This is the first time I’ve edited an entire weekend race into one video. Wanted to try it and see what you guys think. Do you prefer a video for each day, or one that has everything?
Wrap mullet in that same shade of grey
Love this leaves the suspense out of it
I love this long format, personally.
One each day, so other youtubers don't spoil the results
My anxiety was killing me!!! Videos everyday please!
James has gotta be one of the calmest dudes I've ever seen. Dude blows an engine, crashes into a wall and catches fire then blows the head gaskets on the next car and he's still fired up lmao
He's got a true racer's heart. Something went wrong with the car? _Ah well, you'll get that with these big horsepowers, is the other car ready to go?_
I wish I had that kind of focus. He is always looking at the next pass, can't change what already happened keep moving forward
When you push the limits as hard as the "Cleetus Crew" does you're gonna break SOMETHING! Their focus on everything is phenomenal! Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Whatever part isn't up to snuff is the part that gets snuffed!
@@PhilG999 Yeah old Cleetus has assembled a great team
I KNOW! Zero Fs but he cares lol. All such good dudes
It’s crazy to think that cleeter went from putting whistles inside the exhaust of his corvette 6 years ago to building an empire of bald eagles keep up the spectacular work brother
Inheritances are a crazy thing
@@URsooomad8613bro had a job and went from there when he started making money and blew up on youtube
@@URsooomad8613lol he has worked so hard and so long to build this team and brand. What inheritance? Wasn’t he Iaw school before going into CZcams full time.
@@URsooomad8613brother it wouldn’t matter if that’s true or not. Garret has worked his ass off building this empire. He has built an a outstanding team of wonderful people. He’s almost gone completely broke twice taking chances to get where he’s at. A lot of people are haters or jealous but at the end of the day… the guy is good at what he does.
was the first video i ever saw from him
Does anyone else appreciate Cleetus’ attitude win or lose. This man is a legend with a great attitude.
Class act, it’s a great influence on his viewers that humility and sportsmanship will get you a lot farther than being a jerk to others
Money will do that to ya. Why would he have a bad attitude?
@@joshuagibson2520most people have a bad attitude because they lost.. cleetus doesn't let stuff like that get to him
@@joshuagibson2520It's not about money. It never has been with Cletus. It's about racing and having a blast. He don't do it for money, He does it for Dale!!!! Yeee, yeee!!!!
@@gravyd316 yee yee!
Not many people in this world can smack a wall and be in fire then walk back and jump straight into another car. Awsome team of drivers.
While the cars might mean something to you away from the track at the track there just a tool that you have to be prepared to right off every time you strap in if that’s what it takes
Well not many people have multiple cars to drive like them lmao
So he barely hit wall and came back to loose another race. What an accomplishment. Sandbaggers got sandbagged. 😂😢😢 Garrett too!!
@steveletson6616 boy, you showed them. Off to hate watch the next video.
@@steveletson6616what would the world be without haters, they are the biggest fans! 🤷🏻
Jackstand is such a badass. He crashes his car and before it has even stopped moving he's already jumped out and ready to race the next one.
Jackstand is a different breed...
Not just that he wet the car on the big end and still managed to stay so calm. I would have 💩 myself having just ran my car to the wall the pass before. Bro has battery acid and red bull running through his veins.
He isn’t in emotional distress because those cars aren’t special to him. He just wants to race and win. So as long as he’s not hurt too bad he’s on to the next race.
@@chevchellios2988James is a racer plane and simple. He realizes while the car might mean something to you away from the track when at the track they’re just a tool that you have to be willing to right off every time you strap in if that’s what it takes
@@GL8ZEnoice
Something tells me there's alot of people who don't appreciate neighbors quarter mile burnouts 😂😂
A lot of people must be commies then.
I love how Leroy just rockets off the line while the others seem to be in granny mode taking off like they're at a stop sign in the city.
Crazy, because it's a back-half car! They've really knocked a lot of time off the lights.
