Tune into the live feed now to see Ruby and Tye's Ranger in action! - frdmplus.com/
i like alex is in the trailer hehe
Good luck fellas!
Hey Cleetus are you guys going to be at the Scag Power Equipment Pro Superstar Shootout or doing anything at the Freedom Factory that weekend
Congratulations to the 8.50 on ruby
Swapped the ''Street Nose'' back on Mullet. The team is killing it.
I know Garrett is obsessed with no hoods, but Ruby looks SO good with a hood
Right I love the custom cutouts especially Ruby's!
actually it's the other way around. he just does the whole no hood thing for the channel as a joke from the early days of leroy and people yelling about putting a hood on ruby. he let that slip years ago during a live stream. ;)
@@sirmonkey1985yup he does it for us cleet is best honestly 😂
I love the twin slashed pipes out the top too
Agreed
Ruby took that threat of going back in the barn to heart lol
She did lol
She said "no. The fk I am not!"
Ruby: I can do this all day!
8.50°
Those brakes were red hot! Glad you got it shut down.
Tbm brakes ftw
Speed bump garage? Hey Kent I’m subbed to your channel and Cleetus’s
@@Brodawgs7OnTT131 💪🏻thanks!
@@SpeedBumpGarage no problem love your videos
I've always enjoyed how you handle short comings and issues that normally would piss someone off. The temperament you show is one of the reasons I subscribe. We all have our bad days, it's how we deal with it that matters. Thanks to the whole crew.
He could have roasted the seller, instead took the high road. He makes good editorial decisions, they can roast trans dude around the camp fire off camera and keep the content focus where it belongs. Tip of the hat to Garret and team
Never seen Cleet make the wrong decision and Ive been watching for years. Dude is as real as it gets, deserves all the success
From what I've seen, dude was gonna let him borrow it, so he said on 1320 instead of explode the loaner transmission, he is just gonna give it back to the guy as a "thanks anyways, but my car will finish off that trans" I think transmission guy thought cleet could get through the week on it and didn't realize, in cleetus' words, "Mullet will destroy any part that isn't PERFECT"
That’s everyone at a drag strip bud
A bad day at the strip is actually a good day for content.
9:44 George adjusting his glasses to make sure he’s seeing what he thinks he just saw is pure gold
That whole thing might be the greatest moment in rubys career
Him and Jackstand used to butt heads, now they best buds 🎉
@@maccoretti51 they used to not like each other?
@@brianwymer7812 no they just did it for the camera, they goofed around with eachother during the boat challenge and stuff
Hey 4 eyes!! 🥸
I love how hype George was when Ruby went 8.50.0. Love that guy so glad he is on the channel
CLEETUS ⚠⚠⚠Idk if this is possible but pull out the weapon!! ENTER LEROY!!! ⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠Get him to see this⚠⚠⚠
@user-rv5jr1vm1q you cant just put a car in, in the middle of the event
I would love this, but you cant just enter a car in the middle of the event. And Leroy is not setup for street driving. there is no water in the block, no alternator and so on.
I dislike george and find him off putting and annoying, they really need to find a more professional camera person...
@@iamunknowablesince when has this channel focused on strictly being professional for the RUclips channel? They take the right stuff serious, having a hype camera man keeps the energy up. You're literally the ONLY complaint about George I've ever seen. You're basically alone, it seems. Sorry not sorry, we absolutely love George.
Cleet never looked frazzled at all during incident. Dialed fully in complete control one hand on the wheel as he headed toward the sand. He was calm and scrubbed as much speed as he could. Man is insane under pressure, glad he’s ok and it went was well as it could’ve given the circumstances.
Chute*
Given everything he has done all the skills he's acquired, this is probably like second nature to him knowing how to keep a cool head
Ear to ear smiles when Ruby ran that run. Felt like I was celebrating with y’all. Wow.
Dang, sorry about mullet. That all nighter transmission swap had the makings of another great story.
226mph on a spin/wheelie is a good indicator of the power that transmission is dealing with... Super impressive. Glad you/mullet survived that rocket ship landing Cleeter
226mph in 1/4 mile is insane anyway, let alone the spin/wheelie. That was a 6.5 run at least. Super pumped mullet and cleeter are okay tho
Time to hook a manual up to mullet. Maybe a 4 speed. It will hold up so much better.
@@It5M3Again yeah something like what Leroy has
@@It5M3Again A manual trans in such a heavy car with that power wouldn't hold up even a single run down the strip.
