Pinks All Out from E-town.......
 
The Pinks All Out that was taped at Englishtown will air October 2nd.

The eliminations were really good racing, extremely tight finishes.

I heard a duster won

mc73nova 09-13-2008 05:28 PM

A duster did win. I wasn't one of the sixteen but I'm hoping they got me in the pits!

Not just a Duster, a real MANUAL trans Duster!!!

Both of the finalists were picking gears the old fashioned way. Impressive isn't even the word for how those guys drove.

mc73nova 09-13-2008 05:46 PM

All the races were close and is so much better in person, rather than watching it on t.v. There was a nice t/a there but he lost in the semi's if I remember correctly. He was running nitrous and forgot to turn the bottle on. The cars were as awesome as the racing. It will be a good show to watch. Nothing like watching heads up racing at the stripe.

NJSPEEDER 09-13-2008 06:04 PM

Yeah, the guys with the pewter T/A were from CT. They are cool guys, hung out with them in Memphis last year.

EchoMirage 09-13-2008 06:36 PM

from what i heard from cris winters, it sucked. pinks told them to expect 15K people.....got about 2K. had to stretch the hell out of it to make the full 12hrs.

mc73nova 09-13-2008 06:46 PM

Don't know who he is but everyone has their own opinion. If he didn't like it he must not love racing itself. The number of people didn't make a difference in the racing. I would do it again if I had the chance, I met a lot of cool people and saw a lot of unique cars. There were a couple dozen of us at the stripe on the pit side having a great time.

yeah i dont think so. chris winters works at etown. runs their road course. accomplished road racer, drag racer, and former craftsman truck racer.

mc73nova 09-14-2008 06:18 PM

Like I said everyone has their own opinion, and for your average racer like alot of us (bracket racers) are it was a fun event. Maybe it was bad for his standards but for the blue collared guys that bust their ass all week so they can go racing on Saturday it was a good time.

There was waaaayyyyyyy more than 2k people there. The bleachers certainly weren't packed like when NHRA comes to town, but they were very full. The reserved seating looked like they sold about 75% of the tickets, and down where we were in the general admission seats were at least half full, if not more.

I don't know Cris Winters, but it sounds like his info is a bit off.

Thats pretty cool! I went from the auto firebird to a stick sc2 and I cant wait for the coin for a car with balls thats a manual..

I tried driving the cobalt just before and it was so weird and boring...

Z28Justin 10-02-2008 05:37 PM

tonight. just a reminder for those who wanna watch it.

mc73nova 10-02-2008 05:41 PM

i'll be watching very close. my car was shown 3 times last night on pinks allout takes,it was probably a total of 3 seconds but it was exciting for me!

Anti_Rice_Guy 10-02-2008 08:01 PM

on now

79CamaroDiva 10-02-2008 09:27 PM

i heard that island got a small mention from a guy with a white t/a... i'm not sure who it is though, didn't see it.

Anti_Rice_Guy 10-02-2008 09:43 PM

I didn't see that Melissa. or your car Matt. I saw a wicked white TBSS yanking the wheels wayyy off the ground real quick. And some verrrrrry close races.

mc73nova 10-02-2008 09:45 PM

I was on there twice, once in the back ground when the guy was interviewing the chick with the flamed camaro and my car launching about 20 minutes in. I tvo'd it of course! I got my 5 seconds of fame between the two shows!

Anti_Rice_Guy 10-02-2008 10:03 PM

Must've missed ya...I'll try to remember to check next time. Waiit what flamed camaro chick? I definitely don't remember that

mc73nova 10-02-2008 10:15 PM

the girl they were interviewing in the pits, it was a 69 camaro with flames, it goes 9.20's.
