Just watched pinks and boy did hardcore get lucky that AMP broke. I was rooting for the 3rd gen but I don't think they would have had a chance if that stang didn't break. But I guess thats a part of racing ,being able to build a consistant car that can take the abuse and come back for more. Hardcore was kind of late on the launch ,but that has to be the first block that I have seen break where it did. I hate to admit it but I tivo all the shows

I was thinking the same thing. That T/A would have lost at 4 lengths if the stang didn't break the block. Good episode, couple of good running cars.

I missed it.... do they actually give up the car or is it just for the show?

MidnightStallion

i've heard that the first season you could buy back your car for $50.00 but that stopped after the first season and then you actually got to keep the car.

I heard that one guy sold the car back to the loser for a couple thousand or things like that.

not sure if any of that is true or not but thats what i've read on different boards.

I guess thats a part of racing... not to knock AMP but if you build a car that can barely make it down the track 3 times and then breaks? That's not too impressive, granted it WAS the faster car. Congratulations to Hardcore for building a consistant car that had no problems and driving alllll the way to AZ from Flint... McNeil did a good job driving... Another mustang breaking, haha... Who knows, AMP could of tested the crap out of that mustang in the RIGHT LANE multiple times before the episode was shot... The NOS finally took a toll on the block. Hardcore's car, i believe, was a 9second ride. The stang was easily a 8 second ride. Did they say in the begining of the video to bring a 10.5second car??? I cant remember. I thought it was a great episode even tho Hardcore won by default... A win is a win tho, dont matter how you arrive at it. I'd love to go on that show... It's the most watched show on the Speed channel and this clearly shows why. I hope the rest of the third season is like this episode... No Hardcore was not the first gen3 on the show... There was a silver t/a on the show awhile back. Take r' easy ya'll.

It did a few times by rumor, but I know from talking to a few drivers in season 3 (not sure about season 2) that the swapping back of cars is not going to happen. Contracts they sign pretty much spells it out. There's a topic on Tim Tosto and his brother racing and same thing there, real racing and the 68 Firebird goes on E-bay shortly.

any vid link to this episode?

MidnightStallion

That's cool - at least I know it adds an element of realism to the show.

if they are in danger of loosing their car i'm surpised they let themselves get bullied into taking some of the races they do.

they have to know they are gonna get whooped sometimes.

Almost all the races in the first season were filmed at Orlando Speedworld on a 3 day run in late 2004. Most of the races were local Central Florida racers that all know what each other had, but there were some episodes with guys that really don`t like each other for many years at Orlando.
None of the cars filmed at Orlando were given to the winner of the races. Everyone called BS on the show because no one lost there car, so the second seaon the drivers had to sign over the title to the show Pinks and the winner gets both cars

I am supprised Hardcore brought a car like that to race on Pinks, W2W and Hardcore are deffinately the best dragcar builders for latemodel GM cars and Jason McNeil is an excellent driver, cuts very good lights on a protree(he drives Hardcores 6sec 202mph 2005 GTO)but he seemed late off the line on most of the runs.

seemed late cause he's probable not used to some bald guy that drinks too much coffe flailing his arms up and down to start a race.
that was a good episode. Too bad about the break.

Well, when you have a stupid *** like Rich Christiansen flagging the races you would find difficulty in it as well. Rich knows NOTHING about cars, nor racing. He has even admitted it in the Hot Rod magazine interview about the show. I think the show should be on a pro tree, no flagger. They say it is not "Street Racing" but yet thet use that tool to flag the race.

Congrats Hardcore!
