Uhh seeing as how he was actually paying them for the work they were doing and the dude was hardcore upselling him on stuff he didn't even want to do, "cause he was already there" (which is a sales tactic as old as time) they really don't. Sales people always give their friends "deals" because it makes them money but if they were good friends they wouldn't be selling them on more than what they wanted to do. Especially when it's someone who has a ton of other work to do on the place.

Dirt track for the other guys out back 😉

[@MrJamesBanana]

Suggestion: Add some dirt road sections in the infield, to make it possible to host Rallycross events in the future. In Sweden and Finland, grassroot rallycross (Folkrace) is a really big sport and a great way to introduce people into racing. No need to make it fancy, just some very small jumps and a couple of turns. For Folkrace, the track shall be so twisty that the speeds does not exceed 80 kmh (50mph), so that might be a good guide :)

[@richardmcdaniel3108]

Cleeter, there’s a ton of us freedomers that understand how expensive this endeavor is and would like to help out. How about letting people donate and start a wall or lane at the track that will have all the names of donors on display. That way we can help and be a part of history in the making.

CJ Johnson I think he’s trying to do what is interesting to his crowd first (burnouts, drifting, etc) first and then move on to the circle track. Not saying there isn’t a huge crowd of his viewers who like circle track stuff but content wise it’s a much greater return of investment to do the skid pad and corners first and eventually move to the whole track. Who else thinks this place would be great for FD or a PROAM feeder series? Big bank, tight technical infield, back to the opposite bank!

Natural Progression something made out of a bad ass movie!

[@woodwardjr]

I was thinking the same thing... Something special about it.

[@seanwalter9383]

It's funny because I'm from this area in Florida so I know exactly which day that was filmed. Last week. One particular day was extremely foggy.

[@Danger-Dave]

Kinda like a quiet early morning on the lake fishing... But I believe that fog may have been a harbinger of burnouts to come!

[@2076649]

Nah that just some tire smoke.

[@Idividezero]

When I was a double belly dump driver, we had some downtime at the quarry, and the loader operator let me "play" with the controls a bit. With a Volvo 750hp wheel loader, and a bucket that could fit a Ford Super Duty inside. It is exactly as cool as you're imagining it.

[@squiggly_lines]

The boys at the quarry used to give me a small piece of the explosive they used so I could chew on it to get rid of a headache if I had one, it worked.

[@Joe-nr9xf]

Just subscribed, watched a handful previous videos but what your doing to this abandoned track is amazing and going to be epic when finished, look forward to many more videos on it as well as watching many of your older videos!

[@gabesgarage3131]

Dude, Cleetus that's so awesome! Y'all made SO much progress in a DAY! Won't be long til all this hard work comes to fruition. Y'all freakin deserve it bro. Hopefully yall make it back to LS Fest and Ford fest in Bowling Green this coming later this year. Y'all put on a helluva show and continue to raise the bar, drifting, etc..👍🍺

[@DeadLegMedia]

Can’t wait to look back at this video in a few years after formula D starts being held at the FF

[@Toxic2T]

true

[@jakesmall3454]

Hell yeah

[@caseypaterson6015]

I was just thinking the same thing. Especially with his connections to a few of the FD guys and them being friends with a lot of the other FD drivers I think for sure it will be held at the Freedom factory within the next few years.

[@JamalsGarage]

What Cleetus meant to say: "We were going to do asphalt, but James would tear it up in a day" LOLOLOLOLOL

[@amstv_yt]

This is my favorite not car related video I've watched on KZbin. Mostly heavy equipment at work and the whole thing was awesome.

[@Roarman57]

Wow I just looked back and I have watched every single video you have made for the past year fully not skipping a bit you’re killing it keep doing what you do

[@caseypaterson6015]

I have a feeling with Cleetus's connections with the formula drift guys like Vaughn, Chelsea and Adam. That we will see the formula drift season come to the freedom factory within the next few years.

[@degax203]

nah he just ruined it for drifting...

[@aaronfoulk9849]

I hope so!

@@degax203 i dont think so look how OSW has a FD pro 1 and 2 event and ist just an ovle with a small cross this looks really much perfevt for fd know with the big bunr out box you can evry event a difrent course

[@Cobourn003]

@@degax203 how so? Look at irwindale. Banked track with a paved infield and its one of the favourite tracks among the driver's and spectators.

[@Lil_Dill4]

could u imagine FD working with Cleetus to have an event here in the FD season. IK they have an event there at Orlando Speed World but imagine they switch to this venue.

[@killersof10]

I don't see FD having an event there due to Orlando Speed World being so close. However, I can see it turning into an extra side fun event like what happens in both Midpond and Pat's Acres

[@christopherhuber2517]

Glad you got some skilled guys to help fix the whole problem. Amazing guys

[@tylermartinkus1107]

I love what you are doing!!! And I definitely think you should utilize your property and access material from the "infield " and make a jump or track for more events. Seat time is what us operators call experience at the joysticks or levers. Rock on!

[@cnoreen8732]

This episode should have been titled “cleetur vs budget”

[@ZLT_90]

I have a feeling he waited for Cooper to take a vacation before this one. Cooper is kinda the same "let's think about this first" kinda guy. Lol

[@Ghilliebandits]

@@ZLT_90 see its usually cooper on his left shoulder saying hey take it easy bud and James on his right screaming full send

Brother, you are changing the game for car KZbinrs! You're setting the freaking bar so high! No matter who has what cars, or does crazy stuff, you will always have them toppped! The Freedom Factory is going to change the game man, and I am here for it!! Can't wait to watch this thing turn into the most amazing epicenter of freedom!! 🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅

[@jamesgittings3527]

True ! Even better fact of a legit guy like Cleet doing all this rather then the typical scabs. If all falls as planned this really will be a fun zone.

It will all be worth it. You're doing the right thing. Can't wait to see the finished product. 🤘🏼 SEND IT!

Man it's looking amazing already cleeter! I really hope those folks down there in FL are super proud of you and what you're doing here.. after all they're the ones that will be able to enjoy high quality entertainment more than anyone else. I can't wait to see the next video 😁

We put down a concrete burnout pad for our annual Street machine Show in Kandos Australia back in 1999.So after 20 years of Skids it is still the original concrete surface with no imperfections at all. And you know how good us Aussies are at smashing tyres!
