Hey Everybody-the sound does work but TH-cam is still processing the video so it seems to only have sound on laptops or if you're watching it on your phone at 360P screen resolution. thanks for your patience. This is the longest video we've ever uploaded before and I think YT it just taking its sweet time optimizing it for all devices.
Thanks 😀 I'll save the video a couple of hours then. Have a happy new year 😀
it's giving me 2009 youtube era, we're good.
Stupid computers.......lol👍🏁
Audio is great for me so far, image quality is still low but I'm watching the crap out of it anyway lol. Happy new year!
Thanks, I restarted TH-cam and now have sound.. Happy new year from New Zealand
High fives to the guys of Snake Industries and all other part suppliers on route and thanks Mike, Tony and road crew for having the foresight to record this journey. Awesome to watch.
Great video thank you and your team for a glimpse into your life. Please more videos like this.thanks again
Why don't you keep oil filters in ziplock bags to keep clean filter can pick up all kinds of dirt just hanging around in a tool box man

Jake the Snake has so much knowledge, loved the way he just jumped in and showed us how to do stuff.
"I've seen this car in the videos, and I want to do that in real life "
Don't we all, little dude. Seriously Mike and Tony, you guys are inspiring so many to begin a journey into cars and racing, I'll forever be grateful to you guys as well as Freiburger to have given me the cars bug. Much love from Canada 🏁
This was insanely good. Best video series i have ever had the privilege to watch. Thank you all of you
Thanks for watching!
@@FinnegansGarage very very great video thanks must appreciate!!!
And yes 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Amen Brother! The BEST videos ever!!
Love everything you put out learn a lot thank you
Just want to say this, it's not everyday you can find a life long friend that will endure all the downfalls you run into whether it's racing or life in general. Tony Angelo is that type of friend. You are someone to look up to. Tony I live in West York, PA (just a couple miles from the airport where US 30 Dragway used to be) and I'm going to plan on a trip to Philadelphia sometime this summer. I would very much like to meet you in person if that's all right.
God bless the both of you!
Props to Tony Angelo A true best friend in the blood sweat and tears of Blasphemi. Love to see you guys working together.
Damn , the Production Quality is THROUGH THE ROOF!! I hope the folks over at the Discovery Channel were taking notes cause these guys put on a Clinic!!!
That first burnout at beechbend, literal goosebumps.
same! i'm so happy now.
The reactions in the background of all the people watching said it all for me.
Just think, at any point you could have given up and went home. But then what an epic adventure you would have missed 👍🏻🙌🏼🔧 I know it sounds crazy, but no I really want to do Drag Week now 😂😂😂🔧🔧💰💸💸💸💰
When you started it up to head the line, the dude in golf cart jump and flip around was everything 😂
the engineer hiding in every car person has to appreciate the precision within a top fuel engine person!
YES!
Id love to see more content of this nature from you guys, im sure it wasnt cheap to have the camera crew follow you guys around the whole time, but if it becomes profitable, Id love more document-type content!
i'd love to continue doing these types of videos. they are very expensive to produce, but i'm going to keep doing as many of them as i can.
@@FinnegansGarage Hope so because this was worth the watch. I stayed up until 7AM to finish it. Time to nap and catch some NFL at 1am.
I agree if the budget opens up for that . In them mean time use that cash for parts & fuel .
I love the long format. Thanks guys
@@FinnegansGarage I'm going to have admit that at first I didn't want to watch such a long video. But because of the awesome video production I sat all the way through and was absolutely glued.
Who says Americans have a short attention span? I didn't want this to end!
And I learned so much.
Thanks Sir!
Did anyone else get a tear in their eye during the pass at Beach Bend?
The success after all that struggle got me. Well done, Mike and all included. That was an amazing rollercoaster.
This (and Part 1) was some of the best work you’ve shown us ever.
The blood, the sweat, the tears, the sheer stupidity of it all, and just the need to drive the damn car come through loud and clear. Bravo!
