Donuts, Drag Racing and Beer!!!

[@HammerPowered]

The story behind the drag car coming back from Germany and you signing his license stuff was awesome.

[@banana_havok]

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

[@kenholbrook8639]

That's the stuff dreams are made of congrats

[@leemast4010]

And this is why Finnegan is a true badass and all around great guy and car guy!!!!

[@brettgast]

That was some of the coolest ish I've ever seen.

[@clubmancarsaustralia5714]

Agree 100%

[@Calpantera]

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!

[@406vette7]

Thanks 👍😊 so much for the comment I'm so proud of these boys!

[@DieselDoc78]

Good to see Elana! I miss seeing her in some of the Roadkill stuff from time to time.

[@zrxdoug]

Hanging out to sign off on his comp license..you have restored my faith in humanity.

[@mikedeotis526]

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

[@jarenbishop]

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!

[@Team6Loves]

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. 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@chevelle19721]

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 KZbin channel if you guys want to see our dad cry some more 🥲

[@codylandreth6078]

Your dad had me crying too. I am pumped for you!!!!

[@406vette7]

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...

[@zepedrofd]

The car is beautiful and the story is awesome! And getting Finnegan to sign that licence was a cool move!

[@jeffyjoebob8300]

Pin this Finn ☝ 🙏

[@realecomkid]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y57Ld4eti75pqaM - great video guys

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

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.

[@chevelle19721]

The only thing not steel is the hood! ;)

[@joshuagibson2520]

The look on Newberns face when you said splitting up looked like a sad little girl. Lol. We love Newbern.

[@LolPepperGate]

That 9.50 index car was BADASS!!! Love the paint and livery on it. Love the story. So badass.

[@kendallappelt8623]

Thanks hopefully getting into the low 9s next time !

[@stephennadworny8401]

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!

[@SethBergile]

That Malibu was incredible!!

[@jamiemullen8772]

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.

[@johnsmith-ik4xp]

That was a beautiful 1967 Chevy Chevelle !!! I sure miss mine. Thank you Mike for all of your great vids.

[@CLCIII]

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.

[@Canadianrcguy]

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. 🇨🇦🏁

[@Sandkei]

Class act signing off that guy's license. Made his year!

[@n8dawg416]

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!

[@olsonspeed]

The Twins story is awesome, what a great legacy car and proud father.

[@DaOneAndOnlyKDubb]

Always cool to see a driver get his competition license! Awesome of you sign off on it Mike!!!

[@erictooke3850]

Thanks for signing my kids Blasphemi blanket made the day. Even cooler to be in the YT episode. !

[@HellmuthsHotRods]

Reminds me of Tom Bailey at Drag Week this year, not participating but just relaxing, enjoying the down time, and meeting some people.

[@Hunman2k]

I'm from the area in germany and totally amazed to see those decals. First thought I was going nuts.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

What a great story on that Chevelle! That car is sick!

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

What an awesome story and what an honor Finnegan! Badass car too

[@adamreynolds1851]

Very cool to see a story like that

[@roodgeregeld]

I scrutinized that car several times here in The Netherlands... Awesome to see this....

[@kendallappelt8623]

Still crazy to us it’s been all over racing in so many places!

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Best youtube story ever, went to Germany raced and made it back in one piece!!! And now the og builder has it back. Epic!!!!

[@zachaliles]

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.

[@blueman5924]

That is one proud papa right there ! Heck of a cool story, and beginning of another with the twins. 👍

[@papajon-1000]

Love that you signed his paperwork!

[@RDSAlphard]

Beautiful Chevelle, and awesome story!

[@ceciljohnson3829]

Enjoyed the story at the end. Awesome.

[@Bruningable]

Oh that yellow Mach 1 - great car!

[@madjeepernh6834]

That was one happy dad right there! Great story with the Finnigans sig on his license makes it an even better story!!

[@Al-of3zp]

That story with the dad and his two boys was awesome!

[@ralphchristie1363]

Mike that is so awesome you are a real good guy!!

[@CJE2007.5]

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.

[@dustydon6419]

What an awesome story and what an honor. Badassed car too

[@evolgenius471]

I love that Finnegan has reading glasses! Makes me feel young again. I'll be there next year with the Buick Off-Roadmaster!!!

[@non-nefarious]

Excellent! Way cool, especially the '66 Chevelle story! Love your vids Finnegan.

[@larryhall6416]

What a Honor for you. What a beautiful Chevelle.

[@SC457A]

Pretty cool you signed his license paperwork! Best autograph ever

[@johnh8917]

Didn't get to see duct tape drags! This was a treat. Appreciate it

[@jonnewton5929]

Dude, just a great feel good vid. Cheers Finn.

[@MichaelJones-tk4xt]

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.

[@kendallappelt8623]

Still unbelievable for us 👍🏼

[@flipppy83]

That 65 chevy was badass, great history too

[@nwredneck390]

Loved seeing the Vice Grip Garage burnout. I just watched his video about the drags last night!

[@kenbergren3903]

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 !

[@thelmahattingh2213]

so glad to see this video. what an amazing story with the father and twins.

[@joeponder9668]

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!!!

[@406vette7]

Thanks 👍.. I'll be racing a 1980 Corvette 406 sb at route 66 drag's next weekend.

[@joeponder9668]

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.

[@svpracer98]

Props to the guy running the TRX-4

[@mikemaccracken3112]

That was awesome that you signed that young mans paperwork for his license.

[@wojtek4533]

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

[@406vette7]

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!!!

[@inkedinRl]

Love this man.. you were so nice to those people!

[@jwilliams703]

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.

[@christopherjohnson5320]

Awsome job helping that family out and getting that young man his license and hopefully will sometime somewhere do the same for his twin brother

[@stumpysyogastudio8745]

I can see a slightly irritated Frieburger anywhere and the vice grip burnout was epic but covered by his channel (because car KZbin is collapsing on itself) BUT the twins story about buying their dad’s car back was amazing- thanks for sharing that.

[@greasemonkey2525]

Glad to see these veteran drag racers supporting up coming talents.

[@wi11y1960]

I would love to see more content like this

[@dragbikedemon]

You da man Finnegan! You make me keep my faith in humanity!

[@SpatialDragon]

I am glad to see "Challengeher" is there. Thanks for including her, she kind of gets overlooked.

[@davidgoodrich1258]

Finn, love the channel and content. Appreciate you and Newbern.

[@boostedsaleen6146]

Good job on keeping drag racing alive

[@juppzmuda9725]

WOW! Man, I saw this car running on a drag event here in Germany some years ago! Regards from the cologne area!

[@mrpierini1]

[@Phonophobia]

I appreciate that extra work you bunch of people put in so much, thanks a lot for the bts coverage :)

[@mypl510]

Duct Tape Drags was so much fun! Hope Freiburger keeps it going!

[@OlDustyTrails]

Would love one day to make it out to one of these and meet and chat with ya Finnegan. Seems like it would be a real fun time. Keep up the great work and enjoying "the best at work ever"

[@rayjon237]

That was cool that you signed his license..

[@christopherjohnson5320]

What a great story and what wonderful sons to find that car and get it back all the way from GERMANY if you didn't hear the story in person like I just did no one would ever believe it I am so speechless right know all I can say is WOW

[@Chevelle602]

[@georgemueh3273]

[@precisiondiesel225]

I like the nitrous sticker on the fender. Instead of NoS it says No. awesome
