pinks!!!
You just have to be wise in your decisions. IF you never driven the car like you clamied you should have known better than to race a veteran. just simple things. When you go through a entire set up, but forget LSD, that makes no sense. You should have driven your hatchback sense you have drove that car before and ran an 11.3, i just don't understand, then ask for 20 car lenghts. that's embarrasing. I watched it over a buddies house and it brought his respect ay down and he has a GN, just be smart next time
Big props to Jeff. I thuoght he was a good guy when i saw the show. you have to thank God for people like him. he didn't have to give the car back.
.
Good job Jeff

I have never been so embarrased to be an import enthusiast.Was the car really 600 hp?And with no slicks,peg legged burnouts and obviously no driving skills.I was pissed.He should have just handed over the keys at the begining.At least his Z3 fenders looked good.....not!!Can we get some real cars out there and get some respect back?
I congratulate both of them for having the nads to go on the show. Both seemed like good sports, and their comments here reinforce that. I could never put my car up no matter how much confidence I have in it or my driving skills (or lack thereof, as the case may be).
It wasn't a great showing for the imports, but I'm sure it's not the last time they'll have a domestic vs. import on the show. It's all about the drama. The next one will be that much more exciting knowing the imports have to make up for the crushing defeat.

If everyone is so worried about John making us import guys look bad, who is going to go up next???????????????? I dont know all the details of the race but I did see that firebird go in the nine like two weeks later at capital.
People REALLY need to think before going out in public and representing groups. And well ALL know that's how this was seen.....
Wouldn't be so bad if people saw that as one guys Camaro vs another guys Honda.
We all know 99% of people who viewed that saw it as IMPORT vs DOMESTIC plain and simple.
20 car lengths? Pathetic.
A sad sad sad day for imports as a whole. And another excuse for domestics to lump us all together as ricer morons.

Do you think Paul E would ever run his car on there??? Probally not I know I would not

Unmatched Race? " Others could have done better" These are ALL excuses that NOBODY cares about.
If you don't have the goods, stay on the porch. Be wise enough to know the difference. You don't get points for knowingly showing up to a race and losing just because the other guy was better. Even the nature of the show "PINKS" implies, run what ya brung and make sure you brung enough. A smart racer makes sure he brings enough PLUS some extra for good measure and thats just in everyday run of the mill races...let alone on TV!
I've been told that the whole "lose your car forever" thing is just poppycock but the racers cannot divulge that because, well, thats what makes the show SEEM more exciting.
It sounds like you're giving him credit for going on the show, credit for havingthe moxy to do it and the ***** to do it. Could it be that IGNORANCE was the denominator, and not *****? He probably thought he was going to be **** of the walk. He went thinking he was a badass, and got owned. This is the SAME thing "ricers" do every weekend in everytown USA, and what perpetuates the "Import owners aren't real racers, dont know what they're doing" myths.
It's like watching a guy base jump off a cliff that's really a bit too dangerous. "Wow that guys got *****". Ever think that it's because he's just dumb and doesn't realize the full danger?
You're acting as if he came to the battle knowing he was David trying to slay the mighty Goliath and deserves character points for even having the ***** to do it.
Honestly I dont see how someone "in the know" could come to a battle that half cocked, so I'm leaning towards the ignorance theory rather than character or *****. He just didn't know what he was getting into.....which AGAIN, goes back to the "import owners are ignorant little ricer kids who run around racing in warehouse districts and think they're hot **** when they're nothing".
Either way the IMPORT community lost as a whole. It shouldn't be percieved that way, but thats just how the world works.

</TD></TR></TABLE> i am not making excuses for anyone I am just making a point, Yes it sucks that the import lost but most import guys that have fast cars are not going to take it to PINKS and run that risk, Yes he should of packed a bigger lunch but he did not. IMO it is easier to slap a V8 together and put nitrous on it and it will run, no disrespect to domestic cars I think them to. My whole point is everyone is talking trash about how the kid made us all look bad and no one is will to rematch the guy to get the respect for imports back!!!!!

Im sure the guy who owns the car is a nice guy, and I just now read where he said " he learned a lot". I wish he just didn't choose to learn on National TV. Like I said, it wouldn't be so bad if the Import stereotype wasn't so hard to overcome. It makes National TV shows like this a major set back for all of us. Thats all I'm saying.

i bet theres 2 things you kentucky boys are smoking out there, bluegrass and poles
and im a fan of neither.
if everyone doesnt like the way they were represented i suggest calling the show and setting up your own races. im sure the producers will make it a little more fair for ya
but bitching and complaining on ht isnt going to solve anyones problems.
this forum is for things like problem solving isnt it, or did everyone forget that?

If you couldn't handle it then you shouldn't have done it. It was a sad showing, a pretty much half *** overhyped attempt. Little car "supposedly" making big whp, bogging off the line running strret dot's when you have slicks in a truck just all around fucked up. You shouldn't have let them talk you into anything. All races on slicks would have been a better and more convincing showing.
I first have all wouldn't even have rolled mine off the truck on street tires knowing I had slicks. Then get a 20 car headstart and barel when...come on

you are right..... even if we all think we could do better.
he went out there, had a bad strategy, and lost.

Got guts kid! Something that I couldn't have done. Should have done some test runs first. Nice motor made some damn good power 658. Everyone knows what the car should have ran, Practice makes perfect just not on pinks!
