Episode 167 of Mike Finnegan's Garage is all about my trip to Tucson Dragway for the Duct Tape Drags, which is a new event put on by the track and David Freiburger. It's a great event for anyone who wants to have a good time without spending a ton of cash to go drag racing, camping, and doing burnouts. So much good stuff happened while I was there; I met fans, watched the slowest and most competitive drag racing ever, drank some beer and even got to sign off on a new driver's official NHRA Sportsman driver license application. Then I jumped on a plan and headed to Washington to film a new episode of Roadkill. Hope you enjoy the video! Want to help support the channel? Do me a favor and buy some merch at www.fsmgarage.com
Thanks!

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!

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.
