lol, when ever i think of ppl breaking down, im always reminded of the honda civic with HUGGGGGGGGE slicks, getting half track head start, and on launch he snaps his u joint off, and the other car FLYS!! lol
The Civic that ran against the TA right?

The guy that owns that TA has done some tuning for me. They have the poor kids front bumper hanging up in their shop, lol. They sold that Civic back to the original owner after the show.

For sure. When you need half the damn track to win, well...that pretty much sums it up.

To add insult to injury, the TA had destroyed his 2nd gear and was going straight from 1stto 3rd! It was still a nasty little Civic, but it looked like he just overloaded it.

I watched the episode tonight, it was sad, but either way I think that Toyota might have won either way, because he was bogging like a **** when he shifted, it was probably an 11 second car easily. I rather watch Pass time, its alot funner to watch nowadays, although I do watch Pinks sometimes.

It happens. My first run tonight at E-town i came out of the hole nicely hit second hard and heard a loud POP and the card died. I coasted it to the turn off and found out my fuel pump fuse blew. I should have had a 30 amp in there but had a 20 amp. Luckily it was a cheap fix.

Alot of the drivers cant drive. Most of the drivers have never been on the track before until then, and if they have maybe just a few times.

I lost interest in Pinks. All it is is a bunch of whiners in shoddily-built cars bitching about the other guy cheating or sandbagging.....
