Here's what I like about this channel. After winning the finals, he's saying "We" this and "We" that. And then says he can't wait to see James and Coop. That's a team right there. Excellent attitude and channel!
A win is a win! Congratulations. The sevens will come. Just need a little time to dial it in and the right track and conditions. Its great to see coop and James out helping and everyone working together to get things done. Its a family thing for sure. F.P, PFI, BB, And Cleetus and the guys always put on a Great show and will always be family & friends . Thanks for letting us ride along. This is exactly what we needed the most thru the last year or so of upheaval. Much appreciated more than you know Do it for dale!!!
@@whidden1998 yeah l feel ya, l was unsure at first but he really grew on me and works super hard at what he does. James, Cooper, Jeremy and the rest of the gang just make a well rounded, entertaining channel.
@@leemorice7867 no he doesn't Cooper's job is marketing and alot of behind the scenes and James is a mechanic kinda obvious why it seems that way but I promise you if he was unhappy Cleetus would fix it yesterday
That's actually how you don't die... letting off too fast or braking can drastically change the physics causing body roll and other unexpected nasty things... 🍻
@@Cekmore exactly, couldn't agree more bro. You see may guys wreck just because of doing just those things. There's a difference between a drag radial and slick also when you get off the throttle. The slick moves around a lot more because of the side wall. I've always loved small tire racing. Never ran anything bigger then 10.5 tire and been 1.09 to the 60ft. The balance between blowing the tires and sticking the tire is razor thin to make a quick efficient pass. At any moment it can go up in smoke and I mean that literally to lol..
@@Cekmore exactly.. if the suspension unloads fully from brakes while going sideways like that he'd be straight into wall no chance to recover... He knows how to drive notice how the in car is calm while it's happening and he even airs the Bump at half track a few times lol .. He's a driver for sure
Many other cars at his level have the same problems. It's not easy running 7s consistently on these setups. Big tire chassis car it's a walk in the park.
@DDAA most of the stick shift classes require stock type suspension. It's not Leroy anymore either that that point. Big tire doesn't fix everything either. Unless you been on a big tire. People don't understand how sketchy they get when you get off the throttle also. Car moves around much more. Even on a small slick you feel it over a drag radial because of the sidewall. It's much worse with a big slick. Not sure if he has or what type of anti roll bar he runs. A good bar with the right adjustments could help some possibly. When it comes down to it. Going this fast and faster and being on the edge like this is what makes small tire racing so much fun. He should try a set of good drag radials. May help believe it or not.
@@waynebollentin989 a sticky radial might help on the big end but on hit it might be too much and break stuff like the torque tube or input shaft but the quest to go fast is not cheap
I love how James' eyes get huge when he takes off. "A woman and a race car are a lot alike. You put all your time, heart, and soul into it. You love it, but if you ain't a little bit afraid of it, it's not the one."
dzefy high hp nitrous cars are better in 1/8 than 1/4 because they are on the bottle for a couple less seconds so a smaller chance to burn up the motor on every pass.... still they are really hard on parts.
Cleetus, you are a great guy, love how you thank James and Coop. It shows you have a great personality and this is why I love your channel. Greetings from the Dutch/German border!
Congrats to the win Cleetus. Still blown away by those shifts. James, you're a pro, both in your skill and demeanor. Amazing all round. Guys, scope the crank and cam sensors on Leroy. Check for crank end play too. Twist and shield the signal wires. Hall effect sensors are very high impedance and will pick up interference from everything, including those long coil wires.
@@jhernandez2199 Seeing it's a dog box the clutch would probably only be used for the launch then it'll be clutch-less shifted and maybe a throttle lift but I'm pretty sure Cleet has a no lift shift setup too
I gotta say it was super smart building a stick shift car. Purely from a marketing standpoint it is a great way to spend similar money to somebody building an auto car but guaranteeing yourself you’ll be a stand out along the way. You’ve got an excellent head on your shoulders Garrett. Keep up the good work. P.S. We love you without the jet car. With all of the success you have been able to achieve without the extreme danger that comes with jet cars. IMO, I say sell it and tell the people you’re sorry it just wasn’t worth the risk. You’re an amazing young man with a super bright future.
Yea it just looks dangerous. Look at how long top fuel dragsters are and those other jet cars and then look at an el camino. mullet got extended like 2 feet?
