Vaughn modifies his car for you, your wearing his fire suit, ripping his car right beside ya. Cleet you are living the dream! I am just excited you are putting it on RUclips for the rest of us!
Literally living the car guys "ultimate dream"!!
He shoulda tried Vaughn’s car around here
@@dirtkicker9275 I think the “sponsors” have too much invested in that car so to speak for them to let him drive it yet. It’s kind of like how no one else drives Leroy.
@@Jeremy-eu9bx it’s not his FD car. And He’s driven them before at the FF
Fire suit in one seat. Shorts and t-shirt in the other. Hmmm.
*"Use the straight as a cool down section"
*Roll races straight away.
lmfao I saw that and laughed so hard
*need more air*
Good ol cleetur 1320 days
@@austintrajkovski3007 he never left he's just been busy😔😂
Those Cars are running alot hotter drifting at high rpm than just rolling down a stretch messing around
I know you say it’s a “Drag Racing” channel, it’s roots are in “Drag Racing”
You are now becoming a “Motorsports” channel and that’s a good thing!! Diversity doesn’t kill it it makes it better.
You bought the Freedom Factory for a reason, you man not have known the true reason at the time but it’s all evolving. If people bitch n moan about Drifting, Crown vics, boats Hovercraft, side by sides, who cares it’s your channel.
When he said that some get bored about drift it chocked me .. its unbelievable how clee can do so much things with cars ! People need to chill 🤣
Watching motorsports on tv has gotten too political for me. Cleetus and other youtubers are bring the fun back into the sport and inspiring young people. I had a big smile watching this video.
Anything that involves ripping a V8, going fast with mullets in the breeze, and using up rubber - is doing it for Dale.
I was thinking the same thing. Cleet is a true gearhead, so it was only a matter of time before he started branching outward. I'm lovin' it.
Mate this channel has given me an appreciation for Crown Vics , wish we got them here in Aus 🇦🇺
Vaughn Gittin Jr. seems like such a nice guy, but I'm not fooled. I have all his FF grass felonies on record and those speak louder than words.
Rofl!!!!
Vaughn Gittin Jr. IS Cal Naughton Jr from Talledega Nights and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Maybe he's just working on a ProVista St Augustine Smoothie recipe!
I can see it now tacked up on the wall of your garage is a posted that say
Wanted Dead or Alive

For the Mass Murder

St. Augustine Grass
at
The Freedom Factory
This comment is on point!
Vaughn "We like to take care of our drivers" Fully adopted brother!
Lol we all heard it. Our boy Garrett can drift!
I feel like cleetus will be competing for RTR by next year or the year after. Gotta get some competitions under his belt and he'll be the newest pro team member.
Freedom Factory: "Stay off my lawn."
Circuit of the Americas: "Stay off my lines."
This deserves top comment
Both orders ignored in the order they were received.
@@robbwiersma2596 lol
Get ken block out there to rip around with you all
What Lines were they talking about?
Honestly take a step back and realize how insane this is, Cleetus had what? One drift event, and a bit of practice here and there and he is out there doing high speed drifts around an F1 track. Absolutely impressive stuff.
"They are only worried about the lines.... " Cleet proceeds to hit every apex...
Now Cleetus knows how people feel when he screams about the grass. lol
Cleetus: "stay off the grass"
Vaughn: "stay off the lines"
Hahahaha
@Chris Mayo haha
That was my first though. LoL
Lol, mutually ignored
Vaughn: _"Stay off the lines."_
Cleet: "Ok"
Cleet: *Rips on lines anyway*
“Stay off the lines”
Stays on the lines
YOLO
Vaughn : "They really don't want you hitting the lines."
Cleet : *Administers the Freedom to the lines*
Who ever says they don’t love the drifting can leave I love to see the mix and see how far you’ve come in you’re driving
seriously, car people love everything cars. got some tight butts around here apparently who don't like motorsports.
I love all the car content as well...doesn’t mean I can’t say I enjoy the drag racing better!
