[@NickPDX22]

You guys gunna have a window net installed on JR before giveaway?

[@MichaelSmith-jv7zm]

About the last video I thought about this and decided to comment on today's upload.... You being such a big influence on KZbin why drive like an A-hole on public streets. I've been watching this channel since the beginning and yeah you have come a long ways so that's means you putting the passengers life at risk your own and other people. You have a kid now you have many employees relying on you and if you're dead in the ditch that isn't doing anyone any good. Not even a helmet.

[@mrwinston_thepug]

​@@billmadison2032only bad luck if one believes in that crap

[@CleetusM]

Everyone that’s been asking for a track day this is about the most traction you get on 100+ degree days!

[@WeeVideos]

Can we get a freedom factory track update? Inc all track vehicles

[@kevy003]

Sorry the supra didn't survive to make it to this track day

[@lesserlogic9977]

I haven't been one of the people complaining, maybe watching just a hair less content, but I still enjoyed this video and I'm not done

[@John-hw3ds]

I'm live in Clearwater, and it's been unbelievably hot. I could not imagine putting on your fire suits to race in the middle of the day. You need to be filming out on the water!

[@TheByrnes1]

I'm 100% impressed with Leroy Jr. what an impressive build for such a short time. If I would be lucky enough to win, I'm 200% taking Jr!!!

[@BigZeus]

Sam running up to the line and still got pep in his step, such a legend.

[@Sk1m_Beeble]

Saw him hop down off a car trailer a video or 2 ago, I can only hope to be half as agile at his age

[@jaysco2293]

Sam is in fact a LEGEND shines up the vehicles plus he knows lots about being a mechanic (“are those 99’s?) lol

[@Watthead80]

Man you just can't beat the sound of a super charger. Amazing how different the sound is from the front to the rear.

[@williamstamper442]

Screw chargers sound like that. Sounds like a new kind of firework brand fresh out of china spinning on the sidewalk

[@onefastboi14]

It’s why I love my S/C V8 sedan. Nothing else like Supercharger Whine

[@kasper_429]

Yup. Definitely cannot beat the sound of a twin-screw/positive displacement style supercharger on a beefy American V8 engine. The whine when you're in front of it (or in the seat), then the growl from the exhaust behind it. So good!

[@scottsmith1525]

I still remember you guys trying to hit 9s with the OG Leroy. 😂

[@FloorItDuh]

Feels like a lifetime ago. What a ride it has been.

[@GlizzyGlockzJoee]

James is truly at home at the drag strip. He looks genuinely happy talking about the times . 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@theprodigytm63]

FR. Hes always got a smile but its even bigger when he's at the track and its awesome

[@Nothingbutnet9]

There is not one KZbinr or racer that I have heard describe in detail, the ins and outs of each run at the track, better than Jackstand

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

"I live my life a quarter-mile at a time" - -Dominic Toretto- Jackstand Jimmy

[@400_billion_suns]

He’s definitely a racer at heart. He has his own drag car that isn’t really part of this channel, but makes a rare appearance.

[@fullsendmarinedarwin7244]

Isn’t that the whole joke of “Jackstand” jimmy? Because the nova is always up on jackstands

[@Allu681]

10:20 That made me smile. Both Leroy Jr and Leroy running against eachother on a dragstrip. It's like old Leroy vs current Leroy. Small things can make us happy. Hell yeah brother. 🤘

[@brandall2270]

The interior shot of the C7 pass is a blast from the past. That car is so bad ass.

[@craighendrix9719]

I know people ages 20-40 and can’t stand 90 degree heat outside yet great ole Sam out there tuffing it out hanging out with the boys….. he is a rare breed!!

[@Okpaintguy2]

Hey ! That’s me and my dad leaning on the fence ! So cool to pop in on this . We just stopped in for a pic of the track

[@SkyhawkCaptain]

The part at 10:20 is surreal, its like watching Leroy race his past self. Nice!

