- Episode 304 is the very beginning of a multi-part adventure that was filmed just this week. It's an epic tale about Joe Cole and I driving Blasphemi all over Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio while racing at three different 1/4 mile dragstrips. We also visited incredible custom shops like @TinSoldierRacecars while battle breaddowns, malfunctions and rainstorms. It was an incredible one-in-a-lifetime trip that we know you'll enjoy. This video covers the registration day and the first day of racing and road tripping during @SummitRacing@SummitRacingMidwestDrags .
Next Sunday we'll have even more content for you as we continue on our adventure. If you love this kinda content let us know in the comments and please like, subscribe and share this channel with your friends. By far, the best way to support our efforts here at Finnegan's Garage is to visit the website and pick out some merchandise. Every dollar spent on apparel goes right back into fixing and modifying the cars used in these videos.

Thanks for watching!

A bad day living the dream is better than a good day feeding the machine. Live your best one brotha, i will watch and get a smile or 2 after my shift feeding the machine.
Dude you are so right it hurts if your doing what you love nothing else matters
thanks, dude!
Drag and Drive like this is my favorite. I think it really separates the "street cars" from the real streetable bad ass cars. It's impressive to me to see a 1,000+ hp vehicle not only drive down the road but pull its own support trailer with it.
if i was confident that it wasn't gonna rain and that I could find race fuel at every track then i wouldnt even bring the trailer. there's enough room in the trunk for all of the tools and our clothes. its the spare wheels and tires and fuel that necessitate the trailer.
@@FinnegansGarage seats are going in the LS boat as we speak. Come boating with us in Texas.
I'm glad my wagon made your video!!! It was a great week...
Eight passes and still didn't get the time you were looking for, sweating your ass off all day, no gas gauge or gas cap, rain, running out of gas........... Best day at work ever!
This commands mad respect. Lots of people think others have it easy but then you need to really look around and see people really working their butts off!!
Spoiler Much?
No air intake filtration... Don't get behind a hay wagon
@@meganbower127 dont read the comments before the video is over
Very Two Lane Blacktop moment putting on the "barn door" in a random barn
lol. i really enjoyed that brief moment in the barn with the car.
Always a good time watching bike spinagain😂
These drag and drive events are why I fell in love with Blasphemi!
2019 Drag Week Roadkill episode, the best ever.
Woo-hooo! Sooooo been waiting for Blasphemi to come back!!! So cool! Big time luck to you Finn!
Thanks for watching!
The footage of you rumbling through small towns was straight 2 lane black top loved ever second
that's my favorite part of drag n drive events--getting off the highway.
lol you can definitely tell she runs the show here!! Kentucky Dragway is a beautiful track!!
Lol. I don't even remember organizing your trailer.
you'll have that on those big jobs.

Finn you must know someone that can help you set up your shocks?
1200hp, full weight 4th gen, stock suspension, bolt on bars from Midwest Chassis, and looking to run on a radial. What would you recommend for shocks, or would you put the car on a slick? It's capable of 1400hp, but I don't plan on leaning on it hard, as I'll legit be daily driving the car, and hell yea, I'll make race week too, have it cleaned up and back to daily mode! Thanks for the advice!
Dude, you are the most coolest down to earth rich dude I have ever seen on CZcams. Please stay humbled. No one likes a rich assh*le that doesn’t appreciate what life has blessed him with. Great luck in this event. 👍🏻👊🏻
TEMU ratchet straps 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
" Oh, oh, Temu. We send all of our Garbage to you"..
Those things look like absolute garbage!
"Shop like a billionaire."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the awesomeness and thank you for your time.
I agree
Fantastic to see Blasahemi back in action. Great road trip. Rain yea it rains there. Can’t wait for part 2.
Thank you so much for taking us along with you guys!
It's so awesome seeing Mike racing in my tiny hometown of Clay City. I hope to see more drag and drive events make a stop at Kentucky Dragway.
Love that track and love your town. My family are from/in Letcher county and for 55 years I've been driving from Detroit right past you and that track for my whole life. Mentioned this somewhere else, Natural Bridge is my all time favorite state park in all of the USA
Way to live the life brother. My Sunday morning procrastination of cutting grass and other stuff is always worth it. The greatest roadkill car where it belongs
Props to the track management team for staying out there, that's amazing! 🎉🎉
Those gear change clunks are so satisfying. Faceplated manuals ftw
This is amazing!! I’ve been watching old episodes of road kill this week and I’m up to the blasphemi episodes!! It’s amazing how far this car has come through the years!!
i love this car! Thanks for watching!
Nice seeing the old girl back on the road hopefully she dont give you to much headache.