Put the Lenco in it
Seeing jackstand that fired up is f***ing amazing, love you guys! I’m literally grinning from ear to ear seeing him that fired up
Right? Whenever the guys are freaking out at a slip he just wants to see the numbers. It's so cool to see him just lose it. And it's well deserved.
Couldn’t agree more glad to be the 100th like
The fact that Steve just handed over all those parts to help Cleet if anything were to happen. That’s so cool man. That just shows you how good Steve is to his friends and customers.
His car caught fire I think so he had no use for the parts at all, so I don't think him handing over all his spares would be a normal thing.
However you can see that Cleetus was still going to get parts so yes he does definitely look after his customers
@@mitchhifi9192if I'm not mistaken it's not the first time Steve has just handed em parts during a drag n drive. If I recall correctly he's bailed them out with some spares he had for himself I think at least twice.
@goosenotmaverick1156 yeah I mean Steve seems a cool guy, but from a business sense too you have to remember cleet is a massive advertisement for Steve Morris Engines, Cleet doing well is good publicity for his company and therefore it makes sense for him to want to keep cleet going as much as possible
@@MrJaiimez oh by all means I agree it's a good thing to do as far as business interest and advertising goes, stuff like that. But that doesn't mean all folks make good choices like that either, ya know?
For the money cleet’s spent w him, a box worth 10 grand ain’t shit lol
Damn. That freakin sucks man. I'm sorry mullet had to go out like that. And what a pro at bringing that Bullitt to a stop with no damage Garrett I'm impressed.
Ruby you beauty great run!
9:30 bro, no one can work the camera as good as George, idc what anyone says, George is the MAN. The glasses lift/squint was A+, never seen George a single time IRL but I love the guy lol, never change George, never change!
We gotta get him back in Rocky! Those were some great in car reactions, let’s goooo!
Everyone could hope to have a friend like george
He’s a bro, down for anything.
George is such a valuable addition to the channel.
I wish they'd either fire him or take.hos right to speak away.
James takes a trophy one day, and runs a perfect ET the next. The team is strong.
Watch the in car. He doesn't blink the entire 1320.
8.50.00 ? Jack stand is THE DUDE ! 🎉😂
That man said 8.50 with a zerooo 🤣🤣🤣💪
Is that Camaro James car? Or whose car?
@@DohcJames his i believe
0:54 “imma let you take this whole case” Steve is cool asf he looked through it and said i dont need any of this rn and gave him a couple thousand in parts for free
Wow... that chute not deploying proved your level of awareness/driving skill. I've NEVER seen anyone threshold brake like that before. That was crazy to see. It doesn't cross 99% of people's minds in real life and death scenarios but once again, that was awesome!
100% agree. It's so easy to panic and everything happens so fast! He didn't waste a single millisecond. Like for real dude. It all counted and he used every bit of it. Damn.
Jackstand is the calmest person ever down the track!
Just another day on the job.
Kills it every time. And when he doesn't, his feedback to the tuner is on point.
From the first bump until he checks the mirrors at the end of the run he doesn't blink once.
I can hear his soothing voice

Legit gear head.
You know someone is playing some proper silly games if Jackstand is fired up at em

You're killing it bro. One transmission at a time....
But seriously this channel brings so much happiness to my life you wouldn't believe it! thank you Cleetus and all the rest. Sam is having the time of his life!!
I love how Steve was picking out a handful of parts to give Cletus and thinks about it and has him take the case, like he thought to himself that he wasn’t running his smx so might as well
Shout out to Steve Morris always taking care of cleeter with the excellent customer service
Be honest, cleeter is his biggest advertisement going.
Facts!!!
@@thedude7726and? He an amazing dude and a great engine builder. He has more accomplishments and actual experience than 99% of the comments here including you and I. Jealousy breeds hate from ignorant humans mate.
Better provide good customer service with the price of that engine
Unfortunately it wasn't spare engine parts that he ended up needing.
Steve, "I'm going to let you take the whole case", Cleetus " ooohhhh".
Probably 10k in parts in that small box.
I bet more

Ive never seen Jackstand so fired up, lolol. I love Ruby, especially with Jackstand driving.
Whoa, Mr Cleetus was moving fast 😮 Shows how good the TBM brakes are, also brilliant car control when under pressure 👏👏. what a team, what a Family to have 😃👍
You know George got excited about Ruby's run when he turned the camera around and talked to it, he doesn't do that to often!.
That again proves your skill to drive. Going over 220mph and remaining so calm and not locking the brakes completely, small movements on steering... glad that every one and everything is ok! Keep it up guys!