[@korbinmuir3358]

You know like in racing games when you try to beat your best time and there will be a ghost of your best run. That’s what that reminded me of😂

[@SkyhawkCaptain]

@@korbinmuir3358 exactly!

[@toolologist6274]

I got lots of entries. Just gimmie that bad ass Leroy Jr baby!!! That Antfarm thing is just a thing, Leroy Jr is an American icon, a legend, a grand automotive compilation of performance and ballz, something any gear head would be proud to lay down rubber with. Send it my way Cleet!

[@33LeRoy33]

It’s the pure focus on your face when rowing gears in the Bald Eagle Machine that really does it for me!! Good old classic track day video HELL YEAH BROTHER!!

[@joeplem5329]

His "oh fuck/driving face" gets me every time lol!!!!

[@marktuminaro4782]

Cleet, want you and the crew to know I appreciate you. I was recently on a stree corner of Cartegena, Colombia wearing a “Pistons, Rods, and Dad bods” shirt and saw a dude wearing a FF straw hat. Had to say what’s up and let you know freedom is alive everywhere.

[@Toxic2T]

Indeed I got a plotter cutter on my work I'm gonna use it to print some Cleetus McFarland letters to place on my car back window.

[@nathanreed2610]

This is going to be a TOUGH decision… Kinda wanna see Leroy Jr. Stay in the channel though

[@cutlass8783]

I know, I think it's more usable than the Atom for them

[@leonardochaves6236]

Well, they need a drag and drive Leroy

[@neilbrown82]

Ya eco turd or 4L slippy 5e

[@supra1jzed]

I legit think I'd struggle. The Leroy Jr. is pretty cool and badass but I REALLY like corners and road coursing. The Atom would still demolish it there but it certainly doesn't have the cool factor over the Vette anymore. I've driven a couple Atoms out at VIR and it's quite a track toy. It's scary how easily they will do sub 2 minutes on the full course where you need to wheel TF out of a SE46 to get 2:05s

[@nathanreed2610]

@@Jbutzloff8588 haha no sir

[@WowCreativeUsername]

On one side, any long term fan would love Leroy Jr. but on the other side, that Atom would be so much fun to drive.

[@timzimmer2686]

Sam in the background polishing anything he can is just awesome!

[@jimsauer2453]

Leroy Sr. the original OG. I started watching this channel when your first Leroy video popped up in my suggestions. Congratulations on all of your success.

[@smallcityhomesteaders1600]

Something about seeing 2 Leroys pull up to the line......had goosebumps there!

[@baddriversoflittlerock8359]

3:47......... music to my ears!!!! YES!!!!!!

[@ScottO84]

Absolutely awesome to see two Leroys coming down the track with one whining hard and the other making boosted whooshes.

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

You know he wants everyone to choose Leroy Jr. Because he hasn’t even put the atom in a video since the giveaway 😂

[@fredbawden1468]

Truth haha

[@joshuaedwards1366]

Maybe. Nostalgia wise I'm taking Jr lol. The atom isn't that cool to me. But if I needed money n won I'd go atom n just sell it get what I want lol

[@TylerWadleigh]

@@bigduphusaj162or maybe it’s just an opinion he holds. Not everybody likes what you do.

[@joshuaedwards1366]

@bigduphusaj162 or its a preference? Not everyone likes everything. Just like I'm not a hellcat fan big mf deal. But lots of people love those. The atom is a go cart essentially its cool but I like the corvette go cart look better

[@VetteDaily]

​@@TylerWadleighhe only likes the Atom because he's from the UK, boy talks so much trash on other videos about Cleetus, he has a sore fanny.

[@jimnoswim6827]

You gotta put one of those freedom steering wheels on Leroy Jr.!

