sounds good to me but i need to talk it over with the other guys that are in on this project. i am not clear on what we are considering. would it be best of 5? would there be a moderator and nagotiating? would it be for money and if so how much or would titles be involved? are we looking to do our own copy of pinks? would there be other cars involved?

there would be a few things to hash out before we hit the road but the drive to memphis shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry to hear about not running. They pulled the same crap on us last year. the other team blew up the day before. Pinks told us if we make a pass down the track we would get their car. This was after we called Nate to tell him we blew up. I remember MFing Nordic Track(don't know what his name is the bald Pansy guy). I do agree with the show being f*ct up.

John,

I'll be happy to discuss it or try and help move it along. If you think of how you want to try and conduct it, let me know and I'll approach them with the idea.

Jim, did you hear back from Pinks about your Fairmont? I can give you some email addresses if they never got back to you.

Sure we'd race you. I mis-typed above, what I meant is that we'd have to pill up our car if we raced you.

nope, our car is heavy. full interior, stock front suspension, iron block, turbo400. with driver it is 3200even. if we did the front tubulur suspension and a arms and a aluminum block we would drop around 200lbs off the front of the car but that would be prety expensive.

we built the car to race it for pinks. i dont think we are going to make the drive to memphis unless we are going to race for something big.
