P.S. Guys, I'm sure you can tell by the videos that Vaughn is an awesome guy. But let me tell you, this guy is as real as it gets. Ever since Ford Fest him and I have talked quite a bit. He's super supportive, and always offers great advice. He's one of the first people that knew about the Freedom Factory project. I just want ya'll to know that on and off the camera he is the same dude who just loves to have a good time. Really glad we were able to connect with him and his team at Ford Fest!
I really hope that the Freedom Factory becomes one of the best things to ever happen to amateur motorsports. I am not saying we don't value the pro's. But That ability to shred and just have fun speaks volumes about what motorsports are really all about!
Here's an idea, "Freedom Factory Freestyle". A freestyle drift competition done kinda Monster Jam style. Competitors get an alotted amount of time to shred the track and showcase their skills, then get scored by a panel of judges. It would be an opportunity for you guys to build a drift car (which I think we'd all enjoy watching), and would be enjoyable for fans of all ages.
There are enough youtubers to fill the ranks. Lone Star Drift just did Drift Week. I am sure they could work something out to have that work so easily. Could make it an event for sure.
Wow, that’s actually one of the best ideas I have heard yet! So far on just this video alone people have said: Make the track to be FD certified to host a FD event, Do a top gear style fastest hot lap competition using 1 dedicated stock vehicle, hold a cleetus and cars burn out and longest drift competition, and a few more. The freestyle idea is is BY FAR the best most exciting idea I’ve heard!
This video is proof that they should keep the track layout as it is for drift competitions. Burnout pits are cool, but drifting is more entertaining. Leave the pretzel there, don’t destroy history.
@@SomeJustice19k On every FD event Nitto (and all the other brands) brings multiple rigs full of tires its crazy how many tires they go through every event.
Na he left it in because he's humble he's not going to not show his struggle cuz it makes it that much more satisfying when he links the track at the end.
Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing! He proved the best part of learning: try it, realize it ain't working and go to the master who imparts the wisdom... And you can tell Vaughn is truly willing to impart that wisdom... But at the same point, Cleetus is someone who is willing to admit they need guidance and a willingness to admit they need said guidance makes teaching that much easier... This was an awesome Video...
Yep, fullface helmet and hands in the car, Even his girlfriend gave vaughn attitude when he said hands in the car and visor down..Vaughn was trying to teach Cleetus a major lesson here about safety , this drifting Powerful cars is not some cow boy shit, take it seriously N those nice teeth can be knocked out from the steering wheel when you take your hand off the wheel to show boat, and bust your wrists.. for Cleetus to take big boss man Vaughns car up the bank full throttle twice, before ever trying it in the infield probably made Vaughns heart skip..because Vaughn and Denofa both knew the demo car is not that 700hp crown vic where you can just stomp on it and burn tires for 15 feet before initiating.
@@JaredBeaucage nah he said beat on it, they already smash into each other with it. plus as he said this is a demo car, its not expensive enough to be a problem if it gets wrecked. probably has loads less into a car that makes less then 500 compared to a car with factory crate engine and 300 shot of nitrous. would also guess the lower hp car wouldn't make someone worry about someone that normally drives a 800+hp car.
Yup, as much as I do love the carefree nature of these bois, I think it's about time in the program for them to step up safety. No sense in investing in the Freedom Factory if on of them, or someone they know dies there.
I remember when Cleeter didn’t even know much about working on his own cars yet and look at the man now and what he’s accomplished! His own damn race track!!! Nothing but respect
Amazing what you can afford when you kick your gold diggin girl to the curb. I save so much money now im single. No second car payment, no fancy clothes, hair, nails. I paid my own mortgage anyways. Get a girl that has her own money.
Buying this track was such a power move, the content quality has sky rocketed to such a high level with all these pros and other RUclipsrs coming over and sending it
Denofa and vaughn are absolutely savage behind the wheel, and watching how creative they got made me think the freedom factory would make a cool drift track in the future, you can make it a very technical track especially after coming in super hot off the bank. I love this place more and more every video I see on it
Hope they try a few diff types of motorsport there. Skids (burn out pad), spectator drags, endurance racing (LeMons), or drifting. Outright stock cars? I'm sure they have epic plans. What a ride.