Awesome, I love drag and drives! I would love to participate in one myself one day! Can't wait for part 2!
Good luck with the car!!! The good news; a beautiful ride through the central part of the US!!!! God Bless the USA!!!
The lady at the end, with the welcome spiel and goofy look, hilarious. Let's see what she can come up with for each day :)
Had a very Two-Lane Blacktop kinda feel......& I like it!!
Race on brothers & appreciate this time together!
Livin' da Dream.......
Good on you!
So good to see Blasphemi back at it. While I like all your vids, seeing you guys do drag/drive is the best. Keep at it!!
Love it you guys sweating to the oldies ! Lamo ! Glad you have fun doing it ! Peace and Love !
A little Richard Simmons humor there! 😁
Excellent , keep those videos coming. Many thanks.
i always look forward to Finnegan's new video every Sunday
would be way cool to talk shop over beers someday 🍻
Nice!!! I motored on my 96chrysler in the rain for the first time tonight
The Junkyard Digs sticker on the window makes me smile. Remember Finnegan, cars don't move if you don't put fuel in them.
I gotta say this because maybe others are out there suffering too.
Depression sucks.
Ive been down for awhile especially since my health started failing. At 55 i feel like i should still be doing stuff like this, a drag and drive, but when you physically can't do what you used to do it really wears on you. Ive been stuck in this funk before i actually went on disability in 2019 when health began going downhilll. I can sit here and watch y'alls vids all day long but can't even barely mow my own grass. Looking for a way out of this but no ideas yet.
Please keep putting content out there like Mike does every Sunday so hopefully someday ill wake up and all this will be behind me.
If you are a person suffering similar depression i honestly and truly wish you the best.
Hey Mike, i believe the rear suspension is bound up. The initial hook then blowing the tires off tells me the chassis is not following thru. If it did follow thru even if not right i believe it would act accordingly.
Maybe jack it up, unhook the shocks and cycle the rear up and down with a jack and just eyeball it. Might just be a bound up anti roll bar setting.
I have time like this too. I have some pretty cool cars ,but cand do much anymore an L3 in my back is jacket up.im am ab 10 years younger but it's not any easier. God bless you friend. 🙏
thanks for the input. i believe the actual problem is the front suspension doest have enough travel. we'll be addressing that here very soon. Thanks for watching and please keep your head up. :)
Now THIS is the content I love haha
Fun sights and sounds! Love the sound of you shifting the car
Love me some Blasphemi! Great video Mike!
Awesome. Thanks guys. Loved it. Looking forward to part 2 big time. Bring it on.
Not often you see a grinder being used to help tune a drag car. 😂
2024 version of Two Lane Blacktop!!! Love This.
Thanks for saying to come down with your mom’s mini van there’s a class for you!!!! I needed that. I been following all you guys for years and always wanted to go to one but can’t afford anything like what you guys have. Now I have motivation to actually go and experience this. I have my own little beaters and just maybe next yr I will make one. It looks like so much fun! Thanks Mike, Love all your uploads!!!
please join in on the fun. its the best kind of road trip ever.
My one drag race night was many years ago at Edgewater. I was driving my lifted CJ5 with mud tires. I think I did 17 second, 95 mph runs.
Mr. Finnegan you have a awsome car..!! Your doing a event 1day I wish I can be apart of, in 1 of my dream cars. (55 chevy gasser)..Thank you so much for sharing.. best of luck in the event an your travels.. an I can't wait till the next episode..!! God bless 🇺🇸
Really stoked to see ol 55 on the the roll again. These driving videos are lot of fun for people like me myself and I since motortrend not working overseas. Much love and succes for you fellas there on the strips. 💪🏻
Love it! I imagine 6speed life is nice on the highway! Looking forward to the rest of the coverage!
I'm a VW guy, so for me it's the 4 speed life. 3K rpm at 60 mph, 70 is more like 3700. Cringy!
@@HellmuthsHotRods I used to be a vw guy as well!
@@Canadianchucknorris69 Holy cow, I didn't notice who I was replying to, the man! Big fan here, to me you are the poster child for drag and drive. Everyone draws the line somewhere different as to what a street car really is. No one can say your car isn't a street car. Nice to briefly interact with you, have a nice day.
@@HellmuthsHotRods thanks for the kind words!
i passed so many three speed muscle cars on this trip. lol
I'm diggin' that 2-passes rule. Makes it a bit more fun for any spectators that might show up. And keeps the racers a bit more honest.
I love following along with you guys! Keep up the awesome work!
Haven’t been on strip since November!? What!? Glad you are back at Mike!
