What a wholesome scene. Not the races, but when crowds cheering for Cleet, even though he's new in this scene, it's like he's a legend in this. And also i love how fast Cleet can make the community loves him. When he said this might be his new favourite thing, i can confirm that cuz he good at it!

From driving straight lines down the drag strip to circles in boats. Cleet killed the driving. Spence pick up the course quick. Crazy for their first time. I’d be so lost it all looks the same either way you turn.

[@JJiG]

Cleet also had to memorize the course too, and spicy spence is used as a backup primarily. still awesome content though, this was fun to watch. next build on the channel is one of these jet boat sprinters lol

[@richarddance9340]

I didn't no he knew how to turn right 😂😂

[@von...]

yeah I am the same way with just visual memory, but luckily those corners don't feel the same so you really build up that knowledge as you run it pretty quick.

[@Lions7.62mm]

So true‼️

[@cnf6045]

Cleetus is a truly gifted racer…anything he gets in he runs with the best of them. Ran the first GM stick car in the 7’s, runs right up there wish NASCAR guys on an oval, keeps up on a dirt track, runs with the best in a drift car, or a trophy truck, or a jet boat. It’s absolutely unbelievable. There’s certainly people better at one specific thing than he is, who’ve done it for years and years, but I defy you to show me someone who can get just get in something and pick it up as quickly as he can. Absolutely unbelievable. When I first started watching, around the time cleetus put Leroy in the 7’s, It was because I think drag racing is more of a demonstration of who can build the best driveline, less a demonstration of whos a better driver, but watching cleetus drive a bunch of different disciplines, I’ve learned that he’s truly a gifted driver if anything you put him in.

[@someyoungguy6990]

It's like when he was born, he came out with a helmet and race suit already on...lol

Travis Pastrona is probably the only other guy i would compare Cleet to tbh. And Travis is a bit more "professional" than Cleet is so even that isnt the fairest comparison lol

Yep I think old Cleetus is one of the best drivers on the planet. He rips and I mean rips everything he gets in. Also we'll done Spicey Spence for your navigation skills.

He built one of the biggest automotive KZbin channels there ever was while also building his own cars and racing them. Oh buts that’s not all, he also buys and renovates a race track that he hosts events at and he puts on all of the cleetus and cars events all over the country. But yeah you’re right he can’t do anything for himself. Sure, people help him run his brand and business, that’s what you do when you want to be the best you can be at your given profession, you hire the best to get the best results possible.

He was so nice to my kids and noticed my 4yo with her hat and sharpie in the pits and walked over to sign it for her, and talked to my nervous 10yo at the bbq afterwards. Classy guy.
