I've become a real fan. He has a natural talent and is a good and decent person. The intrusive thought that creeps in and which I would never bring up in his comments is the thought of Senna. I worry the most about the really good ones.
@@TheGreatestShowman69you do understand what it takes to stop a car doing 220 right ?? Brakes are not enough and 1 parachute ain’t either especially on a 3400 pound car
Can tell that car was on a run. Glad everything should be ok, figure between 1 chute and the tbm brakes saved it. Sure we will get whole story coming soon.
i noticed on his test pass on his channel he was on a ride and struggled to stop lol.. if you watch the video mullets first pass back or w.e you can see him panicing a bit stopping
@@DcBoy261 the thing is they've gotten hot like that on mullet many times including his other cars, like the other guy said in that test pass he struggled and even had a tire chirp. I was looking at his eyes too. I dont know why he never mentioned anything etc. I cant remember if its mullet or another car or even like Kyle's car but one of the cars I remember the parachutes get effected by air and they actually go towards the car then back out.
@@onetime7214yeah I saw that but didn’t give it to much thought because cleeter didn’t mention anything of it. It looked like he was pumping the brakes in the video, and like you said, you could see it in his eyes that he was nervous. It’s gotta be more than just the parachute
Seriously though cleet been going hard af lately. I mean we lost Ken block in the damn snow.. no one is invincible. I couldnt imagine how the car community would feel losing cleet..
Danggg 6.73 at 220….. 😮 No but for real my heart skipped a beat when I saw this video pop up 😅 Hell of a run really glad Clets ok man… stop taking parts of Rocky 😂
The drone gave a pretty good perspective of the length of the shutdown. Looks a good bit shorter than the shutdowns on other major tracks. Maybe something to take note of when cars that are running deep into the 6’s and even into the 5’s are making passes on this track
I was going to say a typical shutdown is double the length of the racetrack and this one only looked like it was maybe a quarter mile shutdown, going 220+ and stopping in a quarter mile is a lot to ask
Hey that's one of the hard lessons learned in a really good way that didn't get him hurt thank God. After things like that when you get the car home, and the event is all over an your laying in bed that night next to your wife.....the last thought that goes through your head is " Man they're right you can't put a price on safety, I'll get the guys to look over the car with me tomorrow and we'll go ahead and replace everything and order better stuff to go on the car before the next event "
You don't know if he changed them or not dude. But I will play devils advocate here though. It was a late chute deployment, just like his test passes in Bradenton. He's a bit rusty it seems. He's usually deploying just past the 1000 foot mark...
2nd chute got stuck on the hitch. What does that have to do with the TBM brakes? If anything, those brakes are what prevented him from going much much further in the sand.
For those wanting to know what happened the second chute hung up on the tow hitch, the car is fine, just a bit of paint off. He does however have a damaged transmission which they replaced overnight.
That hover craft accident in his backyard could have easily killed him too. He came so close to breaking his neck or ripping his leg wide open on something.
Cleetus ur ok 👍 In the early '70s (?) I was on the last exit of return rd. at Lion's Drag Strip in long beach ca. when Doug Rose went flying by in his jet car , chutes failed , and he buried the nose in sand . Had to be cut out . He lost both feet above ankle . Came back a year or so later . new prothesis' new car and kicked butt 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️
Imagine guys. Just like that it could have been youtube without Cleetus. Please appreciate everyday and everyone around you cause you never know when they will stop being around
@@TheBCninja yea he said last video they were smoking and red hot and just stopped him because he hit the parachutes late. You think he would of changed them. They rush things to much lol. Not the best look for TBM.
@@TheBCninja coming off a 220mph run and 1 chute those brakes definitely put in work. if not for good brakes he wouldve been farther out in the gravel pit. theres a reason they require 2 chutes past 200mph.
@@TheBCninjathey stopped a 3500lb car from 220mph. There's a reason they are required to have chutes at that speed. Those tbm's did exactly what they were supposed to do.
How do you know he didn't change them? He does part own the company you know he's probably got parts for every car he has in stock. And the fact that they still stopped a car that heavy from 200+mph I think is a really good advert actually 🤦🏻🙄@@ralphhondaman
I have been ask g myself, how far can one man push the limits. I pray for everyone to be safe daily but racers are a special breed. No blood in those veins just straight steel man
Did that once myself and it scared the crap out of me. It was on a small 1/8th local strip, so I wasn’t going as fast, but it was still scary. I am glad that no one was hurt.
They just rebuild that rear end, too! Glad he's OK. I thought there would have been more damage because of the way the thumbnail looked. Super stoked he was able to drive it outta there.
We lost a great driver and father in Ken block around this time last year, I’m glad nothing happened to Cletus, I couldn’t imagine the same thing happening again this year
ive always wonder if bigger breaks where better, since these looked like bicycle sized, but these arent endurance breaks even with all the cut outs the shoot really helps at 200+
Oh man I bet his next video is going to be wild lol. That thumbnail scared the crap out of me. It look like he hit the wall and bounced into the sandpit sideways because of how the barrier is tilted. Thankfully it wasn't that.
This incident had nothing to do with TBM brake failure. TBM's actually helped this from being worse. The chutes got hung up on the receiver hitch.
Those brakes were SMOKING and totally worked perfectly! No damage on the car.
I can just hear George now... "what in the world?!"
George has field driving experience
Golly!
Lmao he certainly does 🤣
Brotherrrrr!!!
George prefer the corn fields 😂
In true Cleeter fashion, drives it out of the sand. 😂 No tow truck needed here.

