im half sure he's been doing drag racing media in aus for a fair while and given he'd have motivevideo and fullboost as mates yeah no shock he's good at coverage
Yup, and none of them are banging on about empowerment or girl power or screaming about feminist rights, they're just getting on with it, and gettin' 'er done...... It's great to see.
Watching them on another channel first doesn't take anything aways from them and their channels, it just makes you more hyped to see it from their perspective
@@Matty.Hill_87 I felt the same as the above comment and agree with yours 100% ! I just want updates right away, I get to support this new channel and then still watch theirs and support them too
When there's multiple coverage from these events I usually watch it in all channels I follow, because even though the runs might still be the same, most of the time they get different perspectives/focus on different cars, or interviews with different people that have cool cars. 1320, Tom, Cleet, KSR, PFI... I usually watch all of them :P
@@carsetc1794 he did do a 6.99 with mullet, during sick week. And I understand from that event/videos, its not even turned up to near its limits (2500 hpish; he's running it somewhere between 1600hp and 2000hp currently. He's got the power, his game is going to be with traction.)
@@somethingsomeonesaid6455 ive seen all his passes since the fabrication of mullet, im talking about rocky mt race week, this current event, its crazy that hes almost at 6's in this event when big tires are struggling to do the same. Take care.
@@carsetc1794 Ah, gotcha. I have been noticing that the bigger tire cars are putting out "mild" passes for what they are capable of. Might be to save the car for later too, but when your chassis is set up for big power and you don't give it that, the whole system doesn't follow through with full power transfer.
Thanks for the Coverage and also showing the more average competitors. I think when people are only seeing insanely fast cars it might discourage alot of people of wanting to participate.
foxbody car #183 sounds so good and rips! Was wondering what it was in yesterdays video, its a coyote no wonder it sounds so good! Favorite stickshift class car forsure. Stoked to watch Alex & cleet battle, but sorry cleet ya brought the wrong tires, Alex is going to take the W
Thank god Alex didn't listen to her dads depression, and went for it anyway!! 7.23 is rockin'!! Glad to see her and Cleetus getting their cars sorted out, this will make for some great competition!!
@@jdbergan No, that's pretty much how he is. I watch Alex's channel and he is always about the same. Don't get me wrong, he's very good at what he does he just doesn't come across as happy. He might well be happy, but doesn't really show it. Then again, pretty much anyone will look sour beside Alex.. lol.
Really enjoying your video style , just right no mad overpowering music or jumpy cuts . Nice interviews with the drivers and teams. Keep it up. Thank You for enabling us to get involved in this event 😎👍
It's much harder for Cleetus to make a super fast pass than Alex.She is on a big ass bias ply slick,and Cleetus is on a 315 radial.THANKS TOM! you the man.
Great coverage guys. Loving the interviews with racers and the quick run down of their cars. - really something that sets this apart from others I reckon 👌👌
Hey Tom it's all getting better!👍 Glad to see we are finally getting to see more ET'S and that's great cause I was about to give up. Only thing I could call a complaint at this point is there were several teaser's where we watched cars through the traps but then the video was edited literally a half a second before the ET showed, but other than that it was great! For me ET's are the main reason I watch a video and if it wasn't for them I'm wouldn't be watching. One way to look at it is think of all the friends of the participants that are following your videos to follow their friends progress and have to go elsewhere to find their times.
@@Matty.Hill_87 Slower rebound would help keep the nose down. Combine that with harder bump damping would reduce or eliminate all the bouncing when it lands. Right now it rides like it has no dampers on it at all.
Thanks for being the great update you always are. Looks like Mullet should only get faster and Alex will be lucky to make it the distance. If mullet takes the win it could be the best all around best drag and drive car on the planet
Cleetus and Alex almost match times is awesome being Cleetus is on small tires while Alex is got big tires I bet if the Mullet had the same size tires Cleet would be running sixes all the time or very low sevens on bad runs
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up trying big tires eventually. That much power on a small tire only works when the track is really good like Bradenton
@@lysolmax I watched all the build videos and I must have missed it! But I wouldn’t put it past Kevin to do exactly that! That man thinks way ahead on his builds!!!
Should make a video of just ladies and one of just kiddos for RMRW! I am sure over the week you can catch them all at least once on track and a pit interview!
LOL!!! His hair looks much better when he’s at home or going out somewhere. It’s just when he’s busy working on the cars or out in the hot wind that it gets all crazy looking.
@UCBnKwyYXOGlIi9rjoq6SfOw sorry buddy i had to, I flubbed a bunch of words on an unexpected interview so pointing out the screwups is just part of the fun. But man you have the car to back up the talk, would love to hear about suspension and clutch setup. Do you use a Clutch Tamer?
@@kevin_nagle no you’re good haha. Knew you were joking lol. I do use clutch tamer. We built a bracket that lets the cylinder drop out so that I can shift the car without it engaging. Super cool.
I like that this coverage included the not-so-famous racers; the up and coming, women, and younger folks. Excellent work sir.
Came to say the same. 16 and learning to drive a manual and race at the same time! That’s badass:)

