- In Episode 160 of Finnegan's Garage, the owner and driver of the world's fastest street car, Tom Bailey, dropped by the garage to school Mike Finnegan on what to do if the Cadillac ever catches on fire. He also showed off an awesome Fireade system, which will extinguish the blaze without making a mess of the Caddy. Once we got that out of the way, I took Tom for a ride in Game Over, which at the time we shot this video, was not broken! lol.

I’ve seen Tom on several RUclipsr’s channels at this point and he’s always the same, just a cool and genuine fellow. Always helping out other people, he lets guys drive his insane cars, and shares what he knows about how to go fast.
Tom is who most car builder YTers want to be.
Tom also has a yt channel it’s also the same personality. I think that’s why this video is a rerun for me as I think I saw it on his chapel or something in the spring
For real, he seems like the absolute chillest guy. Really pleasant to watch.
"Don't catch on fire." Words to live by.
I've done it,definitely don't recommend it! Fuckin sucks!!
With the proper gear and fire suppression system you'll be just fine
I didn't catch on fire today, job done.
Tom is as chill as they come
Been there done that.he doesn’t even need to say it.We know
He could be a regular on finnigans but mike might actually stress him out
Lmao
“Could you not run the boat between 12 and 1.”
Y’all have very polite neighbors. Might want to invite them over, steaks, beverages. Say thanks.
If the neighbor made a call like that, all that is likely already happening
See you at the cookout
i keep em laced out in imported beer and ribeyes!
Need video of Newbern and Cotton running the grill wearing all appropriate safety gear, fireproof aprons, chef hats, face shields, and oven mitts.

Tom is a titan amongst men in the drag racing world, whom most are not familiar with, and that is a shame.
Even by accident he set a famous youtuber on his path, and his cars set the standard for what is fast and usable for all us home garage hero's.
So cool to have Tom Bailey on! As a former part owner of an alcohol dragster, it's not just the fire suppression system; it's a big deal to wear the right gear and decide the heat proofing you want (there are different levels- Tom talks about this on his channel). This is such a neat channel. Keep 'em coming!
I like that Tom's beard can be used as a dyno, if it lays flat up against his chin you're moving😁
Same with me when my beard folds flat against my neck or splits around the sides I'm happy cuz I'm on my motorcycle
toms thought, at least when i am wet on a lake i can t catch on fire
Lol
He should probably do some wind tunnel testing on that just to set a standard.
@@dustinmiller7278 when the beard splits👌🏼 that’s maximum direct aerodynamicals. It’s a scientifical term I promise 🥴😂
Your neighbor is a model of what kind of neighbor you should be. My neighbors have never complained about what I do, and I have never complained about what they do. If I ever had a problem I would go talk to them directly and I would expect the same. Mutual respect goes a long way.
Can’t wait to see the Caddy making runs. Love the 61 shape most out of all the Caddy styles. 😎👍
Watch out with that automatic sprinkler when you leave the car sitting in the sun man... it gets up to over 160 degrees inside a car on a hot day and that's getting close to that 175 degree threshhold 😅
That’s why they have a remove before race pin.
The bottles have a quarter turn valve that can be shut off when not in use.
That's a T Shirt "mediocre builders". I NEVER miss an episode Mike. Been waiting on a Caddy update. I really need an update video on the 57 though and I know I'm not alone.
also a T-shirt "don't catch on fire"
This brother is right, T-shirt "mediocre builders"
You are holding the Roadkill torch for the rest of the world outside of north america. Please don't ever leave RUclips!!!!!!!
G’day from Australia. Metric the world!!!
Bald Eagle Freedom Units
@@mk3249 Yeah, Freed'um! Who need Metric when you can measure things using Burgers, 9mm bullets and handegg fields as comparative units? 🤣
@@luxtempestas 9mm? As in .... nevermind. Lol
@@luxtempestas that’s the way God and Dale Earnhardt wanted
Hey, howdy. Yes please! Spread your metric goodness to the last bastion of stupidity in the world. Merica.