Cleet & James are killing' the lights-stick cars sound like nothing else !
You have it or not
Sam is so freaking genuine. The way he pats the car a couple time before your run. What an absolute legend of a guy.
Giving it the Elder's Blessing, I hear that the buff drastically reduces the random change of engine failures, and he also gives it the Detail of Approval, which reduces aerodynamic drag by an amount the Developer left unspecified in the manual I managed to find.
He does so much for the boys! In the background you can see him doing loads of stuff!
We randomly walked past him on the way to go home and got a pic with him. super positive and awesome feller! 😄
Sam is awesome.
Arguably the best racing in a LONG while. Side-by-side action every race and our boy Mullet doing work on that 275. I personally prefer the whole weekend into a single video. The bits you post on your social media stories kept my anticipation levels high for the video to finally drop. Let's also not forget about Leroy finally coming through during competition and performing the way we all knew he could.
I think everyone agrees that having all of the content in one large video was pretty cool. Loved seeing how much the team had to hustle racing so many classes this past weekend.
Mullet might've lost the finals, but if it weren't for cleet's hospitality and letting them use their shop, they never would've won. Good on you guys. hell of a weekend
George just pulling out the pure talent running a 9.52 on a 9.50 class with the car acting up lmao.
What do we think? At first, I was bummed that you weren’t posting daily, as I would catch snippets on other people’s channels, but seeing it all together like this is just awesome. Thanks bud. Happy you guys are all safe and we appreciate all that you and the guys do.
Between Cletus, Emilia, VGG, Junkyard, Demo, Donut, it's about all the 'Tube I have time for. The quality just keeps climbing to the point I've not watched regular TV in years.
@@IanWrigleyNZcan’t believe you can still watch donut media. Such a waste of a channel that had so much potential. Wasted on lazy list content.
Zack rarely gets to drive, but what a huge valuable part of the team he is!
Zack and Tye have taken this team to the next level for sure
@@forest9997lol
*** - Agreed
@@forest9997agreed 1000%. Those 2 are my favorites on the channel. Cleetus has proven he has amazing eye for talent building this team that he has.
Has it occurred to you that he doesn't WANT to do these races?
I wouldn't if I was in his shoes.
Better to be there getting paid to help out vs helping for free cause he is there to race.
Our guys managed and ran 5 cars, did the competition do that in the same time avaliable. Incredible. If they put all their efforts into 1 car I wonder what they could achieve.
The positivity is contagious. Opening up their shop, lift and tools to the guys that were ultimately their final competitor. Sportsmanship at its finest 👊🏼 kudos to the whole team for a hell of a knife fight.
Absolutely. One of the few sports where this sort of thing happens.
i like the driver of that green car- he seems likeable and respectable. Mullet will have his revenge next time
The way they helped the other team was class! Helping your competitors stay in it is *always* a non-starter! Nobody who really loves to compete wants to win on a technicality, or a no show. You want to beat the competition with driving skills and bald eagles, fair and square!
Absolute class act! I wonder if they‘d like to join Motion Raceworks, though… keep it in the family 😅
That smile on Lil Ripper's face driving Dad's car at 13:38 is just pure joy and excitement !!!! Priceless moment right there!!
Congratulations for a great weekend of racing. Longer vids like this are excellent.
Kids are the best! My nephew does the same driving my prado.
This video is awesome, and what a display of pure class from the team. Offering up your shop to help make sure someone else can race, and then congratulating them after they beat you in the finals. Just really great attitudes all around. Love to see it. That's what it's all about. Everybody getting out and having fun doing something we all love to do.
*** - Agreed
BEST CLEETUS EPISODE EVER!
The flow, the story, the progression....THE BEST!!
Shows true sportsmanship to let them rebuild their car in your shop only for them to come and beat you in the finals. Hats off to you sir, a true competitor!
I wouldn't let anyone at my shop
Cleet and crew have done the same, used other people’s shop to fix their cars. That’s what good people do.
@jkane121 that is how you win or lose in a fair game!
