at that the dirt is uh like super deep too man [Music] I know this is right up my alley hey boy ourselves though nice nice fire me up it's like we're lining up over there let's go it feels nice and loose loose is fast so these are uh more modified I think I know these are modified I don't know but honestly I'm learning a lot today these are hobby stocks all over here we got modified those might be stock cars I don't even know a lot of a lot of classes all right here we go oh God hey look at this place talk about bleachers for days [Music] oh foreign [Music] avoid oh it's a good sign that your race car wants to turn left on its own so yeah John Deere nice enough [Music] oh my God it's very exciting stuff those things are done done I didn't think Tennessee I don't know yeah there it is crazy I guess in some spots it's five or six feet deep that's some thick stuff look at that boys thick stuff that's where we all drove in on it packed it in it's crazy that like real Tech Guy well it like flicks off yeah it was bare over here before they started that's actually dirt this is really compact dirt really it's not yeah it's not the asphalt the shiny stuff is a super compact it's like the groove pretty killer lighting system look at how well it the track itself is from these exterior lights nothing from the center but they got this stuff dialed look at this I just found holy toledo that's like 10 grand of fire extinguishers at least too oh boy here we go I just want to put on record that a lot of people you know on their first time doing this they're going on track by themselves we going out with about 20 cars so that's good you know it's always good to really Dive In [Music] I want to get my first crash out of the way there's a look at Cletus McFarland's 1776 you see the freedom Factory logo there on the bottom uh we are so very very excited to have Cletus on board with us he's a pavement boy but he told me up here in the Press Box earlier he said you know this just looks like drifting and I've been doing that for a long time I I asked him I said you got any apprehension are you anxious at all he said no not really like I'm just out here to have a good time and and hang out with my friends and and race here at Bristol and I love his enthusiasm I love his his excitement like he is just pumped to be here and we're very very happy to have him on board with us this week too [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] complete not he he's not shying away from the loud pedal that's for sure clevis McFarland holding it down there through three and four a good good run you can see the he's got it set up really really nicely working with a great crew that uh has helped him set up that race car the wheels counter steer just enough maintaining that slide he's not afraid of it at all man I'm very excited to see this and that's one great deal about plate is that he has that kind of asphalt experience and you're going to need that one on the track that's very high speeds yes you have you can't just kick the back end out like you would on something smaller a little bit slower straight is fast on these big high-speed racetracks and he's keeping the car very very straight a little bit sideways there just to say that coming into that second set of corners but I mean really got a nice line going [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Music] is good I need some more gear though I'm running out of rear gear up on the chip about halfway down the street [Music] good the fan hit the Shroud a little bit yeah I can hear that I just started figuring it out and I know you look good it's just like I was going too slow at first you have to go in full speed or you just drive down so I'm like the last lap I started like that last five [Music] go back out so bad right now that was pretty slow dude I just started to realize how fast has been made starting to have some balls and actually go boys we got our practices she's running good the problem is it's getting up on the chip real early we got a 5.0 final drive in this thing four gears so I think we're gonna go down like a 476 or something tomorrow but I got my practice in feeling good it's like drifting and asphalt Mobile Track Racing all in one I thought it's going to be crazy passing people doing that so really glad I got the wheel time but we got qualifying tomorrow so I think we're calling it for the night [Music] foreign [Music]
