Yo guys the video is gonna be stuck in 360p for a couple hours. This happens sometimes when I upload from my phone on the road. Should be HD in 3-5 hours hopefully.
Take mullet on raceweek.
played in HD for me? just now
Will just have to watch it twice :)
It seems good enough for me
ahhh my bad like said in another post i wasnt even watching just listening.. will still watch the updated.
Petition to make the month of freedom two months? I’m loving this stuff!
Don’t tempt me
@@CleetusM Don't tempt us!
@@CleetusM Month of Freedom in July? America's birthday month!
I can’t imagine how much work that would be for cleetus and his group but I definitely wouldn’t complain if we had 2 months of freedom
Sign me up !!! 2 months of freedom for sure !!!!
I love how cleeter has slowly become a version of the character he portrayed. He went from joking about being a Florida man to becoming THE Florida man. A drag car with no body panels, 2 jet boats, a sub nautical hummer, a main man named jack stand Jimmy, a friend that sank a monster truck in your backyard bass pond, owns a oval track, hovercraft enthusiast, and last but not least an around class act that treats everyone like you should and makes us fans feel like part of the reason he found success. I hope good things keep coming your way
That about sums it up nicely.
Nice to see two big stars remain so modest and giving. That will definitely help to keep the good things coming.
Totally a class act to look up to.
My grandmother always said that if you act dumb, you become dumb.
@@zector0 hope that isn't being passive for no reason.
Maybe we have met different "Florida People", but the 25 years I lived in Florida showed me that the vast majority of the people that live there are absolutely as far from being "a class act" as possible. Glad to have left that state.
You know Cleet's a trusted dude when some of the top drivers in each discipline let him rip their stuff. Aussie burnout cars are left with him, Vaughn Gittin let's him shred his Mustangs and now Bailey lets him rip the Camaro. So much respect and cool car guys.
Garrett is a great driver. He literally can drive any land vehicle created by man
@@b.roa2366 Soon to be driving under water too. Add the jet boats, the next step will be a rocket.
@@b.roa2366 Sure seems like that's the case. He's turned into a real wheelman.
They just want a reason for their wife's to rebuild the engines.
Well, the money to pay for any damages helps too haha
Tom is an absolute legend!! And my Boi can Drive! Let’s Go! Blown away by the detail and car prep.
Brent I got a reply from you once you're my hero let's see if I can get it again let's go!
No doubt. I used to watch him in outlaw street class way back in the day. So humble and trusting. I don't care who you are. Those cars are fast and a true national treasure. I'm sure that adds to the pucker factor.
Cleetus: "I feel one with this car already!"
I'm pretty sure that's because the steering wheel is cocked about 40 degrees to the left. Feels like home.
👌😆
My dad Eric Charles Thomas was Tom Baileys friend for years before he passed away from brain cancer, I love seeing him in your videos. He taught my dad alot about flathead motors
sorry for your loss, sounds like you had a cool pops.
Hate losing people to cancer, but hopefully he’s livin one quarter mile at a time up there.
Tom seems like such a nice dude, so cool that cleetus gives credit to those that have helped him get him to this point.
I love how you can see Tom's clear concern for his car, yet he says nothing because of his level of trust in Cleetus. Great video guys
Back 3yrs later to watch again, just because he has CJRC building him a car of this lvl now. 🤘🏽
Same! Life comes full circle
Same
He said he's aiming for 5 seconds, what is he gonna put inside his build 🤔
@@regretabletangibility billet hemi
For all Tom has achieved its awsome to see how down to earth and genuine he is unlike a few other names that race in his category.. #legend
Name the names.
Went to school with Tom’s son and spent a lot of time with his family at his lake house. Super dope guy who has a love for motor sports!
Think he can name everyone that drove that car on one hand.
@@sam_s_ nah. they know who they are.
1:16 “this here vehicle was built in America and ... so was i”
*patriotism increases*
YEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Bald Eagles wept...
