Pinks!! New Pinks Feb.22!!

[giddyup50]

I can't wait til next Wed. when the new Pinks starts!! Looks like they're going to have more Mustangs, Firebirds, and Camaros!! I hope they don't have cars like that piece of crap 1920's Ford that was on the first season. NO, not all 1920's cars are crap, but if you saw that car it was crap! I also hope they don't have those stupid go-carts or motorcycles. I love to drive go-carts and ride motorcycles, I just don't want to watch them race, sorry...they're not as fun to watch as cars.

The #1 thing I hope they don't have is "lengths". How stupid is that?! By doing that one car is not running a full 1/4mile. I also hope they don't have the host (forget his name) start the race. That is why they had problems when some cars left early/or not. If they would use the tree they could just bracket race (for lengths) and also to see if someone redlights. Using the tree just eliminates both problems.

i watched that show when i was in SC, its pretty kool. whats wrong with giving cars extra car length's? that races uneven almost every time

[G-man422]

I wish i got that channel.....*sigh*

[giddyup50]

What's wrong with giving lengths is that the car with the "head start" is not running exactly 1/4mile. Some cars are set up perfectly for the 1/4, not 5-20 car lengths short of that. I know it doesn't sound like much but it is on some cars. If they're going to do that, they should just use the tree, it would eliminate all of those problems.

Pinks is stupid, no trees and half the time the cars cant even compete with each other heads up, its all on your negotiating skills.

[giddyup50]

I agree, they should find cars that can go against each other heads up. But that is probably easier said than done. I know we can think of atleast 20 cars at our local track or around town that could go heads up, however would they be willing to give up their car if they lost?

[Mr. Luos]

Needs MUCH more racing and less BS.

[giddyup50]

I agree, need less BS, more racing.
Love your videos of your car! Even though it's a Firechicken. It looks and sounds AWESOME! Almost makes me want a Firebird...well, maybe...nah.

Thanks!

Sorry Mr. Luos, you know I had to give ya crap with the whole Firebird VS. Mustang thing. I love the looks and performance of the newer Firebirds AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A PUSHROD ENGINE LIKE A MUSCLE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE! But they just don't have any room to work under the hood like the Mustang does, unless you have a Cobra then it's pretty tight in there to.

Don't get me wrong guys, I know the 4.6 is getting better but I just don't like having 2 cams and chains sets. I know, I know, less moving parts with no pushrods and we're supposed to advance with technology. But why does the 4.6 up to 04 only have 260hp and 300hp in 05 and 06 AND THEY HAD TO ADD AN EXTRA VALVE (more moving parts) TO GET 300??!! Ford could've kept the 5.0 and 5.8 and used SVT parts to get 300hp EASILY 10 years ago. Who knows how much horse today!

I just like GM for keeping an engine that has proven itself for over 50 years and improving on that.

I LOVED THE NEW PINKS!!!!

I thought that punk Brian Leaf (who lost) got what he deserved!! Taking a win on the first run because the other guy had some gas come out of his tank during the burnout!!! That was a cheap win!!! Then Brian broke his drive shaft and the other guy took that as a win. What goes around comes around!!! In the end the good guy won!!! Tobad I can't remember his name though!

DID YOU SEE HIM LAUNCH ON THE FIRST PASS???!!! DUDE ROAD THE BUMPER!!!

[neatofrito1618]

haha yeah it was alright. that was pretty gay that he took the win because the guy spilt gas on the track. they've showed it like 4 times though

[Burnerdominator]

Yeah just like the host said its a chicken sh!t way to win and it always comes back to haunt you. And the winning guy even said that he wouldve given him more time if he wouldnt have take the first win.

[banditkiller]

I heard about the new episode. Brian leaf was actually supposed to race another guy and at the last minute they called justin in cuz the other guy chickened out. Had briaN on one of the local radio shows yesterday and he was saying how he was tkaing a win for the whole gas thing because a win is a win. Its a lil unfair on justins side, e has more national ford shootout championships and experience with mustangs than the law should allow for someone his age. His whole shop actually pretty much shut down while they were building that car. It actually took him about 5 days to get his car together. Although if I had the funds to build a ten second car in 10 days I would. I think jpc was actually one of the first shops to get the 05 gt's into the 10's. I remember seeing them test and tune a few times at one of the local tracks. Man that thing was bad ass.



EDIT Giddyup His name is justin barch. Im not sure if hes online or not but ill try and find a link.

Yeah, I know they showed it 4 times.....I watched'em all!!!! I loved the way Justin (the winner) launched on the first run!!! Each time I watched it I knew what was going to happen but, I still found myself saying "common, go, go, go and laughing when Brian (THE LOSER) broke his drive shaft.


I KNOW......I HAVE A PROBLEM....I NEED HELP!!

BUT, I CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK!!!
