    This kind of collaboration is the best thing that's happened for Top Fuel racing in a long time. I don't think people realize how high the stakes are in T/F, and the pressure these guys are under, it's cool to see them have fun again. Great advertising for Parts Plus, Clay is such a cool dude and the McFarland crew brings a whole different energy to the sport! I don't think it will be long before we see Cleetus in a T/F rail. The sky is NOT the limit for this guy. The man is a MASTER at marketing his brand and the best thing is that everyone around him wins too.

      If Clay has already been talking to Rick about building a dragster for Cleetus to get his license in, you can BET YOUR BANK ACCOUNT they will make it happen!!
      It might cost $50-100k to get it done, but Cleetus, Clay, and Rick will get it done!! GUARANTEED!!
      And you can't help but just LOVE how excited Clay and Lutz are about stuff like this!!
      Cleetus is damn sure thrilled, but Clay managing to get Rick to let it happen.....
      That guy was literally on top of the moon for happy and excited!!
      Both about his 3.68 pass and going by Ruby close to half the speed of sound!!
      Videos like this with a BUNCH of guys in on it, and all of them excited and fired up about it,
      is what will keep this sport going strong for a long time to come!!
      I only wish someone would help Jeff Lutz get his videos to record in a higher format.
      He keeps uploading them at 360p for some reason.

      That would be a very slow bullet that you could easily see flying through the air. They are only moving at 484 feet per second, which is half of common lower powered pistol bullets. Faster pistol bullets and most rifle bullets break the speed of sound and cause the crack you hear. My 460 magnum revolver will spit them out at 1,636 mph. It did make Cleetus look like he wasn't moving and what is even more impressive is the acceleration at both ends of the track. How many people have to worry about damaging their eyes from the deceleration when they get off the throttle of their ride?

      @@CGT80 yeah I know my analogy is incorrect.... If a bullet had wheels and had to overcome surface friction as well as air resistance it would be much much Slower than that dragster.... It wouldn't need 1 bigger explosion to propel it fast enough, it would need 8 of them happening really fast over and over just to keep up, and if it wants to win it needs some really sticky slicks and a big ass wing lol. Not sure how you fit a driver in a bullet so it can steer in a straight line though. lmao