Thank you finnegan and Tony for bring one amazing moments from 2022 hot rod drag week and blasphemi its back
Mike, I said this after part one, and I feel I need to say it again...tell Chris and Marina to make this a full length documentary and go enter some film festivals. It's THAT good! You are right, we'll never know the full story of how you and Tony made it thru drag week, but Tony said it best and Chris captured it "the tracks we visited are the friends we made along the way". The film gave me the total feels... now go follow Tony when he runs the Pontiac for Sick Week (you hear that Tony, your car is a beast and have Chris document it for your channel on the other network). God bless you all and Happy New Year!
For reals!
These documentaries will become the legends that drove the next generation hotrodders to keep her going
Snake is man full of knowledge,👏 Mike couldn't have been in a better place 👍 Aussie Fan 💪🇦🇺🆒
Love watching/listening to people who are elite in their field. Shout out Snake 🐍
Tony is an absolute beast! Mike you are blessed having him in your pits. Brilliant video series. Love it.
I could watch this every night for the rest of my life. The reality of all this is, I love!
So awesome the guys at Snake enterprises are willing to help you guys out! The rebuild may not have been possible with out their help and quite possibly saved that engine from future issues! What a great ending to a hard fought week!
Thanks for this Mike. Whatever it cost to have this filmed like you did, I think it was worth it. This was great. Sorry you didn't have the Drag week you wanted. But thanks for taking us with you!
The addition of Chris Read (And the rest of the production crew on some of the videos) to your channel has been great. This was perfectly produced and edited and not overdone like a lot of TH-cam productions. It was a pleasure to watch someone else struggle so I could commiserate with my own garage struggles! 🤣🤣
Absolutely loving this drag week ride along Finnegan! This is some of the best racing/car content I've seen on youtube to date. I really enjoy these long form unfiltered vids, its like pulling up a chair in the garage with friends. I've spent many long nights covered in grease trying to push through, working on cars in my youth and can totally relate. Tony is a true friend, getting greasy and doing whatever it takes to help out, what a legend. Thanks for the videos!
You ever watch a movie and you don't want it to end? That's what this was! Epic.
Best video series I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you Mike for doing this. My late wife never cared much for motor trend shows but she always watched when your show was on here.
Probably the longest thing I've ever watched on TH-cam and loved every second of it. Favorite Roadkill episode was the 2019 Drag week so happy to see you and Tony back together turning wrenches. Pure perseverance
Finn! This was truly amazing. It really is a credit to you and how commited you are to just enjoying what you do. You and T make a great team and think it's a credit to you how everyone is willing to chip in and help you
We appreciate all you do. Thank you for the content.
"i barely remember the things i've won, it's the losses that stick with me" brother you said a mouthful with that one
What an awesome road movie. The cool people you meet along the way, the shit that breaks, all the ups and downs... amazing to watch!
I seen these as they came out a few months ago. Very crazy stuff. As a guy who also does insane stuff with cars. I know how it feels to work on something for so long and hard to have it break over and over and over again. It never ends. But that's why we never quit.
Part 1 and Part 2 are two of the single best video logs of all time. The small family business in part 1 that helped you, amazing. Snake Enterprises, Jake and crew, total utmost respect!
Tony's patience and knowledge, amazing. Mike, excellent commitment... 😏 Seriously, great job all.
Couldn't agree more!
This series is the best thing I’ve watched on TH-cam in a long time, thanks for showing all the trials and tribulations of drag week! Totally appreciate!
The BEST videos I’ve watched in FOREVER. No script, no b/s, no hidden product commercial - just real world struggles and wins. Thanks to FSM for the great series and channel, bravo!
The scenery makes me feel like I'm on a road trip..Great Camera Work Guys!!
This is what hot rod magazine should be, not the high dollar show pieces. Thanks for sharing
Mike, I watched every minute of both series. The highs, the lows. All of the trials and tribulations. That pass at the end when the car worked had me clapping in my chair with teary eyes. Good going to all of you. What a great story to watch. You, Tony and everyone involved rock!
