Right well yeah brother you're on the please confront youtube channel look guys here here's the deal okay i know mike's car. I know mike's car're good we got a couple miles not even worried it's a beautiful day let's go race. Some jet boats a little low on fuel kind of forgot about that check out this view. It's insane olympic mountains warm.
Enough needs to warm up the jet ski found something else to drive our buddy ryan from idaho. And his boy came up going to get up from the airport and let us borrow their big man. Oh geez hey dad can we get ice cream on the way back damn kids. If it needs going further to test it then tell him defense are you ready bud you're not alone ready are they doing a licensing run right now they're getting ready all right so we gotta go out guys.
We gotta come off the trailer clean. We're gonna run the route. This is just a this is basically like licensing run so you know it's not meant to be super high speed. But we're gonna run the route because it gets us one extra shot before they qualifier so then we go right into qualifying.
So it's just gotta cruise. It not do anything stupid get back on the boat. Then we'll be licensed then we can race foreign let's go foreign. Thank you a couple of mustard on that one for our call or for a licensing run.
I don't think i've ever seen a licensing run like that i guess. That's just how cledus mcfarland and spicy spence get it done wow that was sick brother. Yeah. Yeah.
Let's go dude. You did great. I i used you a little bit. And it was like the one second guess.
I had i looked over your hand had me pointed and i was like perfect dude. I felt so comfortable out there would it interact yeah. I'll fire number one he rolled it yeah. Yeah.
No way. Oh my god whoa foreign foreign. What a great start to the run right there. I guess he is known for his burnouts does a little one there to end the run did a little jump in here making sure.
It's all good they're playing down and everything. So i think you're dialed yeah. No it's those corners are tight. They'll catch you i went into that one a little too hot all right tj's taking her out.
Good luck buddy now. We gotta launcher from the outside. All right. So the boats feel good that's where we went off foreign yeah.
Super clean run i don't want to make any early predictions but this might be my new favorite sport really i love this sport dude. It's the best weather. It's been honestly great people and wherever else are we gonna go this fast. I know this is awesome all right here we go round two buddy.
We got this we gotta just finish the run you know yeah we need a time sitting on the bank ai. N't gonna help us much foreign. Oh yeah we're off that thing's barely floating on its own. Yeah.
Well it was full of water earlier. I had it out brother you know the deal all right so guys we lost the ignition power wire little nut on the bottom of the toggle switch for ignition power. And that came off luckily not on a straightaway because we would have no steering on sailing off into the dirt. But we got it fixed damn spence. We got a nice double dnf going on killing it hey there's several double dnfs. We're not doing so bad then on the board. Yeah. It's getting on the board here.
Oh someone went off all right dude. We have the floor time just do cool coffee just got a score literally just have to fall apart. I know you do foreign. We qualified buddy dude.
We did it quickly qualified foreign er won the score on the board mcfarland marine putting down a 49810 . It wasn't as badass as that first run we had and qualifying. But it was we're qualified yeah we got a little close on a couple times. I mean i think dude yeah we'll check the stats.
But like that had to be in we made one we made one thanks guys thank you thank you doing a clean 49 8. That'll work all right tj's gonna rip. It yeah fast time right now oh yeah. He's getting it foreign 48.
A dude. He got us. He got he beat us. Yeah.
Understandably yeah. Avoid your room beth and i are out. Here. Watching.
And you know you gotta have your boat running perfect you got to be memorizing the track perfect everything's got to go perfect. We're gonna come out here on the last ball fire and miss a turn which we've seen several people miss turns and uh not get qualified. It's just so tough suspense last three boats have missed the turn yeah and they're they're in the pro class that's crazy that's how hard it is like when you're out there impossible even describe how hard it is to visualize. It's so fast.
This man's engine is done. He's like i'm finished and whatever oh man. He's got a lot of oil burning. Oh biscuits this sport is just i love this sport dude.
All right so here's the deal spence. We're qualified number four and uh. We gotta go out there and be in the top four out of the top eight in the qualified. So if you're a top four.
Then we move on around two and then there's four votes left. And we gotta be in the top two of that you know and so on until there's just one vote left so top four is what we're going for here. So theoretically you know if we end up the same way. We didn't qualify him.