It gets me everytime as well mate, even Tom couldn't hold it together 😂😂
so good haha
Hahahahahahaha yesssssss!!!
It’s awesome to see so many young people getting involved.
Especially seeing young girls and women involved in the actual racing.
Yup, and none of them are banging on about empowerment or girl power or screaming about feminist rights, they're just getting on with it, and gettin' 'er done......
It's great to see.
They need to stop closing down all the dragstrips

you'd likely have to wait 3 or 4 months for Alex to post hers, so no need to feel guilty.
I’m glad George is having fun. So glad he got let go by Jeremy he’s a way better mesh w the Cleetus bunch!!
what group was he with before cleet?
Faster proms
@@jonathandevillez4040 thanks man
Faster proms channel is dead air at this point
Jeremy did him so wrong, George definitely landed on his feet with Cletus
That Coyote swapped fox sounds amazing! Talk about an Eargasm!
Coyote cars really get the LGBTQ+ community going. Enjoy your pride month 🤙
@@mrnastytime420 I support LGBFJB
glad to see the ladies coming out and putting in some great passes!
Your commercial for sick the mag cracks me up every time I see it. Its cool as hell seeing all the youngins taking interest in the 1320.
It's amazing to see so many young competitors entering and being part of it all
It's great to hear the drivers tell their stories!
Thanks for all you do, Tom. We all appreciate it very much.
That Mustang sounds so dang good leaving the line at 7500RPM
Thank you for the coverage, between you guys and 1320 we get to see so much of the events
I am really glad to see so many young ladies out their bangin gears.
Great coverage great stories. Inspiring to see so many young people out there digging into the sport.
The fact that Cleetus can hang with the pro mods is just insane. That alone should be a massive victory for him.

Thank you guys for the coverage of all the drag and drives, watched a bit on bang shift yesterday. So cool to see young people keeping racing alive!
Thanks for the great coverage. That LS swapped Z car is cool. So many unique cars at these events!
Gray notchback is the best sounding Coyote I’ve ever heard!
Thanks for the follow up on the silver mustang, Tom.
I loooove the silver trunk car. That thing sounds insane on launch!!!

Thats why Cleetus is in Radial and Alex is in unlimited... 2 different classes. And they are running similar times..
Pretty sure there both in unlimited this time

We all love the the top three at end!!
awesome video can't wait until tommorow when they're at Bandimiere

Thanks for the footage. Great to watch
So cool to see the standings at the end of the video.
I stg I was listening to this while in the car and the wind noise at 0:54 made me think we just blew a tire
Good gawd, that Fox at 1:33!!! Rowdy!
George is gonna end up killing himself in that Blazer... lol... Dear lord that thing is a handful!
I needs a lot of chassis work
@@Matty.Hill_87 Main thing it needs is some actually functional front dampers

Well done everyone !
Love seeing the woman getting into the race game more and more! Merica!!
Way to go Michaela Stark, learning to drive stick while racing👍 Good luck to her 😀
man that kid with the stick shifted coyote Mustang is bad ass!

I was going to say the same thing!!! How long will it be before ole Cleet slaps on some big tires??? Only problem will be making room for them!!!
@@wbr7869 I think the inner fenders were built to handle bigger tires. Think Kevin said something at one point while he was working on it.
@@lysolmax I watched all the build videos and I must have missed it! But I wouldn’t put it past Kevin to do exactly that! That man thinks way ahead on his builds!!!
Cleet would be dominating this event on a big tire
That first mustang is badass
Looked like Jessie James sitting with Katie farmer haha. Good luck to all the ladies!
That trailer set up at 7:14 😲. I need to see more of it.
You ROCK Alex !!
LS-George still needs to find a tractordealer to get some counterweights.
And it wouldn’t hurt to get some better shocks on that thing! He has way to much bounce everytime he goes down the track!!!
And when he get it under control the torque will rip The Blazer into pieces....
@WBR 78 unless they found another he only has one functional front shock because they mounted one upside down and messed it up
Great coverage!
Thanks for the upload ,great content,some sweet rides .
Great job and video guys 👍👍🇨🇱
Hell yeah brother
This is AWESOME !!!!
Great stuff!
Awesome video
thank you for the video
Miles Groves is a badass. That is all.
Did the driver of the '55 Chevy wagon used to run Modified Eliminator? I only ask because keeps breaking the needles off of his tach in the burnout.
That silver fox is awesome
Thanks I was already going crazy re watching day 1 videos lol
Your killing it luke 👏
Cleetus for the win ✊✊🔥🔥🔥
Not a big Cletus Super fan but we do need a return of Leroy to get that stick shift small block crown...I just like that car a lot
I can't wait for Leroy to be rebuilt with the new transmission. Though I do like Mullet too.
I can’t wait to see the 9” in Leroy!!! I got so tired of them braking the corvette rear end!!
I love how that mustang sounds
👍👍 Enjoyed!!!
Should make a video of just ladies and one of just kiddos for RMRW! I am sure over the week you can catch them all at least once on track and a pit interview!
That coyote foxbody is NASTY and that kid can shift!
Close race at the pointy end there.
great video

I want to see more of that red Stealth.
Tom, from all the footage I’ve seen it looks like there has been minimal breakage on track slowing things down. Is that accurate?
