This is the first time I’ve edited an entire weekend race into one video. Wanted to try it and see what you guys think. Do you prefer a video for each day, or one that has everything?
That smile on Lil Ripper's face driving Dad's car at 13:38 is just pure joy and excitement !!!! Priceless moment right there!! Congratulations for a great weekend of racing. Longer vids like this are excellent.
Arguably the best racing in a LONG while. Side-by-side action every race and our boy Mullet doing work on that 275. I personally prefer the whole weekend into a single video. The bits you post on your social media stories kept my anticipation levels high for the video to finally drop. Let's also not forget about Leroy finally coming through during competition and performing the way we all knew he could.
It’s crazy to think that cleeter went from putting whistles inside the exhaust of his corvette 6 years ago to building an empire of bald eagles keep up the spectacular work brother
@@URsooomad8613lol he has worked so hard and so long to build this team and brand. What inheritance? Wasn’t he Iaw school before going into TH-cam full time.
@@URsooomad8613brother it wouldn’t matter if that’s true or not. Garret has worked his ass off building this empire. He has built an a outstanding team of wonderful people. He’s almost gone completely broke twice taking chances to get where he’s at. A lot of people are haters or jealous but at the end of the day… the guy is good at what he does.
Giving it the Elder's Blessing, I hear that the buff drastically reduces the random change of engine failures, and he also gives it the Detail of Approval, which reduces aerodynamic drag by an amount the Developer left unspecified in the manual I managed to find.
James has gotta be one of the calmest dudes I've ever seen. Dude blows an engine, crashes into a wall and catches fire then blows the head gaskets on the next car and he's still fired up lmao
When you push the limits as hard as the "Cleetus Crew" does you're gonna break SOMETHING! Their focus on everything is phenomenal! Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Whatever part isn't up to snuff is the part that gets snuffed!
The positivity is contagious. Opening up their shop, lift and tools to the guys that were ultimately their final competitor. Sportsmanship at its finest 👊🏼 kudos to the whole team for a hell of a knife fight.
The way they helped the other team was class! Helping your competitors stay in it is *always* a non-starter! Nobody who really loves to compete wants to win on a technicality, or a no show. You want to beat the competition with driving skills and bald eagles, fair and square!
@@joshuagibson2520It's not about money. It never has been with Cletus. It's about racing and having a blast. He don't do it for money, He does it for Dale!!!! Yeee, yeee!!!!
While the cars might mean something to you away from the track at the track there just a tool that you have to be prepared to right off every time you strap in if that’s what it takes
flo is worth it if youre going for more than just the drag events. dirt racing out the ass. you pay less for a year than it is to go to 2 or 3 events.@@KLSMTL
Not just that he wet the car on the big end and still managed to stay so calm. I would have 💩 myself having just ran my car to the wall the pass before. Bro has battery acid and red bull running through his veins.
He isn’t in emotional distress because those cars aren’t special to him. He just wants to race and win. So as long as he’s not hurt too bad he’s on to the next race.
@@chevchellios2988James is a racer plane and simple. He realizes while the car might mean something to you away from the track when at the track they’re just a tool that you have to be willing to right off every time you strap in if that’s what it takes
Cleetus has the sickest cars on the planet and the team to get it done. Go fix what's broken, test and keep testing then create a race Team Cleetus Against the World. LET'S FREAKING GOOOO!!!!!
What do we think? At first, I was bummed that you weren’t posting daily, as I would catch snippets on other people’s channels, but seeing it all together like this is just awesome. Thanks bud. Happy you guys are all safe and we appreciate all that you and the guys do.
Between Cletus, Emilia, VGG, Junkyard, Demo, Donut, it's about all the 'Tube I have time for. The quality just keeps climbing to the point I've not watched regular TV in years.
The personalities, story telling, race quality, mindset, teamwork, and sheer absolute works of engineering art you all have created is one of the coolest things to see evolve and grow over the years. What an incredible life to live and story to share with us all. Thank you.
The real street guys are professional and focused. They spent all their time and energy on this moment in time. But equally professional are all the FF guys. I mean this group is just working it with all the cars, events, etc. This show was over an hour. It took me like 3 hours to watch it because I kept having to replay it because I didn't want to miss a second of the action. I think big said he edits his own stuff? Well whoever did the post production was spot frickin on.
Over an hour of absolutely amazing drag racing with Cletus and the crew!!! This was one of the best videos I’ve seen put together on TH-cam. Thanks to all involved!!!
Hands down. Favorite channel on TH-cam. Nothing like good friends making the dream happen. Proud of you all. Nothing but blessings and success for all of you!