Have any fire protection for your shop? It would be awful to lose your whole house to a shop fire.
Good idea
Should at the least sheetrock the entire shop ceiling, it be a nasty job though because of all the ducting, but it would "fire block" from the house part, kind of surprised code didn't require that.
an automated system in the shop would be a good idea, especially if the fire extinguisher is on the other side of the shop when there is a fire.
I lost a lot of vintage music gear when my guitar player accidentally burned our practice garage down, agreed.
@@danthomas9077 I really wonder how much that helps though? Not sure how old his place is, but the "wood products" used in the past couple decades (at least?) burn so much quicker that modern homes become fully involved so much quicker, even if they're built to code. Sorry I sound so paranoid. I know they're rare.
13:30. Seeing these two and thinking, Garrett was trusted with both Game Over and Sick Seconds 1.0. That says something about his wheelman capabilities, (and a tiny bit of massive clout).
I was looking for this comment after Finnegan said he doesn't trust anybody (but apparently Garret) to drive Game Over from the passenger seat
Hilarious Tom’s beard at speed, no helmet, no seatbelt, no sunnies😂
You do you people in the wrong side if the wrong, just love putting a Y at the end of every word or name? Lol I kind of like it, but I'm just curious.
He just needs his beard
And after that pass, no skin!! LOL
Mr. Finnegan you're a man after my own heart your toy collection is off the chain protect those toys. I'm a big fan of roadkill and also your RUclips channel been watching you for years love what you're doing my brother
Tom Bailey is the real deal, Chill AF, a great guy and an even better driver! Thanks for having Tom on FSM! Your channel has always been a staple for me and all your content its right after my own heart! keep it coming is all i got to say and thank you for you efforts over the last 5 years of content! it is appreciated!!!!
Yes new from Finnegan and KSR in the same mornin. Finally something to do ona Sunday mornin.....
I love the caddy. It's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen
Mike, I really enjoy your laid back approach to making these videos. You don’t come off fake, desperate or annoying and it makes me excited to see new videos coming out from you and your friends(Dave-hilarious and awesome dude in his own right). Also, the editing has been very enjoyable lately! Perhaps you could do an update on your Garage if anything has changed? Keep doing what you’re doing!
thank you. we are trying to up our game!

Really thought you were going to stay "fastest... ice cream truck" at the end of Tom's introduction. Keep it up Finnegan! 😁
I could just see being at the track on a hot day, pulling into the beams, building boost, bumping in and then POW! Fire suppression system in your face.
EXCELLENT!! I lit one of my trucks on fire a few years ago, was intending to plumb some standard fire extinguishers up, but the mess is terrible, this is way better!
The Top Gun line comes to mind... I feel the need, the need for SPEED!! Love that boat Finnegan
As someone who comes from the Rally side of motorsport where fires are more common (and fire suppression generally mandatory under FIA regs) all I can say is you won't regret spending the money on it after it saves your car or your body.
This is the best ( only) lesson I've gotten in fire suppression.
I've seen many systems in cars,
But never gave it a thought.
Now, I know to look more in depth into this stuff.
Thanks for making me think.
Being a brit I don't understand the whole cubic inch thing so I checked the conversion, 11.65 litres of engine in that boat is just insane , the fact it vibrates the neighbours windows is also very cool , would love to hear that thing in person, the loudest engines I've heard so far was at monster jam with the v8s run on methanol, we just don't get engines this cool in the UK
Great content as always . Nice to see Tom doing things with ya . Mike, anything fast on pavement or water is my happy zone
Anything fast, water, land or air is what I live for
I only own a motorcycle so I'll never need a fire suppression system but I watched it anyway to support the homies. Good shit regardless!
I hit like as soon as I saw Tom Bailey. He's my favorite at Drag week every year and had a good sense of humor when I trolled him about lining up against a top fuel dragster. Tom is the MFin man.