He tempted the fates with statements like that. We lost Dale, and Ken, Lets hope Cleet doesn't get added to that list
I think he let the tator chip rip
@@Oatmealismdamn that’s a heavy thought. Praying he doesn’t join em too soon

Yep and I hope mullet wasn't hurt too much.
1st test for Mullet as a truck. I can't wait to see the in car cam.
What?
Not sure about the first, but the second, yes.
its definitely first test as a truck@@Zairn12345
Trucks off-road guys so mullet is certified now
I see I see. Missed the comment completely. I thought you had to hit mud for it to be a truck. Not some wimpy sand! 😆
Oh god my heart sank for a bit... I'm glad he is okay.
yep glad hes ok
Same, I read the title and was like OH NO!!!
I was a little shook when I saw the title
Same I stopped my other videos when I saw this in the suggested section
I was about to say the same thing
“Hey you can’t park there” glad he’s okay
"Is this not a reasonable place to park?"
Cleeter when everyone shows up, "were good! Just rolling my chute up and ill be right on outta here" 😂😂😂
Glad he’s ok. Great father and husband

Glad dude is okay! ❤ prayers for all racers! 🙏
Prayers? Fiction
Not surprised. He had the rotors glowing at Bradenton testing due to a late chute and burnt the pads off of it. Then didn't bother changing them.
Bro your a clown 🤡
So because he didn't show it on camera, he didn't do it at all? Come on bro.
You don't know if he changed them or not dude. But I will play devils advocate here though. It was a late chute deployment, just like his test passes in Bradenton. He's a bit rusty it seems. He's usually deploying just past the 1000 foot mark...
That def explains why 1 chute deployed, ty
2nd chute got stuck on the hitch. What does that have to do with the TBM brakes? If anything, those brakes are what prevented him from going much much further in the sand.
WHEW... glad to see him able to drive it out of there at the end!!

Both parachute related
@@_JamesBrown true, neither deploying could be a tragedy
That hover craft accident in his backyard could have easily killed him too. He came so close to breaking his neck or ripping his leg wide open on something.
@didsomebodysaydmt8193 he said lately though... If you want to hop on the time machine, he could have drowned anytime on the rapids with the jet boat
Good thing he doesnt skydive.
He had to hit the brakes hard during his test passes at Bradenton, I wonder if he checked his pads after that to make sure they were OK?
What have the brakes got to do with the parachute not deploying 🤦🏻🙄
@@smh28v6 Nothing, 'cept that he had those brakes GLOWING yellow hot just a few days ago and the OP was wondering if he thought to pull the pads.

Closest he has ever come to wrecking a car yet. Betcha he is changing his shorts after that.

nah. did you forget he went 200 mph with no chute
If 6ft of gravel soils your pants you're in the wrong career.
That's definitely not the closest. He nearly slammed into the wall once or twice.
He had no chutes in tom bailey car once.
