no nos , then nos, then he actually asks for 15 cars,
if you need to ask for that then either you shouldn't be racing each other or this is just a fun run, could you see a guy going for even $1000 and asking for 15 cars, never mind a race for ownerships.....i think that was stupid. but i still watched it maybe the next one will be better

I can't stand it when people build something and then let it sit and rot in a parking lot becuase it looks good.

:hah: and what exactly do you drive for you to assume that anything over a 10sec race is not a race? wow... I'm getting some Dom Toretto flash backs here...
dude... thanks for the laugh - at your ignorance.

The Real Story on PINKS :AS TOLD BY THE RACER FROM CHITOWN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So last year I called the producer/host of the show pinks. said I wanted to be on the show and race for titles. He tells me im going to be racing some civic from california. so I get an 89 formula roller and start putting a budget car togeather for this show with every intention of racing it for titles. about 2 months later i get a call saying the guy from california backed out. So im like wtf??? The producer/host is like do you know anyone from your area that you could race against?. im like i think i got your guy. so i call jucin up cause he likes to be on tv, and basically said do you want to be on this show pinks? we set it up so that we had no risk of losing our cars.
Now since we had no risk of losing the cars we decided to sell the formula and use my wifes car. put in a new cam, heads, and fogger kit to be a comparable race for jucin. The night before we had to leave the oil pan cracked and we had no replacement at the time. We scrambled and called up tom "bird of prey" and I said "can we borrow your car for the weekend" With us being in a bind he kindly said sure. We straped a nitrous kit on an otherwise stock car and headed for iowa.
We get there early "like the producer/host told us to. and find out we had to wait til it was dark to shoot the episode, so that sucked. It was like 15 degrees outside and was freezing my *** off.
When we finally started going I myself got so agrivated with how everything was going I was going to put the car on the trailer and leave. I got threatend by the producer/host that I couldnt leave and had to do the show otherwise he would take my car. "even though it wasnt even mine and had no title for it." So we ended up doing the race the Producer/hosts wanted it to be. I did what they told me to. I really didnt care if i won or lost considering we wernt going to lose anything and just acted for the camera.
In closing. NO I did not lose a car nor had any risk of losing the car. and actulally started driving it home right after the camera's were shut off. and jucin blew his car up. And thats the truth.
I got an invite to the premier of the show in california with no plane ticket attached. declined the offer and sent this email to the producer.
"Thanks for the invite but i will have to decline the offer. In all honesty If i would have known how it was gonna turn out i would have never have done it. I slaved to get a car done in time for your guys show. it didnt happen so we used a back up car. paid god knows how much in gas to get out into the middle of bum in the freezing cold winter to basically put on a show for you guys. ends up u guys dont know the first thing about racing and i get argivated and was just like eh whatever il put on a show and lose. and now i look like some stroke that lost his car on tv without even getting my shop plugged.
Then The Producer/host calls up saying hey we need you to do another show. so im like I cant afford it right now im not made of money. than im like well it I will try and put somthing togeather. I spend a bunch of money on another car and end up not being able to finish it cause like i said i really couldnt afford it. so now im broke and trying to get myself back on my feet. I would just assume not be associated with this show any more. its been far more trouble than it was worth.
What did i get out of it? I look like a loser on tv, and im in debt. what did you guys get? a big fat paycheck. have a nice day."
After the show aired I made a few post explaining my situation. I got a call from the producer and host saying the fox network was very upset about what I was saying on the internet and i had better take it down. So i took it down and now i realized I never got a copy of the supposed contract i signed so i can say what I want. All Im doing is telling the TRUTH about the show.
I Hope the show does well. it is a great idea. best of luck to them with future shows
And i did get a check for $300 for gas after i begged for it.