William Cochrane I understand that, definitely not FD worthy at this point but would be a fun track for grassroots guys and stuff like drift week, would look awesome with tandems going on
Can we take a minute to appreciate how good of a driver Cleetus is? Time and time again we've seen this man just hop into a different vehicle or type of motorsport and just kill it after little practice and tips.
Dude you talk about impressing your girlfriend. She loved every second in that car with you good or bad! She was clapping and having a great time! You are one blessed and lucky man cleetus! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey cleet you will soon realize you've single handedly created a place diffrent from every other track and cant wait to see what comes of it in the future
I remember having my single turbo rx7 fd in highschool and my other stock fd and the single turbo one was stupid fast but now 8 years later shits got crazy
I love my boy Cleeter so much, what a real ass car RUclipsr. Wish I could meet him, shake his hand, and give him a hug. He does it for the love of cars and his fans.
Remember when the comments were freaking out cause they thought Cleeter was gonna go into paid content like roadkill? XD Then they announced this and put everyone back in their place, he really is the man
Was so unexpected too when he announced it. Everyone was excited. Including me! The fun people will have there. Home base for them and Cleetus n cars event. So many RUclipsrs we all know and watch can also create content here nd shred with the boys.
After seeing this, the pretzel design is perfect for drifting. I'd hate to see it get paved over now. I was all for the burnout pad, but I think now itll just make the track boring imo. Maybe the pad can be built elsewhere. Love the recent content on the ff.
Yeah the pretzel action has been awesome so far. Would be a shame to screw up the middle with a burnout pad. It would sorta ruin the historical significance also in a way.
@@tonyhagi44 That would be awesome, but I have the feeling that 632 might be a little heavy for the front of a drift car. I may be wrong, I'm not a drifter, but that thing is a heavy beast and might throw the handling out the window.

You have got to have the most fantastic community of everyone on RUclips. The support for everything you do is just instantaneous. I started following you around the time you bought Leroy. Now your vid is the first one I look for every day. Keep them coming. We love you Guys
Your girlfriend trying to cheer you on and be encouraging, even when you're on the struggle bus trying to drift a car, is just awesome. That's ring worthy.
TheAfterPein Dude.....quit simpin'. There is no reason for a wealthy male to EVER get married. I've been on this planet almost 50 years and not a one of my high school or college buddies recommends it. It's like what Bill Maher (I'm not a fan of his but he's right) says "Yeah, their wives don't like me coming around. I'm like the slave the escaped and I come telling stories of fun and FREEDOM!"
TheAfterPein I don't read Reddit. I grew up in a house full of women and I'm the youngest. I saw first hand how women compare and rate men. And I hate to tell you, she's not his GF, will never be his wife, it's just his turn.
Not only do I remember that, I made fun of him for it. I’ve never been so wrong about a person in my life. I don’t think I realized how young he was. I think he was like 20 then.
The world is full of positive, intelligent people. i like that "Cleets", in his own unique way, can introduce more of them to us. i honestly have more respect for FDrift because of this video.
They have always been very good about putting up good honest content and being just a normal everyday person instead of trying to take being the best at everything and perfect.
Yeah, my girlfriend gets a little nervous when I start driving any harder than mildly spirited out in the country, and will not, for even one second, tolerate any form of parking lot hoonery. She also gets carsick, so I can't even take long trips on good roads with her, has to be highway only. She likes riding motorcycles, though, so at least there's that. Not pillion, I mean she has her own bike.
I jumped an intersection with my then girlfriend! She started crying cause I scared her so bad! no more stunts with the ol lady!!!!!! she still married me though!
Jamie Golden I accidentally jumped a railroad crossing with an old girlfriend of mine, I was unfamiliar with the area and intended to hit them fun-hard, but didn't realize that not only was the approach to the tracks shaped like a bike ramp, but that the road fell away like 8 feet straight down after them. If I wasn't 6-8 feet in the air, I wasn't an inch. Got nothing but good things to say about the S10 ZR2 suspension, it soaked it right up, didn't break anything, and I didn't crash. She thought it was hilarious, shoulda kept her around, haha!
Surely we start a petition so cleetus can have a round of formula drift at the freedom factory since lz has been there too 😂 would be sick and give huge exposure
@Whuts Uhp but keep in mind cleetus literally makes the south light up with crowds, he is famous enough and already has enough successful events that ones he has the track properly maintained it will be hosting big events monthly and have small events to keep the lights on such as race days and other things
Ken block showing up would be awesome, but seems to big headed. I doubt he would show up to a little guys track. Vaughn is a real down to earth guy that fame hasnt blown up his head yet.
