happen. To much has changed on the truck. Plus ol' Cleet is to attached to it as it is.
Never seen you all before and it was a really fun video. Thinking about it, I feel like making long solid rails, skids, or runners would allow you to distribute the force enough to probably work better. Very cool though!
Suggestions for follow up vid. 1. Crash bar with nice gentle radius welded along the beltline of vehicle. 2. Go kart style bumper with flat metal and old car tires for comfy gliding!
I think it’s only a matter of time before old Cleeter gets called up to test for a NASCAR team. And congratulations on the Gymkhana cameo, it was definitely a happy surprise seeing you and Mullet in the video!!.
Dude, I about lost my shit when I saw that cameo. Cleetus be doin some big things.
And I think you're 100% right that he's gonna get into some kinda pro racing a lot sooner than even he might think. The natural talent Garrett has behind the wheel is insane.
Always wished they would build a boxy wagon/hatch body for Leroy. And then Hoonigan builds this for Gymkhana.
"Dr.Pass em all! " HILARIOUS, I LOVE IT!!
And Ross was going a whole lot faster, and under racing conditions. So he had very little time to consider any of this stuff. Not to mention, but approaching the wall at such high speed essentially would look like "Hey we're about to just crash into this wall" to your brain - so it would take amazing courage to overcome. I haven't even mentioned the risk that he was taking with it not working and the car being a write off for no gain. Race car drivers always amaze me with their ability to fully commit to winning a race and making split second decisions. They take risks like we do in video games, but often have raw talent and skill to back it up.
You guys should build a rail all the way around, set up a car on the rail (mounted on the side of the car), brick on the pedal, stand back and watch hahahah
The next mod to the Porsche. Gotta guarantee a win in them spectator drags
Best "science" show they've done yet. I was in stitches the whole time! 😂😂😂
cleatus, thankyou for using this platform and your following to give this man some more of the fame he deserves
Two ideas come to mind. First is to put the castors (with bearings) on short heavy coil springs to lessen the impact. Second is instead of castors use heavy Teflon strips. They will distribute the impact and slide with minimal friction
"Things got ABEC 9's in it!" George is a Gem!
Got me hahahaha. So good
Oh man having Ross made this insane. I had been turned off from Nascar since Dale Jr retired and Ross peaked my interest again and I watched all but 2 or 3 races this year. Thanks to Cleeter for having Ross on the channel. Looking forward to more.
*piqued my interest
@@StanleyKubick1 Few and far between to find people who actually know that one.

Need to redue with full length channel welded and bolted. Each wheel pod triangulated. And 12" dia pnuematic tires on steel rims.
Oh, and lexan all around incase something goes bad.
Then re test.
Super fun vid.
Thanks.
That's pretty cool that Ross is with you on this.
I've seen Ross race at Desoto speedway aka fun factory. An seen Ross and his younger brother race a bunch of times at Punta Gorda speedway aka 4-17 speedway now days.
The Chastain Run is the most epic racing finish ever. Gangster af.
cleet is legit going to invent someway to make wacky races a real thing.
You may have no idea what wacky races are popular all over the world ;)
Dude, wacky races are a worldwide love. We have them here on the dirt tracks
Brother, if I didn't know any better I would take that to mean renting Bristol to race retired police cars isnt wacky. I think he has already brought "wacky" racing to reality.
@@piuthemagicman no i mean like LEGIT wacky races.. like dick dasterdly and all that.. spring loaded cars. traps. the whole lot :P
that went better than I expected
(Writing this before they actually ran the experiment, FYI).
Should have the casters on some sort of suspension, such as springs or shocks to help reduce the forces upon impact with the wall. May make it more controllable.
Also, and perhaps the better point, is that it will allow multiple casters to be in contact at a time. The wall is curved/uneven, the car is (theoretically) straight, so the casters won't all contact at the same time.
I seen Ross do it live and was astounded that he pulled it off, he’s one of my favorites and for him to knock Denny out of the championship was a bonus.
It's videos like this, as well as all the race car action, the positivity, the humor, the sketchy moments ......this is MY FAVORITE TH-cam channel of all time!!!
At industrial mills they use a solid black Teflon plastic type material that just eats up friction. They machine to whatever is needed, bushings, plates, …they are super tough and would handle the i,pact and friction!
I got a suggestion. Instead of small caster wheels you guys could try welding a slide cage together, pretty much like skis for the side of the car, skiing over the bumps in the wall, as well as less friction due to a smaller contact area to the wall than the car door and side panels. It sure as hell would also make a lot of cool looking sparkles if you pick the right steel
Yes. Wrap it with a 1/2" sheet of PTFE or delrin plastic
@@guganotubo uhmw is the stuff you want, the same stuff they make skis and skid plates out of. Survives and slides a lot better than delrin, nylon, and PTFE for this sort of thing. I worked for a uhmw manufacturer. You'd want it mounted to some leaf springs to absorb the shock. Or, just use pneumatic tires.
Just shows the reach the Cleetus and crew are achieving, hats off brother.
Money DOES buy happiness
I love how this felt like old school because it was just put together. Not super produced just a really cool idea with some Floridamen. THIS is what TH-cam videos should be like! 😂
I'm not a Nascar fan, or formula fan, but I love Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. And well, I a Suzuki up to 1800 mph riding some walls so I completely respect this.
I'd use short truck springs to cushion the castors and make up for the bumps and inconsistencies in the wall. And castors obviously need steel parts. And up the castors to 8. 4 pairs, with each pair having one located higher up on the side and 1 lower.
Videos like this are the reason why I keep coming back. Garret is creating a new generation of race fans! Thank you!
Chastain: “I’m the reason for the safety meeting” 😂😂😂
Y'all should have created an articulating caster setup with a spring in it to absorb the impact and help ride over bumps the wall and maintain wall contact.
Dude made the most epic, ballsy driving move quite possibly in the history of motorsports. He, no joke, went full WOT, on the wall...friggin crazy! lol
Congratulations on the gymkhana cameo. Travis is an absolute legend
makes me wonder if he would of beat the subaru, if he did not smoke the tyres?
@@aeroflopper Mullet has 3000hp and slicks......if you need to think longer than 1 second about if it would beat a 800hp subaru if traction wasn't a problem then I've got bad news for you....
@@aeroflopper brother hahahaha your not for real i hope.. mullet is a freaking 3000hp drag truck hahahahha it would eat that 800hp subie.. brother no hahah i hope u joking...
Subaru sponsored the video, I'm sure cleet was asked to put on a show (smoke and chute's) not to race per se.
@@killinger9013 how many have fallen to the mustang, hoonicorn? not ultimately powerful but sure gets off the mark quick.
I’ve never had more faith in one of the experiments just to have it fail, I love it!
It needs rubber wheels and a little give in the mounts, like a rubber mount or a spring. The idea is sound!
The fact you got the man himself makes this so much better
A redesign may be in order. Either some small pneumatic tires mounted on arms that have some suspension in them or some kind of rails/skis with sacrificial plastic strips and once again mounted on arms with suspension might make for a better performance.
