Cleetus McFarland vs Travis Pastrana: Twin Turbo Vette vs Gymkhana 2020 Subaru STI! // Flying Finish

You asked, we listened… kinda. You guys have wanted to see ‘ol Cleetus on this show for quite a while. Unfortunately both of Mr. McFarland’s personal cars that were out on the West Coast were down due to explosions happening where they weren’t supposed to happen… but he was a good sport and borrowed a buddies’ twin turbo ‘Vette to race us in instead. Because he’s an absolute champ. AND… the finish might just surprise you.

James motor I'm not even sure why it blew up but it did and badly and their spare engine they bought and swapped in overnight got metal through the motor so it needed a full rebuild.