I’m glad the caddy has a fire system in it. Gotta keep yourself safe. I’ve been waiting for a caddy episode. Keep safe while driving are we gonna see blasphemi on the Channel anytime soon?
Game over sounds like a jet engine.
9:50 I think Tom’s video opened our eyes to why we need fire suppression.
You started this channel on my Birthday in 2016. Been subbed ever since. Always excellent to watch! Tom is an example of how we should all act when on fire.
Leave it to car guys to build a monster, tune it to be a monster, then say “ya know what? Naahh” when it comes to engaging the suppression system😂 I love it. And I’m so happy to still have Tom and his crazy ass team🤘🏼
Always a good idea. We rebuild a lot of the fire bottles for the military at my shop. I like the automatic systems, but they aren’t always 100% effective. Sometimes they don’t activate. Manual backup is a must.
Absolutely love the way that boat launches @ 13:53
GREAT VIDEO MIKE AND TOM!!!!! GREAT EDUCATION AS WELL. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Also I love the fact both Finn and Coop have both recently invested in a fire suppression system.
We CANNOT lose y’all. The loss of Jessi was too much as is
That was freaking me out for a minute!! DEJA VUE had to check and make sure.
So glad you guys got to hang out. Awesome video.
This has always been a concern for racers. I am surprised as well that this is not more talked about until Tom's car caught fire. Great job keeping this on a the forefront.
Many know it’s a good idea, but because it doesn’t make the car faster they do the absolute minimum and figure they’ll be fine. Then when someone catches on fire it reminds everybody that it can happen to anybody.
Safety actually usually makes the car slower because it adds weight. But, it sure is nice when something goes wrong to not have a cage made of plastic or a fire system full of nitrous.
I love that jet boat! I think I need one in my life!
Love the state of the art trunk lid strut....
It’s amazing at how far hotrod tech has come considering that our cars in the 70s and 80s were barely streetable at not even a third of today’s horsepower ratings. These guys Drag Week videos are my favorite car related videos to watch. Five second 1/4 mile times @ 230+ was unimaginable in my day, not to mention driving 1000 miles between tracks. PULLING A TRAILER!!!!!!!!
I've been a Subscriber since Early ROADKILL days, love your show.
Years ago GM had converted a bunch (50+) busses to run on methanol and given to Universities for testing. Methanol is extremely corrosive and most of the fuel system had been changed to stainless, but there were a few parts the were original brass. The one at my University had extremely strict rules about startup (fire extinguisher in hand and engine cover open) and a log with yearly replacement of those parts. About half of the busses converted ended up being lost to fire, but we never had a issue.
What you're doing with your team is for the history books you guys fxxxxxx rock
That was on fire! Glad your taking the right steps to not repeat the action.
Great video, Mike. Very informative. As a volunteer fire-fighter and avid car nut, I'd never heard of FireAde, but I like the idea of no mess like you get with CO² or dry powder.
FireAde is amazing stuff, my fire company uses it in all our 2.5 gal water can extinguishers as well in a Stored energy CAFS unit on our squad (Enforcer 10). Having a 2.5 gal water extinguisher around is a great idea and you can refill it at home.
An important video on the safety. It got me thinking even as a normal car driver. Yeah an the boat is just mind blowing. But still if you would be my neighbor and I head a conference, then I would not be so bumped. When a neighborhood runs his awesome boat, well for me is that a perfect excuse to get out off the conference, grab some ear protection and go to the nice neighbor for a beer 😂👍
Finnegan and Tom are truly class acts and look like a helluva good time to hang out with while wrenching
I worked as a firefighter in the oil & gas industry for over 30 years including being a crew chief capping the Kuwait oil fires in 1991. We also supplied fire protection for large frac jobs where high volumes of 100% methanol was pumped at very high pressures through three inch steel lines. We would wrap all connections with paper towel just so we could see if there was fire as methanol burns without smoke and it practically invisible when on fire. Advice to all people using methanol: Purchase a fire system and install it ASAP! These types of on board fire systems keep race drivers out of the hospital burn unit. Well that's my safety speech so be safe and have fun racing!
