In this rip-roaring episode from the Cleetus McFarland YouTube channel, the team takes on the challenge of swapping out those pesky spacers on the Supra. And boy, was it a good decision! They went ahead and installed a set of TBM brakes, giving the Supra a whole new level of stopping power. But that's not all, folks! They also decided to upgrade the F-150 with the same TBM brakes, allowing them to fit some seriously cool wheels on that bad boy.

Now, let's talk about those wheels for a moment. The team turned to the masters at Billet Specialties, who worked their magic and created a set of wheels that are nothing short of breathtaking. Gloss black and polished to perfection, these wheels are a true work of art. And they're not just any wheels, oh no. They're the Turbo LTS Turbo LT wheels, designed to take your breath away and turn heads wherever you go.

But the excitement doesn't end there, my friends. The team also got their hands on some serious rubber for their cars. We're talking about some meaty 305/45 18-inch drag radials, specifically designed for the track. These babies are built for speed and grip, ensuring that the team will be tearing up the asphalt with ease.

With their cars looking mean and ready to race, the team heads to the Christmas tree drag race event. The rules are simple: each car must have a minimum 6-foot tall Christmas tree attached to it, and they have to make a quarter-mile pass against another racer. It's a battle of skill, speed, and holiday spirit.

As the races unfold, the team encounters some ups and downs. Leroy, the Savage, puts on a show with his lightning-fast runs, while Mullet fights hard to keep the F-150 in the game. There are some technical issues along the way, with Leroy's engine experiencing a hiccup or two. But true to their spirit, the team soldiers on, determined to make the most of their time on the track.

In the end, it's all about the thrill of the race and the joy of competing against fellow enthusiasts. The team may not have won every race, but they certainly won the hearts of the crowd with their Christmas tree-adorned cars and their unyielding passion for speed. It's a true testament to the spirit of Cleetus McFarland and his team.