Win some you lose some, but to lose to a no-show you don't want a freebie
@@Turbogto_guy Yeah like when they came here in australia with toast a couple years back.
The pure joy on Ripp's face sitting in his dad's lap while pretending to drive Mullet just made my day! I needed this!
me too that was amazing.
Big serotonin boost there! He'll yeah rip!
The only channel I will watch an entire 1 hr 17 minute video and enjoy every minute of it . Thanks for the solid content cleetus , second place is pretty damn good after the luck you guys had.
Hands down. Favorite channel on CZcams. Nothing like good friends making the dream happen. Proud of you all. Nothing but blessings and success for all of you!
Nobody has a more wholesome team dynamic. These guys are legends and role models.
Team McFarland is world class.
They really are. Incredible men.
Yeah, thought so too until I saw Cleet on someone else’s CZcams channel and he was dropping f-bombs right along with the hosts. Really glad he chose to keep this channel family friendly.
@@danmyers9372show me a racer that don’t cuss and I’ll show you a steering wheel holder it just comes with the territory
Even when things didn't go George's way, he still stayed positive and upbeat all night long! Dude is an absolute unit on the team! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GROUP!
george is cool and its fun to see him racing 9.50 class then just doing the ET for lowest time racing.
All of them are great!
@@j.nilsson5362 yeah absolutely. Even when a crash, 2 blown engines, rear gear, and then the Blazer all within like an hour of each other...stayed smiling, joking, and laughing. That's not easy to do when a race weekend of any discipline of racing is going that sideways
Yes 1320 style videos love the full episodes please bring back the Cletus car reviews with the boys this time tho
Listening to Mullet’s engine scream is absolutely insane!!
Would not be disappointed if y’all keep doing hour long videos for events like fl2k and World Cup
cuz i aint payin that fkn 150+ $ to watch via floracing
flo is worth it if youre going for more than just the drag events. dirt racing out the ass. you pay less for a year than it is to go to 2 or 3 events.@@KLSMTL
Agreed I like the long format for events I have no clue what that other garbage post was maybe he drank way to much freedom during this long video
The personalities, story telling, race quality, mindset, teamwork, and sheer absolute works of engineering art you all have created is one of the coolest things to see evolve and grow over the years. What an incredible life to live and story to share with us all. Thank you.
The real street guys are professional and focused. They spent all their time and energy on this moment in time. But equally professional are all the FF guys. I mean this group is just working it with all the cars, events, etc. This show was over an hour. It took me like 3 hours to watch it because I kept having to replay it because I didn't want to miss a second of the action. I think big said he edits his own stuff? Well whoever did the post production was spot frickin on.
Orange car with the 1.0 60ft has rattled my brain! Blistering fast! Wow! Snot Rocket quickly becoming a fan favorite. Seems like a rock solid rig that is currently DIALED IN! So smooth and consistent! The competition out there is no joke. Even those rotary Starlets are mind boggling fast! At least the fleet mostly survived intact 😂. Ed would be so proud of Neighbor and everything the team has achieved.
That was honestly one of the best hours of racing I've ever had the pleasure of watching! Hell yeah brother!
Over an hour long video of the boys racing is freaking epic! I was wondering where this weekends racing content was and now we know. If Cleet prefers uploading racing events like this I’ll gladly accept that. 🍻
Yup! I can definitely deal with a couple days waiting for this type of video!
I didn’t even realize I sat watching for a hour! Can’t wait for world cup
77 minutes of pure fun. I love the longer format.
The long format makes me so happy, I'm sitting here with my feet up and a beer just enjoying my night!
Little Ripper’s smile in Mullet is the best. Just shows how much Cleetus cares about his family even while racing
That was my big smile & like the video moment!
