Christmas Tree Drag Race

Christmas Tree Drag Race - 12/24/20 09:06 PM

I picked up watching some of Cleetus Mcfarlands you tube stuff a few months ago. He recently hosted the Christmas Tree World Championship at Bradenton Florida where he managed to get a 16 car field of fast cars racing with Christmas trees strapped to the roof lol. Its good for a laugh!

He is an interesting Character, the Cleetus thing is an act but he has managed to make a ton of money having a good time with cars. He is a pretty good drag racer as well.

I watched it earlier today, was literally laughing out loud at Kevin's tree with the foldaway mount attached to the parachute.

I wanted to hate Cleetus because his schtick seems so cheesy at times, but it's incredibly entertaining. The Crown Vic races at the Freedom Factory have been A+ enjoyment and makes me miss working and driving Crown Vics! And like you said, he has done an excellent job drag racing a couple misfit Corvettes.

The KSR Racing channel is something I started following. He's a sharp dude with some great ideas.

I've followed Cleetus for quite a while now and it's incredible what he has accomplished in a short period of time. The guy has a personality that is made to be in front of the camera and has become quite the driver.

I look forward to seeing what he does with the Freedom Factory (old Desoto raceway) they bought.

When does the guy sleep?!

Yeah the "active aero" on the KSR car was hilarious. I laughed out loud several times. It also cracks me up that some of those guys set new bests with Christmas Trees strapped to their cars lol. But I imagine Bradenton in December has some pretty good air!
