Leroy vs Blasphemi 2,500HP Grudge Race! Finnegan's Garage Ep.110

You asked for it-on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, in the comments of Cletus McFarland's videos, in the comments of my videos. You've wanted to see my supercharged 1955 Chevy Bel Air Gasser, Blasphemi, line up against Leroy The Savage, Cletus' turbocharged Corvette. Well, we finally made it happen! We both made our way to Paradise Dragstrip in Calhoun, Georgia, recently for a best two-out-of-three grudge match. The two-step action was on fire! The dragstrip was uphill! I did a reverse burnout (transmissions hate that so don't try it at home.)!
It was an incredible day at the track and I can't thank Cletus, Cooper, Spenser, Brandon and Newbern for all the laughs and the help.
Stay tuned for more adventures. Get fresh gear at www.fsmgarage.com
