I'm ready for the new season to start.
"All Out" will be in San Antonio early next year, I'm hoping to make it down that way to see it.

Hey, when will they be in San Antonio? I was pissed because I recently saw an episode filmed in Houston...don't know when though. I'd like to go to the one in San Antonio.

But yes, I love Pinks and All Out as well. I don't think I'd be willing to put my car on the line for Pinks, but being on All Out would be a blast.

Pinks The Game

Kinda lame, seeing as the negotiations are all messed up, but still good for a few races.

I went to pinks all out when they came to michigan. It was awesome to see the classic muscle cars out on the track and not being garage queens.

There were tons of people there, so if you end up going, you'll have to get there early to get a good seat.

OK, this is sad...I'm watching Pinks now, and it's a Domestic (Firebird) vs Import (Civic) episode. The Civic owner said "I just want to beat a domestic." He sounded so pitiful when he said it, like he'd been trying (and failing) for so long, that I just had to laugh...they also said they want to try to earn some respect for imports, then turned right around and asked for 20 car lengths. Yea, the negotiator for the Firebird pointed that out. LMAO! crazy

Stupid ricers...

He asked for 20 because "someone had sabatoged their boost line" or something like that - some hose. Sure enough, when they replaced it, they won that race by 20 cars or so. Went to the 5th race, because in the 3rd & 4th races, the TA gave them stupid leads. The TA finally won in the 5th race though, thank God.

The problem with Pink (or going on Pinks) is that it doesn't matter how fast your car is. It's all about negotiating.

All Out is where the actual racing is. You'll notice there is a severe lack of imports (can't figure out why).

thier too busy on the streets cutting people off, peeling out at every stop light and randomly switching lanes for no reason at all.

when do they play the new episodes for pinks, ive been watching re runs for ever now.

That's another reason I don't like Rich. In one episode, some sort of import got into the 16, and he said "Now that's what I'm talking about." So, apparently not only does he know nothing about cars, but (maybe because of that?) he likes imports.

I did see a black civic and a black 72 Nova race on pinks. I believe they went heads up because they both did below 12s or something. It was actually a pretty good race. The civic lost by 1 race.

I like watching pinks but the problem with the show is someone can sandbag slightly. Then at the very last race, all of a sudden their car can go warp 6. Then the loser looks stupid when they play "Walk away!!" That part is funny but at the same time very annoying.

you mean this one. and for the first ever import to make it into the top 8 out of 200+ cars its a pretty nice accomplishment. and there is nothing wrong with a honda civic running sub 10 sec. 1/4 mile times. it could even have a full body kit, huge wing, and neon lights it would look g** as H*** but its still faster then your car.

OK, update: I will be there. Kev, Bobby, Slick, Arc, or anyone else in (or close to) Texas, if y'all are interested in meeting up, lemme know. My friends and I are driving up Saturday morning (which sucks, cuz I will close the night before, so I won't even get off work until 2am), and we'll spend the night, see a couple of the sights Sunday morning, and then leave in time for me to get back to work late Sunday afternoon. laugh

So...anyone else plan on being there? Or will I be the only GP? (if that's the case, I'm just riding with one of my friends. lol)

I'm thinking about it for late in the afternoon tomorrow. I've been cleared by the wife, but I'm still not 100% that I'll go.
I've got yard work to do that didn't get done last weekend, so that's my first priority.

Man, I'm pissed...I was out there, freezing my *** off, and I don't know who won!! I know who crossed the line first, but the other lane's win light was on before they crossed. I don't think it comes on if they jump the arm drop. And it came on once earlier, give a false win when the guy lost.

The final 16 was the most exciting racing I have ever seen. Stupid Dotson was there for quite a while. They kept saying "an import never made it this far!" Yeah, well, it's only an import body - it had American power under the hood.

There was also I think 3 Honda Civics during the day running low 11s to mid 10s. The funny thing is, NONE of them could shift. They would almost blow their engine before final hitting the next gear. There was a full half second of no acceleration for each of them for each gear. If they know how to drive, they could have been in the 9s.
