speaking of pinks, i just saw the commercial for the new season and thought i saw 1 or maybe 2 gns on the line. its a very fast shot and you cant see the cars very well. earlier in the commercial there was a non ss monte, i suppose the car i saw at the end could have been that, like i said the shot is a very quick cut. what im asking is does any one know about a gn or a pair of them racing on pinks in the new season? i would think if it was happening we would have heard about it by now, but who knows.
I was driving for my friend Alex. Both of us were on the show twice. The first time, I didn't drive. The second time, I drove. We had a blast both times. Even if though we lost the mammoth on the second episode. I'm a pinks fan for sure. The people on the pinks crew were awesome.

We were going to take my Idaho car there...but we had issues with the ignition system. On both episodes. However, on the 2nd episode, Alex was interested in getting me some air time. He purchased the mammoth in Arizona and we used it to try to win the Chevy powered Mustang from the guys in Oaklahoma. It has a pretty sick, real-flame paint job. We lost the mammoth to those guys and it's now in their possession. They have been doing some runs with it at their local track and I'm sure it gets a lot of attention.
I do want to take my twin turbo race car there you are correct...I'd like to do it for money...not for pinks. My Dad purchased the WE-4 in San Francisco in May of '87, so I'd hate to lose it to someone. It's been the family too long.
Speaking of which
Ironically, the mammoth has been posted on Ebay.

Too bad the show's creator (the nazi looking guy) doesnt know a spark plug from a freeze plug. I read an article about the show in some mustang mag, and he's openly, completely ignorant about cars. Just a guy who was trying to pitch different show ideas to networks for 15 years, and finally got lucky with this one. I like how he inspects a car like he knows what he's looking at..but who am I to judge. :redface:
