Need race prize ideas for April 5th, 2024 Freedom 500. Same day as my birthday. Needs to be the coolest prize ever in the history of racing.
Prize could be any of your old fleet cars looking to part ways with?
Helicopter.
Dale truck retro-mod
Carbon cub
Off Road buggies with LS motors
Grass damaged is temporary, the memories you made for everyone......unforgettable
You said it brother🤙🏻
*LEEETS GOOOOOOOOOOO*
JH's 4wd finisher and LSGeorges exaust glowing thru the burnout smoke! the re tip in line around the drift track was fricken sweet too
The green gets damaged all the time. It’s Florida, a simple sod job, no biggie.
@@Nick210simple yet costly. i say they just fuckin leave it be, i mean cmon its a race track not a golf course shits always gonna get tore up! think of how many racecar parts they could buy instead fighting this never ending battle of keeping the grass nice n tidy
95-97% and nobody was turned away sounds like a big win 🏆
I was thinking the same thing! If no one was turned away then there was no disappointment! Imagine a family driving 2 hours only to be told no capacity left? That would suck. In this case, 99% is better than 101% !!
I’m thinking exactly the same, 95% is spot on
I agree with y'all completely. A sell out sounds cool, but 95%+ capacity guarantees great energy there in person and nobody getting turned away, which I agree is by far better than a sell out where folks don't get to be a part of the experience.
Selling out long beforehand of an event on the other hand, where everyone understands all tickets are sold weeks before, that would be neat and I think would avoid any in person. Disappointment at the gates.
Just had a further thought, who’s to say that 3% wasn’t sick or had something other come up which meant they couldn’t go
Rodney is the living meme of “I got one more in me” 💀
💀💀💀💀💀
This is the most accurate description you could put on Rodney 💀😂😂
You all rock. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@sz2122 Needs to be a decal on ol Rodney
Rodney balboa
The fact that Rodney fired up and was able to be put on the chip is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen an engine so hot the whole thing was glowing. I’m surprised it didn’t melt to a pool of metal on the burnout pad
The valve covers were glowing red. I didn't think that was possible.
I have no idea how that thing is still running? I've seized an engine before when it had barely overheated, that thing must have some fairly hefty gaps when it's cold so it can grow in to itself!
@@benjaminfrohnsI wonder what the temperature got up to.
@@nickwebb9937all of it 😂
@@nickmaclachlan5178that's exactly what he did I'm guessing to keep it from seizing up.
That minivan jump will be remembered forever
Yes especially by the guy driving it... He will remember it every time he tries getting out of a chair..... I guarantee his back is feeling it right now..... 😭
That moment needs to be framed on a wall and signed by everyone
what minivan jump 😂
You mean minivan takeoff. That wasn't a jump; that was straight up flight.
Nice
The fact that everyone cleaned up after themselves shows the amount of respect we have for Cleetus. That show was amazing and I'm def buying tickets for April 5th no doubt. Dude thank you for giving my kids a memory with me they will never forget. What an absolute blaat they had. They havent stopped telling people about it. Thanks buddy
That brought a tear to my eyes brother! Memories with kids are forever.
I went to my local speedway recently and was disgusted by the amount of rubbish left lying around as I was walking out after it finished. I picked up what I could while thinking to myself, "if this was a Cleetus event, I wouldn't have to be doing this."
@@laska907what is your concept of a business? 😂
@laska907, and you're upset it's not you. It's okay buddy, man worked hard to reach where he's at. Stop being so hateful and maybe just maybe you'll experience what he does.
Can definitely say I never got to see anything this cool growing up ! I wish I was in the US for this I would try to make it a yearly thing the kids will never forget it
from turbo whistles and duck calls to monster trucks and flying minivans. I cant believe how much this channel and the crew have grown i look forward to these videos so much its unreal
AAD is out here doing it for Dale with that machining and anodizing and finishing.
My 10yo son and I had a blast at Saturdays event! I even watched your wife filling the condiments at the concession stand at one point. Utmost respect to your crew and your family. We will be back this weekend for the drag races!
Joseph is the 🐐
Making memories with your son. The best gift one can "give".
When you see that level of involvement from the track owners you understand why this place works so well. You'd never see that at Bristol or Daytona!
Our boy George absolutely KILLED IT with that skid.. Hands down his best yet. That engine bay way beautiful lol
Certainly had some heat in that motor!
That's the hottest I've seen anything get on this channel, and you just can't kill an old Chevy
* engine bae
How is that even possible... A million degrees to on fire to an easy next day restart.
