PINKS ALL OUT @ Virginia Motorsports Park Went there and participated, ran like crap but had a few high points like below.
I just snapped pics of the professional ones I bought, I'll try and get them scanned for a better digital look.
Crew and Me
Day 1 best launch pic
Day 2 Launch, not bad for a full weight, still having the sway bar hooked up stick shift car, gotta love it.

Thanks, taking pics of pics, only way at the moment to get them digitally. The Pro people at the track were stingy about letting people get a digital copy. I don't have a scanner, so this will have to make do.
As for the event, 2 days, 4 passes. Friday was Tech in of 475 cars and 2 TnT passes if you were lucky. My first Friday pass was the first launch pic, and I felt the tires giving me a little slip through all 4 gears resulting in a 12.01 @ 115. The Second pass that day, I spun the Mickeys, resulting in a 12.53 @ 114.98. The track temps both days got to around 140-150 degrees. It was 90 degrees out with about 75-80% humidity for Friday and 85-93 degress about the same humidty for Saturday. The Saturdays passes, on my first one (second launch pic) I hit 2nd instead of 4th resulting in a 12.8x @ 98. 2nd pass (Rich Arm Drop Pass) once again, tire spin, even dropped the air pressure. Resulting in a 12.54 @ 115.xx. I was so pissed about that, cause that was the glory pass to pull the wheels for Rich and Co. The car has done better in better air and temp as in my sig below. DA on both days was like 2200-2700
I'll give a slight spoiler, the VMP Pinks episode will air at the end of August or Early Sept., and the All Out 2 is 2 F-Bodies. Neither are LTx or LSx powered though

1 for sure is a SBC, and I want to say the other was too. No power adders not even a Nitrous purge, if so I wasn't listening. If anyone can guess what time bracket, I'll confirm.
