Today we took Mullet and McFlurry over to the drag strip for some testing. What we thought would be an easy night turned into a BATTLE! Neither car would cooperate and eventually Mullet just quit... but we didn't give up!

Who’s ready to see Sam make a run in his F-150 this week?
Me 🙋♂️
Brooootthhhaaaaaa
Hell Yeah Brother!
I want to see it on the dyno too!!! That SuperCharger is awesome!!
I am cleet
When Rip starts talking, and just calls everyone "Brother" its going to be the freakin best 😂
Fr 😂😂
His first word was brother, I can guarantee it 😆
Don't forget "Do it for Dale!"
i can't wait for his first jr dragster lol
That will be hilarious!!!
Please Please Please stop leaving all the random stuff in the car. A crash is bad a crash where you would have been fine but that screw driver slammed into your chest so you aren't is worse. We love you man Please clean the car up before you run 220+.
Was thinking the same thing when I saw that.
💯 percent agree with you... I don't like seeing stuff flying around in the cars as they make a pass...😖
These test and problem solving videos are what got me into your channel! So good to see you guys work at it and see the excitement in your faces once you figure it out. Hell yeah brother! Keep up the great work
The race weeks and the prep time leading up to them are my favorite content. I love seeing how much work it takes to get these cars from a to b and love celebrating with these guys when they're winning.
The look on Jackstand's face when Cleet is talking about doing donuts in the burnout pit is priceless! And shoutout to Zach for nailing down that wiring issue.
He's not mad. Just disappointed.
Needed every ounce of restraint not to slap cleet lol
@@ctskifreaks 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Classic
Disappointed father lol
😂😂 Jackstand "You know this is uh race ,like drag, car....right?" 😂😂
His look before he said that. 😂
@@Powerwashincrocs Man the look in his eyes hurt me :D
His face said it all lmao
Everyone with a serious face, and then you have the Dr dying of laughter. 😂😂
You did what 😂
I think Zach and PFI Brent are probably two of the best you could take on a drag and drive. Those guys ability to diagnose the gremlins is impressive.
I saw you at sick week in Cordova last year. You are the one of the most genuine person and down to earth I have ever met. Keep on doing what you do!
😂 Cleet: “The wiring is sketchy.” Zach offscreen: “It’s bad!”. ☠️
From somewhere inside/under the car 😂😂😂
😅😅😅👍👍
Cleetus said
“It just hit me, I did donuts on these tires…”
The look James gave him lol
Yep he went 😑 🫥
The boys were so dissappointed!
"you did what?" hahaha, James is the best
I like Zach’s breakdown even though it’s what I do for a living. Chasing wiring issues on industrial machines can be a crazy task. It comes with amazing job security. Most can’t be bothered to learn it lol.
Your videos ARE therapy for some people BROTHER!! Your videos keep me busy while I was laying around during cancer treatment. Much love CLEET keep doing your thing BROTHER!! 💯
Don't worry he's gonna keep pushing scams onto his audience.
@@richardjordan9092 Care to elaborate?
Jack stands face when cleet admitted to doing burn outs on the rears is like a dad disappointed in his kids
I felt embarrassed halfway across the globe I hope I never have to see that look again =D
You did wut???....
He wasn't mad, he was disappointed.
Which is always worse!
I just got to this post of the video as I read your comment and I'm crying 😂 All day they can't put power down in the car, stressing, frustration, making changes... Then James realising Cleet fucked the tyres last time the car went out... You can see he's trying SO hard not to start swearing 😂 Poor guy, I feel for him!
With all the stuff Zack diagnosed and fixed in just this video, you picked the right copilot for sick summer. Good luck guys.
Employee of the month FS
Just wondering who initially did the wiring
@@Lil_witte17Yea looked like a rat’s nest. Awful wire pathway for a race car that vibrates…
@@Lil_witte17 The shop that built Mullet. KSR fab
@@DareTheMachine Not at all. And wouldn't have been an issue if not for bolt backing out.
nothing better then coming home from a long days work and watching cleetus from AUS!
