[@Moore_Power]

I didn't see a pressure switch on the small well. If you leave a well running without a pressure switch, it will eventually burn up. I think the rule of thumb for filling pools from one of the pool installers I work around (Pool Drs. of Charlotte), is 45 mins on, 15 mins off. Or... just install a pressure switch. $15.00 part at the Depot. Love you guys. Keep up the good work! Hopefully I'll see you in April!

[@ddddevyn]

Amen to never turning on a well pump with no flow. Running 100% flow non stop is way less harmful then full stop

[@D00MSAYER101]

A pressure switch on that wells setup will do more harm than good, a pressure switch is used for pressure control in conjunction with a pressure tank. Without the pressure tank the pump will cycle on and off anytime water is used, unless you are flowing enough water to keep the pressure lower than the cut off point. With how it's set up now it'll be better to run non stop as long as its moving water, you never want to dead head (ie stopping the flow of water) the pump.

[@tmerema]

Did you guys not see the tank early in the shot?

Look again appears to be a pressure tank with switch

mike conrad R10 gps reciever and base our pretty good, I use them as a land surveyor, I also use a TSC7 data collector. As far as an excavator being able to upload data utilizing a gps reciever such as an R10 and building perfectly level is far fetched. Gps equipment even top of the line R10 recievers are only accurate to a tenth of a foot for elevations which is fine for dirt work but perfectly level or on a perfect grade that was designed on TIN in civil 3D is not possible there will always be differences between the model and whats actually built. Usually when excavating trenches they use a linkin rod that is hooked up to a laser level that will tell them they are at the correct cut or fill depth. Land leveling is where the gps shines. Again a tenth of a foot is negligable when grading dirt. But if your dealing with supers and asphalt work you wan’t finish grade stakes that were calculated using conventional equipment such as a total station.

"This time on Extreme Makeover: Racetrack Edition" Its amazing to see how the track is turning out. I'm sure I can speak for alot by saying thank you for saving the track. It's better to see it change and evolve into the Fantasy Factory, that fall to ruin and become just another forgotten track. That's awesome sir.

Nice job bro. Take some of that dirt and build an RC track. I promise you the children and families will gravitate to your raceway and vice versa. Cheers!

Love this content! Soooo interesting. No clickbate guys talking about millions of dollar remodel and new homes coming to the channels that never show up. Real stuff right here boys.

[@gregorygrimaldi9030]

That’s gonna be bad ass. I see a lot of “do it for dale” moments in the coming years.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Well done young man and crew. It appears you're attempting to cover as many of your bases as you can. It also looks like you're doing things right the first time. Saving as much money as you can while also making sure what you're doing today doesn't have to be completely redone in a few short years due to cost cutting. For a first time track owner what you're doing is truly amazing to watch talk about a dream come true. The Freedom Factory is going to be home to so much high quality content in the future, (quite honestly it already is), and I can see your attention to detail is going to pay off big time... The fact that on top of the tremendous amount of work that this massive project is you're still attempting to bring us quality content. As the transformation continues this lofty goal on your part speaks volumes to the quality of character and work ethic you have young man. As well as your dedication to your fans and making sure they get to come along for the ride. Truly Epic and I for one have nothing but respect for you and your entire crew...

[@raylandwhitehead3458]

Mjr Burn... I agree 💯!!! This young man should be an inspiration for many Car Guys and Girls... He could be doing anything else and leave the work entirely to a Job Foreman but he's not like that. He's a "hands on" type. He does admit that he doesn't "know it all" but he's right in there learning. He has some great friends with him all the time. I could go on and on about Cleetus but I won't!!! I'm even enjoying this "down time" footage showing how much work they're doing to the Freedom Factory! I've been a Car Guy since the late 60's... Oh, and l'm 66 years young. GREAT WORK YA'LL 👍

Use all that dirt for dirt bikes, quads and side by sides. You could have 2 types of racing out there, 3 if you include the drag strip.

Watching all this again and the only thing I can think about is the impassioned speeches at the Manatee County hearing.., especially Cleeters closing words about handing the track over to his son.., powerful stuff.

I may never get to see this place but it’s been a hell of a journey with you and the crew. Keep doing what you’re doing and never stray too far from the track you made. You’ve taught us that when you run outta road, just make your own. Stay safe brothers!

Gotta give them workers a shout out, they've moved some ground in a short time. I'm sure they know who the jobs for and are willing to put in the overtime. Love your channel and what it represents, shifting gears and drinkin beers

[@Thebadbeaver9]

"If I leave rj here by himself, he will mill every hole in the track..." sounds like a good idea lol..........

[@iamapotato]

Yeah well then he'll have to fill more parts of the track, and that will increase the cost. Ol' cleet just being financially conscious.

Cleetus is building his shred kingdom. He has summoned all the automotive lords in the land to help him craft a shrine to the motor gods. Im all for it

[@FishNFoolLures]

you should postpone the asphalt because you will never be able to compact the pavement next to the forms without blowing them out, If you put in the concrete first it will work 1000 times better.

[@chrismarsh7476]

My thoughts too. Could end up with issues years down the track. Having said that the construction guys seem to be pretty onto it!

[@IohsmdIglomdrnIjsmsIhafmIafmli]

This exactly

[@fiat38]

With concrete being more dense it can blow out forms just as easy. On another note it's as simple as rescheduling the asphalt because the asphalt may not be available right away depending on the asphalt companies wait times/scheduling. If the forms do blow out while the asphalt is being compacted it is easier to saw cut the asphalt than to contain a concrete blowout.

[@mitchevans1692]

I bet the hardest part for cleet is waiting for the concrete to cure, he's going to be looking at it and want to let the eagles fly....

[@jammin2070]

Mitch Evans doesn’t sound like he’s gonna let it cure for 20 days

It could be ready to drive on with calcium or another additive in the matter of days. As dry as it is there the moisture will be pulled out from the bottom of the mud fairly quickly.

Please consider putting a location on the skid pad with sprinklers that can spray water for a wet skid pad, you’ll be the only one in the state with a wet skid pad and will bring in way more people interested in not roasting their tires, plus potentially classes that could be taught in the future 🤘🏻