@@drb2323 I’m blown away. I figured the engine would be locked up from all that heat. The god damn valve covers were glowing lmao.
I adore the running joke with Cleetus and his lawn. It makes it hilarious when you see someone tear it up, I'm sure we all went uh-oh when Kraken headed for the lawn.
Here's a couple ideas Cleeter to help improve the track visuals, a bit of safety, as well as even the competition a bit with number 4. I apologize for the length of this comment, but not sure how else to reach you where this would be seen easily!
1. When making a vehicle jump, to avoid the nose diving, the jump doesn't need to be necessarily high, but the jump platform/surface should always be a bit longer than the wheelbase of the vehicle hitting the jump. I promise this works. It's when the jump is shorter than the vehicles wheelbase than it will always, always nosedive. Normally 1.5x the wheelbase at minimum will help this, feel free to experiment from there. Height doesnt matter so much as angle there.
2. You should put down those red and white kerbs on the inside of your turns. This really helps drivers see where the edge of the paved surface is, especially in the dark, and also helps you plan your turn ahead of time and further back than just pave to grass. Also it subconsciously helps keep drivers from tearing that edge up, helping to keep the track looking good! I'm unsure of cost for this but it could be a wise investment to help keep grass and grading costs down later.
Even just to throw some down around the inside of the kidney bean turns to start, could add them to the main turns later. It's just the bright colors help a driver see that edge in the heat of the moment to really dial in the turns without having to try and focus on where that edge is too much.
3. This ones a big maybe, but what about throwing down a paint line down the center of the track all the way around, for the spectator drags to help the fellas stay on their side if needed, and,
4. Maybe throw down a bright driving line with bright green on exits, and bright red coming into turns like youd see in Forza or Gran Turismo, so the less experienced drivers can learn the lines of the track and get their times up, that way it could be more competitive with the veteran drivers?
Hope this helps. I'm not in any way implying you're dumb for not doing or considering these things, I just know you're a busy man Garrett, and want to throw out some ideas to help keep the place looking great!
Also, could we get a full build video on the track hawk especially, but also all giveaway cars at least? This would help the new owner know exactly what went on during installation, as well as anyone watching who owns these vehicles with confidence to work on their own rigs! Heck call Derek Bieri up to help with production on the first couple build videos!
Thanks for everything Cleetus, George, Jackstand and everyone else involved! Love the content and humor!
Bump
This would make it less fun tho
@@Offroadflicks less chaotic maybe. But less fun I don't think so
I can't believe that motor still ran after being that hot. That is nuts.
Rodney "i didn't hear no bell"
Ls baby
@@Taxevader-gk9msol Rodney marsh
I did my xj 4.0 that way!! It was literally glowing!! I let it cool for a few hrs, and it fired right up!! We were tripping 😂
@@joshhuffine4522no way it was that hot 😂
Every track and event manager needs to take notes from y’all. For real, great fucking work guys.
Honestly though Garett and his team got it down right, and it didn’t take them long at all to figure it out.
@@gbshaw107thats what being around tracks all over the place all the time gets ya
It really makes you realize why so many tracks close down. They just don't have this kind of attractions and fun.
@@octane613 some of them had revenue that outweighed the surrounding areas value, only to be shut down by noise complaints/lawsuits constantly.
With the amount of work you and the guys put in I cannot accept a refund brother. It was out of your hands, you did your best and man it was amazing. Hell of a show
You know Cleet is a classy guy when his mom pushes in and said we ain't havin no dirty bathrooms here. And he made that happen, every. Single. Event.
I was honestly blown away with those AAD parts! Everytime they opened a box I was shocked!!!!
seriously! never heard of them but if they make parts for what i drive ill definately be a customer that stuff was beautiful!
Was looking for this comment lol. Same, shit is seriously impressive
AAD performance has some badass parts i cant believe they anodized those parts like that what a top notch company.🇺🇲🇺🇸
Those look like parts off an F22 or something.. So much R&D with those unique ball joint control arm designs.
Talk about capitalizing on an opportunity to showcase their products 🤤
@@Christopher_Ryeah they really went all out, my jaw was just about on the floor. Great way to show off your merchandise!
Beautiful parts
Those parts were absolutely beautiful.
Cleetus has been the biggest, most influential Motorsport ambassador of the century. He’s bringing people to the sport that never would have been interested, just a stand up dude, you deserve everything you’re receiving.
As a small buisness owner in Tennessee, it says a lot about Garrett's company shouting out the lawn care nuts company. As always it's a joy to watch this company grow!
