The funniest thing I can remember about pinks was when Rich jumped on that crotch rocket and crashed. And before this happens, he talkin **** to the bikes owner. OH **** I started cryin. I swear, i was drinkin a beer and when I saw him jump on the bike a loose control in the first 3 seconds of his ride. I spit corona all over my 60" plasma. My wife thought I was having a seizure. But anyway, I hope that you guys get a second chance.
PS Nasty dog..LOL he has lost like ten cars on that show, How can he even show his face.LOL

I hope this site does get to take someone like Corral on. But I would never race for some POS car that is worth nothing...with all the money that was in the LS1Tech car. Sweet looking car too.

Our car only went 11.3 on motor (1.60) with this converter. I think we can get more out of it on motor but we did not have enough time to play with it. We actually changed the converter out the week before we went to race, and it slowed the car down. The converter was in and out of this car 4 times the last week.

No, I might as well. I'll do a write-up. I wanted to get the car out again before writing it up since we never did more testing with this converter, only have like 2 hits nitrous, and 2 hits on motor.

Rich is a pretty mature person, so the clip of him dropping the bike was aired because he was okay with it.
But I've talked to other folks who raced that weekend, and whole change of going from 3/5 to 4/7 was sprung on folks on Friday and most folks did not like it. Other thing was for race #7 for those guys, they had a hurt trans and asked for spots, which they had given in some past races. They were denied and had to run heads up. Not fair.

They usually have a circumsized area of interest which usually leaves no space for more age appropriate, common interests. Some examples are cars, trains, French Literature, door *****, hinges, cappucino, meteorology, astronomy or history.

You guys made the right choice.
Sometimes you have to listen to their own theme song and "walk away......"
As someone the did a Pink All Out, I can tell you it seemed to be a joke. There was no organization and in the end the prize was a split. Our tech was fine, since it was the same guys that always do it. The show also seemed to reserve a lot of spot for their "friends".
Best part was Rich walking on the track, he shoe got stuck and on his rear he went.
