I love him hes a great dude. He does fantastic work and hes just a really good person. Thats why the crash hurt so bad because we knew that was not representative of the man Kevin. Even if it was his fault, that stuff happens on dirt every single day and nobody bats an eye when someone burns alive offroad. but the internet shreds everything apart when something bad happens, specially when famous idols are involved.. whats that called again? Anyway... Everyone knew as soon as they got in their cars that something terrifying was going to happen that day, ask any one of the participants. When there is that concensus after a wreck, the fault almost always lies solely on the owner of the event.. and no, his real name is not cleetus.

Cleetus, the way you turn lemons into lemonade inspires us all. First Ruby, then Rocky, now ElRoy... you embody the philosophy that every broken part is an opportunity to upgrade. Thank you brother.
The rebuild series of Elroy over here is going to be like a time capsule back when we were watching Leroy get built! Cept this time they will take the knowledge gained from all those years and apply it now to make Elroy better. Can't wait!

Love seeing Kevin back on the channel.
The frequency of uploads is crazy dude. Must be straight up workin your butt off. Many thanks for that.
Lroy needs Leroy's OG rear wing on it to help with the rear grip at speed 👌🏻
That Atom has an advantage with not only weight but also the fact it has road race tires on it as well. Elroy never stood a chance.
Best footage of going around that track YET!
So much fun. A shame Elroy is missing a pedal.
Good to see Kevin back in the house. Don't blame Leroy Jr. on Kevin. Mechanical flaw all the way. I got your back Kevin!!!!!!
Dude getting to see another Leroy from start again is so exciting
I’m pumped for this build series!
Im enjoying the upgraded audio even more than the visual quality improvement.
A leroy build series would be a blast from the past!!🤙

Great to see Kevin back. Love the zip tie malfunction. Good to see these issues arise with the best of the best keep up the great work. It’s not a Cleet video unless something goes wrong

MAD excited for this!! brings me back to the OG days of the channel and Leroy and then later the early days of the track and the challenges. love and luck from Ireland and a day 1 subscriber. It was defo under 200k for sure when i subscribed.
Kevin and LZ are the best collabs.
It would be fun to see the Vette-kart (still pushing to name it “Elroy”) get a supercharger setup similar to Leroy way back in the day, but with the quality of work you guys are now capable of. I think that would be more fun and streetable than a turbo. Plus it’ll be more 1-to-1 with the Atom. Maybe put Leroy’s old wing on it too.

I kinda would love to see you try and make elroy beat the ariel on the track. Weve seen the evolution for the drag version already. Go suspension, brakes, front splitter, rear wing and if theres a way, some sort of rear diffuser. More bald eagles is just a given P.s. we need some sort of conversion for hp to bald eagles
YES! More shop/build vidjas!
Leroy jr’s exhaust sounds fricken amazing
That Atom looks so cool with Cleetus in it. Big go-kart vibe for sure

Imo Leroy Jr is insane. I love everything about it. Such a cool open cruise... faster or not that is way cooler to me...

It'll never be as fast as the atom around a track but they can do a cam and bolt ons and it will bump up the vette a lot. Personally I don't see the point in them doing anything to it because anyone with a brain is going to pick the atom. It's worth far more, it's more unique, and let's be honest, the whole vette cart thing is pretty impractical.
Kevin and Cleeter are both Pro Drivers! Should be a great race!
Nice to see Kevin back on the channel
When the winner picks the atom (and you know they will! 😂) Elroy needs to be built as a circle track machine!!
James knew the deal. Already had the Get the Toolbox shirt on. 😂
Glad to see Kevin. Most chill guy and great Dad. More Kevin!!!
Way to go, Kevin... Reminded me of home alone when they would blame kevin...
Love the way both those cars sound, the Atom sounds like Hondas best cars/motorcycles plus FI lol. Plus looks awesome obv. And nothin wrong with a good ol Vette either ofc.
