Yeah...what's up with that? Just paid $20 to see it. Walked through the pits, watched a couple of our local guys do some kick *** exhibition runs and then went searching for the LS1TECH car. Called a buddy who lives over the by the hotel they are staying at and he said the car was on the trailer. I hope they backed out because NO ONE wanted to race them...if not i'll be very disappointed. The whole PINKS production has begun to be VERY lame. Gates opend at 3pm and the first race wasn't until until almost 8pm. PLus they were charging $20, you couldn't bring any coolers in and there was no re-entry. I'm gonna throw out a big

WTF? This is BS. Didn't alot of sponsors donate parts and work on this car? I'd be super pissed if I were them.

All this buildup and no race. Jeeeez......

I wonder what happened. For some odd reason I think it has to do with the mustang crew, hmm.

Maybe it's all a big rumour, and the filming location was kept a secret. The Kansas City, MO setup was just so the real race could be hidden til the show aired on TV.

I don't want to risk getting banned by saying too much, but in talking to a few Pinks staff members the official word I got was "Some people don't think Pinks is for real"
I don't want to say much else until I hear the whole story, but I have to say I'm extremely disappointed we didn't get to see a race tonight. The LS1tech race was the only reason I went out tonight. I only drove 30 minutes to see it and am still disappointed. I'd be absolutely livid if I drove multiple hours such as many of you did.

From the response I got, I wouldn't believe a bit of it. Everybody I spoke with did a little two step whenever I mentioned the matchup. Additionally, Rich was pretty fired up in the negotiations of the first race mentioning people backing out at the last minute. It happened a lot today.

What a joke, sponsors help build a car to race on a TV show.. then the car your going to races backs out, and a new one is found.. then the "if you win will you give it back line is said" and the MUSTANG guys say NO WAY.. and what happens next PSJ backs out..

I'm sure it will be twisted a little different but I WAS THERE!!!

Couldnt they have negotiated lengths for the Camaro if the Mustang was an 8.80 car? They must have tried that Im sure. This is a huge letdown.

Who threw out the "if you win will you give it back" line? Was it the Pinks staff or PSJ and crew?