He locked them up multiple times, you can clearly see it in the video. Not knocking his skill, but it amazes me how people will lie to themselves to praise others. If he didn't have those garbage little brakes he might not have been in the sand trap, but why are you making shit up?
@@TheHannukahZombie garbage little brakes? He stopped from 220 mph.
Yeah saw it on live stream seen the smoke from the wheels
@@TheHannukahZombie well haahaa. I said the he did not lock them up completely. I'd like to see anyone brake without locking any in that situation 🤣 maybe sit down, have a glass of milk and cool off.
garbage little brakes? those brakes saved a 3500 pound machine from eating shit at 220mph, also you realize tbm is basically the best brakes you can buy for this type of stuff right? I'm sure cleetus wouldn't cheap out on the brakes knowing he's going to go 200+mph and have a chance of only having brakes cause chutes love to not work. don't talk you have no idea what ur talking about@@TheHannukahZombie
The face Jackstand made when you said " Yeah with my tune" at the end of the video was priceless lol
Only cleet would add some drifting"""" at the end of a 1/4 mile run. Glad you are SAFE brother! You paid dues along time ago. Im glad to see the shop guys having fun. Ty with the ranger and jack stand with George in ruby! I love it you guys have created a TIGHT crew.
Honestly loved seeing Ty and Sam behind the wheel, they put in a shit ton of work, would love to see more of that🤘🏼🤘🏼
And I wanna see Zach behind the wheel too!
Cleetus; your an inspiration my bestfriend passed away suddenly and his whole shop goal was to build a car for your burnout event it would mean the world if you can shoutout gonzi he meant alot to the cali race scene! he would purchase all your merch and went to pri to meet you guys!
everyone like this so ol cleeter mc skeeeter sees this please 🤍
Sorry for your loss brother. Your buddy is racing with a lot of legends now.
@@DJSOUNDSATIONcove Nah....Maybe if you paid him he might shout him out.
Sorry about your loss, condolences.
@@BariLopeshnah, Garrett isn't that type of person. He definitely doesn't do things for money. He just has to see it.
My god what a rollercoaster of emotion. George’s reaction to the 8.500 was so amazing. Seeing Garrett putting Mullet in the dirt made me nervous. Cleet you’re a legend man . Please be safe dude. I don’t need my hero going down.
Man Garrett, I am really glad that you and Mullet are OK after that. I seriously got scared when I heard the sirens. 6.73 at 220 MPH!? That was an AWESOME run brother!
As someone who is stuck in "dad mode" after fostering a little boy, I recognize it. Cleeter was honking his horn for that little kid in the stroller, notice the gentle honk. I say it every post, but you're killing it as a dad bud!
100%
Yes a good dad. But honking for that kid is making a stretch
dad bud with the dad bod
YOU are killing it as a dad (Cleeter too), and choosing to become a foster parent is next level in my opinion. If/when that child gets adopted I'm sure that he will be reluctant to call his new father 'dad' for a while.
If that isn't a true testament to the stopping power of those TBM brakes, than idk what is. To get a 3400lb machine to stop that fast from 226 mph is absolutely insane! And of course, having a highly skilled driver behind the wheel definitely helped! Glad you're ok and Mullet was able to drive away virtually unharmed (Other than that Turbo 400 😅)
Technically many other brakes would have as much stopping power as TPM breaks, but then they would highly likely warp and TPM breaks won't, that's their true strength :p
Lightweight brakes are a bad choice when your parachutes don't work.
It would be way better off with a large rotor like Porsche and track cars use. Using a wave rotor with less surface area can't stop as well as a full disc. Surface is surface area. There's no replacement for it and it's a reason why the most expensive track cars are using huge steel brakes. Saying that though the TBM probbly out brake any skinny upfront anyway so tire is really the limitation
He had one parachute…
@@Shiftheads Well friction has nothing to do with surface area, so the stopping power would theoretically be the same. But you need surface area and mass to take the heat. Thats why track cars need big brakes, they have to brake again and again without time to cool down.
Cleetus McFarland could would make snow cones out of a hail storm. Never ceases to amaze me how well this man handles adversity.
Cleetus, you are a machine man!
Thumbs up to your driving skills. 👍👍
Those brakes were cherry red. You gave Mullet everything it had to keep damage to a minimum. Your reaction just after and the interview with 1320 just show that you are one cool, collected dude.