Leroy and mullet are both right on the cusp of being even heavier hitter than ever have been before, the blazer is blazering, jackstand is killing it in every car he drives, all the tuners are getting big with them, papaw Sam is radiating happiness, hell even cooper was making absolute rips this event!
The only channel I will watch an entire 1 hr 17 minute video and enjoy every minute of it . Thanks for the solid content cleetus , second place is pretty damn good after the luck you guys had.
Yeah, thought so too until I saw Cleet on someone else’s TH-cam channel and he was dropping f-bombs right along with the hosts. Really glad he chose to keep this channel family friendly.
This video is awesome, and what a display of pure class from the team. Offering up your shop to help make sure someone else can race, and then congratulating them after they beat you in the finals. Just really great attitudes all around. Love to see it. That's what it's all about. Everybody getting out and having fun doing something we all love to do.
I’m loving the long video. No better way to end the day. My girlfriend kept asking why I’m smiling while watching the video… a mix of George’s enthusiasm and intense drag race wins, that’s why. What a good video!
Shows true sportsmanship to let them rebuild their car in your shop only for them to come and beat you in the finals. Hats off to you sir, a true competitor!
Videos like this are the reason I started watching Cleet. Over an hour in and I was still hoping for another hour of intense racing. What a team he has!! Great job this weekend guys!! See you at World Cup.
Even when things didn't go George's way, he still stayed positive and upbeat all night long! Dude is an absolute unit on the team! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GROUP!
@@j.nilsson5362 yeah absolutely. Even when a crash, 2 blown engines, rear gear, and then the Blazer all within like an hour of each other...stayed smiling, joking, and laughing. That's not easy to do when a race weekend of any discipline of racing is going that sideways
Sam tapping Leroy's windshield after he checked the window net before Cleet pulled away hit me, sums up the love they all have for each other. All of these guys are a damn national treasure!
Ed must be so damn proud. To think these guys are doing 6.89, as a warm up pass now, is absolutely insane. Props to the team, and everyone involved in building these amazing cars, and all the fans and sponsors paying for these builds 😂
Over an hour long video of the boys racing is freaking epic! I was wondering where this weekends racing content was and now we know. If Cleet prefers uploading racing events like this I’ll gladly accept that. 🍻
I think the long format is perfect, Cleet doesn’t have to stay up late the day before eliminations editing a video. He can just focus on racing, which is what we’re here for.
Mullet might've lost the finals, but if it weren't for cleet's hospitality and letting them use their shop, they never would've won. Good on you guys. hell of a weekend
Love the sportsmanship!!! Let the ole boy use your shop, lose to him, and still have the humility to say, "I can be better, so I will be better next time." HELL YEA BROTHER!! Yall showed up and showed out this weekend.
Has it occurred to you that he doesn't WANT to do these races? I wouldn't if I was in his shoes. Better to be there getting paid to help out vs helping for free cause he is there to race.
Anybody remember when he used to get nervous at tech in? Cletus has built a heck of a team around himself that now, he doesn’t even worry when he techs the cars in. This man is the definition of solid, drama-free growth
Home track. He’s known the tech guys there for years. He’s got his stuff together with the cars too. Used to be he was unlicensed and driving Leroy with no window nets, arm restraints, and a cheap fire suit.
He'll ya check out the interview he did with vice grip garage on the orielys thing he does on the isle or from the isle I forgot the name I'll try and link it if I remember
I love everyone’s attitude. Literally every car got beat, wrecked, blown up, or failed in some way but everyone is still so upbeat. What an inspiration. Love these guys!!
I love these hour long full weekend videos. The highs, the lows and everything in between. Highlights are great but it's the little things, like seeing Rip deciding tuning options
Our guys managed and ran 5 cars, did the competition do that in the same time avaliable. Incredible. If they put all their efforts into 1 car I wonder what they could achieve.
@@kevinsnyder333 Ed was one of Cleetus’ neighbors wayyyy back at the beginning of the channel. The car was bought for Ed as a “hot rod” for him and when he passed, was turned into a tribute to him.
Seeing little ripper sitting on dads lap with that million dollar smile was awesome!!!!! I can see cleet strapping that boy in a jr dragster before you know it! The next generation is what keeps racing alive. Great job guys. The fleet is really looking good and running strong. Lets go.
Was legit looking for this comment, such a wholesome moment, those kids are gonna grow up to be AMAZING PEOPLE, they have an Power couple for parents, both Maddie and Garret are incredible people
Man Mr. Sam is such an MVP !!! 77 years young and he's EVERYWHERE !!! Wrenching and polishing in the pits, at the starting line, the guy is a living LEGEND !!! Such an inspiration.