Lmao off...best Squirrel comment ever!!! " Well they look round but they identify as square!" I cannot stop laughing!!!
Holy crap! Jackstand's face at 26:05 realizing those were the tires he did the donuts in is priceless!! ALL DAMN DAY! The the face of a father if I've ever seen one!😂😂😂
"You know this is a RACE.... like DRAG CAR.... RIGHT." 😂
26:02 😂
Mom scolding him and dad in the back "it does really good burnouts though"
“You did what”
😂😂😂😂
Zach from under Mullet...... 'its baaaaadddd' 😂
I lost it at this part
Cleetus: Idk where Zach is...
Zach: It's Baaaaad!
Read this comment before I got to that part of the video. . . . Lmao that was soooo funny 😂😂😂
Sums up that evening I guess 😂😂
Proud of you for doing some solid testing and not just winging it. This is gonna be an amazing week!
Cleet, you've surrounded yourself with some really amazing guys. You're super lucky to have the crew you have!
Are we going to get any Sick Summer coverage here for us broke folks? Or is it only on FRDM+?
That's how he thanks his fans. Blocks us out of all of the events via a paywall... He will eventually put some kind of content up for us poor people, maybe by this weekend. I'm not hating, truly. I appreciate he's a successful businessman. But it's such a shitty thing to do to people
Normally he have a video of each day within a couple weeks but if he's still recovering from the month of freedom he may not. We will just have to wait and see. There's a few other car guys that do videos regularly too so you could check some of them out. Let me know if you need some names.
James with the “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” face lmaoooo
Total Dad look.
100%
Lmao
The solid 6 second stare James gave Cleet once he dropped the tire bomb was absolutely gorgeous lol.
That's no acting boy he was mad for real lol 😂
Yeaaa I was dying 😂😂😂
He wanted to either swear at him or slap him in the side of the head, probably both. That right there was the real James and showed his competitive side. He was just as pissed as Cleet was and the rest of the team that is wasnt going down the track.
@@WestCoastWheelman "you dumb ass mother fucker" was for sure going through James's head lol
@@heathabshire8929 I re watched that clip 3 times lol.
When I see Cleet n the guys now I can’t help but think about all their amazing wives we got to see racing each other. What an awesome bunch of wives, mothers, friends and supporters of all these crazy awesome events.
The look of Jackstands face when he Cleet said “I just remembered I did burnouts on these tires” was a look of “Really?🙄” 😂
"I only do donuts in a racecar on accident...not on purpose." - James Taal (The the double blink when he said "you did what?" and the frustration and disappointment on his face.) Cleet needs a guy like this on his crew to knock him down a step when he does something stupid.
We all need a James from time to time!
Yuuup,.. a mate we can trust to build us up when we need, and to chill us down when it's required, makes us better people.
25:40 For anyone searching
Lol that look was pure murder from both Ty and Jackstand
Truth but a paid guy will never tell the truth. Then your counterproductive and not being a team member yada yada
Retired EE here: yeah if wires are allowed to rub on Anything, they'll wear through, so you need wrap and/or padded clamps on all wire runs. One of the worst is letting stainless braided hose rub against Anything; it'll cut through like a slow saw due to vibration. Thread lock or Nyloc nuts on all hardware, or even safety wire on really critical stuff. *In short: build your race cars like aircraft.*
Great idea in treating the wiring like aircraft wiring. It’s not cheap but when you are going fast for a living, or at least trying to, going that last extra mile is a good idea.
@@Bill_N_ATX Yea, the wiring they showed in the video isn't great. There really shouldn't be any exposed wire without extra sheathing. There should be grommets going through panels. Actual motorsports wiring is overkill for this exact reason. Racecars will go through excessive vibration... bolts will vibrate out, solder joints will crack, wires will chafe, etc.
