When i did pinks in Etown, i did not see anyone from the show the entire time other than when we did our arm drop pass. The only person i spoke to was Nate on the phone several times, who my friend was personal friends with and got me the hook up last minute. It was an experience, but it was nothing like you see on TV thats for sure
They only come out into the lanes and talk to the final 32, and they were very biased towards Imports and it was very obvious. lol for good reason I must admit. I have yet to see an import run as consistant as mine did. 10.26-10-27 all day off the foot brake. 8)
All the smack talking i did, and i would probably do it again since i live close to the track and it was only like $75. Where else can you win $10,000 for $75??
I do know that Nate and his brother branched off and do that "grass roots" drag series, but i have yet to see any TV coverage on it..I think he had a falling out with Rich.