I came to say pretty much exactly the same thing.
pretty much exactly what i commented
Same, I love the variety. Even the boat and hovercraft stuff. Motorsport is motorsport, regardless if you're floating, going in circles, going sideways, or going straight.
Your passenger’s fire suit looks to be highest fia rated suit there is.
Much respect to Vaughn! Any guy who would modify his own car just for a friend to rip it, gotta be one hell of a guy!
This is a long way from AdamLZ teaching ol' Cleet how to drift Leroy.
Yesssss it is
Adams no slouch
Adams a beast
Vaughn: We Like to take care of our Drivers.
Matter of time before Cleet is RTR 100%
Exactly what I thought. He’d make a great addition to the rtr team.
He'd have to join us ford guys lol they wouldn't allow any LS car's
@@jamesworkman686 I think he would join. It's Okay if he drives LS cars for his Personal/RUclips stuff, just how Vaughns' partner Chelsea Denofa owns/drives all BMW stuff.
Matter of time before their shop is AT the freedom factory.
@@Xavier1320 yeah I know that talking about to drive in competition if he joined RTR
Who’s getting tired of drifting?!? I mean I love the drag racing of course but it’s also awesome to see you diversifying and bringing the drift world onto your channel
I'm getting ready to unsubscribe. Drifting is beyond boring.
@@Nubicon find another channel to watch the same thing over and over then 🤷♂️ can’t blame cleetus for diversifying
“use the long straight as a cool down” races each other instead
Just want to mention I’ll never get tired of you improving your skills as a driver. It’s been amazing watching you come from straight line racing and excel in drifting so quickly. Hell yeah, brother.
He started out doing autocross and other types of racing. He isn't like james or kyle who never had curves in their tracks.
@@jsplit9716 Curves are over rated.
Driving is driving. Unless it’s Formula 1 than it really doesn’t matter.
I enjoy Cleetus content but drifting is basically gay asf. But I still support him.
@@chloehennessey6813 drifting requires far more skill than drag or auto cross🤷🏻♂️
tieson nainby maybe drag notauto cross. If you have a decent amount of power and some driving experience you can pick up drifting very easily.auto cross is a different story I’ve been doing all 3 for years now and auto cross is the only thing that I’m still not the best at
@@chloehennessey6813 Why is being able to control a car past the edge of grip gay asf? I'll take it you've never tried it properly? It's so much fun
“Use the straight to cool down”
*drag races down the straight
@parkerbethke impossible not to. PEDAL TO THE RUG!
the brakes and tyres would've cooled down at least... the engine is dead the moment Cleet opens the left door lmao
Vaughn just customizing his foxbody to fit Cleetus is just insane, could you imagine that even hapoening for you and doing this never even competing in drifting really lol
Vaughn recognizes cleets humbleness and wholeness
hopefully, cleetus will use this experience to break his bad habit of always hanging onto the hydraulic brake. just watch some japanese pro drift in car footage and their mastery of weight transfer and car control is astonishing. very little need for the e-brake. not ragging on cleetus. all love
100%
i think he was just letting the motor cool down a bit. he can get sideways without straining the motor.
We don’t get tired of the drifting. I personally love it. I love to see the progression!
Same!!!!!!
100% what I was thinking when he said that. I love these videos. I don’t know much about drifting myself. So I’m learning along with him. It’s dope.
In the end it's also just business. They're not letting him drive that car all the time just because he's a nice guy. I mean, I am a nice guy. Nobody asked me lol. He promotes his channel to their public and same goes back. Chimney needs to keep smoking. People complaining 'bout things like this 🤦♂️ I like the variety btw, but hey, nobody.. ✌
Cleet you're a pure talent. Keep drifting and progress your skill. I wanna see you compete and whoop ass.
“Just look where u wanna go not where ya don’t “💯
He's not wrong though, people have a tendency to drive where you look at ... "look where you wanna go", my driving teacher always told me.
101 of all driving and riding... you also heard it from the pros ;)
The actual term for it is target fixation, and it's not good for you ;)
@@Grumpy_old_Boot They always taught us that when I was coming up through amateur Motocross. Like for riding in ruts and stuff, don't over think it, just look ahead your body will subconsciously get you where you wanna go.