Safety wiring the bolts is a good idea, especially for bolts that prone to backing out and are critical to the operation of the car
Yeah people think of carbon fiber like plastic or fiberglass, but it will short out and or ground out like metal haha
Fun fact.. Carbon is also a great thermal conductor. Carvon fiber panels (depending on the way they are made) can be more thermally conductive than copper
Yup, this is a car with several hundred thousand dollars worth of parts, the wiring needs to match that level.
Greatest group of guys around. When they all put their heads together there is noting that can't be solved. Nice to have Pete as your "phone a friend" just in case.
Just what testing is for, you guys are becoming an elite team of guys who can find and solve problems at a fast rate and its great to see the teamwork. Good luck for this week!
You can tell George and cleet have good relationship because everyone else is like sad face trying not to make cleet mad but George starts cracking jokes and laughing 😂 he saved the whole vibe of everyone
How Fasterproms just stuck him in a closet grinding intakes is beyond me.
@@hydewhyte4364
You'd be surprised how many fellars like George work a everyday slave job. The man just happened to be employed at the right place/right time. George pretty much won the lottery becoming good friends with Cleeter, Cooper, & Jackstand.
@@hydewhyte4364 There's a reason Fasterproms is dead now.
He's a hoot.... and his play by play is awsum.
......and I soooo miss George trying to out launch Falcon 9 with the Blazer. 😁
@@hydewhyte4364 if that's he's previous employer it's like what do you expect dude we all have to work lol how would have he fed he's family and met cleet if it wasn't for that opportunity to work at he's shop ,
Zach is such a huge part to this team. Wiring is not for everyone but he seems to be extremely good at it
Zach’s wiring adds horsepower
This is why you have the best team man. You treat them amazingly and they bust their ass to figure out crazy gremlins like this. Always loved how you treat your crew. Also, killer video, one of the best thrillers of 2024 thus far!
Testing is specifically to find out where the gremlins are. This wasn't a duff test session, it was staggeringly successful in the number of things it identified and allowed you to fix ahead of the Sick Week. Also, Zach is a wiring machine. Mad props!
I love how Cletus uses the word "We"! He has so much respect for his team!
50 minute video, what a way to bless our Sunday evening. Hell Yeah Brother!
Garrett! I just got done watching 1320's interview video of your rise for the third time. I love it. Could you do small interviews with each of your guys? Some of us don't know all their back stories, like did they even have their own race car(or interest) beforehand or where they worked before coming to you? Love and Peace.
that's a great idea. biographies of the crew would be fantastic!
Your videos are so hearty. I felt your frustrations with it. Awesome video love the long ones to really sing your teeth in.
The look on little rips face just screams happiness, he knows he has the best dad and mother to raise him and a whole lot of amazing friends and uncles to show/ protect him, rock on little rip
stop being a parasocial weirdo
Better help is fucking abhorrent, Cletus. Get rid of it
George's subtle comments are so hilarious
They look round but the identify a square, you got to love the Squirrel.
The best camera man ever!!
By far the best hype man of any channel
Yeah, George as the cameraman just always takes the video to a better level. He’s quick and funny while not being overly talkative. Perfect if you ask me.
He just likes to hear himself talk... most 3rd graders are like that.
35:19 Edge grommet is perfect in that situation. Keeps wires and hoses safe. Check McMaster for Heavy Duty High-Temperature Rubber Trim for that thicker carbon fiber panel. For sheet metal panels, check out their Heavy Duty Plastic Trim.
"They look round, but identify as square". I died.
Zach yelling "Its baaaad!" from wherever he was on Mullet was hilarious.haha
“New day, new wires, new tune up, new tires.” 🤙
-Ol’ LS Georgie
Best crew ever! Garrett, I so enjoy watching what you and the whole team have created. Have fun and keep those seatbelts tight. Love and Peace.
James slow blink about the tires is priceless.