@ChambersofSiege There are different spellings for the same word based off of the location you live in. Tyre in this scenario is correct but is the British spelling of the word.
@ChambersofSiege You Americans are so funny. Wrongly correcting the origins of the very language you speak. Yes, you and I (Canadian) may spell it tire, but there is it tyre. Americans say color, we say colour. etc. The ignorance just doesn't get old.
cool to see vaughn ripping the track and cleetus being impressed. a few months later and cleetus is ripping it twice as hard. I think that Vaughn was a huge part in cleetus realizing how much cool shit his new race track could entertain (clutch kickers for example)
19:10 for those who want the money shot 14:45 love the lil Mona Lisa smile JHs got going 😏😏Meanwhile ol Cleet is trying to lean himself into sicker drifts. Also love that drifting in Neighbor sounds like a police chase
Patrick Scheidegger it’s just absolutely absurd how a RUclips car channel has their own fucking racetrack. I had only seen one other cleetus video prior to the FF reveal and since then I’ve been gripped. I watched a friggin video of them mowing the lawn and was riveted.
I didn't even know it was 30 minutes lon till you mentioned it and it felt like a 5 minute video lol. When I red your comment, I looked at the time and said, "shit it really was 30 minutes long🤣..when I see a cleet vid I just click on it and don't even bother looking a how long the vid is. Lol
I go to Formula Drift every single year in Wall NJ, I live right next to the racetrack and I am so happy to see these worlds crossing. Vaughn is a beast and I love watching him shred every year.
I'm ready to help you add some grass back in when you have the final plans laid brother! Nice grass too, the kind we can carve some freedom stripes into!!! 🤘
Well his last gf and him been broke up for a while now as far as I could tell so I’m guessin this is his new girlfriend but he keeps that part of his life out of his content which is smart but idk they could have been together a awhile
Hell yeah Vaughn Gittin Jr. made it out there. Good man getting the team out. Cleetus is a good guy doing what the car enthusiast needs right now. Thanks brother!
@@johncuervo3019 wel he was running to the shop for a bottle of nitrous offcourse. They said we could not hurt this motor, so he is setting up a bottle and a dyno.
I rememeber a while ago you guys were making C7 videos out of your garage at home, and now you're making videos with Vaughn at your own racetrack. My how the turns have tabled
I was laughing so hard when you started duffing it in front of your girl. And laughed even HARDER when you added your commentary. Definitely came back and showed that mustang who’s boss. Thanks for the laughs brother! Ps. Your slowly turning into a Ford guy weather you like it or not 😉🤣😂
The in car footage is awesome but is there anyway you could like split screen edit it so we could see outside the vehicle footage at the same time??? That would make for extremely awesome drift footage!!
Had to come back and watch this again! That grin on Madi's face when Cleetus finally 'got it' with the Mustang was priceless.😁 You oughta put a ring on that gal's hand.. she's definitely a keeper!💖😉
I know, right? We need more Neighbor T shirt's, Especially if he's actually gonna enter Neighbor into Formula D...It's gonna need a roll cage and a few other mods.
Man .. you have made the best investment a car dude can make .. ..Formula D .. semi annual events .. Circle track .. figure 8 smash ups .. . Tiniest tot runs .. what a blast to watch ..
I can't believe I'm watching these absolute legends slidin' sideways around my hometown track! I still remember "volunteering" to pick up trash around the stands after races as a high school kid. Thank you so much for bringing the Freedom!
You should wear a helmet every time you’re driving like that bro , one time something goes wrong or breaks and that’s not gonna go well with your head.
I don't think that Cleetus necessarily has jumped all four into the Ford pool, I just think that he appreciates high performance no matter what badge is on the front of the vehicle. Who knows, he may be doing a Dodge demon next month. Just sayin....
Bald Eagles, is Bald Eagles, don't matter the brand on the grill! Respect! Would love to see some RedEye mopars out there to show how the big three can all kick ass together in murica! #dodge pay attention to our boy Cleetus!
Vaughn is absolutely a class act, so Kool to see Him mentoring You and the quickness with which You paid attention and then just nailed it. Awesome vid man!