@@djjazzyjeff1232
Yup, for me it was winter driving.
Even though we don't get harsh winters that often here in Denmark, it is still a Scandinavian country, and the weather can change pretty quickly.
Driving lessons during a snowstorm were ... interesting, lets say. 😁
Drivers: Mandated to wear fire suit
Passenger: Shorts and a tshirt 😂
Cletus is a true wheelman
Cleeter trying to street race, Vaughn like WTF is happening 😂😂😂😂😂
trying to street race on a track lmao
😂😂😂😂
Lol Vaughan wasn't expecting that
What time
Drifting, drag racing, roundy-round, Freedom Factory, side-by-side, boatin', boggin' deep, gator fishin', etc... Whatever it is, I'm all-in on the Cleeter content!
Is't nice to see some diversity
You forgot hovercraft enthusiast !
X1000 agreed!!!
Hell yeah Brother
I'm sorry, who gets tired of the drifting content??? Dude, you're the reason I'm interested in watching these drift videos. I'm rooting for you when it comes to this content because we're getting to witness your growth in this genre from beginning to end! Vaughn has certified you as a competent drifter, trusting you with his fleet of mustangs. This is awesome and so exciting for me to watch because it's been a story in the making. So post away bud! You deserve it and I'm personally exciting for you. You earned it. Besides, this is only expanding your content which can draw in additional viewers. This also helps you keep your interests peaked rather than getting bored or burnt out, focusing on single genre of driving. You're my favorite channel to watch bud. Keep the content coming and keep James! You two are an awesome team!
Man Vaughn is such a cool dude ! I love how your channel brings so many awesome dudes together over sports we all love and enjoy ! Absolute pleasure to watch cleet!
All Drivers must wear a fire suit;
Passengers: Shorts and a T-Shirt will be fine...
Lol best oberservation
For real that bugs me, just like when you see someone riding a motorcycle geared up but their pillion isn't- in these situations, that gear can buy you the seconds that make big differences.
I'm surprised circuit of america let the passengers ride without gear, seems like a huge liability
@@KennyCnotG 100%! Youre all cool until a fuel line busts and youre in a carbeeque.
Extremely irresponsible of them.
Was thinking the same thing makes no sense at all
As previously mentioned, the Cleetus McFarland fa(n)mily is here to watch what YOU record and put out man. Drag racing, street racing, drifting or welding up aluminum jet boats, you and the boys are what make the content what it is, and why we come back every day looking for a new video.
I'm excited as sht about the drifting videos, its only a matter of time before you're out there with Gittin Jr and Chelsea tearing up the professional drift competitions man. Youve come a long damn way, and even though I dont know you personally (I will one day when this channel takes off) I cant help but to feel proud of you and the boys!!! Yall keep doing yalls thing, we will be here to watch!
Vaughn looks like someone who learned to drift in a muscle car. such a badass.
I'm definitely not tired of drift content. My favorite part of this channel aside from watching the technical strategies you guys try to improve your quarter mile times is the diversity of content.
I just realized we haven’t seen neighbor in a fat min
I was thinking the same thing
literally soon as he said neighbour i saw shit coment
This comment * lol
Exactly Cletus is trying to hard to be something he’s not
@@Bill-iy7eg what do you mean?
“Don’t drift on the stripes”
Proceeds to drift on the stripes
exactly what i was thinking
frr they where fucking em up (and they said they cost a lot i wandered how much
@@Lv.zx6r I dont know price but its special paint designed to slow down the f1 cars when they go off
@@Artemis3121 It's just paint bro. They don't use a paint to slow them down. If they want to slow them down when they go wide they add turf
@@smittman Maybe he was told the paint is made from mouse trap glue LOL.
Cleet, let em say what they want about the drifting content. This video was probably my favorite drifting content you’ve ever posted. Vaughn is one of the most wholesome humans on earth man. He truly wants to see people do well. That drift at the 10:45 mark.... absolutely golden content dude!