As a dad of a 3 year old boy, seeing the way you interact with Ripp just makes me so happy man, I find myself smiling so hard when you guys are on camera together. Thank you as always, for the best content on the internet 💕
I haven’t been this proud of Leroy since he ran his first 7. I swear I’m just as excited as if I was in the car driving and I’m just watching a video. So freaking pumped for drag racing season to be back in action. Keep on banging those gears Cleet.
I love the videos short or long, but I gotta say those Import boys being lighter, running full tube chassis, big tire AND wheelie bars is an insane advantage over you having to run a 275….the idea that you STILL were keeping up with them is mindblowing brother….keep up the great work Cleet!!!!
Can we appreciate the fact that "Mcfarland Racing" started off more as a joke then anything and they have literally turned themselves into a world class race team.
I totally appreciate it. I believe leroy was the first thing he brought to the dragstrip doing 5th gear burnouts and then he wanted more. I've watched him almost regularly since the turbo whistles on his C7 and something to do with a balloon on his truck
Just wanted to say, my wife and I really enjoyed this format of editing. Really felt like we got the whole weekend experience. It didn't feel rushed, and I'm sure you didn't feel pressured to get a video out while working hard on the cars. Thank you as always boys! Keep doin' it for Dale!
Wife/girl viewer here, reporting in! I loved the hour long video! We got racing excitement, funny banter amongst the boys (my favorite!), reactions to runs, Lil ripper!, fixing cars, behind the scenes fixing competitor cars at the shop, a loud Buenos Dias :), and freedom. Keep at it boys, hell yeah brother, thank you for the awesome racing and entertainment! Yee yee! (can we see more Maddie 😊)
If you told me maybe 10-15 years ago that you could crack off 220mph on a small tire my next question would have been if you were talking about a full mile. Nuts what you and the team are out here doing. Victor is always such a fun dude to have on the channel too, can tell he's a real one.
Great run, and excellent longer form video. HUGE props to the Starlet driver for being a badass, and driving as well as he did. Congrats to the crew for keeping things going!
Was at FL2K and saw it all. The fact cleetus and crew compete and record it all with everything that goes on with a long day of racing is insane. Not to mention, being able to still compete against the baddest! Cleet a goat.
This channel is SO AWESOME!!! The whole team does an amazing job! So much work goes into this racing! You let the guy who beat you use your shop, what the heck does that say!! I totally appreciate the time you and your crew put into the racing and the time you put into editing an awesome video!!! HELL YEA BROTHER!!! THANK YOU!!!
You guys do such an amazing job bringing this experience to all of us here at TH-cam. I’ve never been so hyped, watching a group of guys battle it out at a drag race. Hell ya brothers!!!!
@@FinnellRacingI think he enjoys where he is more, I mean he has family and friends all around, gets to wrench all the time. Actual race teams is a massive amount of travel plus I’m sure ole cleet makes sure his team is very well compensated
Who else is REWATCHING these old great episodes! The whole group is talented and intelligent and HELLA FUN TO WATCH! THANKS for the great entertainment mates!!!!!!!
Seeing little Rip hitting the scramble was fantastic! That ear to ear smile, makes everything we do as father's worth it! Awesome to see brother! ....and some killer racing this yr!!
I feel like now that Cleet is at a point financially & subscriber wise where he doesn’t have to upload on a schedule or certain day anymore to try to get the algo to push his content, the videos just keep getting better and better. The stuff he has been putting out seems more to me like I’m making this video because I want to and here’s what I want to show you. Instead of we had to come up with this idea and shoot it in this amount of time so the algo pushes us and we keep growing. Keep up the good work brother!
It also helps they have so many vehicles, SXS, Airplanes, FF, RC cars and everything else. Makes it really easy to make content with that many toys/race cars. He was doing basically daily uploads the last month, until this weekend!
@@josiahhein6036 Yeah I don't think Cleetus will ever have trouble finding content. He has to be one the busiest people I've ever seen. He's always got something going on and it usually looks like a lot of fun
Cleetus and Crew, congratulations! Alot of hard work and man hours went into this weekend, and the editing of this video lol. You guys deserve the praise and acouple cold ones for the endless entertainment the crew provides! Btw loved the long format FL2K weekend edit. Made it more enjoyable to watch all of the weekends' clips back to back and get the whole story!
That was so much fun man I felt like I was there with you! That is a quality video that you edited and all that energy and power that you guys have as a team came through the video! thank you so much for all that hard work so I can have as much fun as possible with the video! God bless you all!
