Breaking All the Rules For Our Best Event Ever...

1 MONTH AWAY!!! GRAB TICKETS HERE - tickets.thefoa...

[@fiestaturbo]

I wish there was a channel that solely films the day to day antics of the FF staff. I wanna see it getting tidied, improved, painted, deliveries, ups and downs... the full buna. Its really interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff

[@glazetrain]

This

[@theonebushman6778]

I agree

[@mikescherrer4923]

would you want people watching you work like that? You don't think these guys wanna turn the camera off and use the F word occasionally? They aren't dancing monkeys.

[@AndrewK2020]

That’s what this channel should be

[@chrislongbeard]

Them and the merch crew.

[@Arcturuseyes]

Offer ticket packages to local tech schools to bring people in, those kids will love it.

[@TheHungrySlug]

Sounds like you are trying to recruit them to work as a pit crew. For the work experience, of course.

[@CarsCatAliens]

Hell yeah man, Tech schools are a GREAT resource, and an investment into the future (for the serious ones) I went to a tech school and was already years ahead of others my age.. It allowed to me work in my industry in the morning, then 2 blocks (double classes) in the afternoon. Then id go to my morning job after school, or My other industry job.. Was working 60 hrs. a week (by choice) and going to school

[@bigdfitness5020]

​@@CarsCatAliensgood for you

[@bigpimpin3098]

Move the gas pedal over to the passenger side. Driver steers and brakes, passenger accelerates. I've suggested this idea before and hoping Cleetus sees it sometime. I think this would make for a fun race!

[@TheHungrySlug]

double decker car racing. Like we do for fun here in Australia. Top car steers and the bottom car brakes and accelerates. Maybe double decker Crown-Vics. I'd watch that for $20.

[@brendononeal3663]

Sounds dangerous

[@philb5593]

@@brendononeal3663 Yeah, I think Cleetus has mentioned this before, the risk of that is so high. Twice the people, half the skill, massive liability.

[@fast97z24]

Suggest all you want, Garrett McFarland doesn't read the comments.

[@mikescherrer4923]

They used to do that at my local circle track. It was amazing. They also did boat/trailer races and stuff. Then the Californians playing Dutton moved in and now the circle track is a baseball field. Progress.

[@civicsr2cool]

[@nickh5450]

Nah y'all broke

[@ddxs12]

I don't get how these events aren't completely sold out with a waiting list each time. If I didn't live on the other side of the country I'd go to every single one. Thank goodness for the PPV.

[@sheldongoossen9771]

Right!

[@PreludeDude]

Well it actually is kinda of out in the middle of nowhere... Florida is a huge state, so anyone travelling there would pretty much be dedicated to only going out to Bradenton. I had considered going to the Danger Ranger but it would have been about $800 for my travels to make that happen.

[@DSMjake]

Dude it sounds like a must If i we're on the other Side of the country... Im at the other Side of earth 😭

[@indianaslim4971]

Why spend $40 to watch crown Vic's race when you can go to any number of dirt/asphalt ovals and watch a full evening of racing with 3-4 classes for anywhere from $12-$20 ?

[@chilkat_river]

[@b-rad3423]

A guy wonders how many crown Vic’s Travis Pastrana can jump on Cleets CR500?

[@ZeroScapes]

Great idea, id love to see that!

[@D_Trade]

And if Travis saw this, he'd show us all how many just because it was mentioned and the fun of it lol

[@Brad-py7sj]

[@DailyElectrician]

YEAR OF FREEDOM!!!!

[@jpcog]

My wife and I enjoyed Pitt passes for Danger Ranger 9000 as usual, and the Pro Trucks kicked some ass as well, so we just purchased our two-day passes for November 17th & 18th, and highly recommend a Cleetus event no matter what's going on! We have been going since day one and have NO plans to STOP anytime soon!!! 🤠

[@bigcncguy]

Hell yeah brother

[@deejuschrist]

should bring some local bands to come perform live make it a whole friggin event

[@cameronyartz1424]

This is a good idea!!

[@ninja4187]

Just speaking for myself. Work and life is what's keeping me from going. Don't have the time or money to make it.... but, maybe someday I'll be able to. Much LOVE though Cleeter McSkeeter

[@Dealete420]

And, NOT everyone is into Cleetus and or these type of events

[@TrevDog513]

Same goes for me. I had hard enough time convincing two friends to go to Cleetus and Cars Indy for the day and that's only 2hrs from me. I don't think they will be going ever again. Eventually I'll make it down to Bradenton maybe in a couple years when I can afford a camper and can plan to camp.

[@fast97z24]

Better get on it, this track won't be open in 2 years.

[@jakecombs04]

Hey guys, an actual demo derby would be cool in the burnout pad! I love watching things getting smashed up and I bet they could get some wheel speed down there for some great hits!

[@tiaseanetherton8626]

Pretty sure the second part of your comment is why nearly all demo derby’s are on very wet dirt

[@chrisdobbs9155]

Thanksgiving and a month from Christmas is why you're having trouble selling out. For people in and around central Florida it's not a problem to make it but for the rest of us that's a big trip when we probably have another big trip and a couple big events in a short period of time. You gotta start trying to get more locals that aren't Cleetus viewers to come out. Make some appearances or advertise at the other local tracks like showtime and OSW if you aren't already. Maybe include some local racers and have a figure 8 shootout or late models or something run a short race.

