IMO, dont' know the whole story, but poor management* on pinks behalf, from day 1 always wondered, LS1tech vs. SVT performance would have been a race, it was never for sure who was going to race. Now dragging some big tire fiberglass fox body car to race, whats point of watching that vs. a head cam LS1 camaro with a kit on it.

BTW pinks is for real, most of the time, ask Rich Groh.

*PSJ was told by pinks to bring a 10.50 motor car to KC

The 87 mustang was an 11.0 sec. piece of **** painted with spray bomb. I talked to the owners and they were stupider than ****. Sorry Im just mad because I just got home from the race at 4:15 in the morning

I wont say too much because if I did I would probably get kicked off this site. I will say that I got some answers from some of the PINKS crew and if what there saying is true which I really think it was, any respect I had for PSJ is now lost. Must suck to be you! Oh and if this pisses you off, me and three buddies spent $150 for a rental car, drove four hours and spent pleanty more money on gas just to see you race and, well I guess you know the rest.
