- Episode 167 of Mike Finnegan's Garage is all about my trip to Tucson Dragway for the Duct Tape Drags, which is a new event put on by the track and David Freiburger. It's a great event for anyone who wants to have a good time without spending a ton of cash to go drag racing, camping, and doing burnouts. So much good stuff happened while I was there; I met fans, watched the slowest and most competitive drag racing ever, drank some beer and even got to sign off on a new driver's official NHRA Sportsman driver license application. Then I jumped on a plan and headed to Washington to film a new episode of Roadkill. Hope you enjoy the video! Want to help support the channel? Do me a favor and buy some merch at www.fsmgarage.com
Thanks!

The story behind the drag car coming back from Germany and you signing his license stuff was awesome.
If that guys brother gets his license too, Finn should try and sign off on him as well should they meet up. Complete the set. :P
That's the stuff dreams are made of congrats
And this is why Finnegan is a true badass and all around great guy and car guy!!!!
That was some of the coolest ish I've ever seen.
Agree 100%
I walked up to you right after you signed his paperwork and asked you if you just purchased something that was going to piss your wife off. You had the happiest look on your face and this glazed look in your eyes and explained it was for his license. You were definitely having a great time!
Thanks 👍😊 so much for the comment I'm so proud of these boys!
Hanging out to sign off on his comp license..you have restored my faith in humanity.
Good to see Elana! I miss seeing her in some of the Roadkill stuff from time to time.
Great story on the drag car...you could tell that meant alot to that father to have the car back and see his boys run it. Your a helluva guy finnegan. Thats why we all watch your channel thanks for all you do
That father knows how lucky he is to have sons that care about him.
Alot of us would give anything to have that kind of love for another human being.
🇺🇸👍🏼
Dude, what a great pro racer. Doesn't think too highly of himself to make some incredible memories with his fans! I wish more builders did that. Your dad would be very proud Finnegan!
The look on Newberns face when you said splitting up looked like a sad little girl. Lol. We love Newbern.
Thank you soo much Mike! We will definitely be back next year with the chevelle again and I will bring my own 67 that suits the duct tape drags a little better as well ☺️ I just uploaded the Christmas unveiling video on my CZcams channel if you guys want to see our dad cry some more 🥲
Your dad had me crying too. I am pumped for you!!!!
I am the proudest dad ever! I cry every time I see this dream come true you boys are amazing for your efforts in everything you do! Love you dad...
The car is beautiful and the story is awesome! And getting Finnegan to sign that licence was a cool move!
Pin this Finn ☝ 🙏
czcams.com/video/-mhFTwVY6sA/video.html - great video guys
19:08 - the 'thunk' when the door closes telling us how much Steel there is in that body, then the starter motor fighting against the compression,... and that noise when it starts, that's what a big block is supposed to sound like.
And having a great story, for a racing family, this is what real drag racing is all about.
The only thing not steel is the hood! ;)
That Malibu was incredible!!
Mike, you and all the FSM and RK folks do a great job providing awesome content. You all seem like solid down-to-earth people. Props to all the significant others that support all your wild antics!
That 9.50 index car was BADASS!!! Love the paint and livery on it. Love the story. So badass.
Thanks hopefully getting into the low 9s next time !
Thanks for signing my kids Blasphemi blanket made the day. Even cooler to be in the YT episode. !
Ah, the Jan Zimmerman Chevelle being there makes sense now! Loved seeing that car race at Santa Pod
That’s awesome!
I’m the guy with the wheel hoping Willy’s. It will be louder next year don’t worry
Sweet ride.Looks like it'd be a blast to ride in.Good luck.
The Twins story is awesome, what a great legacy car and proud father.
Class act signing off that guy's license. Made his year!
Great video!
Nice to see you take time out of your night to help the kid with his license! Shows again what kind of guy you are..👍
Keep up the great work/videos. 🇨🇦🏁
Reminds me of Tom Bailey at Drag Week this year, not participating but just relaxing, enjoying the down time, and meeting some people.
Incredible back story on car and kid. Dad was so proud. Total honor for them to have you sign and for you to have them search you out for your approval. Dude,I almost teared up.
Thanks for doing what you do mike. That was good of you to sign off on that young man’s license!
Love that you signed his paperwork!
Kendall's story with his dads German dragster, is Fing awesome!
I scrutinized that car several times here in The Netherlands... Awesome to see this....
Still crazy to us it’s been all over racing in so many places!
Always cool to see a driver get his competition license! Awesome of you sign off on it Mike!!!
So cool to be able to sign off on his NHRA License! Great storey on that car! My second car was a 1966 Chevelle with a 327.
That was a beautiful 1967 Chevy Chevelle !!! I sure miss mine. Thank you Mike for all of your great vids.
I'm from the area in germany and totally amazed to see those decals. First thought I was going nuts.
Man the dad with the twin boys was the story's I live for in hot rodding
Oh that yellow Mach 1 - great car!
Great content helping the young bloke out with his licence. You truly are a champion Mike.☝️🤘👏🤜🤛👍🤙💯👋👌
Dude, that Zimmerman car deal was great 👍🏻 Wonderful story! Glad you did what you did, we need more people like this in America. Help thy neighbor!
Beautiful Chevelle, and awesome story!
Best youtube story ever, went to Germany raced and made it back in one piece!!! And now the og builder has it back. Epic!!!!
What a great story on that Chevelle! That car is sick!