@21:26 photo of Mullet in the dirt reminded me of Doc Hudson from the movie Cars. Thank God Mullet didnt wreck. He should now be called the Fabulous Mullet 🤣
Miraculous Mullet
Mullets even at the same angle as well. Thank god he didn't literally replicate ole doc :)
@@fast97z24 the negative rep for booting cleetus of all people would not be good for anyone involved. Plus he did nothing wrong so your point is invalid anyways. He didnt hit anything and saved his car🤷🏽♂️
ALL mullets are fabulous!
@@fast97z24why? He saved everyone from a full hours or two’s work! If he would he would’ve planted mullet deeper your getting a heavy wrecker or medium at best with a stout winch to pull him out. Plus then mullet is definitely out because that sand and dirt goes everywhere, plus they have to re do the traps b4 another car can run!
I had a feeling ruby was about to nail that 8.50 as soon as they told us the time right before. Ruby is back! That was one of ny favourite moments on your channel!
Yep yep she’s always been bracket car consistent
Ruby was certainly worth the wait!! She has a special spot in my heart. Buying her at auction was the episode I found this channel!!
Bloody hell that run was hairy, i will say the suspension shot is awesome, that rear end is a work of art!
Seeing Mullet at 234mph is my dream. A lot of positive vibes for the gear vendor from Australia!
Thats nuts how those brakes were GLOWING and STILL managed to lock up, SOLID brake setup 👌 and yea, at those powerlevels everything eventually ends up becoming a consumable lol.
James is a true hired gun, legit race car DRIVER...and the disappointment in Cleetus face at the end showed it all, he wasn't mad, he was truly sad.
The under truck camera shot with the breaks lit up was crazy. Glad you're safe brother
Love that you found enjoyment out of football 🏈 & your husband’s passion. I share your same sentiment when it came to football. I did not get it at first & missed out on so many games with my family also. But now I do love ❤it. Also, with any large group you will always find people who are gross or extreme especially when alcohol is involved & competitiveness. But either way its fun & entertaining as games are. I’m just happy watching you grow & are enjoying life & embracing all it has to offer. You’ve brought us so much enjoyment over the years you deserve all the positive coming your way. Never forget it. Hugs Colleen and family.
aw Garret I could see the frustration on your face buddy - But I totally agree, at the power levels you are running, add that to the fact you really are going fast, its time to be like the big teams and carry a spare. You will feel a lot more confident having that spare. Nice save on the sand trap!
Hell the big teams still drop out with spares. It's just how it goes when your at this level.
Spare trans and spare trans guts. Definitely needed at this level.
@@phantom240yeah a master rebuild kit and extra backup gears rdy to go. Having a spare good to go trans is much faster than rebuilding it tho. But wouldn’t hurt to have both
13.70 for Sam!!!!! I had no idea those were that fast stock, wow.
And ruby, you beauty! What a run.
It is crazy. 13.7 for a stock, what is essentially a work truck. Though that does play to it favor.
And that wasn't on the converter or anything, and still not broken in. There's a lot left in that truck even being stock.
What’s crazy is that is what bolt on 2nd gen lightnings would run… now that’s what stock bare bones work trucks are running.
It is the coyote with the 10 speed tho. That's makes a little difference from just a regular f150
Perfect pass on Ruby’s first race back. She’s making a point, she ain’t going up in the rafters or out in the barn no more. That girl belongs on the track
Nice stop at the end Cleetus! The concern in George's voice is real, what a tight team.
Those brakes did their job brilliantly! Glad you ended up OK
Sometimes broken parts keep us from pushing when all the signs are telling us to chill out. Stay blessed Cleetus.
that's true, stuff happens for a reason!
I like how stoked they get for a great run no matter who is driving. It feels corny to type this.. but thats what real friendship and team mates are.
I hear you brother, but it’s what we need more of. None of this fighting with each other crap
Hell of a job shuttin her down Cleetus, Your reaction to the shoots not deploying was super fast and defintely saved you from goin deep in the sand. Glad it was minor.
Cleet, it’s the guy who left his gf in the hotel on her bday to speak at the land use meeting. Thank you to you and George for filming another shout out to my gf today, and thanks to Jackstand for not throwing a wrench at me, lol.
This (day 2) was my first drag race ever, and though it sucks there was no Mullet, it was cool to see you guys again and watch Ruby do her thing.
I’m gonna remind you who I am every time I see you until you finally start saying “Oh, there’s Tim again” when I start walking up to you 😂
Thanks for everything. Do it for Ed!
