My 632ci Big Block Chevy Nitrous Engine is Trashed!

I made a movie! For Episode 273 of Mike Finnegan's Garage we chopped this footage down to two-plus hours and it is still just barely enough time to convey the rollercoaster of emotions my friends and I experienced during a weekend of racing. It began with the transmission in the ramp truck blowing up. We broke the input shaft and smoked the Third gear clutch while towing our all-steel 30ft trailer with the dragboat inside and a Kawasaki Mule UTV on the back of the Chevy Squarebody ramp truck. When we finally arrived at Wildhorse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, things went from bad to worse as everything under the sun fought us as we desperately tried to stay in competition. In the end we had fun and made memories but it wasn't easy!

    Nothing better than seeing racers come together and willing to do ANYTHING to help out.

    This is not just a video on KZread, it is documentary on jet boat racing - and a really good one at that. Everything was on point. Sorry you didn’t win Finn, but we all know this will push you further next time. Thanks for the good time.

    This was the most finnegan racing I’ve seen in a while 😢 the nitrous at the end killed me. Glad the rods are inside the engine at the end though!

    I walked out of the Titanic in 97 because I knew how it ended. I watched every second of this and I knew how it ended.

    The overhead drone shot at the starting line is genius! Such an amazing view we never get to see!

    I love how, even though everyone’s in competition with each other, they all help each other out. That’s the best

    Long time watcher first time caller. I love these and want more. I know NOTHING about boat racing but when WireCare and crew come together I am glued every time. Awesome "documentary" I want more of Side Chick.

    The most reliable vehicle FSM has is the struggle bus. Youve got one hell of a team Mike. Without such a great team behind you this stuff wouldnt ever be possible.

    As an old guy that ran BFF in the late 70's early 80's then we were outlawed. Still brings a smile and tear to see a good drag boat race. Thanks Mike

    Finnegan setting the new standards in KZread automotive production what a video mate well done! 🍺

  • @loucosentino8454

    Epic film. So well done. I particularly like the part in the film where you're on the ramp getting ready to launch your boat and some guy is praying with you. I think he did that with all the racers. You could have cut that out but you didn't. Way to go Mike! I was a mechanic for FedEx for over 30 years. I've been a pastor for the last 2 years and I know about the necessity of prayer, especially in the days in which we live. Fan for life Mike. Keep up the good work. (make sure you rest up, too)

    You showed what true racers do, they help each other when they are down, because they want to race the best and they want to win knowing they did there best! I loved this video, it was one of your best.