That’s says a lot for you guys being stand up and letting the competition use your facilities to make a repair. What goes around comes around no good deed goes unnoticed for sure good on y’all for that and being stand up folks
Honestly @CleetusM, how you communicate and interact with your crew/staff/mates, it's inspiring. Although you are running a business here, you don't only treat it as that. Your crew and friends are all still with you because of who you are. When there has been accidents or problems, your first instinct is to check everyone is OK. Not only that, if there is some process that can be changed to improve safety, you don't hesitate to act. The confirmation for me in this episode, was when you had your son in the driver's seat of mullet with you. The way you interact with him just shows who you are. Keep up the good content and don't be afraid to visit Australia more haha.
I think everyone agrees that having all of the content in one large video was pretty cool. Loved seeing how much the team had to hustle racing so many classes this past weekend.
What ever is easier for you Cleet! We all know on a weekend like this you’re busy enough as it is, I usually like the more daily ish vids but you did this one up so good. It was cool to see the event all in one video . Thanks for taking us along . Making us feel like we’re one of your guys. Great work by the whole crew .
The build of this channel since Leroy was first purchased is nothing short of incredible. Amazing work from you, your family, friends and team. Inspiring. From a long time watcher in the deep south of Melbourne Australia.
i know you're probably questioning how much is too much or too little with little ripper content. honestly, i think you're nailing it. love seeing little snippets of him LOVING the race life. keep up the good work!
Literally grabbed my phone and logged in just to say, Brother that 240 race was the BEST race I have seen in a long time. What a feeling! Great job boys!
Honestly I like both video formats, whichever is easier for you to edit, I can only imagine how hectic this race weekends are. Also shout out to Pete for the insane tunes while not even at the track, the man is real good at doin stuff
Seeing Jackstand crash and Cleetus almost hit the wall is a harsh reminder of the risks in this sport. Would honestly be a hard hit to see someone in the team get injured. Be safe out there boys.
This wins the race for the best TH-cam video of all time. You are all legends!! Loved the feature length film! So much entertainment and felt like I was right there with you guys.
This might be one of the best videos ever uploaded on this channel! I’ve been watching since the turbo whistles in the c7 and the growth and mentality of the TEAM is insane and this video shows it from all angles with everyone working together and loving life. This team really is something special! These videos bring life to guys that used to race and guys that have never been fortunate enough to do it. Even sitting here watching I feel the team pride!
I really liked this long format! It's nice to watch only content pertaining to our team, not being mixed in with a bunch of other team's runs. I'm here strictly for McFarland content, and could care less about the other teams. Great weekend, Guys! There is NO DOUBT why all of us fans support this team!
I was away for a week for Canadian thanksgiving and missed all of the FL2K vids . And I click on this and see how long it is and almost shit myself 💩🤣😂. This is so freakin rad a full length video. HELL YA BROTHER 🙌🎉🎊 . Awesome job everyone 👊🤙
This is the first time I’ve edited an entire weekend race into one video. Wanted to try it and see what you guys think. Do you prefer a video for each day, or one that has everything?
Wrap mullet in that same shade of grey
Love this leaves the suspense out of it
I love this long format, personally.
One each day, so other youtubers don't spoil the results
My anxiety was killing me!!! Videos everyday please!
That smile on Lil Ripper's face driving Dad's car at 13:38 is just pure joy and excitement !!!! Priceless moment right there!!
Congratulations for a great weekend of racing. Longer vids like this are excellent.
Kids are the best! My nephew does the same driving my prado.
Arguably the best racing in a LONG while. Side-by-side action every race and our boy Mullet doing work on that 275. I personally prefer the whole weekend into a single video. The bits you post on your social media stories kept my anticipation levels high for the video to finally drop. Let's also not forget about Leroy finally coming through during competition and performing the way we all knew he could.

Inheritances are a crazy thing

was the first video i ever saw from him
Sam is so freaking genuine. The way he pats the car a couple time before your run. What an absolute legend of a guy.
Giving it the Elder's Blessing, I hear that the buff drastically reduces the random change of engine failures, and he also gives it the Detail of Approval, which reduces aerodynamic drag by an amount the Developer left unspecified in the manual I managed to find.
He does so much for the boys! In the background you can see him doing loads of stuff!
We randomly walked past him on the way to go home and got a pic with him. super positive and awesome feller! 😄
Sam is awesome.
