i know somone on here is either the owner of that car or knows the guy. i heard about it from my bro in law he said it was too fast. i just laughed, asked him if he recorded it for me but of course he didn't. just wanted to know what times he was putting down and to be kicked off pinks for being to fast is something insane. heck i thought that show was all about how fast your car was.
 
It was a TSM car “Team Banana” Driven by Tim LeMay. They beat an over 500 cubic inch tubbed out Mopar. They were running all out.

They got sent home for running all out. The Pinks crew doesn’t give you a time slip for your final pass, or any passes you make in eliminations. The track was not the best the day before. (The event got rained out and postponed until the next day). I am guessing they laid down a much better 60 foot and picked up on ET. I bet MPH stayed nearly the same. Either way the guy with the Mopar (who wound up winning the event) should be pretty embarrassed by getting beat by a little V6 with a small slick out back
 
Yeah the host Rich is a huge Mopar fan but when interviewed by Hot Rod he owns two hybrids and he really is not a car guy at all just all into the competition factor! And of course the money!:eek:
 
what a sell out

for him to be the host of that show and be into it for the money which helps but still be into it for what it is. my favorite show was when he busted his a55 on that bike. then tried to play it off saying he owns 3-5 bikes but not a crotch rocket. i saw him when he came to an arm drop here in fort worth a few months back. didn't really take time to pose for photo's or anything. And a Buick went to the finals but lost to a chevelle because he couldn't get his tires to get a good grip.
 
This is the only one I know of, its a few years old but he didnt get kicked off.

YouTube - Grand National at the first "Pinks All Out"

I remember that episode. I was wondering why they showed a MonteCarlo SS going down the track for that short blip while they were talking about John’s Buick. Common mistake though. Not going to bust the producers chops he works very hard at these events.

I was pulling for the GN’s to win. Looks like those Buicks have a habit of loosing to the car (or in this case truck) that wins the event.

We participated in Pinks all Out in St. Louis, and had a blast at the event. I do Miss Nate not being on the show. I gotta wonder about this new guy that is down on the starting line.

Any way the episode with the TSM car was in Indianapolis.