This is s wonderful way to finish out 2022. I watched all of the "short tales"as they were available
This was great Finnegan! Thank you for the content
I'd no idea how much I truly had invested into this car, a car I've never actually seen in person.
I've watched and watched and watched this car for years and years and that's why it's my favorite car on TH-cam.
Watching you do a 9-second pass at a track an hour from the small town I lived in for only a few years as a teenager brought more joy to my life than you can even imagine. Joy I didn't realize I needed.
Thanks for filming all your experiences, filming your life, and posting it for the world to see.
Thanks to you and all the "car nuts" you come in contact with.
Car Nuts: the real people you meet that show being nice, being kind and helping someone you've just met is a pretty good way to live your life.
Thanks again to you, and to Tony, for showing that just because it's difficult, demanding and dirty, doesn't mean it isn't freakin' fun.
🤘😵🥃Cheers and Happy F'n New Year!!
I think I speak for all of us, that I wanna see Finnegan build something again at Jake's shop. What a great segment!
That was a long watch, but all this is what I love about the car community, especially racing. Everyone jumping in to help and support one another. So awesome! So great to see the car make a run at the end. I would like to know how much fuel it burned on the run. Great video! Be safe!
Finnegan/ Tony you guys are the Best!..Couldn't of wrote a better story..Greatest Ever!! Happy New Years!!
Man you owe that guy alot! Super nice of him to help you guys rebuild the hemi.
Awesome, just finished watching Vice Grip Garage's latest episode (which was incredible). Now your episode can keep me away from the ham I just took out the oven for a couple of hours 😂
Happy new year!
Gents, This wasn’t a YT video, this was a full feature film. I’ve never enjoyed anything on YT like I did this. I’ve lived all these ups and down…over a lifetime, not in a week. Feel good and cars doesn’t get any better. Oh yeah, what a way to showcase the automotive community; it’s who we are, all of us! #bravo
Hell yeah, been impatiently awaiting this one to drop! 2019 drag week was an emotional rollercoaster with this car.
Awesome I’ve been waiting all morning to watch this. Episode 1 was epic you guys are the best 👍
The drag week videos are the best you’ve ever done. I was captivated the entire time.
When these two movies came out, I thought "I ain't got time for these"... but I knew I'd have to watch them. Now I appreciate why you wanted to share the whole experience. I wouldn't have wanted to miss a minute of this.
tony's a real one
Every car guy needs a friend like Tony. That dude is my hero
Jake Sanders is awesome!
I got no sound
Properly building an engine is a technical art. Much respect.
This is a really RAD episode! To find a shop like that to work on the car was a lucky stroke. The shop owner and all his friends helping was awesome
The amount of comments about no audio when it was just posted when that issue is a common thing on youtube is astounding SMH, wait 5 mins or refresh page and audio will likely be working.
ALSO its a 2hr video, youtube takes time to render in HD again be patient people, damn!
T'is damn near 2023, and this still has to be explained.
EDIT - your comment really needs to be pinned, lol.
It has sound on my TV but not my phone. I wonder if it's an Android thing.
Its been half an hour now and it still doesnt work. You think its still a TH-cam issue with the render?
@@lunsy9420 thanks mate. I'll try that.
Happy new year's!
@@Deuce1550 Works fine on all my devices. Weird that is...
Hey . No sound.
I have sound
I have no sound
No sound here either
No sound here either
Same.
You know, every young man needs a lesson in humility so he can truly understand how special it is when the stars align and it all comes together. You came through it with flying colors and never quit. That's a win in my book!🇺🇸
I think your drag week saga epitomizes the saying taken from the movie Galaxy Quest, " Never give up, never surrender ".
Great job Mike, Tony, the crew, and everyone else that helped make it happen!
Fast forward with Finnegan. Quick recap to save 2 hours. Finnegan has expensive toys he doesn’t know how to fix, he also doesn’t test anything because he’s busy being a social media influencer. Don’t forget to like and subscribe and buy his merch.
