Hell yeah brother you're on the policeman for on youtube channel. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back, got all dougie doug cook, from motion here and we got jason from tbm brakes. What's going on had to bring the brake guys, you know after the whole brakes experience last week, we've actually come armed with brake pads, see if we can't it's a supply door, a little bit. You know tvm brakes, work great on drag cars, but turns out a big part of tbm brakes is dirt racing so well, it needs to be bigger, it's actually where they got started, really yeah circle track dirt track, yeah and uh.
Just the last few years drag racing kind of took off so yeah, so i got these guys with me and we are going in right now actually to kick things off by driving a late model from another youtube channel called hunt the front. So this is crazy. We got ta supply these boys with some brakes. You know, you know we got ta support our fellow youtubers in the dirt industry, so we're pulling up right now.
You haven't even seen this place yet no his first time here. Oh we're going right in do a few laps in the old golf cart. Dude! Look at this place! Yeah, you believe we're doing it. Cletuson cars in here uh i'm ready to do a burnout on this path.
Look at this dirt. It looks like cement yeah in some spots. I guess like four or five feet, deep dude look at how gripped up it is gon na leave. Wasn't like that.
The other day when i drove on it hey, what's going on guys all right, i got ta get some names. What's going on jordan, jonathan jonathan joshua josh joseph joseph there's no way this is the driver right here, all right, cool cool, hey. This is uh doug and jason from tbm brakes, so i guess i'm gon na be driving this thing and hunt the front youtube channel dude, it's so cool. I get to meet up with some youtubers out here best track to ever.
Possibly do this at. I feel like the fastest anyway yeah fastest, so how much power is this thing making 820. all right? So this is just a super. Late model would be the class for 30 people sheesh, you know so hold on.
I mean you think it'll be the hobby stock by a few seconds might be a little surprised holy crap. What do i got to? Do? I mean yeah, we're hoping you fit man, oh yeah i'll, be good. I can tell we put a little bigger seat than what we run in it: uh yeah. We move the steering wheel, human giraffe right here man.
So what's the story uh with these levers, yeah we're gon na have to talk about that. We're gon na talk about that. Have you ever dealt with a bird or brain style transmission? No, but i heard you push the clutch to go okay and then once you're up in the when you shift into high gear, then you don't use the clutch at all. Then you just does it stay down or does it? Oh, you you let it off the clutch and then it's like a direct drive from there like it's, not even clutch, isn't a thing: okay, smashing gas and clutch at the same time: okay, wow, on both good and hot, put it in high and then you're good. Okay, all right, so the left lever is that the shifter, the one closest to you here, is your like right. Now, it's in low gear, which is forward yank it just kind of pull it back into high gear. You know and then it'll go into high. Then it's you can't.
If you try to stop and high gear it'll choke down, okay, you know yeah knock it back out and i'm not trying to like drift out here. You know see i kind of came into this thinking. I was drifting, but really i'm just supposed to drive as straight as i can right now. No one told me that maintain traction got it.
Okay, well shoot ready for you, man. I hope it looks like this in 10 minutes dude, i'm good. I mean i mean. I just hope it looks like this in 10 minutes.
That's all i can say you know what i mean. Should we take the thumbnail now or should we take a thumbnail now or wait until after yeah all right, dude, look at these tires good, lord. What the hell so we're going from the slowest class to the fastest yeah - that's always good trial by fire. So if i do good, do i get erase the feature tonight or what's the wiki much tighter than the hops? How do you feel i feel amazing? Can you get the steering wheel on and see how that fits you, because we can move, we can move the steering, shaft and stuff y'all were real.
Confident when you made that facebook post saying he'd, let me drive it, don't be down now. I got you how much rpm are we going to on this road? It got an 84 chip in it. So all right anything i need to be real cautious of besides the wall. Listen like i'm serious.
If any, i can move it move. If you move once you get to speed, you move the wheel and inch either direction you're going to turn the car is going to go that direction. All right, be ready for that in the rear. End obviously moved around quite a bit like that's how this deer? You know how the thing steers: half the time is off the rear end.
You know yeah because it moves so much so yeah, so i'll drive and first out onto the track and then on the street i'll hook it in. If, once you get your speed up, you know it'll be easy to go and knock everybody if it's not easy to get in high gear you're not going fast, it's not going fast. You ready. I was born ready brother all right, let's flip the ignition over and then hold it.
No next one down go ahead and flip it over no start it with that one. So how you feeling right about now nervous, really nervous. How often do you have new people? Drive a late model like that, ah, not very, not but not ours, not very often before i let off because like when i let off it's like yeah. Obviously, like last night, we weren't out here letting off very much at all.
You know so i mean, if you feel comfortable, oh you're, letting you're not letting off. I mean not completely yeah because it hates it hates that lift and i'm like how far do i go in, is that that feels good and that speed that you're going you could go pretty you know kind of hard in right. I would focus more on going into the corner harder than faster down the straightaway and then once you get like, where you feel like you're, comfortable you're, going to have a good speed through the corner. Okay, you know all right got it doing a good job. Man keep it under you good thanks, so so so what do you think man when that hurts hey you doing for today? God damn dude my neck? I could barely hold my big ass head up. I really snapped my neck. It's like no other side grip. I've ever encountered it once more through the corner, but i'm like how fast do i initiate see.
