WE DRIVE AN INSANE 800 MILE ROAD TRIP IN BLASPHEMI! (Part 1)

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.

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

[@FinnegansGarage]

thanks, dude!

[@frankdiana5488]

I'm glad my wagon made your video!!! It was a great week...

[@FormulaZR]

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.

[@FinnegansGarage]

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.

Very Two Lane Blacktop moment putting on the "barn door" in a random barn

[@FinnegansGarage]

lol. i really enjoyed that brief moment in the barn with the car.

[@tonykemper8896]

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!

[@vaibhavdlv]

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!!

[@andybrandner204]

lol you can definitely tell she runs the show here!! Kentucky Dragway is a beautiful track!!

[@HighRevNation]

These drag and drive events are why I fell in love with Blasphemi!

2019 Drag Week Roadkill episode, the best ever.

[@craigconnor2476]

The footage of you rumbling through small towns was straight 2 lane black top loved ever second

[@FinnegansGarage]

that's my favorite part of drag n drive events--getting off the highway.

[@davidwilliams9458]

Lol. I don't even remember organizing your trailer.

[@FinnegansGarage]

you'll have that on those big jobs.

[@stevenkaest7306]

Finn you must know someone that can help you set up your shocks?

[@joshwynn1836]

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!

[@hollowpoint357sw4]

Dude, you are the most coolest down to earth rich dude I have ever seen on KZbin. 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. 👍🏻👊🏻

[@ericfaley9019]

Fantastic to see Blasahemi back in action. Great road trip. Rain yea it rains there. Can’t wait for part 2.

[@mratliffjr0001]

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.

[@williamstamper442]

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

[@TedPierson]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you guys!

[@dylangrantz8124]

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

[@jerryloughney4757]

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!!

[@13Monkeys]

Awesome, I love drag and drives! I would love to participate in one myself one day! Can't wait for part 2!

[@aboveaverage007]

Good luck with the car!!! The good news; a beautiful ride through the central part of the US!!!! God Bless the USA!!!

Nice seeing the old girl back on the road hopefully she dont give you to much headache.

[@JamesRichards-ik5yn]

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!!

[@FinnegansGarage]

i love this car! Thanks for watching!

[@bbarnett3469]

Had a very Two-Lane Blacktop kinda feel......& I like it!! Race on brothers & appreciate this time together! Livin' da Dream....... Good on you!

[@houradaywrenching2934]

Now THIS is the content I love haha

[@williamstamper442]

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.

[@erichuff2538]

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. 🙏

[@FinnegansGarage]

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. :)

[@masongiles8443]

Nice!!! I motored on my 96chrysler in the rain for the first time tonight

[@ryanlamfers8692]

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.

[@mattsiev1]

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.

[@danmyers9372]

That would explain the rear bouncing after the initial hit. The other possibility is that something is binding.

[@chestercallahan8856]
