Headed To Rockingham Nc Tomorrow To Run Pinks All Out

I hope they choose 16 around the 12.00 mark so I can get on TV. Oh well maybe I'll get a cameo appearance. Wish me luck!

Lexus
Pinks

I've been waiting for someone to bring a 55 on that show.. vs a M5/M6 for pinks..

Too bad they both would probably have leins or leases on them.

PS did anyone see the snowsled episode? how crazy was that?

You might have a good chance on making the show. I don't think they have ever had a Mercedes on that show. Best of Luck.

At the 13 minute mark of the Texas "All Out", you'll see a CL55 slowly sliding through the background. I got interviewed but that ended up getting cut. A cameo was sufficient.

Pinks All Out Chose 10.5-10.7 cars at Rockingham, NC

A forum member JAMUSA from Charlotte came up to me in the staging lane talking before my 1st run and asked what I had done to my car. I told him it was stock. He had a Klemann IV on his E55. He asked about my I/C pump, if I had any trouble with it? I said no and on my first pass I noticed a lack of power with a 12.43 at 109 (usually at least a 12.25 at 114). On the return road I had no power the S/C was off, had to cut the car off to reset the problem. Screwed up my Pinks Debut. I was pissed. They chose a 4 wheel drive Porsche running 10.60s, a bunch of Mustangs, one a V6 Supercharged with Nitrous on the cover of Modified Mustangs Jan 07 edition.

I left Jamusa behind, he will pm me tomorrow with results. His friend with the four wheel drive turbo porsche looked strong, but 60% of the field had bracket racing experience.

All the 911 TT's are AWD. Unless the front drive is disconnected, kind of a poor man's GT2.

In Texas, Pinks advertised for street legal cars. All sorts of racers showed up and ran. Street legal? Some were, some weren't.