Cleetus keeps telling himself it's okay, but deep down in his heart you can feel his pain about the grass. 😂😂😂
It’s Florida, they can resod that in an hour
Those suspension parts for the trackhawk are insane.
Curious how much effort it takes to put it back to stock height if'n a guy or gal wants to put factory wheels back on it? You're likely gonna say "WHY THA HELL WOULD ANYONE WANNA DO THAT?!" 🙂
@@quickdeuce No I agree, would revert it back to stock and hang those suspension parts on the wall!
I love the red white and blue!
Cleet your my age and your just over here making a difference in this messed up world YEEYEE
I just want to say a genuine THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!!!!!
Cleetus is killing it! So happy to see his success and the way he spreads the love. Keep telling my son we gotta make the pilgrimage to the Freedom Factory. "Hell ya Brother"
George set a high mark to beat with that crazy skid! Can't say that I've ever seen a LS engine glowing cherry red from the cylinder heads up to the turbo and still was running. The whole event was absolutely stellar and can't wait for the next one.
😂that engine will redirect a tank round
George engine builder of the year haha. Fuck me 🤣🤣
I’m really curious what the temperature gauge read.
@@nickwebb9937all of it. It read all of it
@@nickwebb9937 all of it
Good to see us Aussies have finally taught you guys how to do a burnout :P
I do like he always shouts out Australia
Oath
@@bpl101they have and always will hold the burnout trophy’s lol
AUSIE, AUSIE, AUSIE!!!
We’ll be sure to thank them if we ever come across one😅
LeMullets was by far the best show you've ever put on. That was so much fun and I HIGHLY recommend anyone who's thought about going to one of these to go. They are worth every penny and every moment of time spent. So much fun and so many good people.
Absolutely an incredible show!!! You are setting the mark!! THANK YOU!!!
For April you need to contact the public affairs office at Hurlbert Field or Homestead AF Reserve unit to get a fly over from a helicopter or osprey. Both are in Florida and go alot further for flights.
Macdill is like 5 minutes flight from there.
I say some F18-SH's doing Mach .999!
Brother what a event! You guys really put on a hell of a show!! 120 foot jump in a mini van is absolutely nuts😂
''Van Prix'' was INSANE !
129 feet
It’s the “let’s go” from the announcers when he lifts off that kills me. And the airbag going off in the passengers seat 😂
This is how unforgettable memories are made at the freedom factory 🇺🇸 cleet is the king 👑 of the car community thanks for keeping it alive
I have yet to rewind multiple times just to rewatch moments so many times on this channel until now. What an epic event, really wish I could of been there in person!!!
Sometimes after a long, hard day, these videos are the only thing besides my dog that really never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you for all that you do Cleet & crew, much love from Texas!
Yep, a year ago, I had hope a relationship might spark with someone I had the hots for over a period of 10 years and on Christmas she confirmed she felt the same way for the last 8 years. It only lasted a handful of months before we figured out we were too different and she drug out giving up on us and I didn't want to give up. We are both animal lovers and she brought home chickens last spring. Last week, our favorite chicken (the last of the initial 4 that she got), who followed us like a dog, was killed by the rooster. I didn't want her to keep a rooster at all, but she has had him for a couple months after finding out it was a male. It was a hard blow after my mom rented her the house cheap to get away from her ex. and I worked on the house and stayed there to continue working on it.........which started our relationship, but she got back with her ex after only 2 months of me going home despite her initially thinking there was nothing left between them. If she had just stayed single as she intended, I would have continued to be a helping friend since she is a mother of an autistic teen. Anyway, it really sucks to deal with such disappointment and then the loss of a pet, especially considering how my social life has been, but this video made me smile again because these are REAL, honest people, showing what their life is like. Screw the fake reality tv. These guys make good money and are very fortunate, but stay real and relatable so we can have fun through seeing what they do. I HATE watching sports but do shooting competitions myself and love watching Cleetus and similar youtubers show the whole story....or a good portion of it vs. "Gold Rush" and others.
@@CGT80 Stay strong, brother. Plenty of good folks out there, just seems difficult to find them sometimes.
You need a girlfriend homie lol😊
Yup. A good dog and Cleetus. Both are things that don't let you down! 👍
Brother. What youre doing for the racing community is worth some torn up grass. I love this man. Im planning a trip to the freedom 500.
We need a Cleetus in NorCal. Sacramento Raceway Park had its final event yesterday, after being open a few months short of SIXTY years. I hope the county supervisors enjoy all the street racing and side shows that they'll be getting on public roads now. An absolute shame.