Perfect comment in every way
That’s the power of perseverance right there and lots of good people! 👍🏽
So I’m watching this, and just as you’re finally making your pass, the clock strikes in the New Year……. nice.
Loved these episodes.
you guys blew me away with all the work you did to that 55. also all the goodwill from each of you to each other. that is a totally awesome 55!
Love it anytime you and tony get together yall work great together and it’s entertaining
big shout out to the editors btw. the splash screen for chapter 6 nearly had me weeping. 😢😭😭😹😹
This was a well done Rollercoaster of a series 👏. You and Tony are good together. You need to take Tony Jet Boat racing 👌🏻
Jake is the man!!!
I absolutely loved this two part series. Man, so many struggles, and so many good people met because of those struggles. Your never give up attitude is awesome. But I will say, the internet is wrong in my case. After the last five years of racing and constantly getting kicked in the nutz over and over again, I am still waiting for the supposed success I have earned with all the thrashing and back breaking work.
fantastic couple of videos, shows the true friendship of drag racers to help fellow racers. round of applause to everyone who helped.
I truly love what y'all have done with this car this week, but by far the best part is seeing the community going above and beyond for each other! 💚
Truly an inspiration to those who run drag week on what not to do. Never take an untested / unprepared car. Not being hateful, just truthful. Love the show, keep it up.
Hi-Five to the ramp truck, came in clutch every time and never died. Props to Junkyard Digs, his channel is always entertaining.
I was ready to throw down a hugely sarcastic "You mean FSM doesn't roll to Drag Week with a HAAS on the back? Pff, tourists..." but after the battle of all battles, ya'll earned the Gold Star of Dedication!
Drag fam's like drift fam, everyone helps everyone. You'd rather help someone get their car out to compete against you than go through on a bye run, it's awesome. Best people love the drift fam.
What an emotional rollercoaster. Good on you boys for not giving up. It's all about the journey and not the destination, and bloody hell did you boys have a journey. Good on ya's!
Thank you for sharing our wonderful sport with many who may not know it exists. I went to my first race as a child. Now i am honored to be able to spend my weekends maintaining a vintage unlimited hydroplane. The Miss US U-36 originally owned by George Simon. We love to come up to Lake Chelan in October and run with the rest of the fleet. Great people at HARM. Thanks again for sharing this video.
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a long time. It should win something! What an emotional roller coaster you guys were on and we got to experience it with you! TA is the best wingman a drag racer could have. So happy for you that you were able to take Blasphemi for its maiden voyage with its new engine. I almost teared up when you made finally that pass, lol.
I like to rewatch this when I need a reminder that it doesn’t always come easy when you’re doing anything mechanical.. the grind will pay off eventually and when the journey beats you up the finish is always worth it.
This two part series was amazing! So glad to see Blasphemi back in action
What an epic finish to the most determined team out there. When you hit the burnout box, I was smiling. When you hit a wheelie I almost got wet in the eyes. Well done to everyone to make it happen.
Awesome 2 part series! Kudos to all and especially the film crews to capture all the highs and lows!
Holy cow, yall lucked out on that one. The U-joint that is. I had that exact thing happen, and it busted the entire transmission in half between the bell housing and tailshaft.
This was so amazing. Drag week I spent 14 hr days bustin it to be ready for a long work week. Took this day off for the purpose of seeing blasphemi, and mike and tony, along with the spider garage guys and not only got to see them and speak with them all but made the video ( thanks for signing my book for my daughter ) but also got to meet so many more amazing people this day. The rain sucked but it was worth it.
thank you!
There's nothing like the feeling of being on the edge of defeat and having that break through moment. Your body aches, mind is cached, then something goes right and things start to fall in place. That feeling is why we do it!
I absolutely love that you do these long form video series. I get completely immersed into the stories. I feel like I was there with you guys. It helps when you have high quality people in them like Tony and yourself.
I raced two weekends in a row (Loudon and Pocono) back in the 80's. Though it's been nearly 40 years ago, I remember it all! These are the days you will always remember.