This is why I like the pretzel design it gives actual paths you have to follow, yes burnout pads are cool but I love how the track is already setup it fits everything and just seems like it should be like that
How to prove you are a good driver: 1. Ask for advice when you are just not getting it done. 2. Take that advice and rip. 3. Release the bald eagles all day long.
Y’all should redo the scene with the dale truck running from neighbor since you have the lights working and the new wrap. But this time actually give the dale truck hell like your really trying to loose him that would be epic!
make a pad extending out from the middle of the figure 8. use the same jersey barriers from the other events to make the perimeter and after the burnout competition you remove the barriers and you still have your figure 8. this way you can have both in the same place
Honestly, I love watching how Cleet loves the challenge of getting used to a completely opposite end of the spectrum drift car. Drifting a very loose, and forgiving car with 900 horses with torque to spare, it's very easy and very fun to learn how to keep the angle. As soon as you jump into a 500-600hp car that's tight and responsive, it's about how to enter the corner smoothly and almost planning when you need the power because it's not as instant as the GT500 Crown Vic. Totally different experience. I bet this was was fun either way!
The first time I saw a overhead shot of the track, I thought, MAN, what a drifters paradise that is.... Then you were talking about a burn out pad etc., etc., I thought, Oh Well, so much for that.... But NOW, Vaughn stops by..... THAT was some KILLER drifting improv there baby.... Great Video... Don't screw up this track Guys.....
P.S. Guys, I'm sure you can tell by the videos that Vaughn is an awesome guy. But let me tell you, this guy is as real as it gets. Ever since Ford Fest him and I have talked quite a bit.

TheAfterPein I don't read Reddit. I grew up in a house full of women and I'm the youngest. I saw first hand how women compare and rate men. And I hate to tell you, she's not his GF, will never be his wife, it's just his turn.
Remember when Ol'Ceet was putting whistle tips on his vet?... come a looong way lol
Hell yeah, brother! Amazing that it wasn't actually so long ago. That's what having intense focus will do for you.
Or when he procharged the leased ram
LMAO recently I have been rewatching all his old videos
Not only do I remember that, I made fun of him for it. I’ve never been so wrong about a person in my life. I don’t think I realized how young he was. I think he was like 20 then.
For real
I'm glad he said something about wearing a helmet.
I smiled so hard when he got the hang of the mustang
The world is full of positive, intelligent people. i like that "Cleets", in his own unique way, can introduce more of them to us. i honestly have more respect for FDrift because of this video.
See if you can find some FD Japan videos, really respectful and good community
I feel like the freedom factory's grand opening needs a military flyover during the national anthem.
That’s big bucks my man
Maybe just a few drones in formation.
Maybe he can talk to the guys at black rifle coffee. Haha
How about Red Bull? They got a whole fleet of airplanes.
Best idea yet
The coolest part of this whole video was him leaving the part of him figuring out how to drive the car. Most people would have cut that out
Tyler Wildman same thoughts
They have always been very good about putting up good honest content and being just a normal everyday person instead of trying to take being the best at everything and perfect.
Honestly the faith his girlfriend has in him is goals. Wicked
Anthony Biggs put my wife in the right seat of my Porsche a V. I. R. in 2016 !!!! She claps. On the ride !!!😎 ruclips.net/video/MjTywxR8jEI/видео.html
Yeah, my girlfriend gets a little nervous when I start driving any harder than mildly spirited out in the country, and will not, for even one second, tolerate any form of parking lot hoonery. She also gets carsick, so I can't even take long trips on good roads with her, has to be highway only. She likes riding motorcycles, though, so at least there's that. Not pillion, I mean she has her own bike.
This is definitely a new girlfriend right
I jumped an intersection with my then girlfriend! She started crying cause I scared her so bad! no more stunts with the ol lady!!!!!! she still married me though!
Jamie Golden I accidentally jumped a railroad crossing with an old girlfriend of mine, I was unfamiliar with the area and intended to hit them fun-hard, but didn't realize that not only was the approach to the tracks shaped like a bike ramp, but that the road fell away like 8 feet straight down after them. If I wasn't 6-8 feet in the air, I wasn't an inch. Got nothing but good things to say about the S10 ZR2 suspension, it soaked it right up, didn't break anything, and I didn't crash. She thought it was hilarious, shoulda kept her around, haha!