Mullet, seeing the succession of his buddies dropping out, decided to hard carry the entire team to the finals despite the non-optimal rear gear. That right there was Garrett and Mullet in *_perfect_*_ sync,_ with the perfect tune! Epic race, epic team, epic skill! Unfortunately not enough for the win in the finals, in fact too much lol, but this was amazing
Ripper in shades just melted my heart! Wait till he's showing dad up with his own toys ❤
I think the long format is perfect, Cleet doesn’t have to stay up late the day before eliminations editing a video. He can just focus on racing, which is what we’re here for.
Never thought of it that way, couldn’t agree more !
I also never thought of it like that especially with soon enough 2 youngin’s
Anybody remember when he used to get nervous at tech in? Cletus has built a heck of a team around himself that now, he doesn’t even worry when he techs the cars in. This man is the definition of solid, drama-free growth
Home track. He’s known the tech guys there for years. He’s got his stuff together with the cars too. Used to be he was unlicensed and driving Leroy with no window nets, arm restraints, and a cheap fire suit.
Drama free? Tell that to Fasterproms
Fo rizzle
@@user59371what do you mean talk to fasterproms? Is there some beef between them or something?
I remember when he got kicked because he didn't have his license, lol!
You guys do such an amazing job bringing this experience to all of us here at CZcams. I’ve never been so hyped, watching a group of guys battle it out at a drag race. Hell ya brothers!!!!
Great run, and excellent longer form video. HUGE props to the Starlet driver for being a badass, and driving as well as he did. Congrats to the crew for keeping things going!
I’ve never waited for a Cleetus McFarland video more than this one.
Dude same it was worth every second
Me to I kept checking for it
Same. I get the notifications but i would still check just in case
Leroy and mullet are both right on the cusp of being even heavier hitter than ever have been before, the blazer is blazering, jackstand is killing it in every car he drives, all the tuners are getting big with them, papaw Sam is radiating happiness, hell even cooper was making absolute rips this event!
Yes dude
Can we appreciate the fact that "Mcfarland Racing" started off more as a joke then anything and they have literally turned themselves into a world class race team.
Hell yeah brother!
John Force ain't got nothin' lol
@Boomkin316 I hope you're joking
I am @@roadhammer2380
I totally appreciate it. I believe leroy was the first thing he brought to the dragstrip doing 5th gear burnouts and then he wanted more. I've watched him almost regularly since the turbo whistles on his C7 and something to do with a balloon on his truck
Cleetus at the track with Vic is just like a kid at school and his parent is the principal 😂😂
You guys are amazing, all of you!!!! I e never ever sat through a race video before till NOW!!!! AWESOME JOB GUYS!! PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!!
Over an hour of absolutely amazing drag racing with Cletus and the crew!!! This was one of the best videos I’ve seen put together on CZcams. Thanks to all involved!!!
This borders the month of freedom
The hour long video I’ve been dreaming of 🎉
same, vids r the best
Big fan of one long video to tell the whole story of the weekend 👌🏻
Dude i didn't even realise its hour long😂
That was a blast to watch, absolutely awesome! Glad everyone's alright, especially you and Jackstand with those close calls!
i love ya man. thanks for chasing your dreams all those years ago so that i can see what its like for someone to experience that and help encourage me to do the same for myself.
youre an all around badass
I’m loving the long video. No better way to end the day. My girlfriend kept asking why I’m smiling while watching the video… a mix of George’s enthusiasm and intense drag race wins, that’s why. What a good video!
Does she really not understand entertainment, media, and emotions?
It’s awesome how stoked George gets. You can tell he’s havin the time of his life in that blazeturd.
Blazeturd 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your videos are so entertaining! Thank you very much for all the high quality good times. I rreally enjoy them.
You guys have come a long way! Very good results, thanks for posting!! Best of luck on the next one!
George with no trans brake running a 9.52 is insane. What a driver!!
AGREED, WAS AWESOME!
Honestly soooooooo cool!@@aKrekow
He was running 8.50’s in testing he had to do something to slow his roll!
@@jasonsparshott7208 yeah he had limit to 9.50 class, he can go much faster
He finally knows his truck Lol
The hard cut from George being upset about the trans and wheelie to smiling about 9.52 was great 😂
I was dying when it cut off 😭😂
That was smooth! The boy knows his ride!