James has gotta be one of the calmest dudes I've ever seen. Dude blows an engine, crashes into a wall and catches fire then blows the head gaskets on the next car and he's still fired up lmao
He's got a true racer's heart. Something went wrong with the car? _Ah well, you'll get that with these big horsepowers, is the other car ready to go?_
I wish I had that kind of focus. He is always looking at the next pass, can't change what already happened keep moving forward
When you push the limits as hard as the "Cleetus Crew" does you're gonna break SOMETHING! Their focus on everything is phenomenal! Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Whatever part isn't up to snuff is the part that gets snuffed!
@@PhilG999 Yeah old Cleetus has assembled a great team
I KNOW! Zero Fs but he cares lol. All such good dudes
The positivity is contagious. Opening up their shop, lift and tools to the guys that were ultimately their final competitor. Sportsmanship at its finest 👊🏼 kudos to the whole team for a hell of a knife fight.
Absolutely. One of the few sports where this sort of thing happens.
i like the driver of that green car- he seems likeable and respectable. Mullet will have his revenge next time
The way they helped the other team was class! Helping your competitors stay in it is *always* a non-starter! Nobody who really loves to compete wants to win on a technicality, or a no show. You want to beat the competition with driving skills and bald eagles, fair and square!
Absolute class act! I wonder if they‘d like to join Motion Raceworks, though… keep it in the family 😅
Does anyone else appreciate Cleetus’ attitude win or lose. This man is a legend with a great attitude.
Class act, it’s a great influence on his viewers that humility and sportsmanship will get you a lot farther than being a jerk to others
Money will do that to ya. Why would he have a bad attitude?
@@joshuagibson2520most people have a bad attitude because they lost.. cleetus doesn't let stuff like that get to him

Well not many people have multiple cars to drive like them lmao
So he barely hit wall and came back to loose another race. What an accomplishment. Sandbaggers got sandbagged. 😂😢😢 Garrett too!!

@@steveletson6616what would the world be without haters, they are the biggest fans! 🤷🏻
Would not be disappointed if y’all keep doing hour long videos for events like fl2k and World Cup

Agreed I like the long format for events I have no clue what that other garbage post was maybe he drank way to much freedom during this long video
Jackstand is such a badass. He crashes his car and before it has even stopped moving he's already jumped out and ready to race the next one.
Jackstand is a different breed...
Not just that he wet the car on the big end and still managed to stay so calm. I would have 💩 myself having just ran my car to the wall the pass before. Bro has battery acid and red bull running through his veins.

Same. I get the notifications but i would still check just in case

George just pulling out the pure talent running a 9.52 on a 9.50 class with the car acting up lmao.
It’s awesome how stoked George gets. You can tell he’s havin the time of his life in that blazeturd.
Blazeturd 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only channel I will watch an entire 1 hr 17 minute video and enjoy every minute of it . Thanks for the solid content cleetus , second place is pretty damn good after the luck you guys had.
The pure joy on Ripp's face sitting in his dad's lap while pretending to drive Mullet just made my day! I needed this!
me too that was amazing.
Big serotonin boost there! He'll yeah rip!

Nobody has a more wholesome team dynamic. These guys are legends and role models.

Cleet and crew have done the same, used other people’s shop to fix their cars. That’s what good people do.

The hour long video I’ve been dreaming of 🎉
same, vids r the best
Big fan of one long video to tell the whole story of the weekend 👌🏻
Dude i didn't even realise its hour long😂
BEST CLEETUS EPISODE EVER!
The flow, the story, the progression....THE BEST!!

I didn’t even realize I sat watching for a hour! Can’t wait for world cup
77 minutes of pure fun. I love the longer format.
The long format makes me so happy, I'm sitting here with my feet up and a beer just enjoying my night!
I think the long format is perfect, Cleet doesn’t have to stay up late the day before eliminations editing a video. He can just focus on racing, which is what we’re here for.
Never thought of it that way, couldn’t agree more !
I also never thought of it like that especially with soon enough 2 youngin’s
Mullet might've lost the finals, but if it weren't for cleet's hospitality and letting them use their shop, they never would've won. Good on you guys. hell of a weekend
Cleetus making the motor noises while lil Ripper smiles away is too good!
Love the sportsmanship!!! Let the ole boy use your shop, lose to him, and still have the humility to say, "I can be better, so I will be better next time." HELL YEA BROTHER!! Yall showed up and showed out this weekend.
George with no trans brake running a 9.52 is insane. What a driver!!
AGREED, WAS AWESOME!
Honestly soooooooo cool!@@aKrekow
He was running 8.50’s in testing he had to do something to slow his roll!
@@jasonsparshott7208 yeah he had limit to 9.50 class, he can go much faster
He finally knows his truck Lol
Zack rarely gets to drive, but what a huge valuable part of the team he is!