[@codyschandorff5352]

The C7 will forever be one of my favorite cars on the channel so much history it's a bad*** build and the C7 platform is just amazing

[@PatsRC]

Getting cleet and James racing eachover is what I'm here for. The pair of them are so competitive. 🔥

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Finally we get to see the Leroy Jr vs OG Leroy, we’ve all been waiting for this shootout 🔥💯🇺🇸

[@williamstamper442]

OG went 10.60s. it wasn't a real race

[@djb5320]

I haven't been waiting

[@jaysco2293]

@@williamstamper442while spinning the ENTIRE track still impressive, but track way wayyy too slick to give the cars any type of power even boosted boy Kyle’s (E Roy) Tesla was spinning like crazy

[@lewissilverman7697]

To see them both line up was fantastic. Also the shot of Cleet in the corvette always takes us back.

[@chadlindsey8971]

Ronnie and Arnold are Savage as fuck. 2 legends reunited. Let's go guys

Man, wish the boss would let me off if I got stung by a wasp!!! Tye's getting pampered here! You're a good boss Cleet, never change

[@Dsnidess]

this month so far has been giving me month of freedom vibes ! New video almost everyday!

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Cleetus has done everything possible to keep us from choosing the atom, it would be funny if someone still picks the atom 😂🔥💯🇺🇸

[@Nunyabusiness87]

I would in a second

[@nataliedeyton6829]

I’m still picking the atom ….. I have wanted one ever since I saw the first one on top gear😂

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

If you bulked that atom engine up with sleeves and a g25-660 it’d be insane.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

Atom for sure.

[@jbeasy5620]

I would pick the atom. It's a stick shift!

At the minute fifteen second mark there's a younger guy on a scooter and Sam (the man) is jogging to the burnout box! What a freaking legend!!!

This is the most fun videos for me....the OG C7 Bald Eagle machine WHAT!!! this takes me back to when Ol Cleet plugged his exhaust tips with those turbo whistles🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

FINALLY A VIDEO WITH LEROY IN IT! EXCITED! I MISS OUR BOY LEROY!!

If someone doesn’t claim Leroy their crazy! Claim that and get a smaller puller = 🦅 FREEDOM !!!! 🚀

[@austinselman3205]

That shifting face in the C7 bring me back to when I got hooked, back to the 120 mph fly by on cop when ol cleet was gettin it on the on rap. Went through a lot of relationships etc, kidless to now having a 5 yr old beautiful daughter from that video until this video. Love ya brother

[@marcosstables]

Leroy jr NEVER disappoints, same with you cleet!!!

[@Canadahockey14]

I think we can all agree on two things. 1. Cleetus makes the world a better place 2. Cleetus for president 2024

[@bumblebee4245]

Man the race between leroy sr and jr was fantastic on the sounds you got the roar of the v8s and and the weeee of the supercharger and the psh psh of the turbskis bit of an audiophiles dream

[@GolfingwithGrant]

C7 is still my favorite car. It's what brought me here and it's still my favorite when he brings it out.

[@ezekielbrgs5744]

the part at 9:02 is so funny! “see ya later bud!” 😂😂 cleetus is hilarious

[@BBROPHOTO]

I really really hope the winner takes the Atom because I friggin love the reaction and vibes of them seeing the Leroy Jr. It's like a nostalgia hit for them and it comes through strong for us viewers too who feel it! 12:14 was like we were back in 2020 all over again at a drag and drive - so cool.

[@haydenroyer]

Time for next giveaway is the procharged Texas Speed 427 powered, finalized by that shop in Arizona (I believe). It's already ready to go, just throw on some tasteful zo6 or zr1 aero, offer it with a drag pack, go over the motor(fire ring the heads), to ensure longevity and with conservative boost numbers lifting the head shouldn't be a problem! The c7 gets no use now that he has rhe Porsche and the f150

[@greggilbertson3313]

Love seeing all the bald eagle machine content

[@thedarkgreenvanman]

Its starting to feel like the Month of Freedom again. Hell yeah thank you brother!

[@Diluted_Knowledge]

I could listen to Jack stand talk about slips all day, man is a master of his craft

[@djb5320]

It's pretty easy to make a loop, then you could listen all day. I say go for it.