A surprisingly reasonable price from Mags for the complete system. I was thinking it would be $$$ more. Seems like a no brainer decision if you plan to go fast.
You might have gotten an extra 100k views if mentioned in the title that Tom Bailey was in the house. The guy's a frickin legend. Just sayin'...
Right? "Race Cadilac fire safety with Tom Bailey + Gameover rip" would have been way better
Glad to see a video on the Caddy.
Hey guys, may I please suggest that you bring both bottles and mount them inside with you (I’m sure there are a number of areas on the roll cage/floor)). We always say it will never happen or “the likely hood”, but in the event the back end gets folded so bad that the bottle/s could be rendered useless by being torn from the supply tubing or the bottle discharging on its own from the impact. Just a suggestion. Awesome Caddy - Awesome Boat!!
Awesome leadership with this video and information. Safety was an afterthought for decades and with advancements in speed, there must be additional advancements in safety.
Kiwi nailed it for me i ride motor scooters dude needs eye protection. Some shades or safety glasses. I am usually not that guy but i have been watching Tom almost as long as you.needs both peepers! Thanks for the video!
I could have sworn I've seen a video before of you and Tom on Game Over.
*techtip sunday*
just remember when you are placing the nozzels for the sprinkler, if a sprinkler is hitting another sprinkler with its foam/water that sprinkler is never going of because its cooled down by the other sprinkler. so placement is key. as you know heat goes up under the roof etc so that is often the place where the heat is highest.
guess you already know this but its just a quick tip:)
been mounting fire safety sprinklers for many years, always learning something new!
The only bulb in this system is at the valve, none at the nozzles.
@@michaelgough9164 he was talking about one automated nozzel and one actuated valve.. automated nozzel is a glass bulb that blows under heat , but if u puke water/foam on them they cool down before the could do their job. If u just have one automated nozzel its not a big deal, if u dont pull the manual valve first!
No pun intende but it is a fault that i see werry often!
@@michaelgough9164 may be wrong , but if its a automated valve its realy important that the placement is correct. If the valve actuates a series of nozzels its verry imoportant that the placement is on point.
Raymond I worked with SPA to develop this system. I operate Mag’s Fab Worx and am the person that supplied Finnegin and Tom with their systems. The main point of the bulb in the auto block is to be between you and the fire. Normally on a race car the base of the windshield and top of the firewall catch the heat first. No way to say exactly where or how a fire will react at speed, so I just tell everyone between you and the fire.
@@michaelgough9164 i dont know these systems for cars, im speaking in general firesafety 👍 looks like a good system. So there are just one automated valve that supplyes different nozzels in the cabin? Or are there automated in engine compartment also?
Tom always looks so excited
4 months later we get to see this version.
Best neighbor ever! You should offer him some lake time!
Cool to see Tom Bailey, he's got awesome stuff!
Hi Tommy. You're right on schedule, . Super stoked for the next year
And Mike !!
Thanks for the info guys..... Just ordered a Fireade system for my race car..
The injector o-rings is something we should start treating as a maintenance item. Running E is known to eat up lines and rubber o-rings. Too many cars are being lost from ethanol damage to fuel systems
I believe there is a video of you in the right seat with Cleetus driving the boat!!!
Happy to see Tom here. He's always super nice in person and makes a fantastic pizza.
Safety Tip: It's great to have an automated fire suppression system. If you're unconscious and there's fire, the system will trigger automatically and hopefully save your life.
But there's no need to wear a life jacket in a 1700 HP jet boat. Because everyone can breathe underwater, especially when they're unconscious.
Just wanna say thanks for the content Mike 👌👍 since we can't watch roadkill in Australia anymore your RUclips channel is the next best thing. Cheers mate👌👍😉
Thanks for watching!