Zack and Tye have taken this team to the next level for sure
@@forest9997lol
*** - Agreed
@@forest9997agreed 1000%. Those 2 are my favorites on the channel. Cleetus has proven he has amazing eye for talent building this team that he has.
Has it occurred to you that he doesn't WANT to do these races?
I wouldn't if I was in his shoes.
Better to be there getting paid to help out vs helping for free cause he is there to race.
Anybody remember when he used to get nervous at tech in? Cletus has built a heck of a team around himself that now, he doesn’t even worry when he techs the cars in. This man is the definition of solid, drama-free growth
Home track. He’s known the tech guys there for years. He’s got his stuff together with the cars too. Used to be he was unlicensed and driving Leroy with no window nets, arm restraints, and a cheap fire suit.
Drama free? Tell that to Fasterproms
Fo rizzle
@@user59371what do you mean talk to fasterproms? Is there some beef between them or something?
I remember when he got kicked because he didn't have his license, lol!
James is such a Legend, his knowledge is highly underrated
He'll ya check out the interview he did with vice grip garage on the orielys thing he does on the isle or from the isle I forgot the name
I'll try and link it if I remember
You ain't kidding. He's worth his weight in Gold. Automotively anyways
@ErikHyndmantoCleetus is also the editor, brains, businessman, manager, and leader.
Honestly anyone is this group is a legend
Can’t believe he flashed a bit of his time
I love everyone’s attitude. Literally every car got beat, wrecked, blown up, or failed in some way but everyone is still so upbeat. What an inspiration. Love these guys!!
Yes 1320 style videos love the full episodes please bring back the Cletus car reviews with the boys this time tho
I love these hour long full weekend videos. The highs, the lows and everything in between. Highlights are great but it's the little things, like seeing Rip deciding tuning options
This was so entertaining...all 80 mins of it. No other drag racing footage online or on TV is this good. The side by side shots were 🔥
The growth of this channel of the years is honestly massive and inspiring! One hell of a team
Our guys managed and ran 5 cars, did the competition do that in the same time avaliable. Incredible. If they put all their efforts into 1 car I wonder what they could achieve.
Watching neighbor make that first pass, definitely brought a tear to my eye. DO IT FOR ED !!
Who was ed again? I can’t remember.. was it the body guy who fixed the car? Or previous owner of car
@@kevinsnyder333 Ed was one of Cleetus’ neighbors wayyyy back at the beginning of the channel. The car was bought for Ed as a “hot rod” for him and when he passed, was turned into a tribute to him.
Neighbor getting the crowd just as fired up on the strip as he does on the skid pad. Ed would be proud
Seeing little ripper sitting on dads lap with that million dollar smile was awesome!!!!! I can see cleet strapping that boy in a jr dragster before you know it! The next generation is what keeps racing alive.
Great job guys. The fleet is really looking good and running strong. Lets go.
Was legit looking for this comment, such a wholesome moment, those kids are gonna grow up to be AMAZING PEOPLE, they have an Power couple for parents, both Maddie and Garret are incredible people
The hard cut from George being upset about the trans and wheelie to smiling about 9.52 was great 😂
I was dying when it cut off 😭😂
That was smooth! The boy knows his ride!
Listening to Mullet’s engine scream is absolutely insane!!
Man Mr. Sam is such an MVP !!! 77 years young and he's EVERYWHERE !!! Wrenching and polishing in the pits, at the starting line, the guy is a living LEGEND !!! Such an inspiration.
As a dad of a 3 year old boy, seeing the way you interact with Ripp just makes me so happy man, I find myself smiling so hard when you guys are on camera together. Thank you as always, for the best content on the internet 💕
Same dude! Wish I had a hobby like this to involve my kids into!
Right. Nothing better than happy kids. Makes life worth living.
I haven’t been this proud of Leroy since he ran his first 7. I swear I’m just as excited as if I was in the car driving and I’m just watching a video.
So freaking pumped for drag racing season to be back in action. Keep on banging those gears Cleet.
Ripper in shades just melted my heart! Wait till he's showing dad up with his own toys ❤
Cleeter is a legend for pickin up the camera off the floor and interacting like that 😂 8:18
he's done that before
I love the videos short or long, but I gotta say those Import boys being lighter, running full tube chassis, big tire AND wheelie bars is an insane advantage over you having to run a 275….the idea that you STILL were keeping up with them is mindblowing brother….keep up the great work Cleet!!!!
Can we appreciate the fact that "Mcfarland Racing" started off more as a joke then anything and they have literally turned themselves into a world class race team.
