    In this video I travelled to Arizona with my friends to enter my jet boat into the world final's of drag boat racing. This is a huge deal for me because I love the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports venue and have made a lot of great memories here but I have not ever won an event at this spot. With all the time, money and work I've been putting into Blasphemi recently, getting to this particular boat race was a challenge and during the first two days of qualifying we struggled hard. Check it out and if you want to help support the channel then please visit www.fsmgarage.com and grab some of the new merch.

    Love this sort of content. Doesn't matter if it's boats or cars this is the reality of running at the sharp end as an amateur racer. Stuff goes wrong and the racing community is at it's best when a competitor needs help.

    Do gotta love that your new “job” is stress testing speed parts for various manufacturers while selling merch to keep purchasing parts to stress test. Rinse and repeat. No matter car, truck, bike or boat. Sweet gig brother.

    Great to see some more jet boats! I love all the cars but it is nice to see the boats rip as well. Never really been into boat racing until Finnegan introduced me to it with the Muscle Truck engine to jet boat to Muscle Truck swap in a parking lot episode of Roadkill.
    If I may suggest one thing: get a lapel mic. Rode makes a clip on unit many people use. With a good cover, it should stop most of the wind noise as well. Many of these video's are shot in loud places, so sometimes it is hard to understand what is being said. Of course, you can't mic up everyone, but maybe for the main people in the shot. Does require a sound clap for every new shot or preferably an actual clapper board (they make small ones) to make life easier for the editor.

Dyno pulls and getting high numbers is all well and good, but if you can't put it down on the road when the time counts and you are put out in the first round or sooner because something "broke"... Well.... There you go.. I love the channel and all you do, so it's entertainment to me. Keep on keeping on!