Get some real tie downs from - Mac's tie downs. They're worth every penny
Hi there guys the Ghevy looks great and sounds great too mate. Iam ford nut but i do
Like the old Ghevy cars too mate i hope you guys have a great time and be safe in your travels guys a fan from down under Australia 🇦🇺 mate
Blasphemi failed to fail at least for the first part😅😅 It's good to see it back at the track😎😎👌👌
Love the junkyard digs sticker
HI GUYS LOOKS LIKE YOU WHERE HAVING FUN !!! KEEP GOING YOU WILL GET THERE !! AND THE RAIN !! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE TODD FROM MICHIGAN
Great to watch this all after a hard day of work. Reminds me of movie Two lane Blacktop............Thank's
my favorite car movie.
The road scenes give me "Two Lane Blacktop" flashbacks, which is awesome!
Great video got to watch blasphemi run in person at Ky Dragway in clay city great car keep up the good work
I really hope you figure out you need some rebound damping badly soon XD
I think the anti roll bar is bound up.
You know it’s a good day when a blasphemi video releases😎💪👍
3 speed Lenco with a Gearvendor, pedal clutch and maybe go quicker with more fun! Good luck 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love the drag and drive events as well as the build videos. From a guy that lives in the next town over
These events make America great to live in I see bald eagles everytime I see a race like this #starsandstripes
Kentucky Dragway. That’s one of my old special tracks (plus Beachbend Raceway Park ) from back in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Known then as Clay City. Thanks for stirring up some good memories.
So close. Your compression is good soft but the rebound needs to be stiff. You're all spring right now after adjusting both settings soft. I hope you get it figured out. That's why 90/10 shocks are the way they are. You're trying to replicate that with the double adjustables.
That would explain the rear bouncing after the initial hit. The other possibility is that something is binding.
That thing sounds so violent!
Just love these kinds of videos. Very very good. Can´t wait for part 2.
Excellent thank you for sharing drag and drive
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!
Smart move to eat and rest before the thrash 👍
“Quick like a bunny”. Was that a Fear and Loathing quote I heard there?
fun to be had by all i see
This is my favorite car in your fleet hope it lasts for a long time.😊
Love the drag n drive events. I'm going to a local 1 here this weekend. Great to see Blasphemy out where it belongs. Cheers Finn. Safe travels mate
You guys are the sh*t!
Tow a trailer behind your race car, unhitch, knock off killer times, hitch up, and head home.
Friggin awesome!!!!!!
its my favorite kind of road trip.
Joe Bumkin is a hell of a man too hang out in that heat and watch you have all the fun .great jnob you'll get it fixed and run great i know you will your BIG money Mike
The Hemi sounds 👌
We need a Drag Across America type race. Pick a track on the east coast, end up at a track on the west coast, in like a 10 day stretch.
Hats off to you guys for pushing through that heat and humidity. That saps the life out of you!
Looks like you could benefit from slowing down the rear rebound a click. Hope you guys win! 🤟🏻😎
Making it to day 2... you got further than last time.
one of the best videos from you...much appreciated
I love these drag and drive videos. Cars and I get to see a little of the country I'm never going to have time to see.
Joe is priceless. I'm sure he feels the same about you.
Thanks for the entertainment, looks like a lot of work, but fun
EPIC! 😁
looks like a blast ,wish they had one of these start at Woodburn dragstrip here in Oregon 😓
Wow that orange ford coupe in the beginning is from my town here on Long Island
Edgewater is not to far me. Its awesome
I didn't realize you already got the new SuperDuty. Looks Good!
1,955 👍's up Finnegan thank you for sharing 🤗
That second pass you should have had your cowboy hat on!!
You guys need KSR to hook up some cool shirts for Blasphemy... would make those drives much more comfortable.
Great seeing Blasphemi back out again.
Also, pretty sure Summit terminated their sponsorship of this event due to the 'drag and drive' trademark issue.
I like the drag and drive concept. But so far nobody has really done one. A true Drive and Drag event is a fast car with a helmet in the backseat that drives from track to track with no support vehicle or spares. Alternatively, if you are going to tow a trailer full of spares, you have to make your pass with the trailer attached.
Super fun adventure, Mike 👍😎
I really appreciate you work.You guys work great as a team
Awesome. I’d love to do that one year with my Barracuda.
Good to see a VE Commodore out and a about
Makes me miss my G8
Good stuff, have fun be safe fellas!
Man it’s awesome that I met you in my home town of all places!! I like 6 minutes from that track!! It was crazy to just be at the right place at the right time!!
31:18 you know youve got a close friend when you get invited in to his ice hole.
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing
Great video. Blasphemi has a mind of its own atm. Just flat out wants to grind up the track and you’re not driving it like you used to.
