      @@WB4JB For a lot of autistic people it's hard to just sit down and enjoy something and be content. It's a lot of overstimulation mentally, even just sitting down doing nothing, it feels like very bad anxiety and its difficult to focus on something, in other words it's hard to find something that can not only keep your mind at bay but also find something you can enjoy. It's a big deal to people like us, the 20 minutes of peace and not having to deal with the mental unpleasantness really means a lot. It's like trying to drive a car that bucks and surges, cuts out, etc. When you finally drive over a smooth road and the engines running perfectly its awesome, to most people that would just be driving

This is really nice to watch the older generation and maybe THE youngest person out here running his own record holding program; working together and recalling how each of them have influenced the other, it is so damn cool
    To make it short, i LOVE seeing tom and cleeter hang out together. There is so much history and chemistry between them, they should DEFINITELY be doing more stuff together. If they come out for drag week with each of them in a camaro i am seriously going to lose my freakin shit

    So awesome for Tom to trust Garret this much. Tom is a legend in the sport. Steve makes some great engines.

    Welcome to my hometown drag strip Cleetus! Glad you are ok. Glad nothing horrible happened. Hope you enjoyed a track I grew up with.

      ABSOLUTELY! Why else would they be giving him the red carpet treatment? I think the Drag Week will be the icing on the cake.

    Cleetus, some of the best TH-cam vids I've watched ever. I been in a full "rabbithole for the past 4+ hours, missed all of the MNF game, the news, and now it's 12:30am and I got to hit the sack. Great shit brother, your a fun guy to watch and thanks for putting your video's together for all of us to have a chance to see what you do. I love the new toter and trailer also and congrats on your 6.58/224/no chutes! That was sick! Cheers DieselDax