What a freaking driver. It was sliding back and front. Then the whip at the end. Bravo cleet
Mullet is All Terrain!!!
Somebody needs to tell them M/T slicks are MICKEY THOMPSON
NOT
MUD/TERRAIN!!
Business in the front, Party in the read= All Terrain. 👍
I mean... it is a pick-up after all
Truck Mode Activated😂
Off roadin’ brother?
Glad to see you got out of the chute situation unharmed, looking forward to the daily updates 🤌🏾
Thank you for sharing your content
All the cars look amazing. Great driving cleet! Thanks for keeping mullet safe. Great driving
Put painters tape on carbon fiber to stop it from splintering and can help stop cracks when drilling.
Props to Cleetus for staying calm in the no chute situation and keep control of the car. That shit can be scary as hell and panic can overtake quickly. Good too see you and the car alright
Somewhere around 25 years ago, I took my '94 Cavalier Z24 to the local strip for some bracket racing. First time I'd ever been there, so I had no idea what I was doing. I showed up too late to have set a time, but I'd done some internet sleuthing about what times my car should make, so I just plain guessed for my breakout time. I guessed 15.8 seconds. My best run was 15.805. It still blows my mind how lucky I was lol.
Dude that wooooo when u stopped was definitely a relief. Pucker facter was very hi. Love watching tye get to run and have fun. Hes definitely one of the master mind of those bad ass units
In the future I'll try to match pucker factors with "hang it up before you blow it up" because I'll eventually have a street ripper project
I loved how you could hear it in every replay. Even the suspension shot had a woo!
I Frickin love George, coming and working for Cleet is the best thing he ever could have done!
Video quality has went down with george i cant stand him. I wish they didnt waste resources on him and the blazer.
@@iamunknowableyou know we can just click your name and see every negative comment you make? Get your negativity out of here.
George's enthusiasm is welcomed and always gets me pumped for the video.
@@iamunknowabletake your hate and hoof it. Just cuz he’s not what you like don’t mean shit, he’s stuck around for a reason. The fans like him and your constant hate is more indicative of a sad lonely man who is ashamed you couldn’t create anything near as nice and get their success and support.
Cleeters drifting skills definitely helped bringing mullet to a stop
I love it I was just telling my friend about this video I walk outside and watch cleetus McFarland and the whole crew roll right past my house in Brooksville. much love stay safe and stay blessed brothers

That is the best commercial for your TBM's you could possibly "oops" into.
Those puppies were h o t HOT and you got stopped.
Congrats to the team for a good day!
I was wondering if they were damaged from the extreme heat. That disk was looking mighty toasty. Very impressive performance.
@Slushpuppy154 TBM brakes shtick is the design of the rotors prevents them from warping under extreme braking heat unlike traditional rotors in most cases.
Imagine not having those shitty little brakes on your two ton racecar trying to save weight.
@fast97z24 Not much better dude..it was locking the tires up even at the end when it was near max temps.
It’s one thing to drive that car fast, it’s another TO STOP THAT TRUCK GOIN 200MPH AND SAVE IT JUST IN THE SAND!!!! GOOD WORK CLEETUS
cant help but be nervous for cleet with that screwdriver in the cupholder bouncing around at 226mph 😂
Chin up Cleet!
This is a great opportunity to sit back and reflect on the other vehicles in the fleet. Maybe even start to consider a next project, big tire light weight build to exceed what Mullet can do.
@@fast97z24why you butthurt about that

9:33... George's delayed reaction has me dying! 🤣
The way he had to double check was top comedy 😂
“eight….. EIGHT FIFTY DEAD ON!!!”
Mullet left this competition with a bang, and the shutdown field was cool to witness. Now George is no longer the only one driving into fields 😂
Actually glad you called it off for Mullet. After seeing those brakes glow, and as fast as you trap, I hope for everyone's safety that you at least replace the pads.
Unfortunately I am all too familiar with parachute failure. Glad you got out alright and those brakes held up. Definitely a scary feeling. Man seeing those brakes glow red is crazy.
Can’t imagine what it’s like going through the traps knowing your parachute has failed. Had to be one of the scariest things to experience when making a pass.
Congrats on the 8.50.0 love the live feed sorry about mullet great driving
Been there done that Just glad your ok as for Mullet it can be fixed
I used to skydive, and I packed my own primary. But I always had my reserve packed by professional. And whenever he was in the building, I would have him observe me packing my primary to make sure that I was doing things correctly.