This long format video was awesome! Loved every second of the 1:17:20... love you guys... Pete sure is good at doin stuff.
Great racing! Great video! Great job guys! I really enjoyed the longer video covering the whole race weekend.
Sam tapping Leroy's windshield after he checked the window net before Cleet pulled away hit me, sums up the love they all have for each other. All of these guys are a damn national treasure!
at 46:48
It’s so true. And it’s incredible they can generate enough revenue to pay for everyone’s salaries
Ed must be so damn proud. To think these guys are doing 6.89, as a warm up pass now, is absolutely insane. Props to the team, and everyone involved in building these amazing cars, and all the fans and sponsors paying for these builds 😂
I was away for a week for Canadian thanksgiving and missed all of the FL2K vids . And I click on this and see how long it is and almost shit myself 💩🤣😂. This is so freakin rad a full length video. HELL YA BROTHER 🙌🎉🎊 . Awesome job everyone 👊🤙
Videos like this are the reason I started watching Cleet. Over an hour in and I was still hoping for another hour of intense racing. What a team he has!! Great job this weekend guys!! See you at World Cup.
Love the sportsmanship!!! Let the ole boy use your shop, lose to him, and still have the humility to say, "I can be better, so I will be better next time." HELL YEA BROTHER!! Yall showed up and showed out this weekend.
Congrats bro! You guys deserve every bit of it! Y’all work your asses off for it
Had me hype the whole time love this. Video was perfect thanks for your hard work.
James is such a Legend, his knowledge is highly underrated
He'll ya check out the interview he did with vice grip garage on the orielys thing he does on the isle or from the isle I forgot the name
I'll try and link it if I remember
You ain't kidding. He's worth his weight in Gold. Automotively anyways
@ErikHyndmantoCleetus is also the editor, brains, businessman, manager, and leader.
Honestly anyone is this group is a legend
Can’t believe he flashed a bit of his time
Watching neighbor make that first pass, definitely brought a tear to my eye. DO IT FOR ED !!
Who was ed again? I can’t remember.. was it the body guy who fixed the car? Or previous owner of car
@@kevinsnyder333 Ed was one of Cleetus’ neighbors wayyyy back at the beginning of the channel. The car was bought for Ed as a “hot rod” for him and when he passed, was turned into a tribute to him.
Neighbor getting the crowd just as fired up on the strip as he does on the skid pad. Ed would be proud
“Where’s James?”
“He went back to get another car” 😂
Who else is REWATCHING these old great episodes! The whole group is talented and intelligent and HELLA FUN TO WATCH! THANKS for the great entertainment mates!!!!!!!
James is a true drag racer, took everything in his stride, cool as cucumber.
@@FinnellRacingare you saying McFarland racing isn’t professional 🤔
@@FinnellRacingI think he enjoys where he is more, I mean he has family and friends all around, gets to wrench all the time. Actual race teams is a massive amount of travel plus I’m sure ole cleet makes sure his team is very well compensated
Cleetus making the motor noises while lil Ripper smiles away is too good!
HELL YEH BROTHER!! Neighbours skid and TIME!! Love it! Mad luv from Western Australia brother!
That was amazing to watch. What a team You've got. Brilliant content. Outstanding.keep it coming. Excellent. Your the best.
Cleeter, my dude! You're out here giving us a feature film length cut of race weekend like it's nothing! Cannot wait to watch this.
Cleeter is a legend for pickin up the camera off the floor and interacting like that 😂 8:18
he's done that before
Like the long videos when it’s a weekend deal like this one it makes it a movie 🎥. When it’s other things uploads about car fixing, drifting, short races or messing around the 15-30 minute videos are great!
This wins the race for the best CZcams video of all time. You are all legends!! Loved the feature length film! So much entertainment and felt like I was right there with you guys.