That is freakin awsome!! Definitely not tired of the drift videos, the diversity of what you do is so cool man!
I NEVER get tired of the drifting content, any content you put out is epic content 👍 us
thats it aye anything with a motor and with/without wheels doesnt matter have fun and we'll enjoy it
Now let's see Vaughn run a 7-8sec pass in ruby.
HELL YEAH!!!!!
Being sponsored by ford may be an issue there... same reason they had to take the mtn dew sticker off neighbor for him to drive it.
@@macontrack499 easy fix. Time to make a 7 second Ford for Vaughn to drive. Lol
@@macontrack499 yep.. I think ur right... Maybe Vaughn did it already with no video.. just saying.
Love the videos you do with Vaughn and the RTR team!! Videos like this are gold in my opinion. Keep them coming!! Great driving too!!
I tell you what, VGJ is just the coolest guy. He's taken Cleet under his wing in such a massive way with the drifting. No finer mentor
"Stay off the lines"
Cleetus- *hits all the lines*
frr they where fucking em up (and they said they cost a lot i wandered how much
Ah front tires don't mess the lines up. It's the rear tires and I really only saw that once down around turn 18 or so.
Just picking on my man cleetus is all, no disrespect intended I couldn't do it lol
“I know you guys get tired of the drifting videos” HELL NO BROTHER. I LOVE THIS! You’ve made me want to build a drift car and learn the art. Maybe one day I’ll run into some money to make it happen lol
You don’t need a lot of money to get a drift car, just suspension and life support mods for the engine really
I love it when you two get together, they are always just an awesome vid, your friendship is going to take you to the next level and leave everyone else behind 🤘🏽
Please NEVER stop with the drifting content, Cleetus! It's fun watching you learn to drift as you go, and cool seeing you set up your drift car fleet!
Vaughn: try to stay off the lines
Cleetus: ya no problem man
Also cleetus: paints lines on the warm up
😂😂😂 Right?
frr they where fucking em up (and they said they cost a lot i wandered how much
@@Lv.zx6r I don't think I wanna know what it cost.
They told the roll race guys that if they put any oil down they would be charged for the clean up. That started at $500 and went up from there. If you crashed, it would most likely be several thousand in fees for the clean up.
Cleeter got this bad habit of holding onto the handbrake as he’s drifting.
It's rly bad actually. Totally should stop it. 2 hands on the wheel plz. You get more control if you need correction. Cleeter could be more precise, but shits lit.
There is a bit too much handbrake use altogether, whether his hand is on it or not. I think he'll be learning to set the car up for the corner better without it soon. Still a great all round driver though
Got some pros here, wonder where their RUclips channel of them drifting is?
@@alfredvradenburg2689 People can discuss things, man. Nobody is ragging on Cleeter here. I'm sure he knows he's still got plenty to learn. Chill out, fam.
If you’ve ever actually gotten good at drifting you would know that you mostly drive with one hand...
Cleetus man I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I must say your skills as a driver have come so far! Keep up the good work my man!
Love the content! Content goes in flows with events. All drag, than some drift and then alot of track content. Love it all!!
Gotta admit, when I was laughing about turbo whistles on a c7, I wasn’t expecting to see drifting on COTA not too long after. Absolute legend!
He needs to bring back some of those old style videos. They were the best. Just dudes goofing off. Everything seems 10 times more serious now and I think some of the charm is lost.
Word
this video literally makes me want to meet Vaughn. dude is literally a professional fun haver. at face value seems so humble and kind too. hope to one day get to get out to an FD event and meet him
O.M.G.......I was literally tense in my chair watching cletus & Ken drift around the track. That's got to be an experience of a lifetime. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW...... HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT..... LOVE LOVE GUYS. YALL ARE FUNTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Love seeing you behind the wheel no matter the car you always manage to make it your own. This was a real treat.
Love how Vaughn's RTR exhaust just overpowers the fox body.
that is one very angry mustang sir!
