    I grew up in this area. Last time I was on that track I was 17. I’ve always missed it. My dad and uncles raced there. I’ve been a long time cletus fan and when I heard he bought it I thought about moving back to Florida as I’ve relocated to Washington state some years ago.
    But work and family prevents that move but I did fly my ass from Washington state to Florida to go this event and let me tell you driving up to the tank brought back tons of memories I even had to hold back some tears. I wish my dad was still around as he would have loved seeing the track againI had a blast. Thank you cletus and family for what your doing and what you have done. I will be back again for another event.

    To all the Freedom Factory guys. I came across your video of opening night by chance, I am a Nascar fan from the old school days. I live in Riverside California, and you may know that back then the ( Winston Cup Series ) came to Riverside Raceway twice a year. They were my 2 most favorite days of the year, and actually they were 4 days to us who enjoyed camping in the infield... Sleeping in the back of my 1969 Chevrolet pick up truck. Anyway when they tore down the track it was a huge ordeal for me and sadly closed a chapter of my life. Since then I have always been interested in watching videos on abandon race tracks, that is how I clicked on to yours. But let me tell you I am so impressed with what you have done and the passion you have for your track. I can not count how many times I smiled at your joy of opening night. That would of been awesome to be a part of that and I am positive it was a great time for all that was there. Congratulations on your achievements. Inspiring to say the least. I am going to try to visit the Freedom Factory one of these days. Way to go ! Brian Petereit Riverside California.

      Have main back road/path road where people can drive laps/U-turn. As long as they are not over the limit, not getting too wild, rev engines, lil mini spins etc(But even that's pushing it). But honestly think that would be amazing.
      Plus promo women ;) & maybe like random crowd member gets a chance to be a passenger in drifting couple laps with Cleetus or Vaughn Jnr?
      Depends how maybe you could do the raffle/prize etc. And all that !!
      Then adding & inviting other CZcamsr's that are into car scene etc. So much potential and vision I'm seeing. Good luck and god bless Cleetus lad :) lol, some random Aussie fan and I'm excited and thinking of ways to make best event haha.

    Not gonna lie, this made me a little emotional. You've worked so damn hard for the Freedom Factory, and your dedication to making it as good as it can be is clear to all of us. You've brought so many people together already, and gotten a large portion of the community involved with the merch sales. If anyone is deserving the success, its you, Garrett. You never take anything for granted, and you're always thankful for the people who support you. You are one of the greatest influencers on this platform, teaching people that if you try hard enough, anything is possible. If there's one thing that stands out the most, it's your humility. You never put yourself on top of others, even for us fans. You interact with us as individuals instead of "just another fan" like other youtubers. That is what makes me respect you the most.
    I'll raise a glass to you. Congrats on the first public Freedom Factory event, and here's to many others in the future! Looking forwards to the future event videos!

The fact that there is no garbage for you to clean up is a testament to your character as a man, as the owner, and to the whole McFarland/ Freedom Factory brand. You guys show everybody the highest level of respect and in turn people are going to show you the utmost respect in return.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see, in 5 to 10 years, the FF with a giant parking garage out by the road and several new on and off road tracks on the property making it the premier motorsports park on the east coast.

    To everyone that went to the freedom factory give yourself a pat on the back. Its just amazing to hear how you guys didn't trash the place and treated the place as your own. This means a lot to all of us who support Cleetus and The Freedom Factory. This means more events for us to attend and watch here on CZcams. Thank you!!!!

    Well done Cleetus and Team! I really enjoyed this video and it felt different from any other video. I've been following FF since you first showed it to us and it feels like I'm part of the journey. This is super exciting stuff. I can only wish for the best for you and the team and the FF. Hopefully one day I can visit and support FF as I am from South Africa.

    Imagine having the guts to drop out of law school and follow a dream that probably seemed silly at times to other people. Imagine how much grit it would take to follow that through all the ups and downs. Then imagine the feeling of pride as people started flooding through the gates! Hell yeah brother! Congrats Garrett! You’re doing it man.

      There's a place in Brisbane Australia that hosts events (when COVID isn't an issue) and they regularly post about not having to pick up a single piece of rubbish at the end of the event. It is a much smaller event scale though. I love it when people are respectful like that.

      Absolutely. He stood there for hours doing a meet and greet on one of the turns of the track with dozens of fans, giving them all a decent amount of time to hang out, talk, and take multiple photos with him. I've seen him do the same at Cleetus and Cars, but he really seems genuinely happy to stand there and meet the people who love his content and make the Freedom Factory possible.
