You can tell this guy is getting emotional in every sentence all the racing came flashing back ๐ฅน
After hearing the old owner talk about replacing the fuses and cleetus say it sounds like fun, I can only think about him getting the guys out to belay him down in the dope helicopter to replace the fuses, mission style lol.
3 years later & i still love coming back to see this video ! The track has came a long way since then all thanks to cleetus & crew !
I canโt believe itโs been 3 years
I've been watching the channel for a long time and I've never had a chance to be able to see this episode I quite enjoyed it.
nice
I hope he's been back since to see how much y'all have done
Name a race or trophy after this guy
Isnโt this the guy who laughed at you for buying it when you went to state why they shouldnโt build houses by it. He knew to sell it cause of the housing movement around it. ๐๐๐
They should bring him back through the Freedom Factory now, having it with all the new additions, the new grass, the burnout pad and the new lights.
Canโt wait for the video 50 years from now when Cleetus explains how concrete poles were top of the line back in the day. Meanwhile they have carbon fiber poles with fusion powered lights that last 1000 years. ๐