And thats just the small block demo car. The fd car is a roush big block
"use the straight away as a cool down"
Cleet- immediately tries roll racing down the straight
Thats our Cleetus........
Drifting looks so “messy” inside the car. Switches to outside cameras and... “oh my gosh that is beautiful!”
Can't beat being stuck in Atlanta being unloaded (I'm a truck driver) and watching cleet kill it on an F1 track! Also while wearing the 7 second Ruby shirt! 😁
Cleet and LZ just are killing this RUclips content game! Can’t get enough of either!
Yup, been watching ADAM since he was in college and only had the white 335i and the cream s13. Im so happy for both of their accomplishments.
"Stay off the lines"
*literally hits every line"
edit: damn, 50 people below me said the same thing.
I love the drifting content! Honestly everything you do is great, it all puts a smile on my face.
I don’t ever get tired of the drift content. Some of your best videos are of drifting. It’s been amazing to watch you develop as a drifter over the last year.
Who doesn’t love the drift content, I come to see the bald Eagles released, and I am never disappointed. Hell yeah brother
douchebags that cry about it on his IG
@@shalakabooyaka1480 simple then scroll on 🤣🤣
Dear Cleetus: NO ONE GETS TIRED OF THE DRIFTING CONTENT!!!
Sincerely,
The Drifters
That would be false with 67 likes. Out of millions of subscribers. If he doesn’t get back to his good old ways I’m done watching this crap.
@@Bill-iy7eg bro... He won't miss you. Get lost. It's free content that is 10x better than anything in tv.... He's doing you a favor. But hey, complaining is cool too lol 🤣
@@Bill-iy7eg BYEBILL>>>No seriously chill out bro Cleetus has a oppurtunity ANY of would LOVE to have ,hes bringing us along with him,theres PLENTY of stuff to be pissed about .THIS isnt one of them. DANG!
@@hendoggable thx for the pep talk but I’m not pissed I just don’t like drifting. You do and I don’t tell you to chill out. Or call you pissed.
Hmmmm can u say double standard. I’m entitled to my opinion not yours. Thx
I agree ab sometimes getting tired of drift content but love watching you do it on days like these your excitement is contagious
Maybe I’m just drunk
Im not getting tired of the drifting content i love it! I don't watch your channel religiously but i oh so love the drifting you're doing ❤
Pretty sick to look over to the passenger side and see cleets foot work with the pedals.
Keep the drifting content coming.
Vaughn looks & sounds like a Sober version of Bam Margera that's lived a "not so rough" life. Lol.
they both have a delco accent
@@gnarkiller real ones can smell a delco accent a mile away 😩
@@Stefan-vv9sv I listen to too many east coast podcasts that make fun of it ahahaha
They have accents 🤯
Sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad haha
I like that “I know you guys might get tired of drifting videos, but it’s cool and the next video is also drifting”
It’s hard to get tired of your videos
Maaaaan, old Cleetur, you're a talented driver and a humble guy. It makes me feel happy seeing you get these crazy opportunities because of who you are and what you've achieved. Full respect to you man 👏👏👏
I feel like vaughn is going to build him an RTR mustang eventually and be the 3rd car in the fleet
RTR Crown Vic
Plz
@@charless6136 you’re on to something there big fella
I politely disagree with you. Cletus is years away from even entering a Pro-Am let alone a drive in an RTR car in pro1 or pro2. Plus he has terrible driving style he needs to keep his hand off the E break.
I was thinking the same thing dude
I think Cleetus was having to much fun to remember anything he agreed to. I'm pretty sure it was like an out of body experience for him and his body was running on pure muscle memory.
Cleetus: Right, stay off the lines..
Muscle memory/subconscious: Turns? Yeah, we drift those. Make it extra spicy? Got it!
Cleetus: Let her cool off on the straight? Ok.
Muscle memory/subconscious: Straight away with no cops? That's called a drag strip. Floor it!!!
Killing it. The mixture of content is what brings you so many followers 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Such an awesome video. You are seriously killin it out there Cleetus.
