Default e-mail pinks!!!

I figured there is 1,000 of us on here. I just e-mailed pink about doing more import races against domestic. I mean you can see domestic races all day on TV as it is. Show us a little more Imports. The one that was on (the red Civic) was a joke and I do not want that to rep us. So if you would all like to e-mail them here is the link. http://www.pinks.tv/ and click on "comment". I think we could really get something started here.

I also said something about a build off. Take an Import and a domestic and have them build it from the ground up, then let them race. Owell just a thought.

yeah we need some guys willing to lose their $30k import build to potentially win a $5k domestic. Go for it.

It was a Civic.

I would like to see more imports run also. Pinks needs to do more research before they pick who goes on the show. The racers need to be equally matched in there skill level as a driver, slick to slick or DOT tire to DOT tire, 1/4 mile times etc.... It would make for a much better show!!!

One word.......Shepperd.......It would never happen, but he could take down almost anybody on the show!!! (he may be to well know to surprise anyone??) It would be the opposite of the Camaro vs Civic!!

I know they make a ton of power, but a stock Busa will go in the nines, and Jason Millers bike that was on there a few weeks back was a 7.40 or better ride. No supra would touch that. Unless they asked for a ridiculous amout of space. I agree, better import vs. domestic races are needed, but don't say something like that.

Lol, a fully built Supra costs under 30K? Sorry for the reality check but 90% Supras get their asses handed to them in the 1/4 mile. Just becuase a Supra can pull from a bike in internet videos with a 100mph roll, doesn't mean that Supra can beat the bike in a real race

Street tired turbo Busa's been low 7's and 200mph. I'm a die-hard Supra head but a well built turbo fox body would give a Supra a hell of a run.

Well, I would have to beg to differ. Granted most owners of high horsepower Supra may be well off in the income department but they can't drive worth a lick, especially 6-speed cars. In addition, the IRS is another restricting factor for drag racing. However Ryan Woon has proven that a full weight, stock rear, stock 6-speed STREET car can put down some serious numbers. See for yourself. http://wotm.com/multimedia.html. Paul Efantis has also been in the 8's with his wife's street 6-speed. 100% Full interior with a/c and stereo.

I will put my VW GTi up for an episode of Pinks! She only runs mid 11's and isn't street legal, does it have to be street legal for pinks? I could make that happen if need be!

I need to study up some things about pinks. Time to read the website, thanks for the link! I got a little nephew with a fast 80's Camaro that wants to lay the smack down on me. That would be a funny family episode of Pinks, he ain't getting his car back either.

I was not even thinking about the whole rolling thing, my bad. Your right, the Busa is going to take the Supra of the start. But aether way we need more shows showing what we can do. Not these damn Tuner transformation, DIY tuner crap and what the hell was that show on MTV just messing up a hb Civic, 240, new 2006 si. We just need to have a real show. I am not at all knocking Domestics, But every car show out there is just that. I know we can give the ratings.

Thats great if they let them run!!!

Does anyone remember the show with the older Vette vs Nova (may be wrong about the Nova)? Both cars were very fast, guessing in the 8 sec range, but were still on 10" slicks. The first run they were all over the track and the Vette actually went sideways across the finish line. After that race I knew it was going to be the best episode of Pinks yet!!!!! Then the host said for safety reasons they were limiting them to 1/8 mile only. If you ask me it should be up to the driver. Everyone knows the danger in racing and these two guys seemed like they ran their cars on the street/track enough to be very experianced. The show needs some work, but it does have potential.