Awesome video !!!!
It's crazy to think that a car you built could be sold off and makes it's way to another continent and find it's way home again.
Still unbelievable for us 👍🏼
That was freakin awesome signing off on that license. Great car that has stood the test of time. Cool family too!👌🏻
Dude, just a great feel good vid. Cheers Finn.
Mike that is so awesome you are a real good guy!!
Dude, the car from germany coming back for christmas! Hell yeah.
I love that Finnegan has reading glasses! Makes me feel young again. I'll be there next year with the Buick Off-Roadmaster!!!
I just love seeing this kind of content! It takes me back to the early 00's at Atco raceway. We had something called high school night where you could run whatever you had as long as you paid the track fee. If you didn't have a helmet you could rent one. Good times, the best times.
That little pice of history was badass looked fun out there great video
That Malibu and the story behind it, amazing and you signing off on his license, so damn cool!
Derrick at Vice Grip Garage straight 6 power! 12:10
You just made a fan. 30 years from now, that young man will be telling of the day that Mike Finnegan signed his license!
That story with the dad and his two boys was awesome!
That’s awesome, looks like a great time!!! And great story with the car, father and son!!
Awesome that you signed off on his license, I bet he will never forget that act of kindness Finn!
Thats our car 😀 unbelievable!!!
I am very happy about that story the car place is on the road
everything is till now original painting chassis only new German engine 😀
Jan Zimmermann from Oastfrisia team made everything with his friend Jens and his wife said: don,t change the painting of the car
The story of this DragRacer is very long and interesting.......
Big greeting from Garmny.....so man I'm so ... happy
The paint job will always be with this car. I painted it years and years ago very unique love it.... That's how Ken Kyle found it on tube!!!
Enjoyed the story at the end. Awesome.
so glad to see this video. what an amazing story with the father and twins.
Didn't get to see duct tape drags! This was a treat. Appreciate it
That is one proud papa right there ! Heck of a cool story, and beginning of another with the twins. 👍
What an awesome story and what an honor Finnegan! Badass car too
Very cool to see a story like that
That was awesome of you to sign off on that young man's License. Not many people like you left anymore who would take the time to do that.
Props to the guy running the TRX-4
Pretty cool you signed his license paperwork! Best autograph ever
That was one happy dad right there! Great story with the Finnigans sig on his license makes it an even better story!!

ALL THE FEELS FOR A PROUD PAPA! GOOD BOYS COME FROM GOD FATHERS!
One of the best oem steering wheels ever...Trans Am!
That 65 chevy was badass, great history too
I was there on Saturday, good times. I under estimated how many cars and people would attend, no same day racing entry. Did get to see the Chevelle and Mr Frieburger at the wheel of his 32 in the pits. Many way kool hot rods and folks. Cheers !
Well Ill be dipped! its that fella from vice grip garage
Excellent! Way cool, especially the '66 Chevelle story! Love your vids Finnegan.
Stoked to get to see some of the event. Cheers, from Australia. I hope you're allowed to give us more.
I would love to see more content like this
The sound of a turbo always puts a smile on my face. 11:20. Also I feel that my rattlebomb LS swapped 95 Impreza would fit in nicely hear.
I know the Chevelle I raced with it on the same events
The engine builder is Thomas Engelage from Bremen . The car in Germany was owned Jens koennecke . The same guy bought a 1966 nova from me before he bought this car . What a cool feat to see this car back in the states ….
My husband and I stopped and helped you guys a while back when you were broke down.
Lol
@@gsppuffer we did t know they were famous! Did t start watching there shows till after when we seen them on different shows . no longer working together. We now have have the app and the channel on our hulu Tv. Fantastic shows. Dulchich's
And freiberger make a good team. We need something signed by them badly for the shack !!
Duct Tape Drags was so much fun! Hope Freiburger keeps it going!
Loved seeing the Vice Grip Garage burnout. I just watched his video about the drags last night!
Thanks for the shout out. Sucks I didn't get to see that blanket in person.
You da man Finnegan! You make me keep my faith in humanity!
I like the nitrous sticker on the fender. Instead of NoS it says No. awesome
Brother!!! Is that not every father dream?!?! There kids driving and racing there long lost hot rod!!! 🤩 super special moment for you and the family!!!
Thanks 👍.. I'll be racing a 1980 Corvette 406 sb at route 66 drag's next weekend.
Brother! I just got my first “unit” at nearly 40. 600hp bmw 550i GT. Still building on my 89 k1500 for anything and everything kinda rig. Def wish I could race more often in any class but life jams things up usually.
That was cool that you signed his license..
That was awesome that you signed that young mans paperwork for his license.
When Derek did the 1-2 on the column shift reminds me of running my 1950 Ford with it's original Flathead past my dad's house with him on the porch...I'd wait till right in front and throw the column lever 1-2 and get a "chirp" reminding dad of his days hot rodding his flathead ford way back when.
I miss dad. Lost him in 2016 and life ain't been the same without my best friend
I know it's not quick on the column but I always hoped for a 66 wagon Biscayne big block and three speed
Finn, love the channel and content. Appreciate you and Newbern.
Elana!!!! I miss her in HRM and Roadkill!!
HEY, THE LUV TRUCK MADE IT!!!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!
DUCT TAPE DRAGS WAS THE BEST! MOST FUN DRAG RACE IVE EVER BEEN TO!
Good job on keeping drag racing alive