Surely we start a petition so cleetus can have a round of formula drift at the freedom factory since lz has been there too 😂 would be sick and give huge exposure
Vaughn is such a cool dude, I hope one day you can get Ken Block to come to the Freedom Factory, that AWD Mustang would rip so hard
@Whuts Uhp but keep in mind cleetus literally makes the south light up with crowds, he is famous enough and already has enough successful events that ones he has the track properly maintained it will be hosting big events monthly and have small events to keep the lights on such as race days and other things
@Whuts Uhp I beg to differ. I have never seen a series of California Man news stories.
Who in there right mind would want to go to cali!! They would tax him on freedom!!!
Ken block showing up would be awesome, but seems to big headed. I doubt he would show up to a little guys track. Vaughn is a real down to earth guy that fame hasnt blown up his head yet.
@Whuts Uhp yeah.... Daytona, Sebring, and Homestead beg to differ.
Vaughn: Needs some new tyres man - fully professional tyre fryer
Cleetus: Nah, she'll be right... hahahahhahaha
@ChambersofSiege There are different spellings for the same word based off of the location you live in. Tyre in this scenario is correct but is the British spelling of the word.
@ChambersofSiege You Americans are so funny. Wrongly correcting the origins of the very language you speak. Yes, you and I (Canadian) may spell it tire, but there is it tyre. Americans say color, we say colour. etc. The ignorance just doesn't get old.
@@MarshalBeard we didn't dump boatloads of your tea into the Boston harbor just to get disrespected like this! Lol
And, he was correct. They lasted
@ChambersofSiege tayer*
cool to see vaughn ripping the track and cleetus being impressed. a few months later and cleetus is ripping it twice as hard. I think that Vaughn was a huge part in cleetus realizing how much cool shit his new race track could entertain (clutch kickers for example)
Vaughn seems like the most down to earth famous person ever.
He is, friend of mine met him at Hyperfest in 2012. Dan Savage is also really chill.
Ever hear of j Cole lol
"MoistCr1tikal and pewdiepie literally exist but vaughn is really cool
Ken block too 😂
Famous because he’s good at something people like, rather than doing something to be famous.
Not gonna lie when cleetus said Vaughn was coming to the factory I was expecting one car and thats about it. He rolled in with force. Yee Yee.
MONSTER Approved. They just got a big bang for their buck at the Freedom Factory. Monster will want him to go back.
Full send, indeed!
"You're not going to hurt the motor"...have you ever seen this mans vids? Lmao
Have you ever seen a Vaughn Gittin video he revs for days man
Just don't let James drive it, we all know what happens to the motor.
@@elitescouter yeah it would suddenly have nitrous and a bunch of broken pats lol
19:10 for those who want the money shot
14:45 love the lil Mona Lisa smile JHs got going 😏😏Meanwhile ol Cleet is trying to lean himself into sicker drifts.
Also love that drifting in Neighbor sounds like a police chase
The other RUclips content that takes a back seat when I see this notification.
Truth
Same I stopped a ver interesting video couldn't resist..
Patrick Scheidegger it’s just absolutely absurd how a RUclips car channel has their own fucking racetrack. I had only seen one other cleetus video prior to the FF reveal and since then I’ve been gripped. I watched a friggin video of them mowing the lawn and was riveted.
@@ericduany2809 Welcome to the channel Eric! Cleeter and the gang always have 10/10 content so enjoy your time here!
TTLt106 you do know... he didn’t pay for the track by himself.. right?
I'm like there's no way I'm going to watch all 30 minutes of this video. Afterwards I'm like damn 30 minutes are up already.
same
I didn't know this video was 30 minutes long till I saw this comment and I'm almost at the end 🤣💀
I thought some reason it was 15mins long till I just read this comment after watching 😂
30 mins and I've watched it 3 times already. LOL!
I didn't even know it was 30 minutes lon till you mentioned it and it felt like a 5 minute video lol. When I red your comment, I looked at the time and said, "shit it really was 30 minutes long🤣..when I see a cleet vid I just click on it and don't even bother looking a how long the vid is. Lol
i love when vaughn said wear a helmet next time. he cares man. super cool dude
I go to Formula Drift every single year in Wall NJ, I live right next to the racetrack and I am so happy to see these worlds crossing. Vaughn is a beast and I love watching him shred every year.
I'm ready to help you add some grass back in when you have the final plans laid brother! Nice grass too, the kind we can carve some freedom stripes into!!! 🤘
The crossover I didn't know I needed
Great idea
THROW ER DOWN AL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to see this collaboration so bad!!