*Eagle screech* after that wouldve been gold
A bald eagle shed a tear of love
Somehow someone will turn that into a racist statement
This is the way it should be. Cleetus payin Tom the respect he deserves. Thats why Cleet and Jackstand stand out from everyone else. Maybe add Finnegan in there too. Great video boys
@@mostlymotorized whats the point of you asking? If you cant understand that maybe go back and learn to read properly!
finnegan is much douchier than cleeter
“This here vehicular was built in MURICA, and so was I “ my favorite line😂😂
"Gosh dang I love America"
Man Tom Bailey seems like a "don't eff with me I wont eff with you" kind of man. I like that!
Class act once again for Cleetus..... he waits a few days for this garage’s channel to get a lot of views before he releases this video. Paybacks and respect, good man 👍
A couple other unnamed channels seem to have changed with money and fame. Not Cleetus. That’s what keeps me coming back. Just a genuinely nice guy. I’ll gladly support him and contribute to his success and wealth.
When Tom is riding in the passenger seat he looks like a dad who’s daughter has started dating.
Visible concern
Good comment!
LMFAO...he does!
Your so true it’s funny
Nailed it.
The way how he casually says 5.77 @ 260mph is awesome
IIRC they were trying for a long time to get that 5. And then it was a 5.99. Bittersweet, hard fought victory. After that I'd chill out, too. Time to focus on winning now that you crushed that goal. Just keep making progress.
Cleet made a pass in her. It was on another channel but they took it down. Didnt make it into the 5's but it was definitely a personal fastest time for ol Cleet.
@@cknorris3644 its still on toms instagram
@@crazydog2580 Thanks, I wanted to see it again. I watched it once on here and it disappeared!
@@cknorris3644 holy Shi... not sure if you seen cleets FB post the chutes didn't open and you can see that in the video on instagram
That guy is so calm and laid back. That's amazing
This is literally what dreams are made of his video that went viral has now come full circle and it became a reality driving the car that made him who he is today
I gotta come back - This freedom deserves more than 360p
Why is the resoluyion so low?
@@joeydailey6980 we’re capped at 360p because we’re too early
Normally he uploads it as unlisted. Let's youtube do it's processing and then sets it to public
Time to upgrade to 4k cleetus
I didn’t notice because elle my res is this normal
Tom is awesome, its because of down to earth guys like him that the world honestly keeps moving forward.
Fun Fact: Cleetus's first video was made In Pueblo Co, here in Pueblo we consider Cleetus our Native son
"Cleetus" was born there.
Has it ever occurred to anyone how much Cleetus has done for the people around him? How many companies and people he's helped? Some people step on others to get higher. He does the opposite. He brings others up. I'd bet he's done more for the world than many charities. He's like a giraffe prophet! 🤣
Love you guys! I look up to you.
I hope the Lord continues to bless you guys.
you thirsty or something?
How is he thirsty? Sounds like a proud fan to me.
@@allegorx58 is likely one of those folks that seldom has anything good to say. Unfortunately, I must admit that I have that problem at times. Watching these guys makes me realize that. I feel I might complain a lot more. Something I need to work on...
@@motorman9 Self realization and acknowledgment of our flaws is the first step to self improvement, you're working on it right now with these thoughts hon
because this is how you build an empire. you have to uplift everyone around you. if you expect to gain status by pushing down others around you....youve got a long disappointing road ahead.
🤣🤣 " we can get you in the 5's " 3 seconds silence from Cleatus 😂
Ole Cleetus sound a bit nervous when Tom straight faced said "We could get her in the 5's with you"
Yeah, he certainly was! That's 2 seconds quicker in the quarter than he's ever ran... in a car he doesn't own.
Could see the look on his face "dial her down for me please!" Lol
Time?
@@Nirotix meanwhile he puts people who never drag raced before in a 7 second car turned up lmfao
I fear for Kevins sanity if Cleeter skips 6s lol... So brother... we are going to rebuild Mullet, again! We skipping 6s! >:p
@@Nirotix Yeah I can't say I would blame him for being nervous about it. That's stupid fast. Shit Ruby and Leroy are stupid fast.
Just like the freedom factory's track everything has come full circle with ol cleetus back in the car that got him started. Hell yeah brother.
