I love how Rich came out and said "You'll win that race" during a negotiation. He wasn't even trying to be a neutral middle man. He told the guy, you've given and given, what do you want. I also love how they went heads up all out on the first race and the T-bird got beat by like 4 lengths. Then when it's 3-3 they want to do the same race again? That **** isn't negotiation, its robbery. The guy in the T-bird got a good start on the last one and got lucky. I just really don't like where this show is headed/already is.

the thunderstang is faster than the mustang. we have ran them a few more times and proved it. We had a mix up with the distributor. It was said to be locked but Johnny realized that it wasn't when we took some timing out before the last pass. So instead of 28 degree's of timing it was closer to 40 which was causing it to lift the heads and push water

I agree that whole new 10.50 tuneup **** is bullshit also your back to bracket racing and if you run to fast you lose the race which is ok but its still bullshit. They are taking the show in a bad direction but yeah I caught that to about rich saying you'll win that race I was like wtf nice job trying to be the middle man

I remember that too im sure he got his chevelle back. That vette was a rocket and no way he could outrun it but he still tryed. That vette was junk execpt for the motor and what not but I would not want to risk that chevelle for that vette so it was staged and I highly highly doubt the vette guy kept that other dudes car but it was a interesting race

look through the pics I posted. He was doing pushup's(against a floor scrubber) in 100+ temps before the show. We thought he was trying to push start it

I'm not really a fan of regular pinks since the negotiating is BS. They don't let the racers actually negotiate - Rich just bullies the racers into racing the way he wants. It's still entertaining enouigh to watch, but it's still frustrating.

Pinks All Out is much better.

,. I think I still might have Rich on my myspace friend's list but I've also noticed certain negotiation tactics that I don't agree with either. ..I honestly think that whenever its a big day with a huge crowd, he's under an *** load of pressure to get a race done that the crowd will like. I don't think he's trying to show favoritism consciously but he wants to make a race that will get some great ratings in the end.

I've never had a street race where I've had to give lengths, that's one of the things I don't like about pinks. I still watch and yes the mustang with the ls1, I guess the ford guys need to switch to chevy..I mean most of them are already using the motors....
