Be sure to take some printed t-shirts to put on after the final win with the words "I came on PINKS and all I got was this lousy T-shirt and a Mustang."
Good luck guys.
Good luck guys.

There are a few things I've never understood about Pinks.
First, why doesn't the negotiator just absolutely refuse to budge? If the other side wants lengths or whatever, tell them to pound sand. If they don't like that we can all go home knowing that the other side is a bunch of whiny little bitches.
Why negotiate at all, particularly when we are dealing with a type of race in which our cars dominate when properly built and driven? This is business and there is absolutely no rational reason to give an inch, so screw negotiation.
And screw the producers too. This is a race for pinks. If they want drama they can get a couple of ricers to race.
Second, what exactly are the rules? Are there any HP limits, mod limits, or dollar limits? Is there a written list of rules that we can manipulate to help us totally humiliate and destroy the shittalkers?
We have to do everything necessary to win this race IMO.

here are several answers to you ?s.....
as rich holds the slips....he can actually decide whats fair and can make one side race even if they think its unfair...or he can call a forfeit
they negotiate because it adds drama to the show which in turn makes people want to watch, also for some dumbass reason they usually match up a stronger car with a much weaker car...which is unfair in the first place...ie 95 pro-charged lt4 V turbo civic...or....white camaro V newer yellow camaro....people are going to sandbag and bullshit...which takes away from the cars...
and im not sure about the exact rules...i dont watch it all the time...i think its based on former times....thats why you hear the rednecks..."NOW BOBBY EARL YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DIDNT BRING A 11 SECOND CAR....THAT SUN'BITCH IS EASILY IN THE 10'S"....

just a few clarifications
1. Bringing the fastest/quickest car doesn't guarantee you go home with it. Pinks asked us to bring at least a 10.50 ET car. If the car is faster, it still needs to be able to be detuned for 10.50's.
2. Pinks has asked that we keep the combo on the secret side, for surprise factor on raceday. I don't agree with this, but it is their show.
3. The car will be an automatic, losing a vehicle due to a missed gear would suck. Figure a built TH350/400 for durability and consistency.

Sweet deal I was wondering about why the car wasn't an auto. TH400 FTW! Looking forward to seeing the specs, I'm sure everyone is itching to see them when they are available. Thanks for the update!

3) I don't think you will get any arguments on this. One tiny stutter or miss and it could mean the race. Auto for shizzle.
Is there any info on when this will be aired? Any speculations? I am sorry if I missed something, I just don't want to miss it when it eventually comes on. Good luck to you guys, and you BETTER WHOOP THAT STINGER!!

I agree that bringing the fastest car doesn't guarantee a victory, but it sure as hell gives you the upper hand. In watching the show, it is very easy to see that if you have a faster car, it gives you an advantage. If anything, you'll at least get that first victory. By how much is up to the driver though.

i believe having the fastest car also gives you a huge advantage....its like having the large stack of chips at a poker game
im glad whoever...decided to go with a auto....perfect shifts and bulletproofness should keep that part of the equation on top