That's gon na end up with this thing over the wall, yeah yeah yeah, you kind of yeah yeah. I hear you and so uh. Definitely you don't all right. So we call it then it's up to you, you bars alive.
I mean, i think, we're. I think we're really good you've impressed me. I'll, be honest. You know, i see nobody ever get one of these and just go around the racetrack, like that: 17-3 yeah.
17-3. Yeah, that's six seconds faster than my hobby. Stop dude! It's like it's not even funny how fast this car is. It was a little motor yeah.
This sucker is getting a little motor. What do you guys normally race with we have a 465 at the trailer yeah, but this is still what eight hundred and eight twenty eight thirty some of these guys are over 900. I don't want to leave you guys with a beat up right now. The smile this guy has because he doesn't have to fix anything.
I didn't sleep last night dude, my arms and, like my neck, are like pumped like i'm in the gym right now, like i just use so much strength every lap. How does it compare the other stuff that you've driven? I mean that's the most grip. I think i've ever felt in anything in my life on dirt on dirt. What ain't all those tires you get you one of these things, man, yeah i'll, be honest! Yeah.
Do you think he's got what it takes? Usually i mean obviously uh if i had like an hour or so to do it. I'd be like, let's i'll run the freaking race, but i mean i still i'm just not up to par with what these guys are going on. But maybe we could do that, but maybe not here. Maybe you should try racing with like a 604 or 602 or something yeah well, big.
Thanks to hunt the frog youtube channel and also uh racexr bristol dirt nationals be racing here tonight in my hobby stock, because now i should be tired, you're going to haul ash in your hobby coming up under it they're going to mod it up a little bit Later and uh we'll be racing tonight, so shout out to these guys hunt the front check them out hit that subscribe button.

That's good y'all, see my first dirt track fight. I'm talking about all right guys. We need to talk strategy here, since i'm you know in the end, do i take inside or outside? I just well. I don't know yes best part about it.
Is you choose you go out there? I can change my whole race if i take inside or outside from all right. Where are you guys starting 11 minutes all right i'll see you guys about 10 laps in i'll? Be up there all right, you're, starting in last. What's your strategy to get to the front of the pack here today, i'm gon na jump, the restart it's bad jump, the restarts, never a bad way to go.

What happened taking that guy out over there there's a big crash over here at the leader. Did i take a guy out? Oh the guy came down on me. I had no rear grip, so i just came in, i was like. Is there something wrong with my tire? Did you see it? Oh yeah, it was bad and i blew the front right because i ran into that guy i mean he gave him my lane yeah.
It was uh not gon na lie, i'm not in a sugar coat. He gave my leg, he came down on you, i passed a bunch of people, but uh. Then i blew the front right came in, got out, started fast people, then i started getting pass. Came back entire again, it looked pretty competitive out there.
It was uh super gripped up. So like last time, i raced first high race was sort of grippy. Second time super slippery, this time, all grip. So i love the super late models like put a bunch of rubber down. You just drive in and we're up, and i just made the corner like drifting. It was a little hard, that's it for our race, video thanks for watching, see you later. You.
Those are some awesome guys shout out to hunt the front. Hopefully Cletus will pick it up and hit our track out here in Colorado
Dude you need to reach out to buddy the love sponge and do some dirt track racing with him. He owns a track close to you. He’s based out of Tampa but owns buddy motor speedway. I would love to see you get on his dirt tack. Y’all two would totally get along and He’s been doing the race track thing for years I’m sure he’s got some tips and tricks for you to apply at the freedom factory
When the dirt track out by me is running (about 15 miles away) and they have the big block modifieds running, you can hear the roar off in the distance. Those things are quick
That low line ain't worth a s*** Cleet. You are the kind of driver that can carry speed at the bleeding edge of grip, so high line it and run instead of making your engine pull you out of the corner over and over while the other idiots coast above you and run down on you.
Holy ….! No freaking way! Then,can't believe you raced at Bristol! What an amazing and awesome job you did in both cars! Thanks for sharing all if this with us and thanks to both teams letting this happen!
old boy really used his head didn't go out there and try to go hog wild took his time and asked for advice and got going real well good job glad he didn't mess up pretty impressive
Cleetus and cars at bristol! Hell yea brother I'm freakin excited! I live very close to thunder Valley and love going to races there and lots of good family memories there and ready to see that event with family
I have to say, I am surprised how religious a lot of the people you do collabs with, are. I myself grew up Baptist, and I am very close to God, but I dont "practice" for lack of better word. I am on the fence how people can see both "growth" and "good peeps dying"….. How do you seperate what is Gods will? I just feel like life is what you make it…….
Did I hear him right asking if Cleetus had what it takes to drive that car. Cleetus is truly talented at anything with 4 wheels!! He can do it with zero effort!
I've been watching Hunt The Front for a few years now and I'd have to say that they are the most down to earth people you'll get to watch on you tube! Give the shirt off their backs kind of people. Great to see Cleetus smashing out some laps with these boys, and credit to Cleet for picking up the unique driving style required of these cars so quick.
Sucks I was working. I’m born and raised in Bristol 🤘🏼 my dad ran the cleanup crew for the track in the 90’s I got to meet all the legends and still have a lot of cool shit from then.
To put in perspective, my fastest time ever at the Freedom Factory is a 16.9 on a 3/8th oval, asphalt of course… this is a 1/2 mile track and I went a 17.2, on DIRT. Freaking insane 😂
