This is the story of how myself, 12-Volt Dave, Cotten, Merlin Johnson, Kelvy Limon, and Brian Macy took Blasphemi to Las Vegas November 1-2, 2019 for the NHRA Dodge Pennsoil Nats, won a grudge match against another Gasser, and then went out cruising.

Blasphemi has been on a tear lately while winning Hot Rod Drag Week’s A/GAS class and then winning a best two of three grudge match in Vegas. In Vegas, it ran 8.63, 8.66, 8.68 and 8.69 passes at over 155 mph. The darn thing is reliable and consistent enough to be a bracket race car even with the stick shift and straight axle suspension.

Now that the racing and cruising is over we’ve driven the car into the convention center for the annual SEMA Show and we’ll have videos of this awesome event coming throughout the week. Stay tuned!