Hell yeah brother!
John Force ain't got nothin' lol
@Boomkin316 I hope you're joking
I am @@roadhammer2380
I totally appreciate it. I believe leroy was the first thing he brought to the dragstrip doing 5th gear burnouts and then he wanted more. I've watched him almost regularly since the turbo whistles on his C7 and something to do with a balloon on his truck
That was honestly one of the best hours of racing I've ever had the pleasure of watching! Hell yeah brother!
Cleeter, my dude! You're out here giving us a feature film length cut of race weekend like it's nothing! Cannot wait to watch this.
Just wanted to say, my wife and I really enjoyed this format of editing. Really felt like we got the whole weekend experience. It didn't feel rushed, and I'm sure you didn't feel pressured to get a video out while working hard on the cars. Thank you as always boys! Keep doin' it for Dale!
😊
Wife/girl viewer here, reporting in! I loved the hour long video! We got racing excitement, funny banter amongst the boys (my favorite!), reactions to runs, Lil ripper!, fixing cars, behind the scenes fixing competitor cars at the shop, a loud Buenos Dias :), and freedom. Keep at it boys, hell yeah brother, thank you for the awesome racing and entertainment! Yee yee! (can we see more Maddie 😊)
If you told me maybe 10-15 years ago that you could crack off 220mph on a small tire my next question would have been if you were talking about a full mile.
Nuts what you and the team are out here doing.
Victor is always such a fun dude to have on the channel too, can tell he's a real one.
Great run, and excellent longer form video. HUGE props to the Starlet driver for being a badass, and driving as well as he did. Congrats to the crew for keeping things going!
Was at FL2K and saw it all. The fact cleetus and crew compete and record it all with everything that goes on with a long day of racing is insane. Not to mention, being able to still compete against the baddest! Cleet a goat.
Right? Especially running multiple cars while a lot of people focus on their one car for the event.
This channel is SO AWESOME!!! The whole team does an amazing job! So much work goes into this racing! You let the guy who beat you use your shop, what the heck does that say!! I totally appreciate the time you and your crew put into the racing and the time you put into editing an awesome video!!! HELL YEA BROTHER!!! THANK YOU!!!
32:33 the look James gives Cleetur knowing ol George twisted his wheel too much🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys do such an amazing job bringing this experience to all of us here at TH-cam. I’ve never been so hyped, watching a group of guys battle it out at a drag race. Hell ya brothers!!!!
Literally the ONLY TH-cam videos I can watch and just absolutely never get enough of. Good job guys!
Little man's smile when you had him in the car was priceless. He's going to have that need for speed
James is a true drag racer, took everything in his stride, cool as cucumber.
@@FinnellRacingare you saying McFarland racing isn’t professional 🤔
@@FinnellRacingI think he enjoys where he is more, I mean he has family and friends all around, gets to wrench all the time. Actual race teams is a massive amount of travel plus I’m sure ole cleet makes sure his team is very well compensated
Who else is REWATCHING these old great episodes! The whole group is talented and intelligent and HELLA FUN TO WATCH! THANKS for the great entertainment mates!!!!!!!
Seeing little Rip hitting the scramble was fantastic! That ear to ear smile, makes everything we do as father's worth it! Awesome to see brother!
....and some killer racing this yr!!
I feel like now that Cleet is at a point financially & subscriber wise where he doesn’t have to upload on a schedule or certain day anymore to try to get the algo to push his content, the videos just keep getting better and better. The stuff he has been putting out seems more to me like I’m making this video because I want to and here’s what I want to show you. Instead of we had to come up with this idea and shoot it in this amount of time so the algo pushes us and we keep growing. Keep up the good work brother!
It also helps they have so many vehicles, SXS, Airplanes, FF, RC cars and everything else. Makes it really easy to make content with that many toys/race cars. He was doing basically daily uploads the last month, until this weekend!
@@josiahhein6036 Yeah I don't think Cleetus will ever have trouble finding content. He has to be one the busiest people I've ever seen. He's always got something going on and it usually looks like a lot of fun
Cleetus and Crew, congratulations! Alot of hard work and man hours went into this weekend, and the editing of this video lol. You guys deserve the praise and acouple cold ones for the endless entertainment the crew provides!
Btw loved the long format FL2K weekend edit. Made it more enjoyable to watch all of the weekends' clips back to back and get the whole story!