That grass really is amazing! Take your shoes off. 😹🍻
Man this warns my heart. I remember watching ol Garet on the 1320 channel as a camera guy and now he's hosting live monster jams and races at his own freaking race track. I couldn't be happier for the guy!
Those AAD suspension parts are works of art both in the engineering that has obviously gone into them and the incredible finish. To Quote Project Farm, Very Impressive!
Cleet you did an amazing job with this show. I traveled all the way from Michigan to see this and was blown away. Thank you for all your hard work! Definitely will be coming to more!
Damn, pick me up in Indiana next time, I got gas money
We're proud of you Cleetus
What a great time! I'm fortunate to live one town over and have been coming to this track for over 30 years. It's definitely in the right hands. Well done everybody.
22:48 George: "People don't know I'm the greatest engine builder on earth" Anybody else remember the first motor George put in Rodney? The one he grenaded on the first start? lol
Hahahahaha that is still one of the funniest videos in the history of the internet 🤣
Pretty sure squirrel helped him put that 1 together?
What video ?
dude they went way beyond with that finish on those parts. amazing work aad!!!!
Congratulations cleet you put on a hell of a show! Your killing it brother
I hit a speedbump at Safeway one time and launched my wife's Town & Country like that.
It’s awesome to see how much Garrett loves that racetrack and the pride he has in it. Little grass and it’s all good.
Love y’all keep up the hard work! We all enjoy it!
Love how you are so open with the behind the scenes best part keep it up
Everytime Cleet drinks the AG1 he looks like he’s about to yak😂
I was thinking he does it as a joke or challenge to not look sick. I would love a miracle dose of vitality daily, I'm not drinking that snot mix.
That’s why I take vitamin pack from 1st Phorm. That AG1 is beyond disgusting.
Clearly needs to get the ppv company on the AG1, since they dropped the ball so hard during the event.
That AG1 is God awful, it smells like rabbit food and tastes like lawnmower rinse water
@@Corey497 Did it make you feel better? Clean your whistle, so to speak?
I am blown away how far you guys have come. Man......what a fricken ride. Be safe gents. Please be safe. We all need you and what you are doing way more than you think.
Cleetus your shows are amazing many thanks to your team. Well done brilliant videos.
Thank you for an amazing weekend! had a blast!
What this team has done for the racing community is no less than stellar! I hope others will buy the abandoned tace tracks and bring back the good ole family fun. Great job fellas!
Hey Cleetus, you need to do a full update on the track. I seen on video the track has big screen TV's now. For those of us that don't get to see in person would like to see the stands, food, etc.
They are brought it.
@@jerrywilcox9890 huh?
@@Tits_Money I think he's saying that they are brought in just for the events, probably rentals.
They were rented. They aren’t that bad to rent.
@@banaana1234 gotcha
I love the videos you fellas make.... it just seems like endless fun at the cleetus garage! All of you seem fun to be around!
Great job, everyone. Thank you
My kids had never seen one of your videos, but after the show, you have two more subscribers! They were so excited watching the burnouts. The drag racing was unreal, thank you for that. Meeting some of the guys was awesome, and you're all so genuine and love what you're doing. My daughter was excited because her birthday is the day before yours. They are asking already to go back! Hell yeah brother...
No matter how stressful these events can be just know every fan loves you and your team
It was awesome!!! Thank you for delaying the show until the live stream was working. Even with the issues it was the best!
Cleetus, you embody America. Thank you!
I see glimpses of team members I haven't seen before working at the Freedom Factory and even the merch team and I'm so curious about some of the background stuff that goes on to run the whole operation and the team you have doing it. I think it would be great to show some of the stuff that happens, maybe on the Cleetus2 channel, that normally would not make it to the main channel for whatever reason.
I think there are many like me that would love more Cleetus content, it doesn't need to be film and edited by you or just focused on what you are doing. Tye's fabrication videos are a good example.
If you film it we will watch...😊
You can tell he takes it to heart when he talks about the ppv issues. Love to see it!
This event was such a banger. Keep it up!!
love seeing the good ol boy vibe going strong, been here since you first got ruby. Keep chasing the dream.
George decided to turn Rodney into an artificial sun and somehow it still runs. I'm blown away 😂😂😂
We need a before and after weight on the hawk!
Amazing Show !!! It was incredible!!!
It’s really beautiful what you’ve done with this abandoned track. The last event was insane! And I love that late model oval racing is happening.