I love everyone’s attitude. Literally every car got beat, wrecked, blown up, or failed in some way but everyone is still so upbeat. What an inspiration. Love these guys!!
Just wanted to say, my wife and I really enjoyed this format of editing. Really felt like we got the whole weekend experience. It didn't feel rushed, and I'm sure you didn't feel pressured to get a video out while working hard on the cars. Thank you as always boys! Keep doin' it for Dale!
😊
Wife/girl viewer here, reporting in! I loved the hour long video! We got racing excitement, funny banter amongst the boys (my favorite!), reactions to runs, Lil ripper!, fixing cars, behind the scenes fixing competitor cars at the shop, a loud Buenos Dias :), and freedom. Keep at it boys, hell yeah brother, thank you for the awesome racing and entertainment! Yee yee! (can we see more Maddie 😊)
You have enough developed one hell of a race team, keep up the great work and the video was the perfect way to end the day!!!
LETS GO!!!!!!! that was a hell of run, shout out to all the boys in the background working hard to keep the cars going Cleetus awesome driving , I couldnt stop smiling the whole video.
The growth of this channel of the years is honestly massive and inspiring! One hell of a team
Seeing little ripper sitting on dads lap with that million dollar smile was awesome!!!!! I can see cleet strapping that boy in a jr dragster before you know it! The next generation is what keeps racing alive.
Great job guys. The fleet is really looking good and running strong. Lets go.
Was legit looking for this comment, such a wholesome moment, those kids are gonna grow up to be AMAZING PEOPLE, they have an Power couple for parents, both Maddie and Garret are incredible people
Best video I’ve ever seen from you guys. Incredible. I was friggen pumped that whole time.
I’ve been watching Cleetus from the beginning and I have to say, this is probably the most intense, entertaining episodes I’ve seen since the channel’s inception!! 🏁 🇺🇸
Little man's smile when you had him in the car was priceless. He's going to have that need for speed
Multiple videos are great! Event weekends like this, I like the 1 video idea. Great job and congrats to your ENTIRE team!
Gotta Love Victors Positive attitude. We need more of Victor in Cleetus and crews videos IMO! :)
I love these hour long full weekend videos. The highs, the lows and everything in between. Highlights are great but it's the little things, like seeing Rip deciding tuning options
This was so entertaining...all 80 mins of it. No other drag racing footage online or on TV is this good. The side by side shots were 🔥
Love the longer video it was a blast to watch the whole time. It was a Rollercoaster of emotions.
Cleet! This video was sick!!!!! That's some crazy racing yall did! Had to watch it in 2 parts but all worth it! HELL YEA BROTHER!!!!!
32:33 the look James gives Cleetur knowing ol George twisted his wheel too much🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was at FL2K and saw it all. The fact cleetus and crew compete and record it all with everything that goes on with a long day of racing is insane. Not to mention, being able to still compete against the baddest! Cleet a goat.
Right? Especially running multiple cars while a lot of people focus on their one car for the event.
amazing vid, amazing effort. Heck yea Cleet, keep it rollin brother!
What a episode this was sick well done to the cleetus crew great work. It had highs and lows awesome episode.
If you told me maybe 10-15 years ago that you could crack off 220mph on a small tire my next question would have been if you were talking about a full mile.
Nuts what you and the team are out here doing.
Victor is always such a fun dude to have on the channel too, can tell he's a real one.
I haven’t been this proud of Leroy since he ran his first 7. I swear I’m just as excited as if I was in the car driving and I’m just watching a video.
So freaking pumped for drag racing season to be back in action. Keep on banging those gears Cleet.
What an amazing video cleet! Couple days late but I sure was excited to watch it once I got the notification!
Rips face when he was driving mullet 😂 definitely a proud dad moment
Man Mr. Sam is such an MVP !!! 77 years young and he's EVERYWHERE !!! Wrenching and polishing in the pits, at the starting line, the guy is a living LEGEND !!! Such an inspiration.
much love always!! stay up and keep moving on like you do as always