Tom is the man goodluck to him and his team
Great to see the Caddy again! Thanks for the video!
That's awesome you had Tom on and I see you kept the Caddy stock steering wheel, very cool 😎
Love the caddy and game over is sick
Chill neighbors. I've both had neighbors that'll call the cops in a second because they could hear my music a tiny bit and neighbors that come walking up with their fingers in their ears while I'm setting timing complaining that they can't adjust their carbs by ear 'cause my car is to loud. Then they want to help.
Thank you for posting this video so much useful information for everyone.
Tom is such a natural behind the camera
I love the Caddie!
Tom's awesome too. Listen to a man that's been on fire.
loving the game over boat !
New t-shirt " don't catch on fire!"
👍
Just clicked and straight from the get-go, you know this is gonna be good.
Damn finn....that caddy is bad ass. Just like everything else you get your hands on.....but yeah those 61/63 caddy's are my ultimate favorite, I would give my ctsv for one!!!.....in a heart beat
Man I’m gonna miss RoadKill now when we got kicked out. Good thing FSM is around. Keep up the good work.
I was in the stands the day his car caught on fire, what a crazy day, also had a top alcohol dragster blow over. And after sun down there was a crazy promod crash/ fire. Gainesville FL gatornationals 2021
That boat is........... why would you need this? Its insane. That engine is outta this world
Finnegan’s Garage,hey Mike Finnegan just watched the Motor Trend video that you and Freiburger did with the goofy Donk Caprice. I’d really like to see you guys build a 331 for that car using your 4.3 L99 crankshaft and an LT-1 block. I’m sure you all would really dig a high winding small block. The Lt’s easily swap to a solid roller setup and the aluminum LT heads are everywhere along with the blocks. 2.02/1.60’s are an easy swap too. I’m right in the middle of a 331 build myself for my 63 Chevy II using a Liberty slick shifted Mopar 833 4 speed. I’m going full gasser with the car but using some Dart 18 degree heads. Plan to keep making power to 9,500 or 10k. I live about 45 minutes from the old Wayne County Speed shop and remember Ronnie Sox making passes at our local strip,along with seeing Grumpy Jenkins 331 inch small blocks at Indy for the US Nationals. At 6 months old,Mom was packing me to the starting line while she dumped VHT for Dad to make passes with his high winding bumper dragging 68 RS/SS 4gear car. I’ve never seen Freiburger tackle anything even remotely close to such a build in the Engine Masters stuff. I know this is a long post but I’m pretty addicted to the LT’s,owning four 94 model Trans-Ams,1 being a hardtop auto car while the other 3 are t-top 6 speed cars. Sorry for the long rant,keep up the awesome work you’ve got a kickass channel and collection!
Michael you have the best guest with you that you could have. Keep up with the awesome content.🤟👍🔥🤞🙏
You just keep doing what you do! It's perfect
Good stuff. The combo of you and Tom works well to say the least.
Safety side of the sport is really stepping it up.👍👍
Great info, safety first. Better than loosing your life.
“Could you not run the boat? Yeah thanks it shakes the windows of my house.” That’s Cool. I would do things to own a vehicle of some kind with a motor in it big enough to shake down my house.
I love the stuff you build. But the caddy is my favorite
One thing most racers rarely do is practice getting out of the car. You are going to feel a bit stupid pretending your car is on fire but run through the motions on a regular basis until you know exactly what you are going to do and it becomes second nature. You do not want to do it for the first time when there is an actual fire.
If you drive rally or anything with a co-driver then practice your drill together and know what you are both going to do.
You are a legend bro ... appreciate you and the content
Hello Mike and David and Tom great video on fire 🔥 suppression system let's hope you never have to use it and Tom never has to again. If I was your neighbor you can start Game Over any time you want Wishing everyone there well Take Care Guys
Every episode is brand new!!!