1:00 "Don't go on the lines"
By 10:00 Cleetus has drifted across every line on the track, lol!
Good vid man!!!
Can’t wait to see Cleetus sign up with RTR for pro 2 formula drift within a couple years. MORE DRIFTING CONTENT PLEASE.
Drifting content sucks.
I really hope that’s what’s cooking here.
@@sam_s_ if you don’t like drifting content then why are you even watching this video. “Drifting” is in the title.
@@sam_s_ drifting content is super fun. Specially when it comes from someone that just goes straight all the time.
@@sam_s_ drifting is WAY more entertaining than watching people drive in a straight line. Lol, tf is wrong with you?
I'm not tired of the drift content!!! Keep it coming! Drag, Drift, Road Course....send it all!
Dude content is content! I'll never get tired of watching.. where ever the hell these videos go!
Cleetus: “I know you guys get tired of the drifting videos”
Also Cleetus: “Enjoy the next 2 drifting videos”
Drifting is the most fun you can have on the street/track with a car!!
J Bettis what about breaking records at the strip?
@@rockerneck still less fun
Yea stop doing them soooo much nobody cares.
Immediately a thumbs down every time. Life is about getting in where you fit in and you don’t fit in with this drifting. Sorry but truth hurts
“I’m warning you right now this is gonna get crazy, I have no idea what I’m doing”
give her the beans!!
Always love the drift content, absolutely no need to apologize for making it cleet!
I will never get tired of watching you drift, go FLAT Out down the drag strip or just testing random car stuff or funky weird setups. It is always super entertaining!
I don’t get tired of the drifting content, jeremy Clarkson made a career out of it.
Agreeed:]
Indeed. Tiff Needell was better at it on Top Gear (if anyone remembers).
Big facts. The Top Gear/Grand Tour guys are literally my favorite show presenters
“I run Donnie at about 350” 💀💀
I will never get tired of your drifting videos, I'm glad your loving it!
Dude, your drifting content is awesome! Keep it coming.
Who gets bored with drifting??? Jeez I love seeing cleet doing everything! Wether it’s drifting or drags. Keep it up man!
Exactly what I said when he said that! Drag racing is fun, but to imho its boring. Drifting is a whole 'nother level. And watching someone learn it, is down right awesome, especially with the teachers he surrounds him self with!
I see a FD car coming soon.
Rocket?
would be cool to see him and Adam having their own team together in FD in a couple of years
I would guess it would be a fairly new build not something he’s letting so many people thrash on. Plus I think it would be a GM if he goes it alone or a Mustang if he drives Pro2 for RTR.
@@arturbrum3157 doubt it, if anything he will be with Vaughn.
Guys he is no where near pro I understand we are fans but he wouldn’t even be able to compete in f2
I never get tired of the drifting content.
It's great to see all aspects of your journey and adventures.
Epic episode! Really fun to see this. COTA is more or less in my back yard. If I knew you were in town, would have spent a day there (as likely would thousands of others to see you live : )
Man, I don't care if it's drifting, hovercraft, lawn mowers, or mopeds....I'm here for Cleetus hijinks. lol
Could you imagine ol cleater lawn mower racing?
"Rocket and I have officially joined fd this year" -Cleetus 2021
I’m loving the drifting content personally! The diversity is what keeps the channel interesting man, keep it up!
I'll never get tired of the drifting videos. One of my favourite things is watching cleetus evolve as a driver
Cool to see Vaughn with his 69 mustang again
yeah its a NICE mustang
Agreed, that thing is still looking GOOOOOD!
Nice......
I’m just hoping to see it in the next video at the last as opposed to just the thumbnail
"Champagne covered fire suit"
hold my beer.
winner suits,.......:}
Thought I saw you on another channel climbing into a kart. Been waiting for a video, had no idea you’d be drifting the circuit of the America’s. That was badass! Definitely want to see the vid of the front bumper delete kit
All the content you put out is gold! Boats , welding , drifting and drag racing!
All you need is a fishing pole!
Hell yeah brother! 🤙🏽 🏴