The look James gave Cleet when Cleet said “I did burnouts on these tires at Indy” was straight up Dad energy. The look a dad gives his kid when something stupid happened.
Sam is dying inside watching/hearing you hit your door against your trailer.
great video, I enjoyed that. I love to see the technical side and the testing bring results
Your videos really are a form of therapy for those of us who dream of doing this stuff but can't afford it. It's nice to see someone so humble and deserving of these opportunities. Never throwing it in our faces. Just taking us along for the ride.
Jackstands disapproving Dad look is coming along well. Haha
I rad comments after the vid... If you do too, James' face at 26:05 is priceless!!!
Great work, good to see mullet in street trim again, my favourite way for him to roll. Love the grey guards and headlights.
“They look round but the identify as square” 😂
Under rated joke😂
The disappointment on jackstands face at 26.00 is just great😂😂
I keep seeing a lil chooch of blue smoke from the right bank on decel. Hopefully it's just a turbski seal and not something internal! I love the cleetr krew! Best yt channel hands down!
Cleetus I have a great idea.
Not sure if this has ever been done but a universally swappable vehicle or boat.
I know any car is inherently universally swappable with enough effort.
My idea is a combustion vehicle that requires very little effort swapping between any style of engine.
A car or boat purpose built with a large enough:
-engine bay
-a robust cooling system
-universal ECU (if carbureted non issue)
-an easy engine mounting system.
The gimmick would being able to swap between a VR6 and LSX with little to no issues. With a car you run into to issues with transmission pairings but with a boat’s direct drive system I believe is be a better option.
Building a completely custom jet boat much like kickstands 3k boat from the challenge. The engine(s) is center the piece and the bay is catered to putting any sort of monstrosity as it power unit.
Would take a lot of fabrication but nothing y’all can’t handle.
Hella ya brother.
Let’s hear it for that Steve Morris scratch n dent in Mullet! That thing is a beast!
I thought that one got replaced didn't it?
@10thclimbtovictorystevens65 no that's the original SMX that was in Steve's wagon
@@10thclimbtovictorystevens65 they kept finding metal in the clear view catch screen. Steve tore it down and gave it a once over. Still the scratch and dent special
Yes that's the one he won the World Cup race with also, so I guess its a champion scratch n dent??? I can't remember if it was 6 or all 8 rods that left that engine when it was in Steve's wagon. Steve fixed it up and sold it to Cleet on the cheep.
@@NaRoonStarridera $60,000 engine is cheap ?
Hell yes just got on the tube hoping to see a Cleetus upload.
I love the “the tires are round but they identify as square “ lmao
Cleetus, we are all waiting for sick summer day 1🤷♂️
Steve Morris just uploaded. Mullet blew up again.
Well, sounds like they are a bit busy. Mr. Sam posted yesterday they were stopped at motion race works swapping out the transmission and today Steve Morris posted Mullet is running on 7 and he was headed out for a 4 hour drive with parts and tools to try to fix it. He said hopefully Cleet could get a run in on 7 this morning, have his track run done for the day and spend the rest of the day fixing it. With transmission problems on day 1 and engine problems today, I doubt videos are on his mind right now because if he was not able to make a run this morning, he is out. If he did get a run in and can not get Mullet fixed, drive to the next track and get a run, he is out.
I really enjoy jackstand always grabbing the ticket and reads off each number with meaning!!💪
it's too bad he's always racing in the events, he would be great at announcing.
I’m glad you posted. I’m about to lose it. I don’t have the right tools to cut this ptfe fuel line and I’m having the worst time doing this crap. I don’t have an angle grinder. I have never made fuel lines before so I didn’t expect to be this much work. They ptfe ward more difficult but I didn’t expect this. It’s alright. In less than 2 weeks I’ll have it all finished and blower installed
32 teeth hacksaw or an axe or a sharp chisel with a 5# hammer.
Cut off wheel and electrical tape
Dremel cut off wheel does it well.
