It was good to meet you. And… Congratulations man! You were out there all night putting the work in. Good job man! You absolutely deserved the win! Good luck with what you’re doing, and next time I’m out that way, I want to stop by and check out your operation.
Cleetus didn't put any of his flying on the channel until he was fully qualified and competent, he let it slip that he had been taking flying lessons for nearly 3 years off the channel, flying is a serious business.
I dont thi k he could really make content while learning to fly, Ive been a qualified pilot for years and make the majority of my income spraying fields with my helicopter, that one being a two seater he wouldnt be able to have anyone film him learning and most of the instructors i know would not be ok with him not being 100% focused on the learning or just wouldnt want to be filmed at all. Plus even if he didnt ever fly it the hangar fees and scheduled service and inspections add up super quick, because if you dont keep up on those it destroys the value, thats how cleetus got that md500 so cheap those go for $800k-$1mil used pretty regularly and i say that one listed a while back for $150k and im betting he was able to talk them down a good bit, the lack of scheduled upkeep really tanked the value on that thing hard.
I'm happy for your victory, but the damage you did the the thick, beautiful, lush, green bermuda grass will never be forgotten or forgiven. The LawnForcement Patrol has a warrant for your arrest. Watch your back. 😂
Totally agree with taking the cash. Learning to fly is not something to take lightly. I'm looking forward to seeing that chassis you had built a while ago get in the mud!!!
hello. I am an american. In america the land of the "free" the government takes your money before you get to spend it. So he won 100k, but the IRS will take 50% of that.
If it's worth that much more then ya maybe sell it but otherwise I agree. He's not a pilot so what good is a helicopter. Sounds like he's already got some cool plans anyways.
Take the 100K!!! I can watch Cleetus if I want to see Aviation content, I watch this channel to get Diesel, 4x4, Gas, and Hybrid content. I cannot imagine how awesome of content you will make with that 100K! Take the money and run!
Imagine telling someone they should spend their money on stuff to do more work just so you can watch vs his keeping somethin for him to just enjoy weather cam rolling or not lol
Depends on how long it takes to get licensed. Most people on here are clueless and don’t understand the amount of views you’ll get off that chopper. A lot of people watched the race and wanna see you fly it. Sell it after you get 10,000,000 views
Boys. You can learn to fly and still get your money. Make a little video series showing the process and if you haven’t already made 100k from ad revenue than you still sell it. It’s not some junk ass dodge ram uncle Chet gave ya
Problem is you'll have at least $20K into learning to fly it. And I can tell you from experience, it takes a lot of effort and you cannot afford the distraction of creating content while learning to fly. People have crashed and died doing it. JH made the right call.
Personally I would take the 100k, Congrats JH, You Freaking Done It Boy. Lead 100 Laps. Qualified 1st. I assume Cleetus didn't invert the field this time since JH was up Front. Well I guess Cleet found out how JH can really drive.
Stoked on your win and dominating performance JH🎉 When I first saw you on cleets channel I got a completely wrong read on your character and am extremely glad to be proved WRONG. What you did during the hurricane aftermath set me straight. So much so, I had to grab your merch to show some support for a standup guy. Very smart to take the money, helicopter flight, as you say, is utterly not a joke whatsoever. Oh yeah, and stealing Cleets Raptor was a capstone achievement, bigger than winning the race in my opinion. 😅 Keep up the great work!
jh, don't worry and say your sorry for doing what you feel is right for you and youe channeland family . i think you made a great and reasonable choice . you earned it so well done brother!
I 100% agree with your decision to take the money instead of the chopper.. Congrats on the big w. And I can't wait to see what this channel brings next.
Take that money for sure. It will coat a ton of money to own that heli. That thing just eats money. How much does it cost just to fill it up? Plus years of flying lessons... that cost a lot. Too much time and money if you ask me. You can do a lot with the 100k.
Poor Justin, he's going to have Nightmares of cleets tow service. Especially right after "you user an entire 16th of the burnout pad". Lol Money was the right choice. Invest in yourself. Especially while the going is great.
Helicopter is cool, but you have to have to be a licensed aviation mechanic to work on it. As cool as it would be the cost in the long term would be more money on upkeep. Glad you took the cash. Build huge shop on a bigger piece of land. Congrats on winning!
Helicopter all the way, will give you some more interesting content, TBH I don't normally watch you, unless you're in Cleetus's videos, maybe the Heli can change that =D
Really appreciate your help racing family and family oriented videos. I grew up in a racing family and lost my old man back in 2012. I can really relate to your family as well as enjoy watching Chase excel in all of his racing adventures. Behind every great driver is a Father and Mother that have sacrificed in order to get us racers to becoming the best versions of us. Before you can ever become the best you must beat the best and Chase is on track to become the best. Good luck on your racing endeavors this season and God Bless.
Not saying it’s what happened here but what I have seen happen before is a high wheel speed reverse then slam in park can cause the park pawl to grab a tooth or teeth and break them off and they get wedged and break the tarns housing. Pretty bad carnage. Forward to park won’t do it, the park pawl will just skip over the teeth. But reverse will grab the teeth and shear them right off. Inspect the rear planetary ring gear and see if the park teeth are sheared off.
Dude earned that first place no question. Congrats on the win. The helicopter is cool but you have to ask yourself is it worth it to keep around and maintain ? You can usually walk away from a vehicle wreck, helicopter wreck- not so much. Your passion is on the ground and you should keep it that way. In the long run the money will be more fun to put towards projects that you really want to get done or possibly start. Also gives you a budget for RC planes/ heli's so that when you crash one you can replace it, unlike the real thing.
Solid burnout JH that tip in was on point 👌 u should rip the engine out of the truck and put it in somthing smaller you’ll be more competitive you’re steering was great !
The head has to rule over the heart occasionally. Having a helicopter parked up in the back yard would be awesome but it would be a time and money pit for sure. Take the cash and make the most of it. Awesome drive BTW. In the front from go to whoa with that field & in those cars is quite the feat.
You made the right choice for you and your channel! I’m excited to see what’s next! Keep up the awesome work! 2 Justin’s is the perfect formula for success!
Take the money!!! That helicopter is so much less than a 100 thousand!!! 😂😂😂 like common really!!!!!! But if they tax that 100,000, then yes, take that damn helicopter!!!!! Congratulations, man!
Almost seems like the float needs adjusted like we do on our circle track cars, all the g force going into the spin causing all the fuel to go to one side not allowing any pickup?
Proud of you guys. Smart decision taking the loot. Even better that it was an option. You both had a great weekend. Wish I could have been there to see it.
