I told them that in drag racing you dont trust anyone. I have never even watched the show on TV and made my assumptions off of comments made by other people but I can tell you I wont ever watch or attend another one of the "TV shows" clusterfucks.
On a side note I will say the bald headed chickenfucker did have ***** to jump up and go toe to toe with me when I told him his show was a joke.

I think everyone is getting away from the facts here that were pulled by the pinks staff.
1st it was a late model EFI website Shootout.
2nd they gave a Specific ET they were looking for, SO you always Pack Reserves.
3rd At the LAST MINUTE, they pulled a shot and said that the other car wasnt gonna be ready, And they have it filled in with another car.
4th Being Skeptical, They still traveled, spent money, and dealt with bullshit, To try and get the race off. But Typical Pinks feels there giving you the Spotlight, AND the HONOR of being on there show. SO you should do what they say. HA
To me its Sounds like a JOKE. Too many people got Jagged around by the pinks guys.
They Should of had a Backup plan in action, Being the TV show they claim to be.
All you other Leg humpers, Bitching about Free Cars, Sponsors, And what not. Honestly Thats none of your concern, Thats between Psj, Nineball and the Sponsors. When the Sponsors Gave Parts, Time, And what not, They knew the possibility of what can happen and occur, Its the cost of Business. Now im sure some arrangement will be made, Maybe Ls1tech can have it at Sema in someones Booth, And do a Write up video of how EVERYTHING went down, From when Ls1tech was approached, To the Purchase, To the Driving there to The PINKS BS, Let Everyone See the Bullshit that Nate and Rich are on.

Baseline according Nineball. Your right about high 8's a long way from mid 10's.

Its a TV show and all they care about is ratings, every close race on that show is the 'closest race they ever seen' or 'you did the right thing by giving so may cars' and lost your ****. After the last all-out I was at with rich running around telling everyone they better not slow their **** down (it was obvious it was going to be a 10.7-11.0 show) the car that wins the thing ran 9.10s on Friday and was throttle stopped down to 10.70 saturday. Screw that..I assumed the whole thing was just a way for LS1tech and sponsors to get some national TV time, have some fun and not go there to get a 'real' drag race.
Memphis = real drag race..

It helped our race that we set up the race ourselves, then sold it to Pinks as a grudge match.

The whole show is BS. Nobody in the real racing world even races like the show thinks. I see why when a comment was made around some guys who really race they all laughed at me for even going. It was an eye opening experience and I wouldn't take any of it back.

He just wants good TV, he could care less who wins as long as it sells advertising space on his show.

Very exciting race to follow on the internet, like almost being there. I'll still watch the show, I want to see your race
