I got digital cable for 1 night just to see that show, it was the one with two old cameros one white and one orange. The guy in white sand bagged the entire time. As soon as I saw the jackass waving his arms around I thought what the hell is he thinking?
The next night the digital cable box went back **** that show
The next night the digital cable box went back **** that show

GOT .....................Period. Who in the hell asks for 20 cars? That is quiet possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard for a race negotiation. Another thing, why run the first 2 runs on radials when you had slicks in your trailer all along? The T/A had his **** together, the car hooked good and went straight, and even with an injured transmission, he still layeth the smacketh downeth on the poor little ricers candy ***.....It was great.

I think the host knows as much about racing as my girlfriend. For those that don't know, that's a pretty bad insult. I've hated him ever since he whined so much about Tony and the guy in the ls1 TA "street racing" and "nitrous bullshit". So, what is it exactly....
1. They call each other out in an attempt to win the other car(leaning more towards street racing stakes)
2. They meet up at the track and negotiate for lengths,etc(more like track racing)
3. They line up and go off of a flagman instead of using the lights that are right there(street racing)
4. You can't preload suspension or even attempt to cut a decent tree, because he will say you jumped( )
When you go off of the light, there is no second guessing if someone jumped,etc.......plus we could finally get that guy off of the screen so I don't have to see his stupid starting technique anymore. One day he's going to act hard with somebody like he normally does, and they are going to smooth KO his ***.

You can see a dyno sheet and some track times from right after the show here
http://www.carolinaautomasters.com/
their is a link on the left that says pinks and has a story and look in the high horsepower club for a dyno sheet. My car was seriously detuned for this show i was pulling lots of timing a very small air filter and i had my 2 step at 2300 i usually launch at 4200. I took the car down the track after I won it. That car was no joke the guy just couldn't drive. I barked the tires in every gear that thing shifted well and I'm sure i ran a better time than him my first time in the car
My car has run 9.40s at 146 with a bad launch I have made a few more changes since the show and expect high 8s this year. The reason my car was missing was I was pulling a bunch of timing the first two races I had a switch in the car to put timing back in but second was gone and it wasn't gonna help everything was going exactly how i planned untill I lost second then I needed the bottle because I have a very low first and 3 is 1to1 it just won't go in third at that low rpm but it did with Juice to give you an idea how fast that was I had a tune in the car to run about 10.7 for the first two the last race was a low ten or high nine in the low 140s. The only reason i wasn't freaking out is I had a great crew and my job was to srive i didn't have to touch the car if i would have had to work on it I would have been a complete wreck. The final numbers on the civic 658whp a legit low ten high nine car with a driver the car weighed in at 2100#s
Oh he didn't buy it back for a hundred that is bs they have been spreading a bunch of lies the only reason i sold it back was his dad told him he would buy him a ZO6 and I didn't want that idoit in a real car so I sold him back his toy
