Just curious if anyone knows whatever happened to the Blue 68 Bird that ran on Pinks. Saw the rerun the other day and struck my curiosity

Reserve was met (for a little while) but a bunch of bogus bids and such, it sat just below the reserve and Todd ended up with it again I believe.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion but the reserve was not met and that was the rules of OUR show so Tim gave it back and I smoked him with it a few weeks ago with a new motor Just kidding, but I did beat his best time

So now that the cars are getting quicker, is there a chance of a rematch or just keep things the way they are?
