    You can really tell what a passion the Freedom Factory is to Cleet when his first moments out on the oval went: “DANG THIS THING IS LOOSE”… Then immediately “Oh hey they’ve got some nice equipment, check out these lights- I wonder how it’s gonna look at night”…. This man eats sleeps and breaths thinking about how to grow Freedom Factory and what’s next, it’s great to watch someone who is 100% genuine to who he has always been and yet still have the business mentality a millionaire should, huge respect for Cleetus and his guys!

      He is truly talented. I think some fans may feel he’s lucky/has money to get where he’s made it.. but aren’t necessarily aware of how incredibly skilled of a driver he is. Pro level experts in multiple fields have been totally comfortable letting him hop right in with minimal instruction. All the money and luck in the world can’t get you through something like what’s shown in this video without a ton of natural talent and skill. Basically a master of general motorsport operating. Love to see this type of content for that reason.

    @robertmcdevitt7873 2 года назад +4

    I remember saying a few months back when you were racing rzrs that you can wheel in the dirt. Jet boats would be wild. Would it be like a circuit track, kind of like those v8 mini boats with a 2nd seat spotter? Dirt has some versatility: variety of classes to race, demo derby on the side, monster truck crushing cars, crown vic sideways in dirt looks cool. I would caution against anything open wheel- those things can get into the stands and hurt people and they tend to flip a lot. Think about your grass
