That's the way I figgered it's SUPPOSED to be. Pinks for pinks. The way it done in the REAL world. A TON more interesting and exciting to REAL car folks that is..... Now it's all about FLASH and CASH for the uneducated youths and wannabe's.......

I ran a Pinks event 2 years ago at my home track (US 131). Put my old motor back in took some timing out so it would run 10.0's since they seem to pick 10 sec classes quite often. Well they picked 10.20's-10.30's that day. It was OK and I would do it again if it was that close to home. For a $65.00 entry and a chance to win $10,000 not a bad deal if you can put up with some BS.

Oh and Zip you are 100% right it isn't drag racing at all and congrats on everything you have done at the track. I wish I could have 10% of the success you have had over the years.

Oh and Merry Christmas back at ya Bjuice.

I won't even call you an A$$hole unless you want me to.LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I used to watch those shows all the time when I could. I even got pretty much all the seasons out here. There are missing shows but still I bought it for 10 bucks. Anyways, going back thru and watching them again and it just pissed me off seeing how much cheating there was going on during them. Ever since then I have never watched them again. Even tho I love down home drag racing but that was just taking it to far.

Tons of cheating then tons of BS by Rich...One of my friends was on there with a Pink Honda civic that they lost. Funny thing is the Nitrous set up they had in the car, was fake and only there for negotiating factors..They still ost the car..lol

The funny thing is I remember that episode. It is on the set that I bought in Iraq. I even remember them saying on TV that it wasnt even hooked up at all and that they were just the bottles and nothing else.

How do you cheat in a "street race" ?

the best bullshitter wins.

There was one episode with 2 mustangs. one guy was from BOSTON. They got screwed.The other mustang was clearly faster and they were obviously sand bagging,but Rich gave them whatever race they wanted it seemed. Then in the last race the guy had him covered so bad he burped the throttle all the way down the track. I fealt bad for the kid that lost.

Ummmm, you just said how to cheat in a street race. They are supposed to agree to bring a car that runs a certain time, like say 11.50 cars. Now if you bring a car that is capable of an 11.0 obviously thats within reason with all the BS car lengths and BS ing going on. But when I bring an 11.5 car like we we agreed and you show up with a car capable of 9.0's then obviously your cheating.

the earlier seasons they did not have any type of rules for how fast the car goes. It was Nate's job(after he was hired) to match cars up that were close.I don't know how they did it toward the end.

There is no cheating in a street race.They lie through their teeth to get the advantage. But I know what you meant,and it is a good point. I hate iot when one car is way faster than the other.
