"Pinks" next racer
Someone I know painted a car that was filmed on Pinks in October at Atco NJ. I got to go along and check out the filming but ended up at the other end of the track spotting how many lengths they win with. It was interesting to say the least but I have to agree with most of you its still a bunch of crap spotting lengths and the "negotiations." Long story short it will air in February with the new series, I made some friends at the track, the guy I went with won and got the advertising he wanted for his speed shop. He had a green and gold fox body mustang with a 302 stuffed to the gills with NOS that they threw together for the show. He had some pretty dramatic launches with wheel stands that sprung the trunk. We were 2 up on them and the other guy had a 90 something Camaro that ended up throwing a rod on the start of the 3rd race so we won. On air he took the other car but about 2 hours later sold it back to him in the parking lot. I honestly watch the show just to check out the cars and the set ups. The negotiating and hand dropping is gay as hell I must admit.
