Default Props to Texas (Pinks!)

Have never seen a guy launch & reel in another car off the line like the guy from Texas did last week on Pinks. Don't recall his name, but, that guy knew how to drag race for sure.

Justin Burcham, the guy that won the season premiere has the world's fastest 3V Mustang. Check out Procharger's website and you can see his 05 GT.

Trevin is really good at what he does. I've known him for many years as well as the crew that went with him for support. I remember a few years ago when he bought that 70 1/2 split bumper for his son to drive

That show has improved over last season. The last one definitely was one of the better shows. Any idea what that camaro runs in the 1/4?

One of these days they'll finally figure out they need a tree

This season is better. Ther host admitted that last season he had to allow anyone with a car to come on the show. This year he claims that the hard core racers are swarming him for show time. From what has been shown on the first two episodes, it is more about the race.

Watch the Trevin episode. It's an awesome display of racing starting with car set up through crossing the finish line. It really represents street/drag racing well.

they have so many issues and so much drama that could all be solved by using a tree instead of the guy that tries to act like a hard ***, flaggin' his arms down. i hate when they give car lengths and stuff that is so dumb, if you dont want to race your car straight up then dont go on the show.