This needs to be a thing!
The fact your gf is just loving it clapping her hands not worried one bit that’s some trust right there brother 💯👍
Isn't that a new girl?
Well his last gf and him been broke up for a while now as far as I could tell so I’m guessin this is his new girlfriend but he keeps that part of his life out of his content which is smart but idk they could have been together a awhile
@@stevo7093 thank you for the update...this girl looks hotter anyways, good move! 😉

You ain’t gonna hurt the motor

“BEAT IT UP”.
That’s exactly what SHE said!!
That "wear a helmet next time" had some "I'm pissed because I'm worried" in it. Lots of love in that voice.
The track had set there abandoned for so long. The amount of life, love, and liberty that y'all have breathed into it is amazing!!!!
I rememeber a while ago you guys were making C7 videos out of your garage at home, and now you're making videos with Vaughn at your own racetrack.
My how the turns have tabled
They grow up so fast!!
How the turntables 😂
And the duck calls in the exhaust!
Michael Scott: how the turntables have...... 🤣😂
I was laughing so hard when you started duffing it in front of your girl. And laughed even HARDER when you added your commentary. Definitely came back and showed that mustang who’s boss. Thanks for the laughs brother!
Ps. Your slowly turning into a Ford guy weather you like it or not 😉🤣😂
"Hey you know the rules, you have to pick two weeds and make a pass on the lawnmower before you leave" that's perfect 😂😂
The in car footage is awesome but is there anyway you could like split screen edit it so we could see outside the vehicle footage at the same time??? That would make for extremely awesome drift footage!!
This is an Excellent idea
yes please!!!!
Vaughn's mustang really does sounds like a NASCAR engine..
because it basically is
Roush Yates builds them so, yeah, there's that...

Had to come back and watch this again! That grin on Madi's face when Cleetus finally 'got it' with the Mustang was priceless.😁 You oughta put a ring on that gal's hand.. she's definitely a keeper!💖😉
Foreshadowing…
This is the best Ford Ad I’ve ever seen. Definitely buying the 2020 Mustang
My thoughts too. The way these lectric jobs are popping up and little 4s everywhere, how soon will the beasts be extinct?
Who else was cheesing the whole time they were ripping? 😂
Joseph Archer permagrin!
30 minutes of fun right there
Didnt realise until my face starting hurting.
I know, right? We need more Neighbor T shirt's, Especially if he's actually gonna enter Neighbor into Formula D...It's gonna need a roll cage and a few other mods.
Like how Cleetus got dadded " good job... next time wear a helmet"
“Yea that was good, what does that temp gauge say bud?” 😂😂
Gets 1 lesson from drift champs.
Turns into a drifting monster!!
That smile.... priceless!!
You should look into getting a infinity symbol sticker and give to ppl who can drift the entire figure eight of the track in one rip.
Badge of skill and honor. Sounds good.
I second this
Not a sticker, a badge made out of plastic or metal that could stick to the side of a vehicle. A true badge of honor.
A Freedom Factory Figure Eight sounds sick as fuck
josh what about those that can do both figure eights in one rip?
21:10 "You got this" She's a Keeper!
Man .. you have made the best investment a car dude can make .. ..Formula D .. semi annual events .. Circle track .. figure 8 smash ups .. . Tiniest tot runs .. what a blast to watch ..
Vaughn: You need to change tires. You're not going to make it.
Cleetus: Here, hold my Bartle-Skeet! :-)
That's a bet that Vaughn would have lost.
He did good but wasnt in the banks like how he said
Vaughn needs to get a ride in a full Leroy rip with reaction cam
i dont think they can. only one funny car hoop, would be restricted to an 8.50 or maybe higher
I don’t think his insurance will let him to be honest
You have created the most versatile content creating venue on such a huge scale youtube can't keep up! Great foresight on your part, well done!
I can't believe I'm watching these absolute legends slidin' sideways around my hometown track! I still remember "volunteering" to pick up trash around the stands after races as a high school kid. Thank you so much for bringing the Freedom!
You should wear a helmet every time you’re driving like that bro , one time something goes wrong or breaks and that’s not gonna go well with your head.
The pros wear helmets. Accidents happen.
@@rickjason215 the main reason pros wear helmets is because your head is near the roll cage.