It may be time to add a third parachute to mullet. A high probability of at least two deploying. Maybe the third parachute would be a reserve that is not packed by you, but is packed by someone else, and you only deploy that parachute in the event of something scary.
I also have suggested this before, but I didn't see any kind of reaction on it. You might want to look into sliders. Sliders delay and slow the opening of parachutes. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it would greatly improve the controllability of the car as the parachutes open. I've seen several times it looked very scary because of the way that yours deploy and the way it jerks around the back of the car. Now, I am not a drag racer, never done that. So I really don't know a lot about that. I do know something about skydiving and sliders when appropriately used really do make a difference in both reducing the impact, improving controllability and reducing the number of tangles and other malfunctions. Also, reduces damage to the parachute itself.
Now, I don't know if sliders are applicable in drag racing, that might be something you want to look into. There may be a good reason that they're not used. I don't know.
Yours was considerably more scary.
It is definitely something I never want to repeat. I went into a soybean field at about 30 miles an hour when I was testing my car and had a brake failure. I ran to about 880 feet and let off and didn’t pull my parachute because I had plenty of room to stop that was until I hit my brakes and the pedal went flat to the floor because I had a left front caliper fail. The car was pretty much unscathed except for seat cover that I sucked up my butt.
All that said Cleetus take the trailer hitch ball/receiver extension off when racing and or get some sort of shelf that inserts into the receiver hitch to keep the chutes from getting fouled when deployed
Loved the suspension angle of the slide. Ohhhhh and yeah,
James Taal is a Badass
Is it just me or did mullet lift so high during the run that it literally lifted off of the coil springs in the rear?!
I was wondering the same thing.
Seeing only one chute deploy at 220+ was anxiety inducing, thank goodness you're okay Cleet. Whatever happens to Mullet happens, we can't replace you
What a frickin save Cleet! Glad you're ok brother! Ruby's back my dudes!
Great job Tye, nice to see you having fun and not welding! You'll get it dialed in!
George's initial reaction to the 8.50 is one of the reasons I love this channel. You can tell all these guys live for this stuff.
Nothing like a good hype man.
Those tbm brakes puttin in work!!! Glowin and sparkin bringing that beast to a stop!!! Glad your ok!!!
i love that garretts instant reaction isnt fear that he nearly wrote off mullet it was a cheer that he didnt
Look Cleetus, even if mullet has to bow out you are still so far ahead with that team and this content. Nothing says true leadership like being humble when the dice didn’t roll and picking up the camera and wrenching with the guys. This is why your audience loves you and your channel. Go McFarland Racing Team!!!
Humble? He got in his private plane to follow, didn't give us the normal daily uploads.
That doesn't sound humble to me.
Yep, b4 plowing up the back 40 those rear rotors were glowing and throwing sparks pretty good. Lesson learned: Remove hitch and or ball b4 any full passes are made and chutes are needed!
Dude I love watching y’all’s sick week videos!!! Never disappoints
I'm just glad you're safe man, God bless!
I could see how tired and disappointed you were at the end there, cleet. Get some good rest, and enjoy your time with the boys. Don't let not being able to compete bring ya down. Love ya bud.
Ruby is an absolute gem.
Good pun. 👌
Ty’s truck is my favorite vehicle on the channel right now! That thing is just so cool!
George's momentary delay reading Ruby's time. Calmly read the 8, then completely loses it. Love it.
Gotta say, thats skill to stay cool calm and collected with that speed, while also applying stab braking to get ya slowed while still in control. Good stuff Cleetus, Hope Mullet is ok!
Ya put up a hell of a fight includinig that beautifu skid stop barely into the sand...loved the whole video - thank you!
Racing is all about lessons….. Now you know what needs to be done for Mullet…. I wish you the Ultimate Best in the future….👍🏾💯
James is such a fun and important part of the channel. Always fun to see him have success. Works on the cars, drives the cars, 8.500.
19:02 Only Cleeter would "woot" as he was going into the sand lol. 🔥
I think he wooted because he did run straight into the sand and stopped it at the entrance of the pit
@@chrisbeatty743 Yeah, it's his response to the situation that I'm talking about. He was hyped up... instead of being stressed or mad about his shutes not deploying. Basically I love his attitude.
Everything happens for a reason, don’t sweat it man ! Loved going to cleetus and cars in Baytown ! Great memories
Heck, mullet is making so much power a transmission forged by Thor himself would have its hands full! Love the content man!
That manual ABS was clutch. Good on you for always equipping your cars with damn good brakes as a backup, because that could have gone waaay differently.