[@MikeFL2TX]

Yoho won’t help with advertising these events.

[@elmeesio]

So excited to be at the event! Coming all the way from the Netherlands to be there 🇺🇸🇱🇺

[@revtoyota]

The timing of the event can be an issue for some with Thanksgiving right around the corner. I wish I could make it but work comes first. I hope its available in 4-6 months on the site when I get back on dry land.

[@G0FASTDONTDIE]

You have such a good Community of Fans, just talking about "Selling it out" & this Video, will motivate everyone to SELL IT OUT!!

[@aproudamerican2692]

I'm a disabled retired firefighter on hospice. If I could get to Florida from Arkansas I would but driving that far with my son that helps me it's going to be too much on me. I would love to beable to fly there but funds are tight. I'll definitely be watching on PPV as I always do. *🏁Get some butts in the seat boys 🏁*

[@relaxingdrives6075]

Cleeter might I suggest zoysia grass. All you do is put in plugs from existing grass. It spreads quickly all by itself and is for full sun. The spots that get messed up are naturally filled in as it spreads. Its very thick but turns brown during winter (which really isn’t much or an issue in Florida).

[@Dbridgeman03]

hes got some kind of st augustine blend in there now, apparently it manages the heat and destruction real well and he can just get a pallet to repair it.

[@wrifraff]

Allyn the Lawn Care Nut has him covered!

[@charlesbilodeau6916]

So much FREEDOM 🇺🇸 🦅

[@imchris5000]

you guys need to do a figure 8 demolition derby race with camper trailers as a finisher. its going to be a chaotic mess but it really draws a crowd

[@mrd0inme]

Sounds like a job for WhistlinDiesel and MonsterMax to tear up some Freedom Factory grass 😂

[@EthanRamey-mr2lh]

Monstermax is broken

[@lawabidingdad]

He just broke it freaking cody

[@bloggs24]

Should keep the burnout pad simple for competition. The loop section would be a good spot for open spectator burnouts similar to Aussie's Tuff Street from Summernats, put up concrete barriers and chain fencing and let people get right up close to the action. Another Idea Cleetus could consider is hosting a Powercruise around the local area that leads back to the Freedom Factory.

[@ryansanders2042]

@1:27 Casually "sorting-out" the driveway at 100mph was too funny. Seemed like even George was a bit nervous haha

[@JacksonOffroad25]

Need some interior track atv barrel races! Slap some dirt down and have that open up the show for a pre show while people flow in

[@robertlawler1387]

That willnt bring in the big money

[@nicolasrulli]

I feel a raffle for a day with cleet and the gang would be sick. Auto entry upon admission. Or put some sort of motion x cleetus product up for someone to win. Cleetus merch package?

[@edwardspaccarelli5944]

A hot lap with a member of the Cleeter Race Team?

[@piercer4882]

You should setup a go cart/pro shifter cart track with all that extra land you have.. I bet tons of people would want to go cart after watching races or the kids riding during races, etc.. not to mention the pro races to bring in more admissions!

Props to the crew to stepping this years event up to the next level. Let’s gooooo bois!!!!!!!

[@mdsuave13]

Any thoughts on the fact that inflation has made cost crazy for everyone??

[@walnutkraken9430]

Facts

[@indianaslim4971]

Obviously not, charging $40 for a ticket when a person can go to their local track for $12-$20 and see 3-4 classes of actually competitive racing for the entire night, no air fare/hotel/10 hr. drive... I'll always give my money to a local track.

[@mikeritchie492]

I must say these guys that are jumping these trucks have balls of steel. Love it can’t wait.

[@ThatTruckerCarGuy]

The only thing stopping me from going is having to travel. I would need time off and it would cost hundreds of dollars. If I lived in Florida, I would be there for sure😢

[@airaksinenaapo]

You’ll have to promote the event on the main channel too!! Gonna be a spicy one!🔥🔥

[@yeahyeahwhatevershutup]

Another thing to consider is plane ticket prices! Thanksgiving always drives up the prices around that time. Could've also been another reason why.

[@CC-mb8fi]

Cleetus As a civil and structural engineer i would suggest you check to make sure the monster trucks clear your track The speed and weight of those trucks impacting your track on landing could potentially destroy the track..... Just saying

[@SkinnyPedalMotorsports]

I think it needs some new drivers. Spread out to more KZbinrs

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Absolutely!

[@SledgeHammer43]

Have you considered lengthening the track to .75 or even 1 mile. Then increasing the seating for bigger purses, and concerts. You need to make the track a event center, and/or a test center for drivers. The more uses the more profitable. First look at increasing the capacity.

[@StudioBeast7575]

It sounds like an amazing time I wish I lived closer I'd definitely love to see it. I also can't watch on PPV because of a really s**t signal. I hope to see some videos from you guys later about it.

[@bryanp.1327]

If I could I would! I brought my car down from Maryland using the Amtrak auto train back at your first public event, had a blast. Got sunburnt all to heck, but that was fun. All the way in Michigan now as a first time homeowner and already used a ton of PTO this year. Looking forward to the PPV!

[@DefyJiinx]

I think it would help if the other KZbinrs involved also promoted it

[@ZeroScapes]

He doesn't pay them, and he said hes not going to make them promote his events. He said "if they make a post, cool, if not, no problem, I just want everyone to have fun".