Brain buckets are a must man
Probably just forgot in the heat of the moment
Helmets are critical
Never in my life did I expect Cleetus to be grinning his face off driving a GT500. Now he's drifting a RTR Mustang. What is happening? I love it
Tyler Toler he is slowly becoming a ford guy
Tyler Toler and he owns more fords than gm now... staunch gm guy is jumping the fence.
I don't think that Cleetus necessarily has jumped all four into the Ford pool, I just think that he appreciates high performance no matter what badge is on the front of
the vehicle. Who knows, he may be doing a Dodge demon next month. Just sayin....
@@allanpolk2681 Oh no, I wasn't saying that at all. I'm just crazy suprised to see him so engulfed in Ford products in general.
Bald Eagles, is Bald Eagles, don't matter the brand on the grill! Respect! Would love to see some RedEye mopars out there to show how the big three can all kick ass together in murica! #dodge pay attention to our boy Cleetus!
Vaughn is absolutely a class act, so Kool to see Him mentoring You and the quickness with which You paid attention and then just nailed it. Awesome vid man!
"Maybe you can drive if you're feelin spicy"
bruh Cleetus is the whole jalapeno
Habanero flavoured Bardle skeet
@@matthewkerrie7299 That actually sounds good..
This is why I like the pretzel design it gives actual paths you have to follow, yes burnout pads are cool but I love how the track is already setup it fits everything and just seems like it should be like that
How to prove you are a good driver:
1. Ask for advice when you are just not getting it done.
2. Take that advice and rip.
3. Release the bald eagles all day long.
Y’all should redo the scene with the dale truck running from neighbor since you have the lights working and the new wrap. But this time actually give the dale truck hell like your really trying to loose him that would be epic!
Astounded454 yeahh
and with the cleaned up track. paint the track and redo
For sure
Needs a Love button because I can't hit the Like button enough at this video. Watching Vaughn tearing it up at the FF is cool as hell.
Keep the figure 8 and pour a pad outside of the track for the burnouts so that people are still able to do amazing stuff like this
make a pad extending out from the middle of the figure 8. use the same jersey barriers from the other events to make the perimeter and after the burnout competition you remove the barriers and you still have your figure 8. this way you can have both in the same place
Both valid points, but yeah Cleetus definitely needs to keep the figure 8 and figure something out other than just filling it with asphalt
JH in the passenger seat lookin like he just going on a casual drive with the misses 😂😂😂
Seeing those mustangs rip around the track brings a smile to my face
Nice Volvo
Me too
@@DegeN.YNation I miss my '83 moderately modified (Hawaii, but not California Legal hehe) 5.0 =)
A Miata thank you, currently pushing 317 horsepower from a 5 cylinder to all 4 wheels, very fun car. Nice Miata
Hell yea. Makes me sad they plan to cement that entire middle into a skid pan. This is way better what they're doing today.
Honestly, I love watching how Cleet loves the challenge of getting used to a completely opposite end of the spectrum drift car.
Drifting a very loose, and forgiving car with 900 horses with torque to spare, it's very easy and very fun to learn how to keep the angle.
As soon as you jump into a 500-600hp car that's tight and responsive, it's about how to enter the corner smoothly and almost planning when you need the power because it's not as instant as the GT500 Crown Vic. Totally different experience. I bet this was was fun either way!
Dad: Wear a helmet next time.
Son: Yes Dad
qfc1313 constantly! Even been grounded for not wearing one
Can we all take a moment to appreciate where Cleetus’s drifting has come from where it once was not many years ago. God damn this boy can slide!
Chump: Hey babe, I own a Ferrari.
Cletus: Hey babe, I own a race track.
This!!!!
Rather have a racetrack then a ferrari to begin with. Unlimited Fun
I would have loved to see a Ferrari out there with them Fords. Ferrari dude would have left with his tail beneath his legs
Cletus for the win!

Colorized
The first time I saw a overhead shot of the track, I thought, MAN, what a drifters paradise that is.... Then you were talking about a burn out pad etc., etc., I thought, Oh Well, so much for that.... But NOW, Vaughn stops by..... THAT was some KILLER drifting improv there baby.... Great Video... Don't screw up this track Guys.....
You can still have the figure 8 if it's all paved just paint it in...
I feel like this is the evolutionary path that the Burn out competition needs to take. Sure donuts are cool but this tracks destiny was to drift
He should be a school bus driver.