We'd move on so we just gotta make it back in one piece nothing to worry about i don't know all right power on accumulator on foreign foreign foreign foreign who is this guy putting down an official class leading scorer right now of 45368 foreign. Yeah. No that launched the launch was bad so i was like i gotta make up some time 45. All right we had a fit income loose on the boat.
Yeah. It's now fixed pj's coming out our launched dude. Eventually. We lost a full second because of that yeah.
So it's okay we've had better launches. But we made up a lot of speed and what was our time ended up being like 45 45. Which is the fast of the day that modified i feel really good driving the boat harder yeah harder harder yeah okay good it felt planted felt dude it felt planned she will make the turn. She will and that's what's so bizarre trust in it as scary as it is she's gonna make it yeah. So we just gotta believe in our machine. All right here goes tj foreign foreign imagine being on tires. That don't ever lose grip as hard as you want you could just turn and it will turn it's like a formula one car. It is insane all right 45 36 with an eight to a 45 38.
We're fastest fastest in e1. Dude let's go all right. They're gonna get faster and faster. Because everyone's memorizing.
The tracks. Do what we've been doing. Yeah. Yeah.
We'll be all right all right the guy with the smokey on fire boat found us. Let's see what you got here. Yeah. Bro you're done yeah.
That motor got hungry. You're done for the weekend. All right tj's up first for round two foreign saved it oh shoot. It's sinking oh crap our boat sank that indian's gonna have some water anybody that exhaust is under well guys exactly what happened to us earlier.
When we hit this bank. Happened to tj and just unfortunately the way the boat ended it uh started pulling water and i saw the header dip under so we'll have to see how bad. It is hopefully we can get it fixed and hit around sure bud. They don't leave nothing out there that's dude.
That's what it's all about that sucks it's all right i mean we'll see what we can do okay okay ready one more try come on come on baby come on girl foreign. We try yeah. It was cavitating too like we picked up weeds right when we left the ramp boys. She had so many leads.
I don't think we ever checked the great we did after tj went on the island no it's oh. It's all good dude experience. It glad you guys liked it all right guys well all 208 done for the weekend. Tj and i are both out leaving uh two finalists.
So they're battling up there for modified right now but boy old girl she did she went hard this weekend. Hopefully. There's not a milky oil in it is it clean that's good that means you got a good boat yeah we both hit the island that damn island dude they could just dig that out a little bit more wow what a freaking amazing weekend. Thank you guys all so much appreciate it out what a freaking great weekend.
All right guys well here's where we went out. But all i gotta say is we had the fastest time of the day for the super mods. So you know what that's a win for us. That's a that's a w in our book s.
Two hundred dollars. We're going to disneyland and thank you guys all so much for all the uh warm welcomes and we'll be back foreign.
Hell yeah brother! You have such a kick ass team.
I KNOW IM not the only one LEANING in the TURNS!
If your already doing this, you might as well just try swamp buggy racing.
This is the making of an actual tv show Cletus Races the world , travel the world trying all disciplines ! Please make this happen !
I used to go watch jet sprint racing on the Waimakariri River just nth of Christchurch in New Zealand as a kid. My brother worked for CWF Hamilton who invented the jet boat. Always been a fan and so happy to see you've discovered the sport!
How long before he buys one? Iโm guessing less than a month.
FUN FACT! According to the ticket booth when we were chatting getting out tickets, Cleetus didn't know this race was in Washington state when he called to set up racing with Jolly Roger's Race team!๐ Apparently he thought it was in Alabama, not the opposite end of the country.๐ ๐
That sucks that the boat took on water on TJ's run. Cleetus could have actually won the division. Props to the owner of the boat/TJ for letting Cleetus run.
Cleetusโ racing business model is to come into a sport and just become โthe peoples champโ lol
Fantastic! Amazing job from both of you. And 2 folks willing to lend old Cleet vehicles.
Aw uumm can we put one @t the race track๐ "a jet boat pool thang"? "Brother"!!!
Cleet you going to build one of those?
You're a weapon. Best time of the day on your first time on the water is definately a huge win.
Oh, wow. That looks amazing, well done brother. Gona be slow getting back into a car again
๐ซhell yeah brother, this is "our" new favourite sport, brother ๐ฏ๐get it
Cleet is quite talented. Very impressed
Cleetus needs to build one of these tracks at the Freedom Factory just saying ๐
Can't wait to go back and do this… also HUGE shoutout to TJ, owner of the boat for letting us double enter and put some hard miles on his boat! What an amazing time!