Cleetus 2017 “we never intended to build the fastest car. I’m a guy that just wants to have fun”. Quit pressing Cleetus to get into the 7’s every time. This car was never even supposed to be a race car. Leroy just happens to be a mean bald eagle machine.
Cleet! We want a head ups with you and James to the 1/8 mile! Would be a hell of a race!! Keep bogging hard for Dale and Ed!! Hell yeah brother!!! 🇺🇸 💪
@@ryanbernard6550 you must have a comprehension problem. He said Leroy proved who should have the record which he didn't. You need to beat the record. Not just beat the car in a race that had it. That's idiotic to say otherwise. As far as James goes. If your talking about what James ran himself you would be correct. If your talking about guys in his class your wrong. Leroy isn't getting the power down soon enough yet for really good 1/8 times. Mph is this good though.
The only time it broke up on that 8.08 pass was the top of 3rd. Then he slammed it to 4 and squashed the pedal home...with 1500 Bald Eagles and not much down force, spin in 4th at the end of a sketchy track when your pushing it is a fine line. That's why i Like Cleetus... he always pushes it.
Dang man... Drivin the crap outta that ol boy! Love seeing leeroy rip... Y'all have the best content... Best part of my day is coming home to find a notification from Cleetus' RUclips!

Congrats! This was a big moment for yourself and me as a viewer. I started watching your channel when you got Leroy as a project, and have been stuck ever since. Awesome to see this happen!
The 240 is a carb motor. He'd have to convert to efi and go with a new nitrous system. Just not worth the possible gains for cost. Now a blower with the same nitrous system and carb is possible and badass
@hunter childers Nitrous doesn't suck, his setup does. He doesn't have the budget CM does, so he's basically just doing what he can to get ahead. The diff in his car isn't great, and the rest of his running gear are basically just pick and purchase whenever he could afford to do so. His engine isn't designed to withstand a great deal of Nos, so he doesn't put that much through it. The other thing is, even if he went turbo or supercharger, he would still be facing the same issues. More power doesn't make things easier on what's essentially a horrible driveline. Edit: If he blew a head gasket on a low shot of nitrous, I can bet he would lift a head with the amount of pressure a turbo/supercharger would push through.
Jordan he’s said in the past he sprays like a 400 shot of nitrous. He knows what he’s doing. Just a lot of up keep to make a nitrous car fast and consistent.
@@Nitedontdie you are wrong he has perfect heads a built bottom end sprays up to 400+ hp in nitrous and usually at worst has gasket issues or needs new plugs he races here all the time .. unless he puts a hot tune in it for a number hes chasing or a race it's been good since the engine got better parts his rear end is perfectly fine for what he's doing I've seen it 5.0 in the 1/8 which is Leroy fast for 1/10 the cost .. Leroy's intake costs more than the 240s whole engine and he's between 5.0-5.3 Everytime I've seen him lately.. he'd benefit from a turbo way more with some changes.. Ruby goes 8.7s with a worse engine FYI and turbo and below 1000 hp doesn't lift the head did all of raceweek you just don't know your stuff man
It's drag racing eliminations, people are trying to win. James deep staged against the guy he was racing probably to try and throw him off. Cleetus was the fastest stick car all weekend Jared is just trying to get any advantage he can. The second car has 7 seconds to stage after the first car stages, perfectly legal.
@@MrLefizal One thou would be .001, 300 of those will indeed be .300 I think .0003 would be said as 3 tenths of a thou, but that is smaller than I would ever get into measuring so I could be wrong.

I'm on PC now, and at least for Leroy's first run, when the view is from Cleetus' helmet cam, the subtitles said [music]. Pretty funny, the algorithm must think its metal. I can dig it.
I love watching the videos when you guys go out to the different race events because I feel like I'm along for the journey too...much love and success in the future!!
Congrats Cleetus! I'll be wearing my McFarland fab shirt for the review for the Vet student final Friday and headed to ATL Dragway Friday to test and tune prep for Street Car Takeover!
Hell yeah brothers Great effort, great win for the team. Big shout out for Leroy, what a beast. Ya better pamper that car, get him back into the 7's, everyone will be gunning for ya now. Fun to watch, keep up the good content y'all.
Didnt a vendor send them an entire kit with like a spool of plug wire for each car with the names of the cars printed on it. plus the ends and everything to make a set?
I wanted soooo bad to skip to the end to see the outcome and then go back and watch it all. I think I was more nervous than James without his tool box. Way to go guys!!!