The respect you have for that car is remarkable. No whacking the throttle when it's cold or aggressive driving of any sort. Just an eye on the gauges while simply living the moment.
Same thing with War Bird too
@@jasonguessedit That's the difference between a one-of-a-kind build vs an LS-swapped this or that
Yep, Warbird has really put him on the follow the procedures. The others are more get in and go, oh turn on the intercooler. Where Toms a number of things are programed in so you don't need to do as much.
What a stand up and modest guy. "Sure come drive my 6 sec TT 3khp Camaro " so humble. Makes me happy ppl like this still exist
Everybody go ahead and give Tom a sub. He's such an understated dude.
It was Kyle that filmed it and it was Toms car in the Vid BUT YOU made that vid legendary and here we are 🐐
i was trying to remember his "first video" didn't realize it was that gem of a video, i've rewatched it far too many times
Tom: “You were 15 years old back then”
Me: “Wait..... He had a beer in his hand in that clip”
What a legend! Lol
Looks like it wasnt his first beer that night
I pretty sure "Cletus" was born in 1995 so no he wasn't 15.
a reds apple ale if I'm correct
Dude. What? He said "Twenty fifteen. That was fifteen years ago. You were fifteen."
Cleetus is 26. That video was filmed in 2015. He was 20 or 21.
@@SpikeKastleman who cares bro we all done it at one point or another
Massive props to Tom Bailey, the car that started old Cleet himself, I bet that you never expected to be lapping this beast when you put that clip together so many years ago Garrett..."dreams come true and you're living it"...❤️🔥🔥🔥
Who knew that Tom and Kyle would give birth to the legend we know and love today?
Man, Tom Bailey sounds like one chilled guy!
“This here vehicle was built in America, and so am I”🤣🤣 hell yeah brother!!!
Tom Bailey, you are a great man. Knowledge is Power. And Cleetus, you brother make it fun. Cheers guys
The paint job on that Nova is bloody gorgeous. It looks like it was only painted five minutes ago. The Camaro looks amazing as well. Great Job to whoever sprayed them.
I love that Cleeter was under 21 and drinking in that video! LOL
Looking back a fetus cleetus brings me happy tears😂
seeing a young Cleeter makes you realize how time flies.
From Mullet-less to full party in the back
The video earned my like as soon as you said “this car was built in America and so was I” 😂
“You were 15 years old back in 2015” got me wondering how old cletus actually is and my mind is blown not because he’s 26 but because his actual name is Garrett Mitchell
Shhhhh keep that quiet 🤫
His government name is Lawrence Garrett Mitchell.
Wow he’s the same age as me. I didn’t realize that.
How do you vet 26 from that? He was born in 2000ish
Something a mate said to me years ago that stuck around for me..
No matter what car you own, someone will always have something better....👍👍
Tom let you drive his baby. Now you gotta let Tom drive yours. Put him In Leroy 😂
This should definitely be a thing!!!!!!!!!!
100% FOR SURE MUST DO IT FOR DALE DUDE!!
+1 Get Tom in Leroy.
Tom would say, Why is this car so SLOW?
Well the turbos are lower now. Maybe it could happen
Been watching toms channel and just loving this. Shows we do all come from somewhere no matter how much of an idol or celebrity someone is!
I still remember the day that 1320 video came out and the world was introduced to Cletus McFarland.
That’s just so cool to see what started it all. Cleetus is the only youtuber that genuinely feels like family. You’ve come so far!
These guys are on a totally different level, they deserve the praise! I'm impressed...
Love the classic throw back to good young ol’ Cleeter
8:13 “you hate to take a reliable car and......”
*cleetus has Ruby flashes in his head”
🔥💥
i have to think that tom is the nicest guy out there. but probably scary as hell when he is mad
I got the same feeling lol
definitely looks like a hard man haha,
@@AudibleVisibIe p0ppppp0p
What a great guy Tom is and damn are they some sweet cars !! 6 seconds is not only a street car, a bloody beast of a drag car but also in my opinion a 1st place show car, it is a whole new level of beauty !!
This is such a smart move for Tom and his channel this will help to let people know he's got a channel and it's a killer channel I've been subscribed and I learn all kinds of stuff from it.
