What I'm more focused on is the fact no buyback or cash race even got set up. Someone was butthurt and kept us from racing, after everything was hashed out and everyone seemed in perfect aggreement -- in the lobby prior.
FYI -- it's time ....

There wasnt a contract signed by PSJ. That was one of Nates complaints. No contract was being signed until we saw the car. All this weekend proved is that "punks" is a joke and is a set up deal for TV. I will just stay with the real racing and let the ricers and such have the TV show.

I know what it costs to build a Mustang. At one point in my life, I was a Ford gal. 351w carb, n2o, suspension... that wasn't a 20k car. I'm not sure I believe that it ever went 8.80's with that set up, but if the owner wants to make that statement, so be it. I know that we wanted to race the Blue Oval guys... we didn't get our race and we are still working on that. The whole Pinks thing was a joke and things just went way out of hand. I think several stories and side conversations were making the whole racing experience more than it had to be. Maybe someone on our end screwed up but we weren't given the "if you do this... this will happen" speech nor do I know anything about the contract. There, I am going by what I was told. So, it became a big cluster **** and now this is where we are. We have given up on Pinks... but not on our race. Stay tuned.

I emailed the show two years ago. They got back to me five months ago and expressed interest in having us on the show. I had pitched the idea of having two internet communities race each other.
The result was that they paired us up with a shop/site that was going to put together a 2000 Mustang GT to run against our 2000 Camaro Z/28. Shortly before the even they told me that the other racer had pulled out, and that they were subbing in carbureted 1987 Mustang GT from Kentucky. It unraveled from there. They indicated in email and on the phone that the guy was low 10’s on motor and he was going to have to slow it down. I agreed to roll with that. I did not like how things were shaping up but we wanted to still race since everybody had tried hard to get the car together.
We were at the track Friday night, and watched them film the MI vs MI episode. During and after that, about five people from the other pairings (MI vs MI & Turbo Mustang vs. 2nd Gen camaro) came up to me or other guys with me, and told us that our opponent told them that they run 10.2 on motor and 8.80 on nitrous. I never talked to Nate or anyone at the track that night because they were too busy, they were filming. Stephanie in production knew we were doing paperwork the following day at noon.
I called Nate the following morning, I said we wanted to talk to him at the track and I wanted to verify that he would be there with Stephanie. He was he was at Waffle House. We went there too since that had already been our plan. I talked to him for a while, and said “I want to talk about how fast those guys are on the bottle, we have nothing for that. I have all our time slips can I get them and can we go over them.” Now keep in mind that they did ask us how our car ran, and Nate said that it was possible (way before the event) that he might hit the track with us. So I always assumed that we should disclose all information.