[@barneyconner1874]

There is only one choice in my mind. Started watching when cleet did how to do a burn out. Haven't missed a video since. Leroy Jr even if he left it stock. Hopefully iam bringing it home to Wisconsin

[@calebbetz6836]

I love that Jackstand can hop in a low 10 - high 9 second car while also being an amazing pit chief. Cleetus really has an amazing team!

[@Millerlite6656]

You seemed to have forgotten about his Nova and 240. James is no stranger to driving fast cars

[@Th3Sh8dow]

James would also hop in Mullet without one bit of hesitation

[@Th3Sh8dow]

​@Millerlite6656 true that. Wasn't Ruby also low 7's last time she run

[@tomschneemann]

Good to see the boy leroy senior again. Hope that you will get on the 6 seconds chase again

[@firebirdude2]

Leroy Jr is sweet.......... but the twin turbo look is iconic Leroy. Would have liked to see that on Leroy Jr.

[@gitrdqne]

Poor George doing all that camera work and Cleet gives a thank you shout out to all his boys there (and one who isn’t) and nothing for George lol

[@nickneeley8798]

💯

[@noeljimenez69]

Hopefully George’s part got cut out or something cause if not Cleet takes a L

[@bdubyah89]

To be fair I think he was more thanking the ones who did the work on Leroy Jr.

[@hazzer0]

I think its more down to the fact that what they do is alot of the time not filmed but george is seen/heard in almost every video so his contributions are never forgotten

[@christopherharding560]

Hell yeah brother lol. You guys rock. Keep up the inspiration.

[@brandonburdette7895]

Owning a Corvette is a dream of mine even though it's stripped down it's still a Corvette to me and this Corvette would be so much more fun driving in the mountains and just cruising than one that has the body on it in and plus you got to have room for the wife 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@EquitySolutionRayRaz]

Y’all did a banger job on JR . Definitely my favorite giveaway to date ! Guessing 10.09 to be optimistic on Jr

As much as I will love to have Leroy Jr with that monster of engine. The Arial Atom will be amazing to drive the roads of the Ozark mountains and the Pig Trail. Crossing my fingers to win it. I can take off from work next week, so it will be perfect timing. LOL

[@mattwoelke9620]

I'd pick leroy Jr with no hesitation. That thing is so sweet and iconic

[@liamsels3112]

9:00 i love how he still makes the same face everytime he shifts the c7 like the og passing cop video lol

[@numbersabcdefg]

That's smooth, barely ANY shaking

[@scott01clay74]

If theres a lesson to be learned LEEROY JR & SENIOR what makes to be great story is they both have a story starting from being built from nothing to both being legends

[@chadsmusiccreations]

I think its about time to bring Leroy back to drive and drag events by putting a radiator and possibly a Steve Morris engine setup in there. Who else thinks this is an amazing idea, having Leroy in this last drive and drag would have had another car in the fleet to keep going if others break down.

[@whitesacc]

Really showing florida’s weather in that clip of cleetus saying they had a nice lightning strike while everything you see behind him is sunshine and blue skies😂

[@Greg1096]

If i win i 100℅ will go with the atom, wanting to get into road racing and the atom would be an absolute unit on a road course, plus ive been in love with the atom since that top gear episode 😁

Stick an nice radial on the back and I’m almost certian that there unit will do mid 9’s and it’s not even turned up that much brother, that there is a UNIT would love to see more Leroy JR content maybe some drag and drive events with it turned up a bit( smaller pulley) Rockey mountain race week, sick week etc OR turn it into a mess around car (like neighbour)

tbh if i was the winner I'd pick the atom and sell it for money, because i want more content for Leroy Jr because it has those nostalgic "shenanigans" content when Leroy first hit 8s and became the fastest stick corvette, it was very fun and it has the same vibes as Leroy Jr.

[@jessphiz4634]

I hope someone picks the atom. At first I wanted you to keep it but now I think you guys should run Leroy Jr as a drag and drive car for one of the boys. Would be great to see every one of you roll out on drag and drive events with a car each.

I would prefer Leroy Jr myself but I think I'd choose the Atom because my Grandkids would enjoy it more.