That’s more horsepower than every car my family owns combined
No cap
So an 02 Silverado for dad, 2010 prius for mom, and your 2004 civic base
Yea if you put that in to perspective that’s a lot of bald eagles
@@_winter7745 you prob drive a Subaru shut up hahaha 🤡🤡🤡
That’s more horsepower than ALL the cars I’ve ever owned 😅
Cleetus: Drives the fastest car he has ever driven and falls in love.
Mullet: 😭😭😭
I dunno, if warbird had a rear end in it and slicks, if that som bich grabbed the road and launched without doing a back flip that car would be right down track with the camaro.. its just built to ride on ice otherwise itd rip the diff out every time it launched...
Rip mullet
@@Z-Ack sick seconds has like 3500hp warbird has like 1800hp. It would still be cool to see warbird do a drag pass leaving 1320ft of tire tracks
@@Z-Ack shhh, leave the talking to the adults.
Just means mullet gets a new update befor not even goes down the track
That's a cool ass guy to give you that kind of freedom.
Magnificent Build! The low throttle drivability is impressive. This car is Dialed. Making 3500 one day, on a dyno, with huge turbos and billet everything is a fairly straightforward exercise. Getting a car to live in the real world with that power is another story all together. Starts right up. Idles. Doesn't lurch all over the place like a supercharged card. I can definitely see why you'd be reluctant to tear this apart. It's a finished, fully developed, balanced machine. I'd have a real hard time taking the motor out of this chassis....
Gotta love Tom Bailey ! Real Legend in the Racing World / Humble / Nice
And Some of the Baddest Street Cars in the World !!
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 Do It For Dale Baby 🏁🏁
I see a McFarland Video , and I click , plain and simple 😂
Hell yeyah bruda! Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷
Ima nas jos dobro je😂
@@JedemPoKucama ima ima 😁
Ima nas 😁
the steering wheel being crooked fits you perfectly, its meant for you
Tom does great work.. Not just great work, but safe work. I've seen him work on a few other big name cars, and safety is always the first thing ahead of fast.
Ive never met Tom in person but from behind the camera he looks like one of the nicest guys in the sport.
I'm sitting here watching this video and thinking "wait, wasn't this yesterday's video??" Then I look, it's not. Then I realize I watched almost the exact same video on Toms channel yesterday... 🤦♂️😂😂😂
Tom didn’t mention the bad ass Nitro burning Nomad he’s having built by one heck of a car builder by the last name of “Dennis Taylor”.
yep, really only people in the know, know about it.
@@wobblysauce and the hundreds of thousands of people that saw the multiple videos on it on his channel.
Not so loud.
DT is awesome. Can't wait to see 100 Proof run.
@@QuantumLeap83 Heck ya!
My daily dose of happiness... nothing like a little methanol in the afternoon.
Anyone else actually like the smell of gasoline when you just get to the gas station on a summer day?
Always
Of course, I actually prefer the smell of gasoline in the winter because I find it to be a more pure rich smell because there is none of the flower or pollen in the air. But that might just be me lol
@@tstuff1213 it always reminds me of those time when you had your first car and you thought it was the best thing ever when in reality it was an 800 dollar junker that you beat to death. It's kind of funny I probably cherished that car more than the brand new car I daily.
Ethanol tastes much better.....
I used to, but then the Panic Buyer Nation Attacked
Tom showing cleet what big boy racing is all about. Once the elco gets its wings cleet taking a big ole step from junkyard builds to purpose built rippers. So exciting to watch it all unfold!
Watching in 2024, knowing Cleeter has a Camaro on the way, makes this content even more applicable!
The look on cleetus's face when he got in is like a kid who finally gets to go to disneyland lol
Cleetus" " Hi Tom, you see that FreightLiner car hauler behind you"?
Tom: " Yes"
Cleetus: "Thanks"!
Could you imagine seeing a car with a wheelie bar drive past you on your way to work 😂
Dudes like cleetus influences people to become car enthusiasts. It helps to keep the culture going. Which is awesome👍
I am amazed you still have that original footage so readily available. 10/10 TH-cam historian right here.
