George driving a 2 hours commute and still showing up with that kind of energy is a testament to the mans work ethic. That's nuts. I used to complain about my 1 hour drive into the city and got a work from home job.

[@KriegerDelfin24]

[@lunchboxproductions1183]

I'm guessing George makes enough money to make it worth his while, plus he's having fun the entire time he's at work so that helps.

[@eddieshabazz5603]

Remember that the dude lucked out by scoring a pretty fun job so when you do something that you enjoy than it makes it easy and gets you excited about coming into work right!!. Cleetus did him a real solid by hooking him up with the camera man position because Remember it started getting pretty obvious that he didn't really have an actual title besides hype man in all reality. Truthfully he can't fabricate or do anything mechanically where he is an asset he is just fun to have around and people like the dude. I think it was a good call because I can tell you that his buddy Cooper actually made me unsubscribe for a while because I couldn't stand his useless commentary as I'm sure thousands of others so by reading the comments once in awhile it's obvious he was a dynamite choice to throw into the mix

[@PlasmaOscillations]

Seriously I would have hoped he was able to move closer by now, but I don't know his family circumstances.

[@jerseylife8701]

No offense to any of the other guys because there’s not a single guy I don’t like on this channel but Jimmy and George are two gems in a sea of rocks. I’m so glad you guys found each other in this life and create this content for us to live vicariously through you.

I have to wait for cleetus new video before watching any of the 1320 videos. Great stuff guys!

[@danielscanlanrealestate]

We did this in another sport and the only way to make it work is you have to sell the car to any competitor at the end of the season in race trim.

[@daveh.354]

Back in the day when Fun Ford Weekend was a thing, I did a $5000 race series they had once that was kind of like this. Three races, Atlanta, Bristol, and Richmond. The car had to be worth $5000 or less and it was judged by the tech staff. There weren't many participants unfortunately but it was fun. I didn't have the fastest car but ended up winning when the other guy red lit in the final. I bet with the attention now that Cleet is doing it, it may be more popular in the future. I'd definitely do it again.

[@LewdnCute]

If they made an official budget class am sure it would be riddled with cheating, using clout to get deals, etc. wouldn’t be very fair to any average Joe.

[@xhxixaxcxrxex]

the only way to enforce a budget cap in racing is if someone asks to buy your car for the budget cap, you have to sell it to them. For instance, if the cap is $7,500, at the end of the race any of the entrants could ask to buy any other entrant's car for $7,500, and they have to sell it to them, or they lose their results. it's the only way to keep people honest.

This is what drag and drive is all about... I'm glad Cleetus is getting back to his roots and just having a good time! It's not always about winning! It's about getting from A to B doing whatever you have to do to finish the race and have a good time doing it. It doesn't take thousands of dollars or 2000 hp

no doubt. 2 motors, 1 with fresh parts, 2 oil changes, plus having people besides him and george work on the car. he might want to forget about the whole budget/rules thing at this point

Honestly, the way you guys come up with "grey area" solutions just adds to the peak level of entertainment that makes these challenge videos so fun to watch. All of you have found grey areas or "cheats" at one point or another throughout the years of these shenanigans. Unless its blatant, outright cheating that really does something major to the performance of the car and tips the scales massively, let it slide... or better yet, find a greyer area yourself!

[@John_Conner222]

lol the trash talking, shady deals, pushing grey areas, Cleetus annotating the video and chiming in, the cheatcusations, analyzing each others budgets,... this is prime Cleetus content. It's so good you got other people getting involved and even Tom Brady wanting to ditch his pro mod to join in. That says alot. I know I need to get me a big giant food truck where the side opens up and turn it into a parts and supplies trailer and follow these races. Having stuff on hand to sell seems like a good way to make some extra cash for desperate racers. Cleetus pulling up to the turbo booth and literally buying it and slapping it on the car was something I don't think anyone has ever experienced.

[@cocowoody3556]

George finishes an engine swapping busting it out in hours. Then starts it and immediately wants to hear it on the chip 😂 what a freaking legend 👏

[@justinappling614]

Can we talk about the amount of respect that James has in the racing community to be able to just go ask for whatever he needs and people give it to him. It also speaks volumes about the community itself and its willingness to help out. It’s not cheating to get deals. Sorry brother!

[@Renee_R343]

I like James, but that is cheating. Why even set a budget then? That is not fair for the others, especially Tye and Zach. They agreed at the start that all the parts will be valued at fair market price. It's not like he is racing someone that disrespected him and he has to pull out all the stops to destroy the others. Just some fun between friends.

[@solatyn]

I'm pretty sure James also bought into motion when cleetus did, so that's not really a respect thing, he just hit up one of his co owners 😅
