Exactly what I was going to point out.
You can always tell people who street race regularly and track queens. The track guys always want a heads up race with some huge tire car on a solid roller cam that they just dragged off the trailer up the street but claimed to drive it out to the spot against some full weight, full interior fbody, launching on 17in rims...gimmie a break and get real.
If you want a fair race, go to the track. If you want to make money and see a decent race, go street racing.

Say you were told to bring an 11 second car and you brought your 11 second car, the other guy brought a 9 second car and claimed it was a 11 second car. I am sure after the first run or two you might be crying for lengths or something cuz you realize half way through 
. I bet you wouldn't be saying "What a ***** cause he had to ask for car lengths". One team clearly gets screwed almost every episode thats why they end up asking for crap. If the people that run the show actually verified the cars were near equal in performance the show would be so much better and the negotiations would not be so rediculous as the are sometimes. Its not NHRA and all cars arent equal they arent putting 2 cars with all the same mods up against each other.

If I showed up and ended up going against a car that was 2 seconds faster than mine because I was lied to, you know what I'd do? Pack my **** and leave - with my car and my title. And it don't make me a *****, it makes me a level-headed person. If some random ******* can't be straight up about what he's got and felt he needed to lie just to win then he'd be the *****, not me. You make a valid point but I still stand behind mine.

Overall, I like Pinks - some particular shows do suck, but that's to be expected. I really don't mind the host, the negotiating, or the BSing. I've seen far worse on the street. I've stood out all night in the cold listening to some pretty cocky bastages try to BS each other for some race that never happens. At least if you watch the show, the BS is limited and there's always racing.
Personally, I don't blame someone for fudging on their car's numbers. When I used to street race, I wouldn't tell anyone my real setup, even for a $20.00 run. IMO expecting honesty in street racing (or on PINKS) is pretty naive - and a sure way to loose. Always bring more that you admit and expect everyone else is doing the same. That's just the nature of the beast...

that episode is going to be reviewed and show that the Miller team was BSing and overall "cheating". They up the shot when they said they needed to look over everything. They also had to have had more to the nitrous system than what they were showing. also was it just me or did they have a blanket HIDING the bottle when they went to check the cars out? I think it will end up a learning tool for the producers of pinks.

they should take a real engine builder/gearhead as a host and have him inspect the competitors, before the race and let him decide the negotiations or at least match up the competitors fairly, a dude that is familiar with all types of engines of all brands and parts, and is not going to get fooled to much
dam i want to go on that show becuz i just want to clock that queer host
always hit the weak ***** inthe mouth
**** doesnt even know a turbo from a sc let alone how an engine works
stupid anger management
that bastard just aggrevates me

I have been street racing for a long time. I hit the streets in 1995 with a 89 Iroc-z on bottle. Yes, It is alittle like street racing but with very high stakes. I can usually size up a car on the street before I race it but I would not put my title on it.
What I don't like is they say bring a 11 sec and they bring a 9 sec car. It is street racing with bs rules they don't enforce. I agree if its gonna be heads up racing run what you brung then don't set a time. You bring what ever you think will win someone elses car 7 sec turbo stang or a 6 sec pro mod. They need to set guidelines!! or the show won't last.