Full send + never lift = skatin down the track hell yea 🤙🏻👊🏻 that’s how you drive right there ....edit: hard work pays off congrats full send for the WIN
@@sireuchre yes if it stops sending information to the ecu it doesn't know where the crank is in revolution and fuel and ignition timing will be not ideal. The ecu is constantly changing shit and relies heavily on simple magnetic sensors that fail with heat and oil exposure. Edit : also vibration kills them too. If it's not spark and you have compression it would be fuel issues likely a fuel injector shit the bed.
i think the screen maxes at 8k and Leroy is so beastly he goes over 8k ( dbz lore in Japanese " its over 8000" is said but in the English dub he says "its over 9000" )
I seen it. That's why I'm saying even the slightest bit will make a huge difference. Like a rear diffuser and just some kind of nose cone maybe some lexan on the roof and oh boy would the times start to drop even more.

You think it could be a grounding issue since you moved the coil packs?
This was my guess as well.
I was thinking the same thing, moved the packs and it is breaking up where it is. Maybe frame vibration is causing a micro disconnection.
We need to all like this so Cleetus sees this comment
I think this is absolutely worth double checking!

James: Yeah it's my head gasket
*Texas Speed car creeps by*
The way he controls the car while still going full throttle while its sliding everywhere is incredible. it just amazes me.
Go watch some road races in person and your mind will really be blown.
He definitely makes it look easy.
Cleetus: Because something does blow in this video!
240 in the background: Hehe I'm in danger!
"Shout out to James wherever he's at" He's gone to steal that display Texas Speed head gasket and head lol

BOG DEEP, LET ER EAT, DO IT FOR CLEET , AND DON'T FORGET YOUR BARTTLE SKEET!!!! AND ALWAYS DO IT FOR DALE #3
Congratulations Cleetus, James and Cooper! You didn't give up, and hopefully this will give y'all enough confidence to get back into the 7's! Bog deep!
That mullet is starting to look like a bunny tail.... Hahaha
Business in the front.... Party in the back..
Is it only my phone that the subtitles say "music" when Leroy is running... lol
I'm on PC now, and at least for Leroy's first run, when the view is from Cleetus' helmet cam, the subtitles said [music]. Pretty funny, the algorithm must think its metal. I can dig it.
@@stevop80_45 does it really? Lmao
@@losttiming5873 Indeed it does.
Mine says applause sometimes and music others. The subtitles sure aren’t wrong though lol
pol-wop lol nope, I got one of them smart phones. It know it’s music to put ears.
Maybe a crank sensor at that vibration on top end just a thought.
Leroy needs suspension help.. Someone who really knows how to set it uip.
And just a tad of aero to help with top end stability
Even a sheet of plywood on a 30 degree angle bolted to the front would help.
@@Zack-np2ko very true
@@Zack-np2ko He might just need a body for it.
Just needs a phat spoiler
Am I the only one that cranks the volume when they do a run?
Revving up on the limiter then taking off...sound heaven.
I love watching the videos when you guys go out to the different race events because I feel like I'm along for the journey too...much love and success in the future!!
When the mullet shows up, everyone else is competing for silver.
That mullet taking forever just to show Alittle
can’t wait to see that things first pass
🤣😂🤣😂
Cleetus “never lift” McFarland. Jesus. That first pass was a little sketch
A 4 cylinder 4g63 went 7.0 last couple weeks where you at Leroy?
Can steer.
@@ChipsNeeson boostin performance dsm can steer too awd with slicks on all corners
Gawdamn that 3rd gen is clean as hell
Congrats Cleetus! I'll be wearing my McFarland fab shirt for the review for the Vet student final Friday and headed to ATL Dragway Friday to test and tune prep for Street Car Takeover!
Hell yeah brothers
Great effort, great win for the team.
Big shout out for Leroy, what a beast. Ya better pamper that car, get him back into the 7's, everyone will be gunning for ya now.
Fun to watch, keep up the good content y'all.
You didn't bring backup plug wires? That would be like top 5 extras to bring bro 👍
Like the only backup thing other than bardle skeet
That's what I was thinking. I thought it was standard practice to bring an extra 5 sets of plugs and wires. It's not like they take up a lot of room.
This is Cleetus we're talking about... We're lucky the car had gas.
Yeah, especially with their long history with plug wires. Hey, just proving they are human. That’s part of racing.
