"Pinks" results

Thanks for clearing that up !! That makes a whole lot more sense.
Although I did see an episode, I think the guy with SS Monte Carlo,
it was his personal car and he only had about 2 or 3 guys with him.
Forking out hard earned money and maybe lose the ride, just to be on
T.V. , yeah, I guess that's worth it, if you can afford to lose it.

I caught another show on Discovery the other night. It was called
"Street Racing, Need for Speed," the concept of the show was there,
but the racers were all imports.
I almost fell out of my lazy boy, when they quoted the "King of the
Street", was a 12 second Honda!! That's the king !! Can't remember
what city it was, but everyone on the show thought that car was the
bomb. I guess import guys are the only stupid ones left out there
that street race. 12 seconds..... My work truck will do 12's.
I've street raced for years on the south side of Chicago in the
late 80's and 90's. Heck the cops used to block the road off for us.
Street racing was never a big issue, until the import scene took off.
Now, its a big strike against you, plus fines, & jail time. We raced
for years, with no accidents. Maybe, I should'nt be so hasty jumping on
the import guys. A crotch rocket motorcycle unexperienced driver was
the first casualty that I recall. I kind of miss street racing back in
the day, we had some good times. One summer, I cleared over 5
grand racing unsuspecting suburbanites. I used sleeper cars, 1 was
a '73 Galaxie 500 ex-cop car. It was a special order 428 Police Interceptor, I still don't know how that engine got into a '73 when they
quit making them in 1970. So much fun blowing away new IROC Z's and
stock 5.0's with a 4 dr. sedan.