Yeah cut off whee and tape is the best way. Listen to the guy above me.
What this guy said ^ A good swing of a decent axe will make a nice clean cut of almost anything. I often use it for 4/0 gauge wire as easier and quicker than cutters.
27:48 real bad wiring problem, i dont know where zach is but hes stressed out. **from under the car muffled** ITS BAD!!!!😂😂
Yessss! Needed some Mullet content !
The one thing I respect more than anything about Garrett is his willingness to share his mistakes and downfalls not just the positive... You don't see any of the big racing teams showing anything everything is tight-lipped but I promise you they have the same kind of problems the same kind of parts failures or they are rebuilding way more frequently than you would ever think... Props for being so transparent
To be fair they probably aren’t having this issue hahahaha. Not many race teams swinging donuts on drag tires.
All the videos are great, but man - the drag racing videos are still king, and 50 minutes to end the week is just fucking great
hell yeah
These longer videos are the best.
Jackstand's face at 26:04 🤣he's not impressed!
Energy at the end of this video vs at the beginning… love it 😌
Love when jackstand reads off the time sheets
I seriously was thinking, as he read the last one, how much I love hearing him read them off every single time.
Jackstands face when he found out he was doing donuts “ you know this is a drag car right?” Lmfao 😂😂
Don’t think he found out… but disappointed the tires never got changed🤣
I've had to stop and start this video about 4 times. I've went through about 20 adds. You're doing something right Cleet. Keep it up. Love your content
I really like the way you told the whole story, rather than splitting it into 2 videos. Great stuff.
Cleet, you have the best crew. Every person you have working with you fits perfectly. This channel wouldn't be what it is without them. Just saying you got grown men out here getting super excited to watch a CZcams video. You're doing everything right.
That new tuner Rip put a bunch of stuff out of whack on mullet. He will get there.
Cleetus, your like a little ray of sunshine in a gloomy disturbed world. It's the break we all need. Keep doing what you're doing.
Man yall videos are awesome ..yall came along way from the beginning man that's awesome brother cleetus
19:21 “See, good thing we didn’t weld those bolts like you said” 😂🤣😂🤣 little things like these comments are why George is the GOAT of commentary for the channel. I feel like the dude could host anything and have the entire crowd and tears laughing lol
Pete to the rescue! That dude is real good at doing stuff.
You mean that guitar playing nut? Yeah, he is pretty good at what he does.
Kill Switch looked like a 5 minute repair with a soldering iron and some small rosin core solder. Just scrape away the black solder mask from the burnt copper trace, melt a little solder on each end, lay a thin wire across it, solder over it. Then use some clear fingernail polish over it to protect it until a new unit arrives. Just be sure to not bridge over to an adjacent copper trace.
George keeps the mood light 👍 gotta have that guy around times like that💪keeps everyone from getting at each other
You're channel is one of the best on the tube. We all appreciate the work you put in on making great content.
Looking back from your beginnings to now it's so amazing you have worked so hard great job brother!
Re: Zak, "Use Loctite on everything."
I'd suggest nylocks. They can be reused up to 20 x's, don't have to remember, prep clean or heat reactive, (will melt at temps above Loctite release temp: ruins them for re-use, but no failure).
Only downsides are cost & additional weight, (~50% heavier than normal nut).
Can you ask Mr Sam if he knew an older gentleman from Kentucky who built and raced hotrods his whole life. Took tons of cars to shows in Florida etc for years. My grandfather his name is Robert "Bobby" Dunn from Midway, Ky. He passed away during covid unfortunately but seeing Mr Sam reminds me of him and gives me joy.
40:19
Sam still got the hood up, checking to make sure that blower is still there and shiny
The slow nod of the head and looong blinks from Jackstand said it all 😂
26:19 the 2 complete different reactions from Jackstand and Tun'em-all had me dying
Always looking forward to seeing your videos!!