Fun fact about Shakey's Pizza was one of the owners was a man by the name of Gordon Apker. He was a hardcore car guy. Had two collections, one in Washington and one in Phoenix. Him and his wife were very nice people. I met Gordon while working at a small automotive restoration shop where I worked on several of his vehicles, and he was a participant in the Copperstate 1000 road rally here in phoenix that I was a route mechanic for. He took a Ferrari 275 and one of my fav pics I took at the event was him and Janet sitting it in looking at me. When I knew him, his collection was mostly Hudsons, Kaisers, Imperials, etc. I did a ton of work in a Chevy C-10 (I forget the exact year, but it was early 70s) and I asked him why he had it, as it didn't really "fit in" with his collection - and he said it was the first new vehicle his parents ever owned, and he bought it for them. When he picked it up, he drove it back to his warehouse and I followed him in what he drove to the shop I worked at - a brand new V12 Aston Martin. That told me what kind car guy was - a good one. Sadly he passed away in 2016 but I had a ton of fun working on his eclectic collection and talking cars with him.
I grew up on Shakeys. In the 70s, the only 2 pizza joints in Port Angeles, WA, were Pizza Pete and Shakeys. In the 80's, I went to the Shakeys in Bellingham, Wa. I miss them both!
I don't know how you guys find the energy to keep on going... but good for you that you do. Computers and cars, it seems like bad combination at times, or at least frustrating at best. You guys are blessed to have a lot of good connections and a great film crew! I hope you make more movies like this one, I was all grins at the end when you finally got a good run in .... finally! I'm glad you have some good patience and kept a good attitude throughout all the ups and downs! God bless you guys.
My Wife and I watched this last night right through and past midnight. Best New Years ever. Staying off the couch and going out and getting it done is what it’s all about. We can appreciate what you went through in this trek. Lower, lower ,lower your expectations until you achieve a goal. Great way to look at things. And because of it a car I have had sitting for 10 years will get on the road this summer.
I most admire the patience. Any car I own fight me that hard, it's got a very limited number of opportunities to impress the hell out of me or it goes on Marketplace. Two weeks on there, if it doesn't sell it gets loaded up, set a cardboard box on the hood, tow it around until the box flies off; whatever junkyard is nearest is the one that car picked for its final home. Great presentation, good content, but I have nowhere near the patience that car requires to just go down the road five miles, much less the strip at speed.
The smile on my face when you finally made that pas went from ear to ear. Thanks for these uploads of the drag week
If only Finnegan had driven the ramp truck hauling Blasphemi down the racetrack like the Gremi. Epic way to salvage a bummer of a week competing at drag week with an epic documentary of the events of the experience. Thank God the ramp truck never missed a beat. Great job everyone.
Mike this was the best segment of videos I have watched in a long time. You made some great friends and now they are part of your bigger family.
That motor is a piece of machine art. Beautiful to look at and an absolute beast when alive...
Dude props to you guys… so many roadblocks and you guys just kept hammering! That’s so refreshing to see, most people would have thrown in the towel when the engine rings layed down. Much respect mike, thanks for hanging in there and doing what you do.
My favorite line for letting the guy lining up the bolts on the engine stand know he's slacking.... "HEAVY THING NOT GETTING LIGHTER! HURRY UP!"
this is what keeps our sport and passion alive. the ability to meet people and give their hand without even knowing each other. true passion
☝️☝️Let's talk private ✍✍.
Thank you Mike and Tony for making it to a movie, still chasing bugs take it out for a long cruise.. keep at it and you will prevail
One thing is for sure - Tony Angelo is the best friend ever.
Jake has more talent him self than most racing teams have together. I have been to his shop a few times and it’s amazing what he has accomplished on his own at such a young age. From building his one off carbon Mustang Nostalgia funny car body to his shop he did it on his own and like him or not you got to respect that. I know I do. He has also successfully tunes many classes of cars and is the biggest nitro prodigy ever.
really loved the shout out to the fans that gave the tool box. if that were me, it would mean alot to me. cant imagine how cool that was for them
Nothing but awesomeness