AAD hands down the best looking parts for this track hawk build
The whole video I was thinking about those parts. Insaneee!!
Honestly the above and beyond some of these companies go for Cleets parts is a good business move. They know the reach and influence he has. And, well, he is a good dude
If I was a Track Hawk guy, I'd be looking at their stuff. it looks top notch. as long as bushings and ball joints are serviceable, stiff looks top notch
@@dustyc324 Yeah those are some very high quality parts. Way more than what the average Joe would need
@CarsCatAliens I guess Joe likes wheel hop? just kidding. nice stuff.
You have such a good attitude about it, I would go nuts getting ready for another event. Your great personality and your way of looking at things, makes the track what it is. People will never stop coming with the amount of entertainment that you bring there.😂😂😀😀👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
We need more Tom!!!! Absolute legend right there.🔥
Rodney made me smile so much when he got all fired up again 🤘🤣
Need to do a new layout for the portable bleachers because it blocks the grandstand the people there should be able to see all the time.
You should think of a new layout for the portable bleachers.
Other then that I enjoyed my first cleetus event after watching on yt for some many years
Absolutely awesome! Even as a foreign viewer the growth and work put into the Freedom Factory is so nice to see. The positivity shows in the respect of your attendees. I absolutely love Florida and have been visiting for decades, This is exactly what is brilliant about it and the people! Hell yeah Brothers 🇺🇸 🏴 👊🏻 🦅 🦄
Omg 😮😦😳🤪 That was madness! Amazing content guys! Thank you for everything guys!
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKYOU TO YOU AND ALL THE CREW FOR ALL THAT YOU GUYS AND GALS DO FOR ALL US FANS!
The look on Cleeters face when the stars and stripes running gear came out for the track hawk. Which he loves already. You could see he was contemplating keeping the hawk.😅😂 The event looked insane!! I wanted to make it down so bad. Another complete success.
Awesome video guys! The event was insane!!!
Cletus, you’re living the dream. Thanks for all the work you guys put in for our entertainment. 🤘
shoutouts to the AAD guys for going to a whole new level with the anodized stuff for the Trackhawk too, like its not just billet parts, its billet AND finished for the real Cleetus package. Love to see it, the grass might be totalled but the memory of this event will live on forever in our minds and hearts. One amazing event after another!

man i love you guys. you have no idea how much i appreciate the much needed smiles and positive energy you give me. like a scramble button for my soul. keep on keepin on brothers.
Doing over time watching cleetus love from Australia brother ❤
Hey Garrett, congratulations to you bro, you did an amazing job this past season and with 24hr. Le Mulletts! We all owe you a debt of gratitude for putting on a show that the whole family can enjoy and a show we can all come to regardless of our god, our politics, the foods we eat, none of it matters for a few hours we’ll just having fun. Thank you!
This is marketing, racing, content, entertainment genius! Fun, wholesome, educational and hilarious at the same time👍 pure gold
What you are doing for the automotive community is absolutely incredible. Keep it up, brother.
I think I esteem Cletus more than any other youtuber. Look at what this man has built for himself, and the family he has built up around this racetrack. It's amazing to see.
Love listening to successful people ❤
Dude, those AAD parts are freaking SICK!!
Those AAD parts were insane!!!!!!!
Seeing the "this tree ain't seasonal" shirt warms my heart, still got mine with the galaxy on it from the first round. I actually had you sign it for me when I met you in Charlotte, certified giraffe lol
Shout out to you and the crew I appreciate you all much love for you guys.
Great job guys!!
Lawn care nut here. And I approve of the carnage 🙌🏻😮💨
That minivan race was frikn bananas that cut of the oil pan melting against the kicker was just gold
I’m putting it on the calendar now. I will be there April 5-6 from Springfield,MO!!
The clean bathroom thing is so cool. It just shows an appreciation to the guests. If I have someone over at my house I want them to have a clean environment to take drop a steamer in.
my only criticism would be that you need somone to clear folks off the fence in the vip section .....my wife actually looked at me and said "i didnt pay $100 to stare at this dudes ass all day" more bleachers and keep folks off the fence and the back section is golden!!
had a blast brother ...my best trip to the FF yet (ive been many times) and i look forward to seeing what you come up with next
Proud of you Garret and your team 💪 You've executed so well in everything you touch.. Excited for your future
Saturday was awesome. Came down from Ohio for the week for thanksgiving and went to the event straight off the plane! Thanks for the badass event Cleet!!!
One of the best weekends an show in the history. Can't wait until April
