No prep Kings screws the pooch in Texas

Ran the 7.0 index once. Would have run it again, but when you “register” at the track, they tell you, this is NOT A RACE. It is a TV show. I got paired with a guy through their chip draw, was told you MUST race the car you draw. If you don’t, you lose. Sitting behind the burnout box and they wave my guy in but hold me. They wave my guy in against another guy. Wave the guy at the box over. Tell him that is my guy, he says so. They pair me with the guy who was supposed to get a bye. I lose to him. He’s ballistic in the next chip draw. I’m thinking my guy should be out. He didn’t run me. They don’t care. NOT A RACE. A TV show. Then Discovery bailed, never aired the episode. Brought a knife to a gun fight. Car has only ever run a 7.2 in the 1/8th.
