I think I recall one the guys on the Valiant team say "Out of the junkyard and on to the track, I don't think we did too bad". LOL! A man after my own heart. The kid did seem to need the cash and the driver of the Valiant was a true gentleman.
On a side note, I'm embarassed to admit that I do watch Pinks like watching train wreck, I just cant help it! On a recent episode, the bald guy (Stephen Pullin?) wipes out on a sport bike on camera and ends up in the ambulance! Then, once he gets his road rash taken care of, he says he's been riding since he was 5. Bullshit. Anyone with any experience knows that that you never hammer on any bike on the road with a cold rear tire, even more so at night when there may be condensation.