Edit: “Looks good but sounds good too.” Sorry Tom but despite that being true I have to say I like the sound of Leroy better. Hearing his turbos is just unreal.
Edit 2: I try to turn a blind eye because I don’t want to start a comment war but of all the cars you’ve driven on the street this would be the one that regardless of local laws wearing your seatbelt is _absolutely_ required. I mean you do in Leroy and this car’s more powerful.
I'm shocked Cleetus didn't explode from all the Freedom!
He did, and it ended up in his socks... LMFAO
I am so early that i moved back in time with the terms of quality.
Ive noticed Usually the older guys with a bald head and a beard have all the 3000hp cars
Going that fast moves the follicles to the chin.
You gotta be aerodynamic to go that fast brother.
It takes a while to get to that level of investment and backers to build a car like that so there you are.
@@umunhum 🤣
Mike Caplan haha makes sense 😂
My first video of cleetus was when he was looking at the vy SS ute
The love and respect he has for Aussie muscle cars and also Kyle loftis made me become huge fans of your guys TH-cam channels
Love and respect
That car is such a Nother level look at a wheelie bar and parachutes on it so stoked for you Cletus !!! Tom’s good people right there
Cleetus: I’ve driven some fast cars in my life.
Cleetus after driving Sick Second: I will never drive a car that is faster than this in my life.
Put a note on your calendar to check this comment in 1 year... Mullet will end up as some 5k horsepower exotic fuel monster. Lol
And then pulls some more money from his trust fund, and does it.
I have a feeling Kevin will be getting a call shortly regarding changes to the Mullet... LOL
Simple put, I see a Cleetus video, and I click it
I saw Tom and I clicked so fast!!!!!!!
Tom has a video of them 2 also.
Just goes to show you how life can sometimes go in circles. All your hard work with Cleetus and the FF has brought you back to one of the things that got the whole shindig started. Love it, keep it up!!
6:00 that 6 stage dry sump on the table
“Cleetus MURICA McFarland and his 3000 hp Camaro”
All I hear in the intro is "hell yeah broth your on the crack a cold Busch light channel!"
Hell Yeah Brother
God I am hyped
Is he actually letting Cleetus drive it at the track?
@@matthewcohen194 There was a vid out yesterday from Steve Morris. Cleet went 6.53 at 224mph. Probably see it any day now
@@nickluckovitch3288 Damn.
I'll tell ya what. Several of the biggest, best and OG automotive youtubers have put out some real good content in the last few weeks.
I've always wanted a '69 Camaro but never owned one. I did own a '64 Nova, my first car. It had a 40 thousand bored 350 cid engine, 4 barrel carb with a built turbo 350 transmission. It would fry the tires on its 13 inch rim as long as you wanted it to in any gear. Thanks for the Vlog!
Dude the Steve Morris engine chillin in the back looking like an antique coffee table, take my money!
It is going to get fixed and put back in 2.0
@@MX304 I realized that was 2.0 engine after I watched the video lol
@Cleetus McFarland I live in Michigan and would love for you to help me fix my camaro. It’s my only car and I’m a disabled vet so I can’t go work to make extra money to fix it. It’d be a good video for the month of freedom to help a vet. Blow this comment up please
Last time I was this early the hummer hadn't gone in the pond yet!
Crazy how time flies, I’ve been following since that video and it does not seem like 6 years
Sounds and looks amazing on my computer through speakers. Must be out of this world in the flesh. You two would make a good team. He’s got the showstopper cars you’re a good presenter.
The sick seconds 1.0 Camaro is pretty, but that black and red Nova is just incredible. 🤩
You can see the judgment/approval in his eyes as you take her out on the road. Love you brother and keep doing you!
Thinking I've just witnessed Tom Bailey smile, who is known to be seriously straight faced about business at hand. Fun times is what makes living a blast.
This is for the ogs that have been following cleetus since that video. I know I have. Love the content keep up all your amazing work brother
Honestly it’s really cool seeing this car again on your channel 🤙🏼 almost like a home reunion from forever ago !