Cleet, I love watching your videos! But putting a paywall up for the drag and drive, huge let down for many of your fans. Thats a “hell no brother” from us.
You do know there is Sick Week info out there for FREE???? I am able to keep up daily with what is happening at no charge and totally understand why there have not been any videos. They have had SERIOUS problems. Heard on day one they had transmission problems. Day 2 (yesterday) Lifter exploded. Welded lifters together. Got a pass to stay in it running on 7 cylinders. Got it to motion race works. Filter is full of metal. Cam has been hitting lifters every turn. Last I saw, they were going to have to hammer out the welded lifter/s. Steve Morris is making a mad dash 4 hours drive with parts and tools. Going to try to rebuild it and get to the next track for a pass. Last words from Cleet "I think we are going to be ok." They are thrashing. I highly doubt getting a video out is his priority right now. If they do not get it fixed and to the next track for a pass, they are out of the drag and drive.
Are you copying your same reaction on every comment about a pay wall? CZcams paid for this amazing adventure... It's just a shame to be missing out on the amazing vids.
@@failfarmvideos8758 Nope just giving info where obviously info is needed. Obviously, people are not aware that Sick Week info is out there for free and obviously, they do not take time to read others comments to find the info because it is being posted over and over again. Just trying to save folks the frustration they, by reading their comments, are struggling to deal with. Based on comments here, I see people do not know they can get the info for free and therefore have not seen the struggles Cleet is having this week and letting them know. As far as "you tube paying for this amazing adventure and missing out on amazing videos," what part of they are rebuilding a engine in less than a day, going to have to haul azz to the next track and get a pass in to even stay in this drag and drive and probably do not have time to edit ALL the crap they have endured the past two days let alone get a video up do you not understand??? You do know the rules are they have to make a pass at every track on specific days to even stay in this? I guess he could just say oh hell, well, we will just not even try to get this rebuilt and stay in this drag and drive because folks want a video today and would prefer me give them a sort of amazing video today instead of saying screw getting out a video today and lets get this engine rebuilt so we can give them ONE HELL of a video when we get back on track here.
Guys, cmon, don't take sponsorships from better help. They sell ALL of your personal data to third parties, including full transcripts.
Where are yall coming from? I’ve seen shit load of these comments and he probably has 5 videos mentioning better help and I haven’t seen one comment until this one
@@ocdrums24 I usually skip the ad segment but this time I was driving and listening. Better help has a HUGE controversy over this in the past. Ask yourself how a therapy company can afford to sponsor thousands of CZcams channels.
@@ocdrums24 Better help was taken to court has to pay out $7.8 million for selling patients personal information including mental health information to 3rd party data brokers when they told customers that no info was shared. The info was intended to target relatives of current customers. They have also have been accused of using unlicensed therapists.

Promoting scams to their subscribers to get rich themselves is what being an influencer is all about unfortunately 🤷♂️
25:36 * blink * "....you did what?" 😳
man I laughed so hard!
Cleetus should watch Steve Morris’s video on not using traction control like that.
Very Cool! We need a test track in Florida!
Jackstand's eyes when Cleet admitted to doing burnouts on those tires was PRICELESS.
Jackstand with the dad face and Nate with the belly laugh is the moment you know you messed up.
There is something special about George's hoooo buddy at the start of a video. He's like The Fonz but Floridman edition.
Awesome race team you guys killed it got dialed in. Can’t wait for more content.
I’ve said it before but never lose Squirrel as your cameraman/hypeman!!!
As a combat vet . It’s much appreciated to have the mental health call out to all of this community no matter how you look at it we gotta take care of ourselves.
Yeah. But betterhelp has been in the news for hiring unlicensed therapists and selling peoples medical information so getting help is good using betterhelp is not
Betterhelp are scammers, people need to support reputable mental health institutions instead 👍
"I did burnouts on these tires in Indy"
"...y'did what?"
😂😂😂
I love how positive George is!