That was so much fun man I felt like I was there with you! That is a quality video that you edited and all that energy and power that you guys have as a team came through the video! thank you so much for all that hard work so I can have as much fun as possible with the video! God bless you all!
nothing better than an hour of old cleeter
That’s says a lot for you guys being stand up and letting the competition use your facilities to make a repair. What goes around comes around no good deed goes unnoticed for sure good on y’all for that and being stand up folks
Honestly @CleetusM, how you communicate and interact with your crew/staff/mates, it's inspiring. Although you are running a business here, you don't only treat it as that. Your crew and friends are all still with you because of who you are. When there has been accidents or problems, your first instinct is to check everyone is OK. Not only that, if there is some process that can be changed to improve safety, you don't hesitate to act.
The confirmation for me in this episode, was when you had your son in the driver's seat of mullet with you. The way you interact with him just shows who you are.
Keep up the good content and don't be afraid to visit Australia more haha.
I think everyone agrees that having all of the content in one large video was pretty cool. Loved seeing how much the team had to hustle racing so many classes this past weekend.
What ever is easier for you Cleet! We all know on a weekend like this you’re busy enough as it is, I usually like the more daily ish vids but you did this one up so good. It was cool to see the event all in one video . Thanks for taking us along . Making us feel like we’re one of your guys. Great work by the whole crew .
Jackstand such a positive dude.. wrecks his car and he’s still all positive thinking. Great guy
Best guy in the crew by far
The build of this channel since Leroy was first purchased is nothing short of incredible. Amazing work from you, your family, friends and team. Inspiring. From a long time watcher in the deep south of Melbourne Australia.
HELL YEH BROTHER!! Neighbours skid and TIME!! Love it! Mad luv from Western Australia brother!
i know you're probably questioning how much is too much or too little with little ripper content. honestly, i think you're nailing it. love seeing little snippets of him LOVING the race life. keep up the good work!
Hell yea I’m all about check ups on the Ripper ! That smile on his face in his Dads lap ripping Leroy is savage!!
Literally grabbed my phone and logged in just to say, Brother that 240 race was the BEST race I have seen in a long time. What a feeling! Great job boys!
Honestly I like both video formats, whichever is easier for you to edit, I can only imagine how hectic this race weekends are. Also shout out to Pete for the insane tunes while not even at the track, the man is real good at doin stuff
Face hurts from smiling! Love it!
Been avoiding so many youtube videos from FL2K just so I can watch this video with joy lol
I almost broke down cause I was so curious 😅 but before I made it to the video. This one popped up as a notification clicked it instantly 😅
When it comes to big events like FL2K, drang and drives - I ONLY watch the videos from people that are directly associated with cleet.
I think that's what most of us ol cleeter followers were doin this weekend.
Cleetus can friggin drive man. Nice save. George is a beast, jack stand did great. Awesome weekend boys
29:53 - Are you kidding me, with all that trouble George nails a 9.52!! Give that man a medal!
Y’all just amaze me. Walk in a room and piece together a race car and it smiles back at you. Love your videos. Best part of my video entertainment.
Seeing Jackstand crash and Cleetus almost hit the wall is a harsh reminder of the risks in this sport. Would honestly be a hard hit to see someone in the team get injured. Be safe out there boys.
Yup. And maybe even end up hooked on pain drugs.
@@joshuagibson2520 Easy there cowboy, this aint bull ridin' or a rodeo. Keep that bad energy out of here
Everytime cleetr flies his plane, or jet boats, or races those insane boats... I worry for him.
Rips face when he was driving mullet 😂 definitely a proud dad moment
30:24 Bro George absolutely killed that run bro I actually jumped up and threw my arms up haha !!
This wins the race for the best TH-cam video of all time. You are all legends!! Loved the feature length film! So much entertainment and felt like I was right there with you guys.
This might be one of the best videos ever uploaded on this channel! I’ve been watching since the turbo whistles in the c7 and the growth and mentality of the TEAM is insane and this video shows it from all angles with everyone working together and loving life. This team really is something special! These videos bring life to guys that used to race and guys that have never been fortunate enough to do it. Even sitting here watching I feel the team pride!
I really liked this long format! It's nice to watch only content pertaining to our team, not being mixed in with a bunch of other team's runs. I'm here strictly for McFarland content, and could care less about the other teams. Great weekend, Guys! There is NO DOUBT why all of us fans support this team!
That smile on your son when he was steering the car was the best part of this video!
Fr
Absolutely!!! What a handsome little guy!
I was away for a week for Canadian thanksgiving and missed all of the FL2K vids . And I click on this and see how long it is and almost shit myself 💩🤣😂. This is so freakin rad a full length video. HELL YA BROTHER 🙌🎉🎊 . Awesome job everyone 👊🤙