Didnt a vendor send them an entire kit with like a spool of plug wire for each car with the names of the cars printed on it. plus the ends and everything to make a set?
I knew just by reading the title that james blew his shit up.. congrats cleet and leroy!
His mullet grew a few centimeters during that last rip #murica
12:54 Legend has it that James is still waiting for a pound it..
I was literally thinking the EXACT same line lolololol
EGAJohn Great mind think alike 😭
I wanted soooo bad to skip to the end to see the outcome and then go back and watch it all. I think I was more nervous than James without his tool box. Way to go guys!!!
Did someone fart @ 0:49? The dude in the neon yellow shirt behind cleetus got wind of it. Lmfao.
Lmal good catch
Nah, he's just feasting on a shirt sandwich
His dads a Cleeter fan and He’s probably suppose to be in school and not at LS fest with the umbrella girls
hahaha... looked like it made his eyes water, he started wiping them hahah, maybe someone come buy with some full on Nitro Methane hehehe
Go or blow
Y’all quit fartin around and get that thing back to the 7s on a regular!! 💪🏼
That first pass was nasty, and you NO lift shawty down threw there!!!👍🏾👌🏾
Congrats brother, I’m glad to be a fan to someone so inspirational. Cleetus and his crew are the best in the RUclips game
James got that new water cooled exhaust. That way he don't need to keep an eye on the exhaust temps.
Just like on boat headers.
Full send + never lift = skatin down the track hell yea 🤙🏻👊🏻 that’s how you drive right there ....edit: hard work pays off congrats full send for the WIN
I'd shit myself
Leroy looked like it blew head gasket on the last rip great job
Well done, made my day watching this!
Congrats team Mcfarland on a hard earned win!
Damn it Leroy!!! I refused to read any spoiler alerts. The suspense was awesome.
James always has such great wisdom after a pass.
#19:30 I am crying I got to high five old cleeeeder 😭😭😭😭😭
Gonna need a new monitor after that one!
James rocking the LS Nasty shirt!!
Under World seccond John doc fan HAHA same here
Crank trigger? Looks like RPM reading on dash is breaking up when it starts missing. Does it look stable on logs?
Good observation
and the speedo looked way off
But would the crank trigger have some way of dropping just one cylinder, and consistently so? I was also wondering if the 2 step could mis-trigger.
@@sireuchre yes if it stops sending information to the ecu it doesn't know where the crank is in revolution and fuel and ignition timing will be not ideal. The ecu is constantly changing shit and relies heavily on simple magnetic sensors that fail with heat and oil exposure.
Edit : also vibration kills them too. If it's not spark and you have compression it would be fuel issues likely a fuel injector shit the bed.
i think the screen maxes at 8k and Leroy is so beastly he goes over 8k ( dbz lore in Japanese " its over 8000" is said but in the English dub he says "its over 9000" )
Congratulations boys!!!!!!! You came, bogged, and conquered. Y'all deserve it, fantastic job!!!
Congrats on a great 3 days! Out there ripping the track up! Glad we could be there...thanks!
James rocking that ls nasty shirt shout out John Doc🤣
Cameron Summers AYEEE I FOUND A JOHN DOC FAN!
Finishes first run of the day.
*adjusts rear view mirror*
Leroy needs an aero package. Make a homemade wind tunnel to test it. Come on, you know you want to.
YA & A WALL WAS MORE AERO.
I seen it. That's why I'm saying even the slightest bit will make a huge difference. Like a rear diffuser and just some kind of nose cone maybe some lexan on the roof and oh boy would the times start to drop even more.
I agree speedracer, TOTALLY & IT'S CHEAP BOLT ON STUFF compared to everything else. At the least do as you said NOSE & ROOF, then go from there ?
James left his car at the end of the track.... legend!
I high 5ed my monitor with you after the finals, great job! The fastest car doesn't always win and low numbers dont win races, great win guys!
Dang I knocked my computer over at 19:28 I saw the High 5 and I took it... dang son I'm pumped right now
You too
3rd gear needs more RPM ;) Don't forget to empty all the water out for 7's :D
Yeet!🍻
If say ya really need to look into the suspension... lots of time lost there🐈🔥🔥🔥
Never doubt the power of the Leroy. Congratulations on the win.
CONGRATS!! I knew as soon as shifted into third that you had it! Nothing but Leroys tail lights left for that 3rd gen to gaze at!
