In this exhilarating episode of Cleetus McFarland's YouTube channel, the team gears up for their annual Christmas tree race, a drag race like no other. With the race just around the corner, they unveil their new Christmas trees, which are no ordinary trees. These towering beauties, standing at a minimum of 6 feet tall, will be strapped onto the team's drag cars, Leroy, Mullet, and McFlurry. But here's the twist: the trees must be lit during the race, adding an extra element of festivity and challenge to the event.

To ensure that the trees can withstand the intense speeds of up to 200 mph, the team goes all out in reinforcing them. They seek the expertise of Ty, who works his magic to structurally strengthen the trees and ensure they maintain their fluffiness. Each car has its own unique modifications, from an extended parachute mount to a patriotic American flag theme. The team's attention to detail and commitment to safety is truly commendable.

But the excitement doesn't end there. The team also takes on a thrilling project with their Trackhawk. They embark on a mission to enhance its performance by upgrading the supercharger. With the help of Joker's Performance, they receive a ported supercharger that promises to deliver massive horsepower gains. They show us the intricate details of the ported blower, with its enlarged and smoother ports that enable better airflow. This upgrade, coupled with modifications to the transmission and transfer case, transforms the Trackhawk into a beast ready to unleash its power on the drag strip.

With the upgrades complete, it's time for the moment of truth. The team takes the Trackhawk for a test drive, and the results are mind-blowing. The car accelerates with astonishing speed, leaving everyone in awe of its newfound power. They even showcase a family launch, with five people in the car, to demonstrate the Trackhawk's ability to handle the extra weight without compromising performance.

In this action-packed episode, Cleetus McFarland and his team prove once again that they are masters of automotive entertainment. From the thrilling Christmas tree race preparations to the jaw-dropping upgrades on the Trackhawk, they continue to push the boundaries of excitement and performance. Buckle up, because this is one ride you don't want to miss!
