Also can we get a “freedom factory lawn crew” shirt?!?”

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Alternatively, a shirt with Cleeter's face on it, and the text _"Git offa' mah lawn !"_ 😁 Maybe put the Freedom Factory logo as a background.

RG: spends 800,000 dollars on a new mill Cleeter: ooo what's this button do?

[@kanjionshasteen9159]

The fact that it costs that much for a machine is crazy I don’t get why inflation exists if a dollar is a dollar than why make it more it just makes it seem like more on paper they just need to make it to where companies can’t charge more than a certain amount for certain items like a car can’t exceed 20k and a can of corn can’t exceed 20¢ because that’s the man cause for inflation is companies being greedy and charging more and more money being printed

He touched on something very important that might have gotten missed, he's the one stepping up and renovating a track when so many are turning to rubble. Not only that, but he is openly telling everyone that this is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and fully transparent as to the decisions he's making and why. With all the craziness and "full send" there is on this channel, I just hope that everyone is aware that there are people out there that have made hundreds of millions of dollars in racing and talk about how these losses of facilities are hurting the sports they love, but a youtube guy is the one stepping up to the plate to do something about it. Never change, sir. And hopefully many more are inspired by you to do something with their local facilities.

[@vevo825]

I hear ya, but he’s not really “ stepping up” for anyone. He ain’t doing it for Dale..He’s not doing it for the love of the sport. Or the fans. Or to save a historical place. Or to give back” to the racing community. He’s doing for HIMSELF

Cause based on your comment I could assume your are jealous and or entitled little prick who thinks he’s better than others and has a problem with those who are successful and work for what they have!!!

If he only cared about money he would be trying to make you think that without support he would close the track and sell it! If he only cared about money he wouldn’t have sunk millions into an abandoned track that needed a few more millions to restore! He would of came up with different content and kept raking in sponsorship money and KZbin revenue! That’s what I see !

[@warrenmichael918]

A razor?? LOL That guy has millions of dollars in cars and toys, he dont need no stinkin razor! HaHa He is an awesome guy doing this for Ol Cleeter, i have wondered in the past if he is kinda like a silent partner in the track or what kind of deal they have, maybe nothing either, just a great guy...

[@Myself-zk8yw]

@@warrenmichael918 I get what your saying but it’s nice to gift someone who has been so helpful we gotta know to give back doesn’t have to be something so expensive but he has saved cleeter several 10s of thousands of dollars I wouldn’t be surprised if he is sorta somewhat part owner of the track but he prob isn’t and is just a good guy

Don’t insult RG with a razor. Get him a real machine. Canam.

I just wanted to say this. Fans asking you to start a gofundme and you believing you aren't in a position to do so because it gives us nothing in return, couldn't be further from the truth. The videos and content you put out are the greatest return you could really ever give us. For a lot of us, myself included, it's that moment of the day where I sit down at my pc and everything else disappears. My worries for the day, the shit I've had to deal with, this channel and the content you provide do so much for myself and a lot of other people. I repay that by buying shirts, watching and liking every video...many of us are grown adults Cleet, you providing us a gofundme isn't you strong arming us into anything, its paying back a service I don't think you realise you provide. It's a thank you. All that said, if it's not something you want to do, I can respect that as well, just wanted to let you know, this is something a lot of us would gladly do.

The only time liner works cost wise is when you have extraordinary costs associated with disruption. If you have basically greenfields (like you do) it is always cheaper to dig and replace
