BC Company to appear on PINKS

Killer Customs and Performance Inc. of Pitt Meadows BC has been chosen to represent Canada on the Smash television show “PINKS”. The number 1 rated program on SPEED channel.

Killer Customs is starting construction of a 1969 Camaro to be raced at Pacific International Raceway in Seattle on September 23 2006. This is an extremely short time frame to build an entire car as most builds like this would take 6 months to 1 year, Killer Customs is going to do it in 4 Weeks.

This race will be shown on the first episode of “Pinks” season 4 and will be rebroadcast 30 to 50 times over the shows lifespan.

Killer Customs will be the ONLY CANADIAN team to appear on “PINKS” in all 4 seasons. Killer Customs will be racing a local Seattle team and the team who wins 3 out of 5 races TAKES HOME THE OTHER TEAMS CAR!!! No crying allowed

You see so many cars on Pinks that are built up JUST prior to the show, it's obvious to me that not too much pride is hurt if the person loses his car.

I heard Ed talking about it last night (Saturday) at the Clearview Cruise-in. Too bad it is the same day as CCC.
