the winner of the freedom
500 the owner
[Music]
of
oh
w
oh
thought he was in four-wheel drive that
was the plan unfortunately it didn't go
into four-wheel drive for for some
reason
a
w
oh
well you'll gas truck pop both tires
once again it definitely did the job but
I just don't think it was a winning run
I went to go locker room four-wheel
drive and uh it didn't lock in
four-wheel drive I don't know why um I
was really hoping to really do some cycl
again but it just wasn't doing it so
either way the old gas truck is uh still
running still good did really good and I
don't know if it went to third I was
trying to get her to go in the third
gear I'm not sure if I might have locked
in there a couple times but all in all
it ran good I think we're going to call
it it that the uh burnout Rivals is
stuck burnout Pro class is pretty short
we actually have to do plugs on this
thing again and it was throwing a bunch
of codes I don't know why so I don't
want to kill this thing today but we
should get it right and ready for indie
so we can go there and hopefully
dominate but uh for now I think I don't
see us placing we'll see how we did I
did a good burnout I used the whole pad
I scrubbed the wall once um it wasn't
really a hit it was more of a scrub and
uh we did we used the whole pad went
back and forth it was really good but uh
we'll see how we did on it I don't know
you know it's really tough class you got
luxfer in this class you got James in
this class guys are really sending it
it's really tough deal but uh hopefully
we did okay I think we did okay we'll
see
so lo and behold you won the O I'm just
kidding anyways we I won the opening of
the
transmission you may have the worst
Carnage today I definitely definitely
team J dies still he takes home the
worst Carnage the world you guys thought
I broke stuff he literally shattered a
brand new transmission but huge shout
out Justin we crushed it dude I got
third place in Rivals which I think was
probably about right because I did not
feel like it was a winning run um and
that lux truck is super hard to compete
with and uh it it just didn't feel like
a winning run so we're hooking up some
burgs had a great weekend so two podiums
for me this weekend on top and at the
bottom of it but still Podium so we're
going to call it there guys I hope you
guys enjoyed it we had such a blast this
was a huge weekend I truly don't know
what I'm going to do with this
helicopter I am torn on it right now so
I had a big decision to make uh had to
choose between the helicopter or
$100,000 cash uh just so you guys know I
ended up choosing the $100,000 cash I
think it's going to benefit us a ton
better for what we're doing right now I
do not have a helicopter endorsement I
have planned possibly one day of getting
it but right now is not the time for me
we're building the channel we are busy
with jhd so we have a lot of events what
we're doing and to add that time in to
fly helicopter and to go through the
training and the schooling it's just not
the right time for me so cleat going to
keep the helicopter uh most likely going
to sell it but I did opt for the
$100,000 cash which is very awesome it's
going to help our business tremendously
as you guys know we're building the
channel we're building projects on the
channel it's only going to benefit us in
the long run I think to go this route on
top of that I am looking at possibly
buying a bigger piece of property
somewhere so this is going to help me
set my goal towards that it was a great
opportunity and if I was stuck with a
helicopter I would probably learn to fly
it I would figure out what to do um but
because I did have the opportunity to
choose that was pretty awesome and uh
that's the route I took nothing more
about it if you guys don't like it I'm
sorry but regardless I would not have
put Aviation content on the channel
because I have to take that very very
very seriously so the last thing I'm
going to do is start filming my
schooling and get distracted over
concentrating on what I need to do so
keep that in mind guys it's not going to
take away anything from the channel cuz
I wouldn't have been posting that stuff
on the channel think flying is very
serious I take it very seriously I've
dabbled in a little bit and um you know
for for for what it's worth guys I think
it's going to make the channel far
better and work our goals be towards
becoming a much better and bigger
channel so we took the 100 Grand not
complaining about it thank you everybody
for the support thank you everybody for
watching I greatly appreciate it and we
will see you next time
